Stability controlWINTER MODE
Winter mode optimises stability of the vehicle
to suit slippery conditions, when grip is
reduced. This helps the vehicle to perform in a
more gentle and controlled manner, to avoid
skidding, allowing more confident progress
under adverse conditions.
Note: Winter mode cannot be active at the
same time as Dynamic m ode. Winter mode will
remain selected indefinitely, even after the
ignition is switched off. Winter mode must be
deselected if no longer required.
DYNAMIC MODE
Note: When the transmission is set to
permanent manual mode and Dynamic mode is
selected, transmission upshifts are fully
controlled by the driver . The transmission will
not change up automatically, even when the rev
limit is reached (the ge ar position indicator in
the message centre will gl ow amber, to indicate
that the next gear should be selected).
Note: Dynamic mode cannot be active at the
same time as Winter mode. Dynamic mode will
remain selected for approximately six hours
after the ignition is switched off, after which
point it will need to be reselected if required.
TRACDSC
Vehicle safety may be reduced by
inappropriate use of of Trac DSC. Trac
DSC should only be used in suitable
conditions.
Trac DSC is an alternative setting of DSC, with
reduced system interventions. With Trac DSC
engaged, traction may be increased, although
stability may be reduced compared to normal
DSC. Trac DSC is intended for use only on dry
tarmac, by suitably experienced drivers. Trac
DSC should not be selected for other surfaces
or by drivers with insuff icient skill and training
to operate the vehicle safely with Trac DSC
function engaged.
Press to operate. Designed for use
in slippery conditions, when
active, Winter mode selects 2nd
gear for driving away on level
ground (no incline), softens the
responsiveness of the engine and
modifies the gear change strategy.
This helps ensure that optimum
traction is maintained.
Press to operate. Dynamic mode
co-ordinates the vehicle's control
systems to deliver a high
performance driving experience.
This setting enhances key vehicle
systems so that the vehicle's full
potential can be exploited. The
vehicle's responses are aimed at
involving the driver more in
focused and purposeful driving.

CHANGING THE FOLLOW MODE SET
GAP
Four gap settings are available and the selected
gap setting will be displayed on the message
centre when the gap adjustment control is
operated.
Each gap level is indi cated by an additional
chevron in front of the vehicle icon in the
message centre (one chevron (gap level 1)
being the shortest, four chevrons (gap level 4)
being the longest).
Note: When the ignition is switched off, the
gap setting will revert to the default setting
(gap level 3) when switched on again.
Note: It is the driver’s res ponsibility to select a
gap appropriate to the driving conditions.
OVERRIDING THE SPEED AND
FOLLOW MODE
Whenever the driver is overriding the
ACC by depressing the accelerator
pedal, the ACC will not automatically
apply the brakes to maintain
separation from any vehicle ahead.
The set speed and gap can be overridden by
pressing the accelerator pedal when cruising at
constant speed or in follow mode. If the vehicle
is in follow mode, the warning lamp will go out
when the ACC is overridden by the driver using
the accelerator and CRUISE OVERRIDE will be
displayed on the message centre. When the
accelerator is released the ACC function will
operate again and vehicle speed will decrease
to the set speed, or a lower speed if follow
mode is active.
AUTOMATIC LOW SPEED
SWITCH-OFF
If the speed of the vehicle decreases below 30
km/h (18 mph), the ACC system will be
automatically switched off and the warning
lamp will go out.
If the brakes were bei ng applied by the ACC
system, they will be slowly released.
This will be accompanied by an audible
warning, and DRIVER INTERVENE will be
displayed on the message centre. The driver
must take control.
ACC AUTO OFF
ACC will disengage, but not clear the memory
when:
• The CANCEL button is pressed
• The brake pedal is pressed
• Neutral ( N), Park (P ) or Reverse ( R) gear is
selected
• Dynamic Stability Control activates.
ACC will disengage, and clear the memory
when:
• The ignition system is switched off
• Maximum vehicle speed is reached
• A fault occurs in the ACC system.

RDS-TMC OVERVIEW
RDS-TMC (Radio Data System-Traffic
Message Channel) is a feature that announces
traffic hold-ups on your route as broadcast by
radio stations that transmit TMC information.
Touch the TMC button on the Navigation Menu
to access the TMC menu.
TMC events ahead on route can be displayed by
touching the Events ahead soft key. TMC can
be set to display on the map for all events, for
major events or can be switched off. During
route calculation, it can be set to avoid TMC
events along the route.
RDS-TMC DISPLAY
When a TMC signal is received the icon in the
top left of the screen will appear green. If a TMC
signal is not being received, the icon will be
shown with a bar through it.
The system will inform the driver of any
roadworks, narrow road, contraflow,
accidents, slippery road, diversion,
information, parking in formation, congestion
or other hazard.
The driver is informed of a traffic event as
follows:
• A TMC Event icon shown on the map at the
location of the event.
• Text can be displaye d showing the details
of each occurrence which can be selected
either by touching the screen icon or from
the traffic information list.
• Dynamic route guidance, which calculates
an alternative route when the system
receives the traffic event warning affecting
the route currently set in the navigation
system.
• Traffic event list shows all events sorted by
road name/ distance on your selected route
in a straight line or along your actual route.
The information rega rding the hold-up is
maintained and updated even if the vehicle
crosses into another country.

USING TMC
Dynamic route guidance will calculate an
alternative route to avoid a traffic event when
the system receives an event warning.The
system calculates a new route for all sections.
However, if any way points are set, the system
calculates for the next way point.If the event on
route is serious (closed road) or if the new
route is shorter than the current one and the
current one was not recalc ulated within the last
5 minutes, then a message to confirm the new
route will be displayed. This pop-up message
will be displayed for 10 minutes and if the new
route is not rejected, th en the vehicle will follow
the new route.
