Parking aidsPARKING AID OPERATION
1. Rear view camera. See 93, REAR VIEW
CAMERA .
2. Parking aid switch: Press to turn the
parking aid on and off.
3. Approximately 600 mm (24 inches).
4. Approximately 800 mm (31 inches).
5. Approximately 1800mm (71 inches).
It remains the driver’s responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle’s distance from them. Some
overhanging objects, barriers, small
children, animals, thin obstructions or
painted surfaces may not be detected
by the system. Systems using the same frequency
band as the front parking sensors, may
cause irregular tones to be emitted.
Note: The sensors are active when the gear
selector is in neutral, and in drive after moving
from reverse. Therefore , if an obstacle is
detected an audible warning tone will sound.
REAR FITTED ACCESSORIES
Particular care must be taken when reversing
with rear fitted accessories, as the rear parking
aid will only indicate the distance from the
bumper to the obstacle.

CLEANING THE SENSORS
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice,
frost and grime.
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive
or sharp objects or materials.
When using a high pressure spray, only
spray the sensors briefly, from a
distance greater than 200 mm
(8 inches).
PARKING AID SYSTEM FAULT
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single, 3
second tone will be heard and a pop-up
warning will appear on the touch screen. If
both front and rear park ing aids are fitted, the
warning indicator in the parking aid switch will
flash for 3 seconds and then switch off.
If a fault is detected, the system is
automatically disabled.
Note: The parking aid may emit spurious tones
if it detects a frequenc y tone using the same
band as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).
REAR VIEW CAMERA
It remains the driver's responsibility
to detect obstacles and estimate the
vehicle's distance from them when
reversing.
When Reverse ( R) is selected, the system uses
a camera to provide a wide-angle colour rear
view image on the touch screen.
The camera display has priority over the
parking aid display. To view the parking aid
display instead, or to cancel camera display at
any time, touch the display.
The display also incorporates graphic overlays,
indicating vehicle di rection, width and
proximity to surrounding objects. The camera image will not be displayed;
•
If Drive ( D) is selected and the vehicle
speed is greater than 16 km/h (10 mph).
• If Drive ( D) is selected for longer than 2
seconds.
A. Solid line: The projec ted wheel trajectory.
B. Dotted line: The safe working width of the
vehicle (including exterior mirrors).
C. Boot access guideline: Do not reverse
beyond this point if boot access is
required.
D. Bumper inclusion.
E. Parking sensor activati on: A coloured area
appears, to indicate which rear sensor(s)
has been activated.

Adaptive cruise controlADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
OVERVIEW
The Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system is
designed to aid the driver to maintain a gap
from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if
there is no slower vehicle ahead. ACC is
available at vehicle sp eeds of 32 to 180 km/h
(20 to 112 mph).
ACC is not a collision warning or
avoidance system. Additionally, ACC
will not react to:
• Stationary or slow moving vehicles below
10 km/h (6 mph).
• Pedestrians or objec ts in the roadway.
• Oncoming vehicles in the same lane.
The ACC system uses a radar sensor, which
projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle
to detect objects ahead.
The radar sensor is mounted in the centre of
the lower bumper, to provide a clear view
forward for the radar beam.
• Only use ACC when conditions are
favourable (i.e. main roads with free
flowing traffic).
• Do not use in poor visibility, specifically
fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.
• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.
• It is the drivers respons ibility to stay alert,
drive safely and be in control of the vehicle
at all times.
• Keep the area in front of the radar sensor
free from dirt, meta l badges or objects,
including vehicle front protectors, which
may prevent the sensor from operating.
• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a
motorway.
USING ACC
1. SET: Roll the thumbwheel upward or
downwards to increase or decrease speed,
until the desired speed is achieved.
2. Gap increase or decrease control. Four
settings are selectable by rolling the
thumbwheel. See 98, CHANGING THE
FOLLOW MODE SET GAP .
3. CANCEL: Cancels but retains the set speed in memory.
4. RESUME : Resumes the ACC set speed
after it has been disengaged.
The system is operated by controls mounted
on the steering wheel. The driver can also
intervene at any time by use of the brake or
accelerator pedals.
Setting the vehicle speed, activating, and
deactivating ACC is done in the same way as
using cruise control.

ACC MALFUNCTION
If a malfunction occurs during operation of the
system in cruise or follow modes, the ACC
system will switch off a nd cannot be used until
the fault is cleared. The message Driver
Intervene appears briefly and is then replaced
by the message Cruise Not Available . If
malfunction of the ACC or any related system
occurs at any other time, the message Cruise
Not Available will be displayed. It will not be
possible to activate the ACC system in any
mode.
Accumulations of dirt, snow or ice on the
sensor or cover may inhibit ACC operation.
Fitting of a vehicle front protector or metallised
badges may also affect ACC operation.
The ACC system relies on its radar to detect
objects and constantly scans ahead. If the
radar is unable to detect any objects ahead,
then ACC will be deactivated, the audible alarm
sounds and the message Driver Intervene
displays briefly. The message ACC Sensor
Blocked will then be displayed.
The same messages may also be displayed
while driving on open ro ads with few objects
for the radar to detect.
Clearing the obstruction fr om in front of the
sensor allows the system to return to normal
operation. If the obstr uction is present when
ACC is inactive (e.g. on initial starting or with
the ACC system switched off), the message
ACC Sensor Blocked will be displayed.
Tyres other than those recommended for your
vehicle, may have different sizes. This can
affect the correct operation of the ACC.
FORWARD ALERT FUNCTION
Limited detect ion and warning of objects
ahead, is provided duri ng ACC operation by the
ACC Forward Alert warning. The enhanced
forward alert feature additionally provides
warnings when ACC is not engaged; if an object
is detected close ahead, then the warning tone
and message will be issu ed. The brakes will not
be applied.
The forward alert system does not initiate any
action. The driver must take appropriate action
when the Forward Alert message is displayed.
However, the system monitors driver actions
(e.g. braking, steering or indicating) and may
not initiate the warning display if the
appropriate action has been taken early
enough.
Press the button to switch Forward alert on or
off.
When the warning lamp in the
instrument panel is on, Forward
alert is active.

The sensitivity of th e warning can only be
adjusted with ACC disengaged. Adjust as
follows:
• Roll the gap adjustment control
downwards to decrease the sensitivity of
the alert.
• Roll the gap adjustment control upwards to
increase the sensitivity of the alert.
Note: The forward alert set gap is retained
when the ignition is switched off.
Forward Alert is displayed in the message
centre.ADVANCED EMERGENCY BRAKE
ASSIST
The system may not react to slow
moving vehicles and will not react to
stationary vehicles or vehicles
travelling in the opposite direction.
Warnings may not appear if the
distance to the vehicle ahead is very
small or if steering wheel or pedal
movements are large (e.g. to avoid a
collision).
The system utilises the same radar
sensor as ACC and Forward alert - the
same limitations of performance
apply.
Advanced emergency brake assist is available
at speeds above approximately 7 km/h (5 mph)
and improves brakin g response during
emergency braking, when a moving vehicle is
detected close ahead.
If the risk of collision increases after the
Forward Alert warning is displayed, advanced
emergency brake assist is activated. The
brakes are automatically applied gently in
preparation for rapid braking (this may be
noticeable). If the brake pedal is then pressed
quickly, full braking is implemented, even if
only light pressure is ap plied to the pedal. See
87, EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA) .
Note: Braking performance will only be
improved if the driver applies the brakes.
Advanced emergency brake assist will function
even if Forward Alert and ACC are switched off.
If there is a fault with the system, Forward
Alert Unavailable is displayed in the message
centre. The vehicle can st ill be driven and the
braking system will still operate, but without
advanced emergency brake assistance. Seek
qualified assistance to have the fault rectified.

INTELLIGENT EMERGENCY BRAKING
The system may not react to slow
moving vehicles.
The system will not react to stationary
vehicles, or vehicles that are not
travelling in the same direction as
your vehicle.
Warnings and automatic braking may
not occur if the dist ance to the vehicle
ahead is very small, or if the steering
wheel and pedal movements are large
(to avoid a collis ion for example).
IEB (Intelligent Em ergency Braking)
uses the same radar sensor as
Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward
Alert. The same performance
limitations apply, see 96, ADAPTIVE
CRUISE CONTROL OVERVIEW.
IEB is available at all speeds to automatically
apply the brakes if an unavoidable collision
with a moving vehicle in front is detected.
If there is an imminent risk of collision, an
audible warning is given. If the collision then
becomes unavoidable, the IEB system applies
the brakes at up to maximum pressure. After
IEB has activated, IEB System Was Activated
is displayed in the message centre and the
system is inhibited from further operation until
reset by a Dealer/Authorised Repairer.
IEB will function even if Forward Alert and ACC
are switched off. If the radar sensor is blocked,
by snow or heavy rain for example, or there is
a fault with the system, IEB Not Available is
displayed in the message centre. The vehicle
can still be driven and the braking system will
still operate, but without IEB. If the cause of
this message being disp layed is thought to be
other than a blocked rada r sensor, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Navigation system
134
Navigation systemTHE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Navigation instruction is by map and turn
information displayed on the touch screen and
can be complemented by voice guidance if
required. The system uses signals from Global
Positioning System (GPS) satellites combined
with information from vehicle sensors and
from data stored on the hard drive, to establish
the true vehicle position.
Note: Mapping data loaded on the hard drive is
relevant to the market in which the vehicle is
first sold and will provide guidance and
information only for that area. Your local Dealer
will have details of software updates.
Using this combination of data sources the
vehicle navigation com puter enables you to
plan and follow a route map to your desired
destination.
The touch screen is used to control navigation
via menus, text screens and map displays.
Operate the system only when it is
safe to do so.
The requirements of na tional Road Traffic
Regulations always apply.
Observation of traffic signs and local traffic
regulations always take priority.
The navigation system serves solely as an aid
to navigation. In part icular, the navigation
system cannot be used as an aid to orientation
when visibility is poor.
GPS signals may occasion ally be interrupted
due to physical barriers such as tunnels and
roads under raised highways.
However, direction and speed sensors on the
vehicle will minimise any adverse effect on the
navigation system. Normal operation will
resume once the obstruc tion has been passed. Under certain conditions it is possible for the
vehicle position show
n on screen to be
incorrect. This may happen when:
• Driving on a spiral ramp in a building.
• Driving on or beneath elevated roads.
• Two roads are close and parallel.
• The vehicle is transported to another
destination.
• After the vehicle is rotated on a turntable.
• After vehicle batte ry disconnection.
USING THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
1. NAV shortcut button.
2. Navigation soft key.
From the Home menu touch the Navigation
soft key. Alternatively, press the NAV shortcut
button on the facia. A caution screen will be
displayed.
If the navigation screen language has not been
set, now is the time to set it. Select Language,
make a selection and confirm it by touching the
OK soft key. You will be returned to the
CAUTION screen.
After touching the Agree soft key, the touch
screen will display the Nav menu (which is the
navigation system Ma in menu and covered
over two screens) or the screen that was in use
when you last switched off the system.

After a collision
198
After a collisionBEFORE STARTING OR DRIVING
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.
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
The bumper includes sensors that detect a
collision with a pedestrian and includes energy
absorbing foam and plastics in its
construction, to re duce leg injuries.
During a pedestrian co llision, the sensors
initiate a bonnet deploy ment system that
releases the bonnet hinge system and raises
the rear edge of the bonnet by approximately
130 mm (5.1 inches).
This increases the gap between the bonnet and
the components within the engine
compartment to create a cushion to mitigate
injury caused to the pedestrian.
The bonnet deployment system is active only
when the ignition is on and the vehicle is driven
between the speeds of approximately 20 km/h
(12 mph) and 45 km/h (28 mph).
AFTER DEPLOYMENT OF THE
PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION SYSTEM
Do not attempt to open the bonnet if the
pedestrian protection system has been
deployed.
The vehicle must be stopped as soon as it is
safe to do so.
The hazard warning lamp s will be activated and
can only be switched off by pressing the engine
START/STOP button to turn the engine off and
on again.
A warning message CHECK PEDESTRIAN
SYSTEM will appear on the message centre
and the vehicle should be transported to the
nearest Dealer/Author ised Repairer. The
vehicle must not be driven when the bonnet
has been deployed.
Note: If the warning message CHECK
PEDESTRIAN SYSTEM appears in the message
centre when the bonnet ha s not been deployed,
the vehicle should be taken to the nearest
Dealer/Authorised Repairer immediately. It can
be driven.
If any significant damage occurs to the front
bumper it should be inspected by a
Dealer/Authorised Repairer as soon as
possible.
