DIRECTION INDICATORS
The direction indicators are operated using the
indicator stalk. Move the stalk up or down, to
indicate a right or left turn. A green warning
indicator will flash in the instrument panel.
The indicators will operate three times (e.g. to
indicate a lane change) if the stalk is briefly
pushed up or down. Lane change flash can be
disabled or enabled by a Dealer/Authorised
Repairer.
Note: Should a direction indicator bulb fail, the
corresponding green warning indicator will
flash at twice the normal rate and the audible
ticking will sound at twice the normal rate.
HEADLAMPS - DRIVING ABROAD
Note: The headlamps must be removed in
order to change the beam pattern.
See REMOVING A HEADLAMP (page 81).
The tourist lever allows you to adjust the
headlamps to the correct beam pattern for
driving in countries wher e vehicles drive on the
left, or the right.
When new, the lever will be set to the correct
position for the country in which the vehicle is
sold. To change the pattern for driving on the
other side of the road, move the lever to the
opposite position.
Note: When changing the beam pattern using
the lever, ensure that you change the lever
position on both headlamps.

Information displays

GENERAL INFORMATION
The driver message centre display is situated
within the instrument panel between the
tachometer and speedometer gauges. The
message centre is active as soon as a door is
opened for access.
The primary function of the message centre is
to inform the driver of the following:
• Warning messages.

• Information messages.
• Turn-by-turn navigation.
The message centre screen is divided into
various zones displaying the following:
1. Gear selection, automatic or manual.
2. Warning messages, accompanied by a red
or amber backlight, if system faults are
detected. Status messages are displayed
to indicate changes in state of certain
vehicle functions (e.g. navigation). When there are no current warning
messages, turn-by-turn navigation
information is displayed, giving
instructions for the next junction. This
facility can be turned off via the
touch-screen. See
TURN-BY-TURN
NAVIGATION (page 339).
The clock can be shown when no other
information is required to be displayed.
See CLOCK (page 124).

electronic engine oil dipstick reading can
also be displayed, when selected using the
trip computer button. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).
