Note: The general location of airbags fitted to
the vehicle are marked by the word AIRBAG.
Always contact your Dealer/Authorised
repairer if:
• An airbag inflates.
• The front or sides of the vehicle are
damaged.
• Any part of the Airbag Supplementary
Restraint System (S RS) shows signs of
cracking or damage, including trim
covering airbags.
AIRBAG OPERATION
For the airbags to operate correctly
the roof lining and door post trims
must be in good condition, correctly
fitted, and free from obstruction. Any
damage, wear, or incorrect fitment
should be referred to your Dealer/
Authorised repairer as soon as
possible for exam ination and repair.
Do not obstruct th e operation of the
airbags by placing any part of their
person or any objects in contact with,
or close to, an airbag module. Only
use approved accessories (e.g. seat
covers).
Ensure that a gap is maintained
between the side of the vehicle, and
the head and torso. This will enable
unobstructed inflation of the curtain,
and seat mounted side airbags.
Airbags inflate at high speeds. To
minimise the risk of injury, ensure
that all vehicle occupants wear
correctly positioned seat belts, sit
correctly in the s eats, and position the
seats as far back as practical. Airbag inflation takes place
instantaneously, and cannot protect
against the effects of secondary
impacts. Under these circumstances
the only protection will be provided by
a correctly worn seat belt.
Phone systems should only be
installed by qualified persons familiar
with the operation of, and
requirements for, vehi
cles fitted with
SRS. If you are in any doubt, seek
advice from your Dealer/Authorised
repairer.
Airbag deployment is de pendent on the rate at
which the passenger compartment changes
velocity following the collision. Circumstances
affecting different collis ions (vehicle speed,
angle of impact, type an d size of object hit,
etc.), vary considerably and will affect the rate
of deceleration accordingly.
The Supplementary Rest raint System (SRS)
components include:-
• SRS warning indicator.
• Rotary coupler.
• Airbag modules.
• Seat belt pre-te nsioners (front seat belts).
• Airbag diagnostic control unit.
• Crash sensors.
• Airbag wiring harnesses.
The SRS is not designed to operate as a result
of:
• Rear impacts.
• Minor front impacts.
• Minor side impacts.
• Heavy braking.
• Driving over bumps and pot holes.
Therefore, it follows that considerable
superficial damage to the vehicle can occur,
without causing the airbags to deploy.

Wipers and washersWIPER OPERATION
1. Rotate control to adjust sensitivity.
•Rain sensor maxi mum sensitivity.
• Rain sensor mini mum sensitivity.
2. Fast speed wipe.
3. Normal speed wipe.
4. Rain sensor activated wipe.
5. Windscreen washer button.
6. Single wipe.
Do not operate the windscreen wipers
on a dry screen.
In freezing or very hot conditions,
ensure that the wipers have not stuck to
the windscreen before operating.
Remove any snow, ice or frost from the
windscreen, around the wiper arms and
blades, and the screen scuttle, before
operating the wipers.
Note: If the wiper blades become stuck or
jammed, an electronic cut-out may temporarily
halt wiper operation. If this happens, switch off
the wipers and the ignition. Clear any
obstructions and free th e wiper blades, before
attempting to switch on the ignition.SPEED-DEPENDENT MODE
If vehicle speed drops below 2 km/h (1.2 mph)
with the wipers operating, the wipers will
switch to the next lowest speed. When vehicle
speed increases to over 8 km/h (5 mph), the
original wiper speed settings are restored.
RAIN SENSOR
Ensure that the wipers are switched off
before entering a car wash. If the rain
sensitive wipers operate during the car
washing process damage may occur to
the wiper mechanism.
The rain sensor is able to detect the presence
and amount of rain, dirt or snow on the
windscreen and automatically activates the
windscreen wipers accordingly. Static droplets
may not be detected on initial start-up, use a
single wipe to clear the screen.
To activate the rain sensitive wipers, move the
wiper stalk to the rain sensor position and
adjust the rain sensor sensitivity control as
required. When rain sensitive wipers are
activated and when sensitivity is increased, a
single wipe will operate.

Blind spot monitoring
46
Blind spot monitoringBLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Moni tor (BSM) system
is a supplement to, not a replacement
for, a safe driving style and use of the
exterior and rear-view mirrors.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate warning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are being overtaken
rapidly.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may al so detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc. The radar sensors may be impaired by
rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the system's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object within the
blind spot.
Ensure that the warning indicators in
the exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle ( 3). The system uses a
radar on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicle/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stat ionary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc. If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an
amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a la ne change might be
dangerous.
The radar monitors the area extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 6
metres (20 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).

Adaptive cruise control
96
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.

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.
