BATTERY CARE
If battery electrolyte comes into
contact with your eyes, skin, or
clothes you should remove the
affected clothing and flush the
skin/eyes with copious amounts of
water. Seek medical assistance
immediately.
If swallowed, battery electrolyte can
be fatal, seek medical assistance
immediately.
Do not connect any 12 volt equipment
directly to the bat tery terminals.
Doing so may cause a spark, which
can result in an explosion. The cell plugs and vent pipe must be
in place at all tim
es when the battery
is connected to t he vehicle. Ensure
that the vent pipe is clear of
obstructions and not kinked. Failure to
do so may cause a pressure build up in
the battery, resulting in an explosion.
Do not expose the battery to a naked
flame or spark as the battery produces
explosive, flammable gas.
Never jump start (boost), charge, or
try to start a vehicle with a frozen
battery. Doing so can result in an
explosion.
Remove all metal jewellery before
working on, or near, the battery, and
never allow metal tools or vehicle
components to come into contact with
the battery terminals.
Do not allow the battery posts or
terminals to come into contact with
your skin. They contain lead and lead
compounds, which are toxic. Always
wash your hands thoroughly after
handling the battery.
Do not allow battery electrolyte to come
into contact with fabrics or painted
surfaces. If battery electrolyte comes
into contact with any surface, the
surface should be washed down
immediately with copious amounts of
clean water.
Vehicles may be fitted with either a single low
maintenance battery or dual maintenance free
batteries. Both types are located under the floor
of the luggage compartment.
If the vehicle is fitted with a single battery, in
hot climates more fre quent checks of the
battery electrolyte level and condition are
required. If necessary, the battery cells can be
topped up using distilled water.
Do not allow naked flames or other
sources of ignition near the
battery, as the battery may emit
explosive gases.
Ensure that when working near or
handling the battery, suitable eye
protection is worn, to protect the
eyes from acid splashes.
To prevent risk of injury, do not
allow children near the battery.
Be aware that the battery may emit
explosive gases.
The battery contains acid which is
extremely corrosive and toxic.
Consult the handbook for
information, before handling the
battery.

Wheel changingWHEEL CHANGING SAFETY
Before raising the vehicl e, or changing a wheel
ensure that you read, and comply with the
following warnings.
Always find a safe place to stop, off
the highway and aw ay from traffic.
Ensure that the vehicle and jack are
both on firm level ground.
Apply the parking brake, and engage
Park (P).
Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
Ensure that the front wheels are in the
straight ahead position, and engage
the steering lock.
Disconnect trailer/ca ravan from the
vehicle.
Ensure that all passengers, and
animals, are out of the vehicle and in
a safe place away from the highway.
Place a warning triangle at a suitable
distance behind the v ehicle, facing
towards oncoming traffic.
When one rear wheel is lifted off the
ground the selection P (Park) position
will not prevent the vehicle from
moving and possibly slipping off the
jack as the park brake only operates
on the rear wheels. Use the wheel
chock when jacking the vehicle.
Always chock the wheel diagonally
opposite the wheel to be changed,
using the wheel chock supplied in the
tool kit. Chock the front of a front
wheel, or the rear of a rear wheel.
If jacking the vehicle on a slight slope
is unavoidable, place chocks on the
downhill side of the two opposite
wheels. An additional chock will be
needed. Never place anything between the jack
and the ground, or the jack and the
vehicle.
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle
unless the jack head is fully engaged
in the jacking point. Only jack the
vehicle using the approved jacking
points.
Remove the spare wheel prior to
jacking the vehicle, to avoid
destabilising the vehicle when raised.
Take care when lifting the spare
wheel, and removing the punctured
wheel. The wheels are heavy, and can
cause injuries if not handled correctly.
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is support
ed only by a jack.
Do not get under a vehicle that is
supported by a jack.
Never work or allow any person to
place any part of their body beneath
the vehicle with the jack as the only
means of support - use vehicle
support stands.
Take care when loosening the wheel
nuts. The wheel brace may slip off if
not properly attached, and the wheel
nuts may release suddenly. Either
unexpected movement may cause an
injury.
After use, the tool kit should be
returned to the under floor storage
area and correctly stowed.
Always ensure replacement tyres
have the correct rating and
specifications (e.g. load index, size,
speed rating) for your vehicle.

TEMPORARY USE SPARE WHEEL
Observe the following warnings before using
the wheel:
Always adhere to the instructions
given on the temporary use spare
wheel warning label. Failure to
comply can be dangerous.
When a temporary use spare wheel is
fitted, drive with caution and replace
with the specified wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
Do not fit more than one temporary
use spare wheel and ty re assembly at
one time.
The temporary use spare wheel must
be inflated to 4.2 bar (60 psi, 420 kPa)
and cannot be repaired.
Temporary use spare wheel,
maximum speed is 80 km/h (50 mph).
DSC must be on when the temporary
use spare wheel is in use.
LOCKING WHEEL NUTS
Note: A code number is stam ped on the side of
the locking nut. Ensure the number is recorded
on the Security Card supplied with the
literature pack. Quot e this number if a
replacement is require d. Do not keep the
Security Card in the vehicle.
TIGHTENING THE WHEEL NUTS
Using the wheel nut wrench, lightly tighten the
wheel nuts alternately using the sequence
shown in the illustration.
Lower the jack, then tighten the wheel nuts
fully, in the same se quence shown. Do not
overtighten by using foot pressure or extension
bars on the wheel nut wrench.
At the earliest opportunity have the wheel nuts
tightened with a torque wrench to 125 Nm
(92 lb.ft).
This torque must not be exceeded.

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.
