Tachometer
Indicates engine spee d in revolutions per
minute (RPM) x 1000.
Temperature gauge
If the pointer moves onto the red line and the
red warning indicator illu minates severe engine
damage can occur.
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.
Note: If engine temperatur e rises to the point
where overheating may occur, there may be a
noticeable reduction in engine power, and the
air conditioning may cease operation. This is a
normal operating strate gy to reduce load on
the engine and assist with cooling.
Fuel gauge
Once the fuel level has dropped to the point
where the range is approximately 80 km (50
miles) the low fuel warning indicator will
illuminate.
As a reminder for the location of the fuel filler,
there is an arrow next to the fuel pump symbol
which points to the releva nt side of the vehicle.
Speedometer
Indicates road speed. Odometer
Indicates the total distance which the vehicle
has travelled.
Trip recorder
Indicates the distance travelled since the last
reset, and can be used to measure the distance
of individual journeys.
Trip recorder reset button
Resets the distance shown on the trip recorder
to zero.
Note: Once the trip recorder has been reset to
zero, the previously recorded distance will be
lost.
Gear selector mode and positiondisplay
Displays the currently selected gear on
vehicle's fitted with automatic transmission.
Main message centre
Displays warning, and information messages.
See INFORMATION MESSAGES (page 99).
Warning indicator panel (fitted in place of
main message centre)
If a main message centre is not fitted, the
warning indicator pane l will provide system
status information.
Warning indicator panel
The warning indicator panel will provide
system status information.
CAUTION
Serious engine damage can occur if the
vehicle is driven whilst the engine is
overheating.
CAUTION
Never allow the vehicle to run out of
fuel. The resulting mis-fire may cause
serious damage to the catalytic
convertor.

Note: The amber tell-tale indicators in the
switches will illuminate when the function is
selected.
Economy mode (2)
When selected economy mo de will achieve the
lowest possible temperature without using the
air conditioning system . This reduces power
consumption and impr oves fuel economy.
Air distribution (3)
Rotate the control to set the air distribution to
the required points. Note:
In low temperatures it is advisable to
close the centre face le vel vent, and direct air
flow from the outer face level vents towards the
side windows. This will help to keep the
windows clear of ice.
Note: It is possible to distribute air to two areas
simultaneously. For example; to distribute air
to both the windscreen a nd the foot vents set
the rotary control ( 5) to a point between the
windscreen and foot vent symbols.
Recirculation (7)
When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to maintain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.
Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.

Auto mode (7)
When the Auto function is selected, you have
the opportunity to select a fully automatic
operation, or manually adjust the fan speed and
the direction of air flow. All other adjustments
which are necessary to maintain the
temperature that you have selected are made
automatically by the climate control system.
There are two tell-tale indicators on the Auto
button. The round indicator represents the
blower control, and th e rectangular indicator
the air distribution control. In fully automatic
mode both indicators illuminate, the round
indicator will extinguish if the blower speed is
changed manually, and the rectangular
indicator extinguishes if the air distribution is
changed manually.
To resume fully automatic operation at any
time, press the Auto button.
Recirculation (9)
When selected, the air is recirculated inside the
vehicle. This helps to ma intain a high or low
temperature, and is useful for preventing
fumes from entering the vehicle.
A single brief press will se lect recirculation for
four minutes. The system will then revert to
fresh air intake to prevent misting.
Pressing and holding the button will select
recirculation until it is switched off. This state
is indicated by three flashes of the tell-tale lamp
in the switch.
Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.HEATED WINDOWS AND MIRRORS
The heated windscreen is switched on by
briefly pressing the switch (4).
Note: The operation of the heated mirrors is
fully automatic, and requires no driver
intervention.
AUXILIARY HEATER
Your vehicle may be fitted with an auxiliary
heater which is powered by fuel drawn from the
vehicle's tank. The heater only operates at low
ambient temperatures, and is fully automatic.
When the heater is operating exhaust fumes
from the heater may be visible exiting from the
front underside. This is normal, and not a
cause for concern.
