Tyre pressure warning with speed
If the vehicle is to be driven at speeds in excess
of 160 km/h (100 mph), the tyre pressures
should be increased as stated in this handbook
or on the placard label. Failure to increase the
tyre pressures and driving in excess of
160 km/h (100 mph), will illuminate the yellow
warning telltale and display a text message
TYRE PRESSURES LOW FOR SPEED . In the
event of this warning be ing displayed, vehicle
speed should be reduced
Temporary use spare wheel and tyre
change
If the temporary use spare wheel is fitted the
system will automatically recognise the change
in wheel positions. The n after approximately
ten minutes of driv ing above 25 km/h
(18 mph), a message TYRE NOT MONITORED
will be displayed accompanied by illumination
of the warning telltale and the corresponding
block in the vehicle graphic.
The warning telltale will initially flash and will
subsequently revert to continuous illumination.
Extended use of the temporary use spare wheel
will produce an additional text message TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT .
This TPM system display sequence will be
activated at every ignition cycle until the
temporary use spare wheel is replaced by a
fully operational full size wheel and tyre
assembly.
Always replace the temporary use wheel before
having TPM system faults investigated. The
fault may well be rectified with the fitment of a
fully operational full size running tyre in lieu of
the temporary use spare wheel assembly.
Tyre changing
Always have your tyres serviced or changed by
a qualified engineer.
Care must be taken to avoid contact between
the bead of the tyre and the sensor during
removal and refitting of the tyre, otherwise the
sensor may become damaged and or
inoperable.
Sensors can be removed from the wheel by the
unscrewing of the va lve retention nut.
Replacement sensor
Should the sensor require replacing, it should
be carried out by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
A replacement sensor must be fitted to a
running wheel in order to be recognised by the
system. The vehicle needs to be stationary for
15 minutes during the se nsor fitment before
the system is ready to detect the new sensor.
The vehicle must be driven for a minimum of
fifteen minutes after the sensor change, and
then remain stationary for fifteen minutes to
activate full TPM system operation.
If the TPM system warning for any wheel does
not clear, even after ensuring correct inflation
and driving for more than ten minutes above
25 km/h (18 mph), you should seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
CAUTION
Valve stem seal, washer, nut, valve core
and cap should be replaced at every tyre
change. Valve stem seal, washer and nut must
be replaced if valve re tention nut is loosened.
Sensor units and nuts must be refitted using
correct torque figures and associated profile.
Damage to the vehicle may result if these
precautions are not taken.

TYRE GLOSSARY
lbf/in² or psi
Pounds per square inch, an imperial unit of
measure for pressure.
kPa
Kilo Pascal, a metric unit of measure for
pressure.
Cold tyre pressure
The air pressure in a tyre which has been
standing in excess of th ree hours, or driven for
less than 1.6 km (1 mile).
Maximum inflation pressure
The maximum pressure to which the tyre
should be inflated. This pressure is given on
the tyre side wall in lbf/in² (psi) and kPa.

Rim
The metal support for a ty re, or tyre and tube,
upon which the tyre beads are seated.
Bead
The inner edge of a tyre th at is shaped to fit to
the rim and form an air tight seal. The bead is
constructed of steel wires which are wrapped,
or reinforced, by the ply cords.

Status after a collision

DRIVING AFTER A COLLISION
Before starting or driving
If the vehicle has been involved in an accident
it should be checked thoroughly before
attempting to start the engine or drive the
vehicle.
Check for:-
• Fuel leaks.
• Fluid leaks.
• Battery damage.
• Damage to wiring.
• Damage to lights.
• Damage to steering, suspension, wheels
or tyres.
• Sharp or protruding bodywork.
• Operation of doors and locks.
• Condition and operation of seat belts and
SRS components.
• Activation of the pe destrian protection
system.
• Condition of chil d seats and their
mounting/attach ment points.
Note: This list is not exhaustive.
Resetting the fuel cut-off
The fuel system cut-off forms part of the Safety
and Restraint System (SRS) fitted to your
vehicle. Following an impact, and depending on
the severity, the fuel pump may be switched
off.
1.Switch the ignition off, and wait for 10
seconds.
2. Without pressing the brake pedal, press
the engine START/STOP button, to switch
the electrical circuits on. Wait for 30
seconds.
3. Check the vehicle thoroughly for fuel leaks.
If a leak is detected switch the ignition off
immediately.
•The vehicle must not be started if a leak
is present. Seek qualified advice, and
have the vehicle recovered.
4. If no leaks are detected, start the engine.
WARNING
If the vehicle is involved in a collision
it should be checked by a Dealer/
Authorised repairer, or suitably
qualified personnel, before starting or driving.
WARNING
The fuel cut-off should never be reset
if you can smell fuel, or a leak can be
seen. Doing so can lead to a fire
which may cause personal injury or death.

Navigation system

Digitised area
Ensure that you are using the latest version of
the correct DVD for your country.
Note: Your Dealer/Authorised Repairer will
have details of how to order DVD updates.
The navigation DVD provided, contains a
digitised street map. Larger cities and
boroughs are completely covered. The regional
and unclassified roads or access roads and the
town centre for smaller towns and boroughs
are included.
One way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans
and other traffic regula tions are taken into
account as far as pos sible. There may be
discrepancies between the data on the
navigation DVD and the actual local situation,
due to temporary or permanent changes to
road systems and their traffic regulations.
If the vehicle battery ha s been disconnected, or
if the vehicle has been transported to a new
location on another vehicle (e.g. by trailer or
train), the navigation system may require
several minutes to iden tify the new position.
Errors in vehicle position
Under certain driving condi tions, it is possible
that the vehicle pos ition shown may be
incorrect. Some examples are shown below:
• Negotiating circular ramps in car parks.
• Elevated roads in proximity to other roads.
• Where two roads run parallel to each other.
• Driving on steep roads.
• When the vehicle is transported by ferry or
train.
• After the tyres have been replaced.
• When using snow chains.
• After the vehicle has been rotated on a
turntable.
• After vehicle battery removal or supply
fuse failure.
Reception of GPS signals
GPS signals are high ly directional and
reception may occasiona lly be interrupted.
Some examples of situations likely to cause
problems are shown below:
• Inside buildings
• Forest roads between mountains
• Between tall buildings
• Roads under cliffs.
The vehicle’s direction and speed sensors will
minimise any adverse effect on the operation of
the navigation system, if this should occur.
Normal operation will resume once the
obstruction has been passed.
