STARTING AND DRIVING

Releasing
• With the ignition on, apply the foot brake and press down on the parking brake switch.
• If the vehicle is stationary with the parking brake applied and either D or R selected, pressing the accelerator will automatically release the parking brake.
Electric parking brake See page 2, item 28
Applying
• With the vehicle stationary, lift up the parking brake switch and then release it. The red warning lamp in the instrument panel will illuminate.
Cruise control override
Cruise control disengages when brakes are applied or when speed is below 18 mph (30 km/h). Cruise control will cancel if the accelerator is used for more than 5 minutes.
Auto headlamps and High beam assist See page 2, item 5
1. When AUTO is selected with the rotary control, side lamps and headlamps will turn on automatically as ambient light fades. With the control in the low beam position, High beam assist will activate automatically when ambient light falls below a pre set level. Vehicle speed must be above 25 mph (40 km/h). To override High beam assist and select low beam, pull the lighting control backwards to the flash position and release. To reinstate High beam assist, push the lighting control forward to the high beam position, then back to low beam position.
Courtesy delay
2. 3, 4. The headlamps can be set to temporarily light the way ahead when exiting the vehicle at night. Rotate the control for exit delay periods of 30 seconds, 60 seconds or 120 seconds.
Cruise control and ASL See page 2, item 39
Setting cruise control speed
1. Accelerate to the desired speed then press to set and maintain the cruise speed. This can also be used to increase speed while cruise control is operating.
2. Resumes the set speed after cruise control has been suspended.
3. Press to decrease the set speed.
4. Suspends cruise control but retains current set speed in memory.
5. ASL on/off. The Automatic speed limiter button switches between cruise control and ASL.
Intelligent stop/start See page 2, item 26
Intelligent stop/start is automatically activated when the ignition is turned on. If the vehicle is stopped and the brake is applied, the engine will turn off (unless it is required to support other vehicle systems). When the brake is released and a drive gear is selected the engine will restart.
A warning lamp on the instrument panel will illuminate while the engine is switched off by Intelligent stop/start.
Press the Intelligent stop/start switch to turn off or on.
Note: The engine will restart automatically if the switch is pressed while an automatic engine stop is in progress.
When the ignition is turned off and on again, Intelligent stop/start will be reinstated.
Gear shift paddles See page 2, items 6 and 10
If shift paddles are used with D selected, the transmission will revert to automatic mode if use of the paddles is not maintained. With S selected, manual operation is maintained until D is selected again.
1. To shift down a gear, briefly pull the left paddle.
2. To shift up a gear, briefly pull the right paddle.
3. To exit manual gear shift mode, pull and hold the right paddle for one second. This will return the transmission to automatic operation in D.
Setting an ASL speed limit
With ASL selected, a maximum speed can be set. The engine will respond normally up to that speed but further accelerator pressure will not allow the set speed to be exceeded. Kickdown use will over-ride the ASL setting allowing a higher speed to be reached. When kickdown is used, ASL is cancelled.
1. Press to set a maximum speed. A higher maximum speed can be set at any time.
2. Resumes ASL assistance after a suspension.
3. Press to decrease the speed limit.
4. Suspends ASL assistance
5. ASL on/off. The Automatic speed limiter button switches between cruise control and ASL.
Note: The set speed will be displayed in the Message center.
Deployable rear spoiler See page 2, item 27
The spoiler will raise automatically when speed reaches 60 mph (96 km/h) and close when speed drops below 40 mph (64 km/h).
Press and release the button to raise the spoiler manually at speeds below 60 mph (96 km/h).
Press and hold the button to lower the spoiler.
Note: If the spoiler is left partially lowered, press and release the button to fully raise the spoiler before lowering.
