Driving your vehicle
Information
The ESC system (if equipped) must be
turned OFF before rocking the vehi-
cle.
If you are still stuck after rocking
the vehicle a few times, have the
vehicle pulled out by a tow vehicle
to avoid engine overheating, pos-
sible damage to the transmission,
and tyre damage. See "Towing" in
chapter 6.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration.
Driving at night
Night driving presents more hazards
than driving in the daylight. Here are
some important tips to remember:
Slow down and keep more dis-
tance between you and other vehi-
cles, as it may be more difficult to
see at night, especially in areas
where there may not be any street
lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other drivers' head-
lamps.
Keep your headlamps clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or improperly
aimed headlamps will make it
much more difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the head-
lamps of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness.
Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous. Here are a few things to
consider when driving in the rain or
on slick pavement:
Slow down and allow extra following
distance. A heavy rainfall makes it
harder to see and increases the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle.
Turn OFF your Cruise Control (if
equipped).
Replace your windscreen wiper
blades when they show signs of
streaking or missing areas on the
windscreen.
Be sure your tyres have enough
tread. If your tyres do not have
enough tread, making a quick stop
on wet pavement can cause a skid
and possibly lead to an accident.
See "Tyre Tread" in chapter 7.
Turn on your headlamps to make it
easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
If you believe your brakes may be
wet, apply them lightly whilst driv-
ing until normal braking operation
returns.

5. Replace the climate control air filter.
6. Reassemble in the reverse order
of disassembly.
Install a new climate control air filter
in the correct direction with the
arrow symbol (
↓ ↓) facing down-
wards, otherwise, it may be noisy
and the effectiveness of the filter
may be reduced.
Blade inspection
Contamination of either the wind-
screen or the wiper blades with for-
eign matter can reduce the effective-
ness of the windscreen wipers.
Common sources of contamination
are insects, tree sap, and hot wax
treatments used by some commer-
cial car washes. If the blades are not
wiping properly, clean both the win-
dow and the blades with a good
cleaner or mild detergent, and rinse
thoroughly with clean water.To prevent damage to the wiper
blades, arms or other compo-
nents, do not:
Use petrol, kerosene, paint thin-
ner, or other solvents on or near
them.
Attempt to move the wipers
manually.
Use non-specified wiper blades.
Information
Commercial hot waxes applied by
automatic car washes have been
known to make the windscreen diffi-
cult to clean.
Information
Wiper blades are a consumable item.
Normal wear of the wipers may not be
covered by your vehicle warranty.

Blade replacement
When the wipers no longer clean
adequately, the blades may be worn
or cracked, and require replacement.
To prevent damage to the wiper
arms or other components, do not
attempt to move the wipers manu-
ally.
In order to prevent damage to
the hood and the wiper arms, the
wiper arms should only be lifted
when in the fully up position.
Always return the wiper arms to
the windshield before starting
your journey.
The use of a non-specified wiper
blade could result in wiper mal-
function and failure.
Front windscreen wiper blade
This vehicle has a "hidden" wiper
design which means that the wipers
cannot be lifted when they are in their
bottom resting position.
1. Within 20 seconds of turning off the
engine, lift and hold the wiper lever
up to the MIST position for about 2
seconds until the wipers move to
the top wipe position.
2. At this time you can lift the wipers
off the windscreen.
3. Gently put the wipers back down
onto the windscreen.
4. Turn the wipers to any ON position
to return the wipers to the bottom
resting position.
Type A
1. Raise the wiper arm and turn the
wiper blade assembly to expose
the plastic locking clip.
