Clearing Messages
Messages can be hidden by pressing
RESET on the trip computer switchpack.
One press will hide one message.
Once all messages have been hidden,
the display will show trip data, a further
press will display the odometer reading.
If RESET is pressed again, all active
messages will be ‘re-displayed’.
Repeatedly pressing the RESET button will
cycle through the trip, odometer and
message modes.
If a fault occurs when in trip computer or
odometer mode, the relevant message
will be displayed immediately.
If a trip computer function is selected by
pressing the TRIP button while messages
are displayed, the trip data will be
displayed for 10 seconds, then the
message will reappear.
Note: Hidden messages reappear after an
ignition OFF/ON cycle, if the fault
remains.
Trip Computer
The computer memory stores data for a
journey or series of journeys until it is
reset to zero.
The displayed information is for guidance
only, as it can be affected by traffic, road
and weather conditions.
Two independent memories are available
(A and B) to allow two separate journeys
to be recorded concurrently,
for example, work usage and evening/
weekend usage.
Trip distance, average fuel economy and
average speed will be prefixed A or B
depending on the current memory
selected.
Press the TRIP button on the end of the
left column stalk switch repeatedly to
display the data in the following order:
• Odometer.
•Trip distance.
•Range.
• Current fuel consumption.
• Average fuel economy.
• Average speed.
• Messages.
Odometer
The odometer shows the total vehicle
distance travelled since the vehicle was
new.
When the ignition is switched ON
(position ‘II’) the display shows the
odometer reading unless another trip
computer function was previously
selected or a warning message is
displayed, for example, ‘DOOR OPEN’.
The odometer reading is displayed in
either miles or kilometres, depending on
the units selected with the trip computer.
Trip Distance (A/B)
Distance travelled since the last memory
reset. The maximum trip reading is
9999.9 miles (16, 090 kilometres).
The computer, either A or B, will
automatically reset to zero if this distance
is exceeded.
Range
Predicted distance, kilometres or miles,
that the vehicle should travel on the
remaining fuel, assuming average fuel
economy and fuel consumption stay
constant.

Forward alert
Limited detection and warning of objects
ahead is provided during ACC operation
by the ACC ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’
warning.
The forward alert feature additionally
provides warnings whilst ACC is not
engaged, if an object is detected close
ahead then a warning tone and message
will be issued. The brakes will not be
applied.
This additional feature may be switched
on or off using the forward alert switch in
the lower outboard knee bolster
switchpack. When the indicator lamp in
the switch is on, forward alert is active.The sensitivity of the warning may be
changed:
• Pressing the gap decrease button
when ACC is disengaged displays and
then decreases the sensitivity of the
alert.
• Pressing the gap increase button displays and then increases the
sensitivity of the alert.
Both of these are accompanied by the
FORWARD ALERT message on
the message centre.
ACC failure
If a fault occurs during operation of the
system in cruise or follow modes,
the ACC system will switch OFF and
cannot be used until the fault is cleared.
A red warning light and the message
‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appear briefly, and
are then replaced by an amber warning
light and the message ‘CRUISE NOT
AVAILABLE’.
If failure of the ACC or any related system
occurs at any other time an amber
warning light will be displayed
accompanied by th e message ‘CRUISE
NOT AVAILABLE’. It will not be possible
to activate the ACC system in any mode. Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the
on the sensor or cover may inhibit ACC
operation. Fitting of a vehicle front
protector or metallis
ed badges may also
affect ACC operation.
If this occurs in ACC cruise/follow mode,
the red warning light is displayed,
the audible alarm sounds and the
message ‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ appears
briefly. These warnings are then replaced
by the amber warning light and the
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’ is
displayed. The system is no longer active.
Clearing the obstruction allows the
system to return to normal operation.
If the obstruction is present when ACC is
inactive, e.g. on initial starting or with the
ACC system switched off, the amber
warning light will be displayed with the
message ‘ACC SENSOR BLOCKED’.
Tyres other than those recommended
may have different sizes. This can affect
the correct operation of the ACC.
