Activating the system
To activate voice control, press the voice
button on the steering wheel. A tone will be
heard and LISTENING will be displayed in the
message centre, to indicate that the system is
now waiting for a voice command.
Note: It is only necessary to press the voice
button at the beginning of each voice session.
Language and accent
Voice feedback is give n in the same language
as is set for Voice recognition. For example, if
the Voice recognition language is set to UK
English, the system wi ll not recognise other
languages (e.g. US English). The language for
the system can be changed using the
touch-screen as follows:
1. From the Home menu, select Comms.
2. From the Comms menu, select Voice and
then select Settings.
3. Select Change, then select the desired
language from the options available. Note:
Changing the Voice recognition language
will not affect the language settings for the
touch-screen.
Giving a command
Note: If background noise is excessive (e.g.
driving with windows open), the voice system
may not recognise a given voice command.
Press and release the Voice button on the
steering wheel and, after the tone, say one of
the commands listed later in this section, or
one of the commands given in either the
Telephone voice section or the Navigation
voice section, as appropriate. See TELEPHONE
VOICE CONTROL (page 323). SeeUSING
VOICE CONTROL (page 373).
Note: Always wait until the tone finishes
sounding before giving a voice command.
Give commands while facing forwards, in a
natural speaking voice as if talking to a
passenger or on the phon e. Most accents are
understood without difficul ty, but if the system
does not recognise the command, the system
will respond with SORRY and allow two more
attempts to say the command.
The system will repe at the command (as
understood by the system ) back to you as
confirmation. The comma nd will then be acted
on or the system will ask for further
information - always wait until after the tone
has sounded before speaking.
Once you are familiar with system requests, it
is possible to skip to the end of the request (to
when the tone sounds) to give your response.
To achieve this, briefly press and release the
voice button on the steering wheel during the
system request.
Note: If the Voice button on the steering wheel
is pressed before the system is ready to receive
a command, VOICE NOT READY will be
displayed in the message centre.

DIRECTION INDICATORS
The direction indicators are operated using the
indicator stalk. Move the stalk up or down, to
indicate a right or left turn. A green warning
indicator will flash in the instrument panel.
The indicators will operate three times (e.g. to
indicate a lane change) if the stalk is briefly
pushed up or down. Lane change flash can be
disabled or enabled by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Note: Should a direction indicator bulb fail, the
corresponding green warning indicator will
flash at twice the normal rate and the audible
ticking will sound at twice the normal rate.
HEADLAMPS - DRIVING ABROAD
Note: The headlamps must be removed in
order to change the beam pattern.
See REMOVING A HEADLAMP (page 81).
The tourist lever allows you to adjust the
headlamps to the correct beam pattern for
driving in countries wher e vehicles drive on the
left, or the right.
When new, the lever will be set to the correct
position for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. To change the pattern for driving on the
other side of the road, move the lever to the
opposite position.
Note: When changing the beam pattern using
the lever, ensure that you change the lever
position on both headlamps.

HEADLAMP LEVELLING
Halogen headlamps
Use the headlamp levelling control to account
for vehicle loading changes.
Xenon headlamps
Headlamp levelling is adjusted automatically if
Xenon headlamps are fitted, to account for
vehicle load conditions, to avoid dazzling
oncoming drivers.
CORNERING OR STATIC BENDING
LAMPS
Cornering or static bending lamps are angled
outwards from the centre line of the vehicle.
These lamps broaden the beam of the
headlamps when cornering during normal
night driving.
1. Light spread of a vehicle not fitted with
static bending lamps.
2. Light spread of a vehicle fitted with static
bending lamps
The system switches on the lamp if it has
received an input from the vehicle's direction
indicator. Only the lamp on the same side as
the operating direction indicator illuminates.
The system only operate s with the ignition
switched on.

BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle. Th e system uses a radar
on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicl e/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stati onary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
The radar monitors the ar ea extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 7
metres (23 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at greater
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward drive gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
WARNINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style
and use of the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
It remains the driver's re sponsibility to detect
other vehicles, and their relative distance and
speed, when deciding whet her or not it is safe
to change lanes.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate wa rning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are be ing overtaken rapidly.
The radar sensors may be impaired
by rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the sy stem's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object wi thin the blind spot. In
such conditions, take extra care when
changing lanes.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.
E96410

Windows and mirrors
98

BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph) and also when the electrical
connector for the trailer socket is plugged in on
vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket.
When in these conditions, an amber warning
indicator within the exterior mirror is
displayed.Sensor blockage
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM sensor blocked appears in the
message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
time travelling above th is speed, to determine
that the sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
System fault
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warn ing indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM not available is displayed in the
message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
