Low screen wash
If the low washer fluid warning is on, the
windscreen wipers will not operate when the
wash/wipe is activated, even though there may
be washer fluid remaining in the reservoir
which is sprayed onto the screen. This is to
prevent damage to the wiper blades, scratching
of the glass or smearing dirt across the screen.
Normal, fast or single wipe can be selected
manually, to clear any spray from the
windscreen.
Timed jet function
If the timed jet func tion is configured,
the washer jets will only operate on the
up stroke of the wipers.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Drip wipe
If the drip wipe function is configured,
the wipers will operate four seconds
after a wash wipe cycle has finished, to
clear any remaining drips from the windscreen.
This function can be enabled/disabled by your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
Blocked jets
If a washer jet becomes blocked, use a thin
strand of wire to unblock the jet by inserting
the wire into the jet. Ensure that the wire is
completely remove d after unblocking.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.
CHECKING THE WIPER BLADES
The wiping edge of the blades should be
checked and cleaned periodically. Check the
blade rubber and replace the blade immediately
if cracks, splits or roughness are detected, to
prevent damage to the glass.
Clean the blade edge by wiping with a soft cloth
or sponge, using wa rm soapy water.
If the wipers fail to clear the windscreen when
operated, check the cond ition of the blade and
replace if necessary.
WARNING
Do not operate the washer jets during
adjustment. Windscreen washer fluid
may cause irritation to the eyes and
skin. Always read and observe the washer fluid
manufacturers instructions.
WARNING
Only use cleani ng products which
have been approved for use on
automotive glass and rubber.
Inappropriate products can cause smearing,
and increase glare.

Instruments

Brake - Red
Illuminates when the ignition
system is on and the parking brake
is applied and/or the brake fluid is
low. The indicator will also illuminate when
there is a fault with the Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution (EBD) system.
If the indicator is illu minated and there are no
associated messages, it means that the parking
brake is applied.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
PARK BRAKE ON is displayed, it means that the
parking brake is applied but the vehicle is
moving. Release the parking brake or stop the
vehicle when it is safe to do so.
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
LOW BRAKE FLUID with a red priority lamp is
displayed on the message centre, low brake
fluid is indicated. In this case, loss of braking in
one or both brake circ uits may be imminent.
Stop the vehicle gently and check and top-up
the brake fluid reservoir, using the
recommended fluid. If the warning message
remains, do not drive the vehicle until the brake
fault is rectified. Se ek qualified assistance
before continuing. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
If the indicator is illuminated and the message
EBD FAULT (with red backlight) is displayed in
the message centre, a fault with the EBD
system is indicated. Stop the vehicle gently, as
soon as safety permit s and seek qualified
assistance.
Seat belt - Red
The warning indicator stays
illuminated when the ignition is on
and:
• The driver’s seat be lt is not fastened.
• Or a passenger is sitting in the front seat
and their seat belt is not fastened.
The indicator should extinguish when the
relevant seat belt is fastened.
Beltminder - Red
The beltminder feat ure, which uses
the same indicator as the seat belt
warning, provides reminders to the
driver that the driver’s and/or front passenger’s
seat belt is unbuckled.
If the vehicle is moving at or above 16 km/h (10
mph) and the seat belt of an occupied seat is
not fastened, the warning indicator will flash.
The flashing will last for ten seconds and then
repeat every 30 seconds for approximately five
minutes or until the belt(s ) is fastened or the
vehicle stops.
If the warning indicator stays illuminated with
the seat belt(s) fastened, seek qualified
assistance as s oon as possible. It is safe to
drive the vehicle with th e indicator illuminated,
provided that the seat belt(s) is properly
fastened.
Ensure that all occupants fasten their seat belt
before driving.
Note: If a heavy object is placed on the front
passenger seat, it may activate the Beltminder
feature. It is recommended that the object be
placed in the luggage compartment.
WARNING
If the message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed, check the brake fluid level
and top-up as necessary. Do not drive
the vehicle until the brake fault is rectified.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first
500 km (300 miles) to avoid the need for heavy
braking.
Brake pad wear warning
When the brake pads are wearing low, the
warning message BRAKE PADS LOW is
displayed in the message centre. Arrange for
your vehicle to be se en by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy ra in or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly a pply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra caution, avoid
heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If this red warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or the
message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed in the message centre, check the
brake fluid level at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
ABS optimises tyre to road adhesion under
maximum braking conditions, though it cannot
provide increased cornering ability.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can result in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned
off. The engine must be running to
provide full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the e ngine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of braking distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface (e.g. aquaplaning on water).
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, payi ng particular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.
