See page 2, item 2, 6 and 16.
Apply the brake pedal, then
rotate the gear selector from
the P position. Maintain
brake pressure until a gear
is selected.
Select P before switching
off the engine. However, if
the engine is switched off
with R, D or S selected, the
selector will automatically
return to P while retracting.
To return to automatic operation, pull and hold the
right (upshift) paddle for 2 seconds or rotate the gear
selector from S to D position.
Operating note
If the engine is switched off with N selected, automatic
selection of P is delayed for 10 minutes. DO NOT use
this feature to enable towing of the vehicle. Refer to
Vehicle recovery in the Owner’s Handbook.
Cruise control and Forward alert
Setting Cruise control speed
1. Use to set the cruise speed or to increase/decrease

3. Press to cancel but retain the set speed in memory.
Cruise control will also cancel if the brake pedal is
pressed or if the vehicle’s speed falls below 18 mph (30
km/h).
Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
This enhancement uses a front mounted radar to monitor
traffic ahead. ACC can be programed to maintain a set
gap to the vehicle ahead. If the vehicle ahead is traveling
slower than the set speed, your vehicle will automatically
slow down and then maintain the set gap until the road
ahead clears. At that point, your vehicle will accelerate to
the set speed.
Auto headlamps and wipers
See page 2, items 1 and 7.
Auto headlamps
1.

When the lighting control
AUTO position is selected,
the side lamps and headlamps will turn on automatically
as ambient light falls below a pre-set level. With the

assist will activate automatically in the absence of other
vehicle lights ahead. The vehicle’s speed must be above
25 mph (40 km/h).

Care point
Before entering an automatic car wash, turn the
wipers off to deactivate the Rain sensor. Otherwise,
the wipers will operate during the washing process
and may be damaged.
Automatic gear selection
Select D for fully automatic gear changes.
Sport mode
When selected, automatic gear change points are
