WARNING AND INFORMATION
MESSAGES
Most displayed warning messages have an
associated warning indicator, which will
illuminate on to indicate the message priority.
Also from time to time information messages
will be displayed.
If more than one message is active, each is
displayed in turn for two seconds in order of
priority.
Messages take priority over the trip computer
data and will be displayed when the ignition is
on.
Note: The message centre information
messages and their meanings, are detailed
where necessary within the appropriate subject
sections.
Clearing messages from the display
It is possible to temporarily clear certain
warning or information messages from the
message centre.
When a message is displayed in the message

warning triangle icon appears on the
touch-screen, where shown.
Touch the icon to temporarily stop the
currently displayed message from appearing.
Once the message is removed, the colour of
the warning icon in the message centre

safe operation of the vehi cle, cannot be cleared
from the display.
Note: If multiple messages are displayed, this
process can be repeated to remove all
messages from the display.
Removed messages will display again,
whenever the ignition is switched on, until the
fault is rectified (i.e. in this example, when the
washer fluid is topped up).
WARNING
If a warning indicato r is displayed,
stop the vehicle as soon as possible
when it is safe to do so. Do not ignore
critical warning messages. Failure to do so
may result in serious damage to the vehicle.

GARAGE DOOR TRANSCEIVERThe door transceiver is located in the rear-view
mirror. It can be programmed to transmit the
radio frequencies of up to three different
transmitters, which can be used to activate
garage doors, entry ga tes, home lighting,
security systems or other radio frequency
operated devices.
Although this section mainly describes the
procedures for a garage door opener, it also
equally applies to the previously mentioned
applications.
In some countries, this feature is also known
as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see Information and
Assistance later in this section.
Before programming
For best results, fit a new battery to the
hand-held transmitter of the garage door
opener (or other device ) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in
the garage) is equippe d with an antenna,
ensure that the antenna is hanging straight
down.
WARNINGS
Do not use the transceiver with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
When programming the transceiver
to a garage door opener or entry gate,
ensure the area is clear. This will
prevent potential harm or damage as the gate
or garage door will activate during the
programme.
CAUTION
This device may suffer from interference
if operated in the vici nity of a mobile or
fixed station transmitter. This interference is
likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as
well as the in-car transceiver.
E95122
CAUTION
When programming a device that may
require you to press and re-press the
hand-held transmitte r (cycle), unplug the
device during the cycling process to prevent
possible motor failure.
