USING BOOSTER CABLES
Note: Before connecti ng booster cables,
ensure that the battery connections on the
disabled vehicle are correct and that all
electrical equipment has been switched off.
1. Connect one end of the positive booster
cable to the positive terminal on the donor
vehicle's battery.
2. Connect the other end of the positive
booster cable to the positive terminal on
the disabled vehicle's battery. 3.
Connect one end of th e negative booster
cable to the earth point of the donor vehicle
that is recommended for jump starting by
the manufacturer.
4. Connect the other end of the negative
booster cable to a suitable earth point on
the disabled vehicle. The earth point
should be at least 0.5 metres (20 inches)
away from the battery and as far as
possible from any fu el or brake pipes.
• Check that all cables are clear of any
moving components and that all four
connections are secure.
5. Start the engine of the donor vehicle, and
allow it to idle for a few minutes.
6. Start the engine of the disabled vehicle.
7. Allow both vehicles to idle for two minutes.
8. Switch off the donor vehicle.
Disconnecting the cables
Note: Do not switch on any electrical
equipment until after th e cables have been
disconnected.
The engine should be running on the
previously disabled ve hicle and the engine
switched off on the donor vehicle. Disconnect
the booster cables in the exact reverse order of
that used for connection.
WARNINGS
Always wear appropriate eye
protection when working with
batteries.
During normal use, batteries emit
explosive hydrogen gas - ensure
sparks and naked lights are kept away
from the luggage compartment.
Do not attempt to start the vehicle if
the electrolyte in the battery is
suspected of being frozen.
Make sure both batt eries are of the 12
volt type and that the booster cables
have insulated clamps and are
approved for use with 12 volt batteries.
Do not disconnect the discharged
battery.
Do not connect posit ive (+) terminals
to negative (-) terminals and ensure
booster cables are kept away from
any moving parts in the engine compartment.
Do not connect a booster cable to the
negative (-) terminal of the battery.
Always connect to the recommended
earthing point.
WARNING
To avoid serious in jury use extreme
caution when removing the booster
cables as the engine will be running
on the previously disabl ed vehicle. This means
that you may be workin g close to components
which are moving at high speed, carry high
voltage, or may be hot.

Wheel changing procedure
1.Ensure that all passengers are in a safe
place, clear of the vehicle.
2. Apply the parking brake and select gear
position P (Park).
3. Ensure that the jack is placed on firm and
level ground.
Observe the instructions printed on the jack.
Use the jack only for lifting the vehicle during
wheel changing and only us e the jack which is
stored in the vehicle.
Before raising the vehi cle slacken but do not
remove the wheel nuts. There are four jacking points on the underside
of the floor. Two indented, triangular indicators
are provided on each sill cover. These indicate
the location for the jack.
The simplest way to correctly locate the jacking
point is to feel along
the sill panel to the
triangular indentation and then fit the jack to
the body, not to the sill panel.
Carefully raise the vehicle by turning the jack
handle. Stop jacking the vehicle when the tyre
just clears the ground. Minimum tyre lift gives
maximum vehicle stability.
Remove the wheel nuts and the wheel.
To remove the centre badge use the plastic
tipped end of the wheel nut wrench handle,
push the centre badge from its housing from
the inside of the wheel.
Push the centre badge into the replacement
wheel. If the temporary use spare wheel is to be
fitted, keep the centre badge safely and fit it to
the repaired full size wheel when it has been
refitted.
Fit the spare wheel and loosely secure with the
wheel nuts.
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle
unless the jack head is fully engaged
in the jacking point.
Ensure that the park brake is applied.
CAUTION
Ensure before raising the vehicle that
the jack is correctly positioned to avoid
any damage to the vehicle sills or sill panels.

9.Unless the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
start the engine.
10. Set the compressor switch to the on ( I)
position.
11. Inflate the tyre to a minimum of 1.9 bar
(26 lbf/in²) and a maximum of 3.5 bar
(51 lbf/in²).
•When pumping the sealant through the
tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to 6
bar (87 lbf/in²). The pressure will drop
again after approximately 30 seconds.
12. During the inflation, switch the
compressor off briefly, to check the tyre
pressure using the gauge mounted on the
compressor.
• It should not take longer than seven
minutes to inflate the tyre. If, after seven
minutes, the tyre has not yet reached
minimum pressure, the tyre should not
be used.
13. Once the tyre has been inflated, switch off
the compressor. If desired, the engine may
be turned off after the compressor has
been turned off.
14. Remove the power connector from the
auxiliary power socket.
15. Remove the inflation hose from the tyre
valve, by unscrewing it as quickly as
possible (count er-clockwise).
16. Replace the inflation hose protective cap
and the tyre valve cap.
17. Do not remove the sealant bottle from the
receiver.
18. Ensure that the tyre repair kit (including
the bottle and receiver caps) are placed
securely in the vehicle. You will need to
use the kit to check the tyre pressure after
approximately 3 km (2 miles), so ensure
they are easily accessible. 19.
Immediately drive the vehicle for
approximately 3 km (2 miles), to allow the
sealant to coat the inner surface of the tyre
and form a seal at the puncture.
Checking the tyre pressure after a repair
1.Drive the vehicle for 3 km (2 miles) then
stop in a safe place. Carry out a visual
examination of the tyres condition.
2. Make sure that the sealant container
section is in its original position.
3. Screw the inflation hos e connector firmly
onto the tyre valve.
4. Read the tyre pressure from the gauge.
5. If the pressure of the sealant filled tyre is
above 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²) adjust the
pressure to the correct value. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
6. Ensure that the compressor switch is in
the off (O ) position and insert the power
cable connector into the auxiliary power
socket.
If the vehicle is in a well ventilated area,
start the engine.
WARNINGS
When driving the vehicle, if you
experience vibr ations, abnormal
steering, or noises, reduce speed
immediately. Drive with extreme caution and
reduced speed, to the first safe place to stop
the vehicle. Visually examine the tyre and
check its pressure. If there are any signs of
damage or deformity to the tyre, or the tyre
pressure is below 1.3 bar (19 lb/in²), do not
continue driving.
Consult a tyre repair centre or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for
advice concerning the replacement of
a tyre after using a tyre repair kit.

7.Switch the compressor to on ( I) and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure.
8. To check the tyre pressure, turn off the
compressor then read the pressure from
the gauge.
9. When the compressor is off, if the tyre
pressure is too high, release the required
amount of pressure using the pressure
relief valve.
10. Once the tyre is inflated to the correct
pressure, switch off the compressor and
remove the power plug from the auxiliary
socket.
•The use of the tyre re pair kit sealant may
lead to error prompts and incorrect
readings of the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring System. Therefore, use the
tyre repair kit pressure gauge to check
and adjust the damaged tyre's inflation
pressure.
11. Unscrew the inflation hose connector from
the tyre valve, replace the tyre valve cap
and the inflation hose connector protective
cap.
12. Ensure that the tyre repair kit is placed
securely in the vehicle.
13. Drive to the nearest tyre repair centre or
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, for a
replacement tyre to be fitted. Ensure that
you make the repair centre aware that the
tyre repair kit has been used before the tyre
is removed.
14. Both the tyre inflation hose, and the sealant
container should be replaced once a new
tyre has been fitted. Only sealant containers which are
completely empty should be
disposed of with normal household
waste. Sealant containe rs which contain some
sealant, and the tyre in flation hose, should be
disposed of by a tyre specialist or your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer, in compliance with
local waste dispos al regulations.
TYRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
Note: Non-approved accessories may interfere
with the system. If this occurs, TYRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM FAULT is displayed in the
message centre.
WARNINGS
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
system is NOT a substitute for
manually checking ty re pressures.
The TPM system only provides a low pressure
warning and does not re-i nflate your tyres.
Tyre pressures should be checked regularly
using an accurate pressure gauge when cold.
Failure to properly maintain your pressures
could increase the risk of tyre failure, with
consequential loss of vehicle control and
personal injury.
The TPM system can NOT register
damage to a tyre. Regularly check the
condition of your tyre s, especially if
the vehicle is driven off-road.
CAUTION
When inflating tyre s, care should be
taken to avoid bend ing or damaging the
TPM system valves. Always ensure correct
alignment of the inflation head to the valve
stem.

TRANSPORTING THE VEHICLE
The recommended method for
recovery/transportation of the vehicle, is on a
transporter or trailer de signed for that purpose.
Ensure that transporta tion is carried out by
suitably qualified persons , and that the vehicle
is secured correctly.
If the vehicle is being tr ansported on a trailer or
vehicle flat-bed transporter, the parking brake
must be applied, the wheels are chocked and
the Emergency Park Re lease (EPR) operated,
to ensure that the transmission remains in N
and does not automatically select P.
Emergency Park Release (EPR)
When recovering your vehicle, it is essential
that the EPR is operated. EPR prevents the
transmission from automatically selecting P,
ensuring that the transmission remains in
neutral ( N). EPR is operated by a lever located
behind a trim panel in the cubby box. Before
activating the EPR, select P, apply the parking
brake and turn the ignition off. 1.
Open the twin cup holder lid.
2. Open the cubby box lid.
3. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, lever the
trim panel upwards (at the point indicated)
to release and remove.
