Wipers and washers
41
WINDSCREEN WASHERS
Some screenwash products are
flammable, do not allow screenwash
to come into contact with sources of
ignition.
Only screenwash products which are
approved for automotive use should be
used, and then only in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
To operate the wash/wipe, press and release
the button on the end of the wiper stalk. The
wipers will perform fi ve normal speed wipes,
followed by a drip wipe (if configured). The
washers will operate during the first two wipes.
If the washers are operated with the wipers
operating at normal or fa st speed, the washer
jets will operate for two wipes and operation of
the wipers will not be affected.
Note: If the button is pressed and held, the
wipers and washers w ill operate at normal
speed until the button is released (or for a
maximum of 10 seconds).
After the button is released, the wipers will
operate for a further three wipes, followed by a
drip wipe (if configured).
TIMED JET FUNCTION
If the timed jet functi on is configured, the
washer jets will only operate on the up stroke
of the wipers.
DRIP WIPE
If the drip wipe function is configured, the
wipers will operate four seconds after a
wash/wipe cycle has finished, to clear any
remaining drips from the windscreen.
HEADLAMP WASHERS
Headlamp power wash operates automatically
with the windscreen wash, and will only
operate if the headlamps are switched on and
there is sufficient washer fluid in the reservoir.
Headlamp wash operates with every fourth
operation of the screen wa shers, provided that
ten minutes have elapsed since the last
operation of the headlamp washers.
Note: The power wash sequence is reset when
the headlamps or the ignition are turned off.
Note: Headlamp power wash is inhibited when
the low washer fluid warning is on.

Warning lamps
51
Warning lampsWARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
RED warning lamps are for primary warnings.
A primary warning must be investigated
immediately, seek qualified assistance if
necessary.
AMBER warning lamps are for secondary
warnings. Some indicate that a vehicle system
is in operation, others i ndicate that the driver
must take action and then seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible
Other warning lamps within the instrument
panel indicate system st atus, such as blue for
main beam and green for direction indicators,
when in operation.
LAMP CHECK
A warning lamp bulb check is initiated when the
ignition system is switched on and lasts for 3
seconds (except for the airbag warning lamp
which will remain on for 6 seconds). If any
warning lamp remains on after this period,
investigate the cause before driving.
Some warning lamps have associated
messages displayed on the message centre.
Note: Not all warning lamps are included in the
check (e.g. high beam headlamps and direction
indicators).
BRAKE (RED)
Do not drive if the message LOW
BRAKE FLUID is disp layed. Check the
brake fluid level and top-up as
necessary. If necessary, seek
qualified assistance before
continuing.
If the warning lamp is on and there are no
associated messages, it means that the parking
brake is on.
If the warning lamp is illuminated and the
message PARK BRAKE ON is displayed, it
means that the parking brake is applied but the
vehicle is moving. Release the parking brake or
stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so.
If the lamp is illuminated and the message
LOW BRAKE FLUID is displayed, loss of
braking in one or both brake circuits may be
imminent. Stop the vehicle gently and check
and top-up the brake fluid reservoir, using the
recommended fluid. If the warning message
remains, do not drive the vehicle until the brake
fault is rectified. Seek qualified assistance
before continuing.
If the lamp illuminates and the message EBD
FAULT is displayed in the message centre, a
fault with the EBD system is indicated. The
braking system will st ill function, but without
EBD assistance.
Have the fault rectified by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer. Illuminates when the ignition is on
and the parking brake is applied
and/or the brake fl
uid is low. The
warning lamp will also illuminate
when there is a fault with the
Electronic Brakefor ce Distribution
(EBD) system.

Brakes
87
BrakesIMPORTANT INFORMATION
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned off.
The engine must be running to provide
full braking assistance. The brakes
will still function wi th the engine off,
but far more pressure will be required
to operate them.
If the red brake warning lamp
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible and
seek qualified assistance.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any other obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
Driving through heavy rain or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly apply the brak es intermittently to
dry the brakes.
BRAKE WARNING LAMPS
Note: This warning lamp will also illuminate if
there is a fault with the parking brake. See 88,
ELECTRIC PARKIN G BRAKE (EPB).
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE
DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
EBD balances the distribution of braking forces
between the wheels on the front and rear axles,
to maintain maximum braking under all vehicle
loading conditions.
For example; Under light loads, EBD applies
less braking effort to the rear wheels, to
maintain stability. Conv ersely, it allows full
braking effort to the rear wheels when the
vehicle is heavily laden.
A fault with the EBD system is indicated by the
red brake warning lamp and the message EBD
FAULT . The braking system will still operate,
but without EBD assist ance. Seek qualified
assistance to have the fault rectified.
EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST (EBA)
The EBA system measures the rate at which the
brake pressure increases. If the system detects
an emergency braki ng situation, EBA
automatically initiates fu ll braking effect. This
can reduce stopping distances in critical
situations.
A fault with the EBA system is indicated by the
brake warning lamp illuminating and
Emergency Brake Assist Not Available
displaying in the message centre. The braking
system will still func tion, but without EBA
assistance. Seek qualified assistance to have
the fault rectified.
EMERGENCY STOP SIGNAL (ESS)
ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) automatically
activates the hazard warning lights during
emergency braking to warn other road users
and reduce the risk of a collision.
If the parking brake
is released and
this red warning lamp illuminates
while driving and/or the message
Brake Fluid Low is displayed in the
message centre, check the brake
fluid level at the earliest
opportunity and top-up as
required.
If this amber warning lamp
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS Fault is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra
caution, avoid heavy braking
where possible, and seek qualified
assistance as soon as possible.
