DRIVING AIDS
86-8-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
PDC Switch
The PDC switch is located in the instrument pack cowl, below the fuel flap release switch. The switch has a
momentary, non-latching action, which switches a positive output from the PDC ECU to ground when pressed. This
signal is used by the ECU to switch the PDC between the activated and de-activated conditions. The switch is
connected to the PDC ECU via a harness connector which is integrated into the vehicle body harness.
The switch contains an LED. The LED illuminates for approximately 3 seconds when the ignition is switched to
position II for a bulb check. The bulb check is controlled by logic within the PDC ECU. When the system is active (i.e.
obstacle detected), the LED illuminates to show the active condition.
When the PDC is switched from the off condition to the active condition, the LED is illuminated briefly, along with a
chime from the sounder, to signal that the system has been activated.
If a fault exists in the PDC system, the ECU flashes the LED continuously, when the switch is pressed to activate the
system.

DRIVING AIDS
86-8-10 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Operation
PDC System Operation
When the ignition switch is in position II and reverse gear is selected, the PDC sensors are automatically activated.
The PDC ECU only activates the system if reverse is selected for more than 1 second. This avoids nuisance audible
warnings when the gear selector lever is being moved between Drive and Park on vehicles with automatic
transmission.
When the system is activated, the PDC ECU illuminates the indicator LED in the PDC switch, switches on the
ultrasonic sensors and generates a single chime on the PDC sounder to indicate the system is active. If an object is
range of the sensors when the system is activated, a series of audible warnings are emitted by the PDC sounder
immediately.
If PDC operation is not required, it can be suspended temporarily by pressing the PDC switch. When reverse is
deselected and subsequently reselected, PDC will automatically become active again.
PDC can also be manually selected when not in reverse gear by pressing the PDC switch. A second press of the
switch is required to turn off the PDC or the PDC will be deactivated if reverse is selected and then deselected.
Sensor Operation
The PDC ECU processes the distance readings from the ultrasonic sensors to determine if there are any objects
within the detection areas. If there are no objects in the detection areas, there are no further audible warnings. If an
object is detected, repeated audible warnings are produced on the PDC sounder.
The maximum detection range is 1800 mm (70 in). When an object is detected, the time delay between the audible
warning tones decreases as the distance between the detected object and the vehicle decreases until, at
approximately 450 mm (17 in), the audible warning tone is continuous.
After the initial detection of an object, if there is no decrease in the distance between an object and the central sensors,
the time delay between the audible warnings remains constant. If an object is detected by one of the corner sensors
only, the audible warnings stop after about 5 seconds if there is no change in the distance between the object and the
corner sensor.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM
87-4 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Inputs and Outputs
In addition to the vehicle sensor and the antenna inputs, the navigation computer also receives the following:
lA permanent battery feed from the passenger compartment fusebox, to power the navigation function.
lAn ignition switched battery feed from the passenger compartment fusebox, to power the navigation, radio and
CD functions when the ignition switch is in positions I and II.
lAn illumination power feed for switch illumination and LCD backlighting when the exterior lights are on.
Navigation computer outputs consist of those for the ICE system speakers and to the auxiliary CD autochanger, where
fitted.
Security Code
The navigation computer is programmed with a five digit security code selected from numbers 1 to 7. If the battery or
the navigation computer are disconnected, the code is requested on the LCD the first time the navigation computer
is switched on after reconnection; this also occurs if a different removable panel is fitted.
The code is entered using the appropriate multifunction buttons. The navigation computer automatically starts to
operate when the fifth digit of the correct code is entered. If an incorrect code is entered, CODE is displayed on the
LCD to prompt another entry attempt. If an incorrect code is entered three times in succession, WAIT is displayed on
the LCD and the unit is disabled for approximately 60 minutes. If the navigation computer is switched off, the
remaining disabled time will resume when the power is restored.
Automatic Volume Control (AVC)
The AVC feature automatically increases and decreases the audio volume with increases and decreases of vehicle
road speed. The AVC feature, also known as the GAL setting, uses the vehicle speed signal from the ABS ECU and
can be turned off or adjusted to start at a different vehicle speed. The GAL setting is accessed through the User Menu
and can be set to between 0 and +15, where 0 is off and +1 to +15 progressively increase the vehicle speed at which
AVC starts to operate.

15The navigation computer LCD will default to the CALIBRATION RIDE screen and should show the
CALIBRATION RIDE CAN START message. The GPS data and the road speed counter will also be shown.
16Drive the vehicle over a road route approximating that shown below (it is not necessary to copy the route
exactly). Calibration is complete when the navigation computer LCD switches to show DESTINATION & POI
and the satellite graphic. If all the pre calibration ride conditions were complied with, calibration is typically
achieved within 3 miles (5 km) and usually occurs when the vehicle returns to the start point. However,
calibration may be achieved earlier in the journey and, if it is, there is no need to complete the remainder of the
calibration route.

INSTRUMENTS
88-8 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Tachometer
The tachometer is an integral part of the instrument pack. Located next to the speedometer. it displays engine speed
in revolutions per minute. It is an analogue gauge with a maximum reading of 6000 rev/min.
V8 and diesel variants use the same gauge.
The input for the tachometer is from the ECM. It is a digital signal at 2 pulses per engine revolution. When the ignition
is switched on with the engine not running, the ECM will generates pulses equivalent to 228 rev/min for diagnostic
purposes. The tachometer will not register a reading, as it only indicate engine speeds above 228 rev/min.

INSTRUMENTS
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-9
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge is an analogue gauge that indicates the level of fuel in the fuel tank with the ignition on. The fuel gauge
returns to 0 with ignition off. The gauge reading is proportional to the level of fuel in the tank. It is a damped action
gauge to prevent erroneous readings caused by fuel moving in the tank. The damping action is minimised when the
ignition is switched on to give an accurate reading within 2.5 seconds.
The signal input for the fuel gauge is from the tank sender unit, it is a variable voltage signal proportional to the level
of fuel in the tank. The instrument pack provides the power via fuse 27 to the fuel gauge, then from the gauge on to
the fuel tank sender unit. The earth path return circuit of the sender unit is connected to the instrument pack.
A low fuel level signal is provided for the ECM when the sender resistance is greater than 158
±8 ohms, this is used
to create a fault code indicating low fuel level during misfire diagnosis using TestBook.

INSTRUMENTS
88-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)/ SERVICE ENGINE SOON warning lamp
The MIL/service engine soon warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. If
an emission related fault is detected by the engine management system or, on automatic gearbox models, the EAT
ECU, the ECM will illuminate the LED providing the driver with a visible warning.
The warning lamp will illuminate whenever the vehicle is driven until the fault is repaired, and the ECM fault code
memory is cleared using TestBook.
When the ignition is switch on the ECM carries out a self-test function of the lamp. The lamp will illuminate for 3
seconds then extinguish if no faults exist. If a fault is present the lamp will be extinguished for 1 second before
illuminating again to indicate a fault exists.
There are two configurations of the legend for the warning lamp:
lNAS and Canada = SERVICE ENGINE SOON text.
lAll other markets = MIL SAE J1930 symbol.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The ECM provides a voltage to the
instrument pack Central Processing Unit (CPU) to control the warning lamp:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.
