Single point entry 
 This is a security feature that unlocks only the  
driver’s door, fuel fille  r flap, and tailgate. It  
can be disabled on indi  vidual remote controls  
by unlocking the vehicle then simultaneously  
pressing and holding th  e lock and unlock  
buttons for three sec  onds. The vehicle will  
lock and then unlock in the currently selected  
mode and the hazard wa  rning lights will flash  
twice to confirm the change. 
You can now unlock all doors with a single  
press. Repeating the pr  ocedure will re-enable  
Single point entry.

Heating and ventilation 
Automatic system 
Manual system
These are the primary functions of the heating  
and ventilation syst  em. Dependent upon  
specification, the contro  l panel may differ from  
those shown. 
Air conditioning 
Air conditioning is an in  tegral part of the  
heating and ventilati  on system, providing  
cooled and dehumidifie  d air for occupant  
comfort. The dry airflow is effective in  
preventing misting of windows and is also  
beneficial at low external temperatures. 
Air conditioning is automatically switched on  
and controlled whenever the system is not  
operating in   ECON mode.  Auto mode (Automatic systems) 
Press  AUTO to select automatic  
operation of the system, both LEDs 
in the switch will illuminate. 
The system will adjust the heat  
output, blower speed, air intake and airflow 
distribution to maintain the selected  
temperature(s) and re  duce misting without  
further adjustments.

External water deposits 
The air conditioning   system removes  
moisture from the ai  r and deposits excess  
water beneath the vehicl  e. Puddles may form,  
but this is no cause for concern.

The air distribution and blower controls can be  
operated to override the automatic settings.  
This will extinguish the appropriate LED in the 
AUTO   control. 
Temperature selection (Automatic system) 
Rotate the control   1 to adjust the temperature  
for the respective side of the passenger  
compartment. 
Blower speed (Automatic systems) 
Rotate the blower control   2 to adjust airflow  
through the vents. LEDs will illuminate to  
indicate which of the ei  ght possible speeds is  
currently selected. 
Air distribution contro  l (Automatic systems) 
Press to select the desi  red distribution setting.  
An LED will illumina  te in the switch. 
Front screen and side window vents

Foot level vents 
More than one setting can be  
selected to achieve the desired  
distribution.  Off (Automat

Press to switch the system off. An  
LED will illuminate in the switch to  
show this condition. 
Press again to return the system to its previous  
operating mode. The system will also be  
reactivated by using the   AUTO, blower speed,  
air distribution or   defrost controls. 
Defrost mode (Automatic systems)   Press to remove frost or heavy  
misting from the front screen. The  
system will automatically adjust the 
blower output for maximum clearing, in  
addition the front and rear   screen heaters will  
be activated. 
Press again to switch   off defrost mode. The  
screen heaters will remain on. 
Heated screens  Press to operate. An LED in the  
switch will illuminate whilst 
operating. 
The heaters will automatically  
switch off after a preset interval. 
Air recirculation  Press once to activate air  
recirculation. An LED will illuminate  
in the switch. Press again to return  
to fresh air intake. 
Economy mode  Press to put the system into  
economy mode.   An LED will  
illuminate in the switch to show this  
condition. 
In economy mode air conditioning is switched  
off. This reduces the load on the engine,  
thereby improving fuel consumption. 
Recommended mode 
Select   AUTO as the normal operating mode.  
This will help prevent window misting and 
odours from the climate control system. 
Operating note 
On the automatic system, it is not possible to  
achieve a temperature differential of more 
than 4°C (7°F) betwee  n the left and right.

Tachometer 
Indicates engine spee  d in revolutions per  
minute (x 1 000). In normal driving conditions  
the engine is most fuel efficient between 2 000  
and 3 000 rev/min. 
Temperature gauge 
At normal operating temperature, the pointer is  
positioned midway between the red and blue  
segments of the gauge (the precise position 
will vary according to   climatic conditions). 
If the pointer moves into the red segment and  
the red warning indicator (arrowed)  
illuminates, severe engi  ne damage could occur  
(under these circumstances the air  
conditioning may switch   off and engine  
performance may reduce   to minimise engine  
load). 
If the engine overheats, stop the vehicle as  
soon as safety pe  rmits. Switch the engine off  
and allow it to cool down. If the problem  
reoccurs, seek qualified assistance before  
continuing. 
Fuel gauge  When the ignition is on the pointer quickly rises  
to show the level of fuel in the tank. 
When the amber low fuel warning indicator  
(arrowed) illuminates,   the remaining fuel  
should give a range of   80 km (50 miles). The  
small arrow alongside th  e fuel pump symbol  
indicates the side of   the vehicle on which the  
fuel filler is located. 
Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder 
Indicates the total distance travelled, and also  
shows the most recent individual journey 
distance. 
Trip recorder reset switch 
With the ignition on, press to reset the trip  
recorder back to zero. 
Selected gear display 
Displays the currently selected gear and  
operating mode.
CAUTION 
Never allow your vehicl  e to run out of fuel  
as the resultant misfire may destroy the 
catalytic converter.
