RADIO FREQUENCIES
CAUTIONS
The radio frequency used by your
remote control can also be used by
other short distance radio
transmissions (e.g. amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones,
remote controls and alarm systems). If the
frequencies are jammed, you will not be
able to use your remote control. You can
lock and unlock the doors with the key. Check your vehicle is locked before
leaving it unattended. This will
safeguard against any potential
malicious frequency blocking. Note:
You could unlock the doors if you
press the buttons on the remote control
unintentionally.
The operating range between your remote
control and your vehicle varies depending
on the environment.
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
CONTROL
You can programme a maximum of eight
remote controls to use with your vehicle
(including any supplied with your vehicle).
Programming a new remote
control
1. Insert the key in the ignition.
2. Cycle the key from position 0 to II and
then back to 0 four times within six
seconds.
3. Leave the key in position 0 and press any button on the remote control
within 10 seconds. You will receive
confirmation via a chime or LED that
programming has been successful. Note:
Further remote controls may be
programmed at this stage.
4. Press any button on each additional remote control within 10 seconds of
each other.
Reprogramming the unlocking
function
Note: When you press the unlock button
either all the doors are unlocked or only the
driver ’s door is unlocked. Pressing the unlock
button again unlocks all the doors.
Press and hold the unlock and lock buttons
on the remote key simultaneously for at
least four seconds with the ignition off. The
direction indicators will flash twice to
confirm the change.
To return to the original unlocking function,
repeat the process.

If you switch autowipers on, the wipers will
not cycle until water is detected on the
windscreen. The rain sensor will then
continuously measure the amount of water
on the windscreen and adjust the speed
of the wipers automatically.
Adjust the sensitivity of the rain sensor
using the rotary control. With low
sensitivity, the wipers will operate when
the sensor detects a lot of water on the
windscreen. With high sensitivity, the
wipers will operate if the sensor detects a
small amount of water on the windscreen.
WINDSCREEN WASHERS WARNING
Do not operate the washer for more
than 10 seconds at a time, and never
when the reservoir is empty.
Whilst the lever is pulled towards the
steering wheel the washer will work in

CHANGING THE WIPER
BLADES
Windscreen wiper blades
CAUTIONS
Set the windscreen wipers in the
service position to change the wiper
blades.
You can use the service position in
winter to provide easier access to the
wiper blades for freeing them from
snow and ice. The windscreen wipers will
return to their normal position as soon as
you switch on the ignition so make sure
that the outside of the windscreen is free
from snow and ice before you switch on
the ignition. 54

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Note:
On vehicles with automatic
transmission, the system is active only in S,
D and N.
The system is only active when you exceed
10 km/h (6 mph). The system is
temporarily deactivated when you select
reverse gear.
System detection and alerts
The system will trigger the alert for vehicles
that enter the blind spot zone from the rear
or merge from the side. Vehicles that you
pass, or vehicles that enter the blind spot
zone from the front, will only trigger the
alert after the vehicle has remained in the
blind spot zone for a short period of time.
Note: Vehicles that pass through the blind
zone quickly (typically less than 2 seconds)
will not trigger the alert.
The system consists of two radar sensors
each located behind the rear wheels
hidden behind the bumpers. CAUTIONS
Do not place items such as bumper
stickers in this area.
Repairs to these areas using body filler
will affect the performance of the
system. Detection limitations
There may be certain instances where
vehicles entering and exiting the blind spot
zones may not be detected.
Instances which may cause non-detection:
•
Debris build up on the rear bumper
panels in the area of the sensors.
• Certain manoeuvring of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind zone
at high speed.
• Severe weather conditions.
• Several vehicles passing through the
blind zone following each other closely.
False alerts
Note: False alerts are temporary and will
self correct.
There may be certain instances when the
system will alert with no vehicle present in
the blind zone.
Circumstances where false alerts may
occur:
• Road guardrails.
• Motorway concrete walls.
• Construction areas.
• Sharp turns around a building.
• Bushes and trees.
• Cyclists and motorcyclists.
• Coming to a stop with a vehicle directly
behind but very close.
Turning the system on and off
Note: The on or off position will remain until
manually changed.

safe to do so:
•
Depress the brake pedal lightly and
check that full brake function is

Driving Hints

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTIONS
Use only approved wheel and tyre
sizes. Using other sizes could damage
the vehicle and will make the National
Type Approval invalid. If you change the diameter of the tyres
from that fitted at the factory, the
speedometer may not display the
correct speed. Take the vehicle to your
dealer to have the engine management
system reprogrammed. If you intend to change the size of the
wheels from that fitted at the factory,
check the suitability with your dealer.
Note:
Check your tyre pressures regularly
to optimise fuel economy.
A decal with tyre pressure data is located
in the driver ’s door opening at the B-pillar.
Check and set the tyre pressure at the
ambient temperature in which you are
intending to drive the vehicle and when the
tyres are cold.
CHANGING A ROAD WHEEL
Locking wheel nuts
You can obtain a replacement locking
wheel nut key and replacement locking
wheel nuts from your dealer using the
reference number certificate.
Vehicles with a spare wheel
If the spare wheel is exactly the same type
and size as the other fitted road wheels,
you can replace the existing road wheel
with the spare wheel and continue to drive
in the normal manner.
If the spare wheel is different to the other
road wheels, it will carry a yellow label with
the appropriate speed limit. Refer to the following information before
changing the road wheel. WARNINGS
Drive the shortest possible distances.
Do not fit more than one spare wheel
on your vehicle at any one time.
Do not carry out any tyre repairs on
a spare wheel.
Do not drive through an automatic
car wash.
If you are unsure what type of spare
wheel you have do not exceed 80
km/h (50 mph).
Only fit snow chains to specified
tyres. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
CAUTION
The ground clearance of your vehicle
may be reduced. Take care when
parking next to a kerb.
Note:
Your vehicle may exhibit some
unusual driving characteristics.
Vehicle jack WARNINGS
The vehicle jack supplied with your
vehicle should only be used when
changing a wheel in emergency
situations. Before using the vehicle jack, check
that it is not damaged or deformed
and that the thread is lubricated and
free from foreign matter. Never place anything between the
jack and the ground, or the jack and
the vehicle.
