·ISOLATE the rear window switches when
carrying children.
·ENSURE children are kept clear when
raising or lowering a window.
·NEVER leave children alone in the
vehicle.
·ENSURE that all adult passengers are

							Electric windows
71 One-touch up & down
By briefly pressing and then releasing a switch
(within
1/2second), a window can be opened
or closed at a single touch. Window
movement can be stopped at any time by
pressing the opposing side of the switch.
NOTE:One-touch up is not available on rear
windows.
Anti-trap function
The anti-trap function is a safety feature
which prevents a window from closing when
an obstruction is sensed (WINDOW
BLOCKED appears in the message centre). It
is recommended that this is set at all times,
but particularly when carrying children.
NOTE:If the one-touch and anti-trap
functions have not been set, an audible
warning sounds and WINDOW NOT SET is
displayed in the message centre whenever a
window is closed and also whenever the
starter switch is turned on or off.Setting the one-touch & anti-trap
functions
If the battery has been disconnected, it will be
necessary to reset the one-touch and
anti-trap functions on each window, using
the following procedure:
1.FULLY open and close each window in
one continuous operation (note that as the
window is closing, an audible warning
sounds and WINDOW NOT SET is
displayed in the message centre).
2.Once the window has been fully opened
and closed, an audible warning sounds
and WINDOW SET (together with a
window identifier message) is displayed in
the message centre.
The one-touch and anti-trap functions will
now be operational.
NOTE:The one-touch up function is
available on front windows only. 
						

							Electric windows
72 Overriding the anti-trap function
Under certain conditions, you may wish to
override the anti-trap function. If, for
example, you attempt to operate the windows
with the operating mechanism partially frozen,
the anti-trap function may falsely sense a
trap situation and fail to close the window
(always clear any ice from the window to
prevent overloading the operating
mechanism).
The anti-trap function can be overridden as
follows:
1.Using the centre console switches only,
press and hold the upper part of the
appropriate window operating switch
within 10 seconds of the window backing
off (after it has falsely sensed a trap
situation).
2.Continue to hold the switch until the
window is either closed or has reached the
desired position (note that as the window
is closing, an audible warning sounds and
ANTI-TRAP OFF is displayed in the
message centre).
NOTE:The anti-trap function will be
operational again, as soon as the window
operating switch is released.Rear window isolation switch
Press the bottom of the switch to isolate the
rear window controls (a tone will sound and
the message centre displays REAR
WINDOWS OFF); press the top of the switch
to restore independant control.
Always isolate the rear window switches when
carrying children. 
						

							Electric sunroof
73
The sunroof can be operated when the starter
switch is in position I or II and for up to 45
seconds after the starter switch is turned off
(provided the drivers door is not opened in
the meantime). If the drivers door is opened,
then a further 45 second period commences.
NOTE:Only manual mode (not one-touch) is
available for the 45 second period(s).
NOTE:The sunroof blind can be opened and
closed manually, but will retract automatically
when the sunroof is opened.
The sunroof opens and closes in two separate
phases as follows:To TILT the roof:

releasing when the sunroof is in the desired
position. Press and hold the lower part of the
switch to close the sunroof.
One-touch operation

of the switch (within
1/2second): The sunroof
will open to a pre-set position which
minimises air turbulence (and noise) within
the vehicle. To fully open the sunroof, press
and release the switch for a second time.
Press and release the lower part of the switch
(within
1/2second) to close the sunroof at a
single touch. Sunroof movement can be
stopped at any time by pressing the opposing
side of the switch.
NOTE:One touch operation is not applicable
to the tilt function.
Anti-trap function
The anti-trap function is a safety feature
which prevents the sunroof from closing
when an obstruction is sensed (message
centre shows SUNROOF BLOCKED). It is
recommended that this is set at all times, but
particularly when carrying children.
NOTE:If the one-touch and anti-trap
functions have not been set, an audible
warning sounds and SUNROOF NOT SET is
displayed in the message centre whenever the
sunroof is operational and also whenever the
starter switch is turned on or off.

·NEVER leave children alone in the
vehicle.
·ENSURE that all adult passengers are
fully familiar with the controls and the
potential dangers of operating an
electrically-operated sunroof.
·DO NOT allow passengers to extend any
part of their bodies through the sunroof
while the vehicle is moving.
·ENSURE the anti-trap function is
activated whenever possible.Overriding the anti-trap function
Under certain conditions you may wish to
override the anti-trap function. If, for
example, you attempt to operate the sunroof
with the operating mechanism partially frozen,
the anti-trap function may falsely sense a
trap situation and fail to close the sunroof (it
is recommended that you clear any ice from
the sunroof to prevent overloading the
operating mechanism).
The anti-trap function can be overridden as

drivers door opened with the sunroof still
open.
If you are leaving the vehicle ALWAYS close
the sunroof.

Emergency operation
If sunroof operation should fail, first check the
fuse and renew if necessary.
If necessary, the emergency operating key
(stowed in the glovebox) can be engaged in
the sunroof motor spindle and used to
manually turn the spindle to close the sunroof
(see illustration).
The spindle is accessible by prising the front
courtesy light unit from the headlining.
On completion of manual operation, the
spindle must be turned back one quarter of a
turn to re-engage the drive mechanism. 
						

							Heating & ventilating
76
The heating and ventilation system provides
fresh or heated air to the vehicle occupants.
Outlets are positioned to supply air at both
face and foot level and also to the windscreen,
as well as to a single lap cooler vent
positioned below the steering wheel. The
location of the vents is shown in the
illustration.Vehicles fitted with Automatic Temperature
Control (ATC) are equipped with two
additional outlets which supply de-humidified
air to the rear of the passenger compartment.
Face level vents
Push the thumbwheel down/up to open/close
the vent. Direct the airflow by moving the
slider in the centre of the vent. Fully opening
the drivers outboard vent also opens the lap
cooler outlet.

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC)
Automatic temperature control consists of a
computer controlled heating and air
conditioning system. It is programmed to
reach and then maintain optimum levels of
comfort within the vehicle, irrespective of
climatic conditions.
FULLY AUTOMATIC OPERATION
With the engine running, press the Auto
button(3)(Auto appears in the display) and
then press the rocker switches(1)either side
of the display(2)to adjust the temperature for
the corresponding side of the vehicle, until an
agreeable comfort level (about 21°Cor70°F
is recommended) is reached. HI or LO will
appear in the display when the
maximum/minimum temperatures are
selected, in which case the system will not
function automatically.
To change the temperature scale to either
Centigrade or Fahrenheit press the two
outermost air distribution buttons(4)
simultaneously for approximately 4 seconds.NOTE:The automatic temperature control
system will not achieve temperatures on the
passenger side of the vehicle that are more
than 6
°C greater or less than the temperature
set for the drivers side.
For optimum comfort, ensure all the vents,
including those in the rear, are open and that
the slider in the centre of each vent is in its
central position.
NOTE:For ATC to function correctly, all
windows should be closed and the air intake
at the base of the windscreen must be free
from ice, snow, leaves or other debris.
