Door Mirrors
Both door mirrors are adjusted from the
driver’s door switchpack.
The four-way adjustment button (A)
moves the mirrors to the required
position. The selector switch ( B) selects
the mirror to be moved, left for the
left-hand side mirror and right for the
right-hand side mirror. When the selector
switch is in the centre position,
adjustment to either mirror is inhibited.
The mirror housings are designed to pivot
against the vehicle upon impact.
To return the mirror to its normal
position, manually re position the housing
until it locks into place.
At night, the approach lamps in the door
mirrors also switch on automatically
when reverse is selected.
Mirror heating
The door mirrors have heating elements
which work when the rear screen heater
is switched ON. The mirror heater will
clear all ice from the mirror surface.
Caution: Do not use a scraper to
remove ice from the mirrors as this
will damage the surface. Door mirrors – power foldback

Exterior Lighting
Master Lighting Rotary Switch
Positions
• OFF.
• Side (parking) lights.
• Headlights.
• Autolamps/exit delay.
!WARNING:
It is an offence in certain countries to
obscure front and rear lights,
direction indicators and reflectors. The exterior lights ar
e controlled by the
left-hand column stalk switch.
The rotary collar on the stalk has three
positions for turning th e exterior lights on
or off and positions for autolamps/exit
delay. These are:
OFF – All exterior lights OFF (except
vehicles provided with daylight running
lights).
Sidelights – Switches on front sidelights,
tail, number plate an d any other marker
lights required by local legislation.
When the external lights are ON the
instruments will also be lit.
Headlights – With the ignition in
position ‘II’, this position switches on
dipped headlights in addition to the lights
switched on in sidelight position.
The left-hand column stalk switch has
two positions for controlling the main
beam.
Pulling the switch towards the steering
wheel and releasing causes the main
beam to flash on and off. The main beam
can be flashed at any time when the
switch is pulled and will remain ON for
as long as the switch is held. The second position is to switch main
beam headlights ON. With the ignition in
position ‘II’, first select dipped beam
lights, and then push the column light
switch away from the steering wheel.
The blue warning light on the instrument
cluster and main be
am headlights will
come ON.
To turn main beam OFF, pull the column
switch towards the steering wheel to
return to dipped beam.
Note: If dipped beam is switched OFF
with main beam stil l activated, both
dipped and main beam will be
extinguished. Both dipped and main
beam will illuminate if dipped is turned on
again.
Autolamps – A light sensor control,
mounted on the front of the fascia,
monitors exterior light levels and
automatically switches the sidelights and
dipped headlights ON or OFF.
The ignition switch must be in
position ‘II’ and AUTO selected on the
stalk switch for full automatic light
operation.
When light fades towards dusk,
the sidelights and headlights will switch
ON automatically and the sidelight
warning light in the instrument cluster
will illuminate.

4-24 On the Road
At dawn, as light increases, the sidelights
and headlights switch OFF automatically.
Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstructing the light in
this area of the sensor may lead to
unwanted operation of the sidelights and
headlights.
Note:If the windscreen wipers are
switched on in auto, slow or fast modes
for more than 20 seconds then the
exterior lights will be switched on,
if selected to autolamps mode. The lights
will switch off 2 minutes after the wipers
are switched off or will go off straight
away if autolamps is deselected or the
ignition is turned off.
Exit delay
When parking the car at night, if the
headlights were switched on then they
will remain on for a short period after the
key has been removed from the ignition
switch. This is to give a clearly lit area for
occupants leaving the vehicle.
If the light switch rotary collar is in the
AUTO position there will be no exit delay
and the headlights will turn off when the
light switch is turned off. Three settings on the rotary collar set the
time that the lights will remain on after
the key is removed from the ignition
switch;
•10seconds.
•30seconds.
•2minutes.
Note:
The key must not be in the ignition
switch for this feature to operate.
The message centre shows the delay
setting or when this feature is turned off.
Headlight convenience
When approaching the vehicle,
the sidelights and headlights can be
switched on by pressing the headlight
button on the re mote transmitter.
The lights will come on for 25 seconds or
can be switched off by pressing the
remote transmitte r headlight button
again. Daylight running lights
In certain countries it is a legal
requirement for the lights to be on during
the hours of daylight.
With the rotary co
llar in the OFF
position, dipped headlights, sidelights,
tail lights, number plate lights and side
marker lights will switch on automatically
with the following conditions:
• The ignition is turned to position ‘II’.
• The vehicle gear se lector out of park.
• The parkbrake is not applied (released).

On the Road 4 - 35
Park Distance Control
Caution: It remains the driver’s
responsibility to detect obstacles and
estimate the car’s distance from
them. Some overhanging objects,
barriers, thin obstructions or painted
surfaces which could possibly cause
damage to the vehicle may not be
detected by the system. Always be
vigilant when reversing.
Park distance control is always
automatically switched on when the
ignition is turned on.
Caution:
1. If, for example, you are driving into a confined space such as a
home garage, the outer sensors
will detect the side walls and after
3 seconds will switch the tone off.
However, as movement
continues, the inner sensors will
eventually detect the rear wall
and will start the tone again.
2. The sensors are not active when the gear selector is in neutral,
therefore, take care if moving the
vehicle as the tone will not be
heard.
3. Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects. Note:
1. For reliable operation, the sensors in
the front (if fitted) and rear bumpers
should be kept free from frost, ice and
grime.
2. When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be sprayed briefly
and at least 8 inches (20 cm) distance
from the sensors.
3. The front parking aid may sound spurious tones if it detects a frequency
tone using the same band as the
sensors.
Rear Park Distance Control
When reverse gear is selected and
ignition is on, rear park distance control
automatically provides an audible
proximity warning (to the nearest
detected obstacle) when reversing the
vehicle if obstacles are detected within
the operating range, shown in the
illustration above (between
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] ( A) and
63 inches [160 cm] ( B).

On the Road 4 - 43
To Stop the Engine and Lock
the Steering
Turn the key from position ‘II’ to the
‘lock’ position ‘0’. This turns off the
ignition and stops the engine.
The steering will be locked when the key
is removed from the switch.
Leaving the key in position ‘I’ or ‘II’ will
discharge the battery.
Automatic Transmission
The ‘J’-gate gear selector lever is designed
to accommodate two different driving
techniques as follows:
• Automatic selection – the right-hand side of the selector gate.
• Manual selection – the left-hand side of the selector gate to individually
select 5th, 4th, 3rd, or 2nd gear.
Gearshift Interlock
A brake pedal/gearshift interlock system
is incorporated in the automatic gear
selector mechanism.
To move the gear selector from Park:
1. Turn the ignition key to position ‘II’ or start the engine.
2. Press the brake pedal.
3. Move the lever from Park.
Gear Selector Positions
!WARNING:
The parkbrake or brake pedal must
be applied before selecting forward
or reverse drive from a stationary
position.
P = Park – Use when parking. In this
position the transmission is locked.
Do not select if the vehicle is moving.
N = Neutral – Disconnects the driveline
from the engine. Use the parkbrake when
stopping temporarily.

4-60 On the Road
Use of Headlamps In Daylight
When visibility is poor the headlamps
with dipped beam setting should be
switched on so that the vehicle may be
seen more easily by other road users.
The instrument illumination dimmer
control adjusts the brightness of the panel
lighting.
Engine Oil Consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is
normal. The rate of consumption will
depend on the following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• The amount of oxidation and dilution of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which the engine is being operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engine is new,
and after running-in if high speeds are
sustained.
Winter Driving
Freeing a frozen door lock
Caution: Do not ap ply a proprietary
lock de-icer through the keyhole.
Should the lock beco me frozen, warm the
end of the key before use.
Windscreen wiper blades
Before driving away, clear any ice from
the windscreen and check that the wiper
blades are free. Switching on the heated
screen will accelerate this process.
The heated wiper park, if fitted, will come
on automatically.
Frost precautions
The correct concentration of coolant
must be maintained at all times when
‘topping up’ or ‘refilling’ the cooling
system.
Parking the Vehicle
When leaving the vehicle, remember the
following:
• Whenever the vehicle is being parked, apply the parkbrake and move the
gear selector to Park ‘P’.
• Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle unattended.
• Do not leave luggage or valuables on view. Always take your valuables with
you or lock them in the luggage
compartment.
• Remove the ignition key and spare keys, even when the vehicle is in your
garage.
• When the vehicle is unoccupied, close
all windows and lock all doors
securely.
• Park the vehicle where it can be seen. At night, park in a well-lit area.
• Ensure that the keys and the key transmitters are removed from the
vehicle before locking the doors,
and that all doors, the luggage
compartment and the hood are
closed.
