AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL
Automatic climate control provides efficient
regulation of the vehicle environment, without
constant adjustments from the occupant.
Sensors inside the vehicle monitor
temperature, humidity an d direct sunlight. The
electronic control system automatically adjusts
the heat input, blower speed, air intake and
airflow distribution, to maintain the selected
temperature(s) and re duce misting. The air
conditioning system al so incorporates a
pollen/odour filter, to further increase the
comfort of the vehicle environment.
Automatic operation provides optimum
comfort under most driving conditions. It is recommended that automatic control
(AUTO) is selected as the normal operating
mode.
Automatic control can be overridden at any
time.

Temperature controls
Separate controls allow the driver
and front passenger zone
temperatures to be independently
adjusted. Press the upper (red)
button to increase temperature and the lower
(blue) button to decrease temperature.
Both driver and passenger temperatures are
displayed on the touch-screen.
Selecting the maximum or minimum
temperature settings for the driver temperature
zone, causes the disp lay to change to HI or LO
respectively. This cancels AUTO mode.
To quickly change from HI or LO to a
convenient mid-rang e temperature of 22°C
(72°F), press and hold AUTO for a few
seconds.
Note: The maximum possible temperature
differential between the driver and passenger
settings is 3°C (5.4°F)

any mode, including with
the climate control system off. However, they
will only operate when the engine is running.
The front screen heater switches off
automatically after 5 minutes. The rear screen
heater switches off automatically after 21
minutes.
The screen heaters can be manually deselected
using the push buttons.
In cold ambient conditions, the front and rear
screen heaters will switch on automatically for
the timed period when the engine is started.
The front and rear screen heaters will
automatically come on at temperatures below
5°C (41°F).
Auto mode
Automatic operation utilises
the air conditioning and other
climate controls , to provide a
controlled environment over a
temperature range of 16°C to 28°C (59°F to
83°F) and should be rega rded as the normal
operating mode.
To select automatic climate control press the
AUTO button.

blower only operates at low speed, until the
engine reaches normal operating temperature.
Recirculation
Press to turn recirculation on
or off. The button indicator
illuminates when recirculation
is turned on.
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.
Recirculation may also be selected in AUTO
mode, if the climate control system detects
high levels of pollution in the atmosphere
outside the vehicle (if a smog sensor is fitted).

the air conditioning on.
The air conditioning system is
controlled automatically in AUTO mode to
maintain the desired temperature and humidity
(even if higher temperature settings are
selected).
The air conditioning system is also switched on
automatically in defrost mode ( DEF) in order to
dehumidify the air.
Note: Water may collect unde rneath the vehicle
when parked. This is moisture expelled from
the interior of the vehicle by the air
conditioning system a nd is not cause for
concern.
Heated/climate seats and heated
steering wheel
The heated seats, climate seats and heated
steering wheel can be controlled from both the
Home and Climate menus on the touch-screen.

Maintenance

Weekly checks
•Engine oil level (non- electronic dipstick
vehicles). See ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6
Petrol engines (page 197).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 204).
• Brake fluid level. See BRAKE FLUID
CHECK (page 206).
• Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 208).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 209).
• Tyre pressures and condition. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
• Operate air conditioning. See AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL (page 116).
Note: The engine oil level on V6 petrol engines,
should be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds. The engine oil level on diesel and V8
petrol engines is checked automatically at all
times by the electronic dipstick.
Severe driving conditions
When a vehicle is operated in severe
conditions, more frequent attention must be
paid to servicing requirements.
Severe driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading. •
Driving in extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporati ve control equipment,
designed to meet specific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissi ons, engine performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, it is essential that any dynamometer
testing is carried out only by a qualified person,
familiar with the dynamometer testing and
safety procedures practised by
Dealers/Authorised Repairers.
CAUTION
Ensure that you take notice of any
message centre information and
warnings relating to engi ne oil level (V8 petrol
and diesel engines only). Top-up the level
when advised to do so. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).
