WINDSCREEN WIPERS
Note: If the wiper blades become stuck or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt wiper operation. If this happens, switch off
the wipers and the ignition. Clear any
obstructions and free th e wiper blades, before
attempting to switch on the ignition.
Wiper operation
1. Windscreen wipers off and parked.
2. Rain sensor activated wipe.
3. Low speed wipe.
4. High speed wipe.
5. Rain sensor sensitivity control.
Rain sensor variable delay
1.Maximum sensitivity.
2. Rotate control to adjust sensitivity.
3. Minimum sensitivity.
With the rain sensor acti vated, the sensitivity of
the rain sensor can be adjusted. Rotate the
control upwards to reduce the sensitivity of the
rain sensor.
Single wipe
Pull the stalk towards the steering wheel for a
single wipe. Holding the sw itch in this position,
operates the wipers at normal speed until the
switch is released.
CAUTIONS
Do not operate the windscreen wipers
on a dry screen. The drag on the wiper
mechanism may cause damage.
In freezing or very hot conditions,
ensure that the wipers have not stuck to
the windscreen before operating. The drag on
the wiper mechanism may cause damage.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from the
windscreen, around the wiper arms and
blades, and the screen scuttle, before
operating the wipers. S now and ice can cause
damage to the wiper mechanism, if left
uncleared.

CHANGING THE WIPER BLADES
Service position
The windscreen wiper service position allows
the wipers to be parked in a more accessible
position. This makes it easier to change wiper
blades.
Setting the service position
1.With the ignition switched off, pull the
wiper stalk towards the steering wheel to
the single wipe position. Hold the stalk in
this position.
2. Make sure the brake pedal is not applied
and, while still holding the wiper stalk in
the single wipe positi on, press the ignition
START/STOP button to switch on the
ignition.
The wipers will move to the vertical (service)
position. Release the wiper stalk.
To return the wiper blades to the operating
position, turn the ignition off.
CAUTIONS
When checking or changing the wiper
blades, they can be set to the service
position or parked normally.

Windows and mirrors

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.

AIR VENTS
1.Air volume adjust.
2. Air direction adjust.
3. Solar sensor.
The rotating air vents acti vate and rotate out of
the fascia when the engine START/STOP
button is pressed, provided the climate system
has not been manually switched off. Adjust the
volume of air usi ng the thumbwheels ( 1) and
the direction of the air using the direction
controls ( 2), to suit your requirements.
It is possible to set the air vents so that they
remain permanently on view, even when the
ignition is switched off. From the touch-screen Climate menu, select
Settings
. Select Vent rotation Always open .
Rear vents
The temperature of the air supplied by the rear
air vents is dependent on the combined
temperature settings for the driver and front
passenger. For example, if the driver
temperature is set to 21°C (70°F) and 20°C
(68°F) for the front passenger, the temperature
of the air supplied to the rear of the vehicle will
be approximately 20.5°C (69°F).

Blower speed
Set the blower speed as required by
adjusting the rotary control.
Press to turn the climate control
system on or off.
When operating in AUTO mode, blower speed
is controlled au tomatically and AUTO is
displayed on the touch-screen. Any adjustment
of the knob will cancel AUTO mode.
Note: In AUTO mode, if heating is required, the
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).
Manual operation of the recirculation control
will override the automatic setting. This facility
can be switched off through the Settings menu
on the touch-screen.
Note: Prolonged use at low temperatures may
cause the windows to mist.
Air conditioning
Press the AUTO button to turn
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.
