Steering  ColumnSTEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
DO NOT adjust the steering wheel position 
while the vehicle is in motion. This is 
extremely dangerous!
The steering wheel position can be adjusted in 
four directions, corresponding with the 
movement of the adjustment lever, to suit your 
driving position. 
With the vehicle stationary, move the lever up 
or down to adjust the height of the steering 
wheel.
Move the lever forwards or rearwards, to move 
the steering wheel further away from, or closer 
to, the body.
STEERING WHEEL POSITION MEMORY*
The finalised steering wheel position is stored 
in memory and referenced to the starter key in 
use when the position was set.
When that key is next used, the stored settings 
associated with it will be actioned.
This enables different steering wheel settings to 
be stored on different keys, helping driving 
position to be easily optimised for more than 
one driver.
NOTE: On vehicles fitted with the driver’s seat 
memory facility, up to three different steering 
column positions can be stored in the seat 
memory, this enables the driver to recall the 
optimum steering wheel position at the touch of 
a button - for further information, please refer 
to ‘DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY*’, 
page 49.

							Door Mirrors

D oor MirrorsEXTERIOR MIRRORS
NOTE: The right-hand mirror glass is convex, 
providing a wider field of vision. As a result, 
objects viewed in the mirror are closer than 
they appear.
Mirror adjustment
•Move the lower control (2) to the left or 
right-hand position to select either the left 
or right hand mirror.
•With the starter switch turned to position 
‘II’, push the appropriate arrow on the 
mirror adjust control (1) to tilt the mirror 
glass up/down/left or right.
The door mirrors have integral heating 
elements which disperse ice or mist from the 
glass. These will operate automatically with the 
starter switch in position ‘II’, depending on 
external temperature.NOTE: On vehicles fitted with the driver’s seat 
memory facility, up to three different exterior 
mirror positions can be stored in the seat 
memory, this enables the driver to recall the 
optimum mirror position at the touch of a 
button - for further information, please refer to 
‘DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY*’, 
page 49.

Folding the mirror body
The door mirrors are designed to fold forwards 
or rearwards on impact. They can also be folded 
back towards the side windows into a ‘park’ 
position to enable the vehicle to negotiate 
narrower openings.
Press the mirror-fold button (arrowed in inset) 
once to fold the mirrors into the side windows. 
Press again to return the mirrors to the driving 
position.
NOTE: Mirror folding is disabled if vehicle 
speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
If the mirrors are accidentally knocked out of 
position (i.e. with one mirror extended and the 
other in the ‘parked’ position), an additional 
operation of the switch will re-synchronise 
them.Automatic dimming
On some models, the mirrors are equipped with 
an electrochromatic dimming function that 
‘dims’ the mirror to reduce glare from the 
headlights of following vehicles at night.
Automatic mirror dipping
Vehicles fitted with driver’s seat memory have a 
pre-stored function, which causes the 
passenger’s side mirror to dip whenever 
reverse gear is selected, giving the driver a view 
of the curbside. This facility is only available if 
the mirror select button (‘2’ on previous page), 
is set to the driver’s side.

							Instruments

InstrumentsINSTRUMENT PANEL
1. Fuel gauge
The pointer drops to zero when the starter 
switch is turned off, but quickly rises to show 
the level of fuel in the tank when the switch is 
turned to position ‘II’. After refuelling, the 
gauge rapidly rises to reflect the increase of fuel 
in the tank.
When the fuel remaining in the tank is a 
minimum of 3 gallons (12 litres), the AMBER 
low fuel warning light in the fuel gauge 
illuminates. If the light illuminates, refuel at the 
first opportunity.
The small arrow visible in the fuel pump symbol 
on the gauge indicates the side of the vehicle on 
which the fuel filler is located - a useful 
reminder to help you position the vehicle on the 
correct side before refuelling. CAUTION: NEVER allow vehicles to run out of 
fuel (the resultant misfire may destroy the 
catalytic converter).
2. Speedometer
Indicates road speed in miles and kilometres 
per hour.
3. Tachometer
Indicates engine speed in revolutions per 
minute (x 1000). In normal driving conditions 
the engine is most fuel efficient between 2000 
and 3000 rev/min.

4. Temperature gauge
Once the engine coolant has reached its normal 
operating temperature, the pointer will rise to a 
position midway between the RED and BLUE 
segments of the gauge (the precise position will 
vary according to climatic conditions).
If the pointer moves towards the RED segment, 
this indicates that the engine coolant is 
becoming too hot. Should the pointer move 
INTO the RED segment and the RED warning 
light within the gauge illuminates, severe 
engine damage could occur (under these 
circumstances, the air conditioning may switch 
off and engine performance may reduce in 
order to minimise engine load).
Stop the vehicle as soon as safety permits and 
switch off the engine and allow to cool down. If 
the problem persists, seek qualified assistance 
before continuing.
5. System check control
With the starter key NOT inserted, press and 
hold the control to check whether any system 
malfunctions have occurred. If faults exist, they 
will be listed in turn in the main message center 
until the control is released. If no malfunctions 
have occurred, ‘CHECK CONTROL OK’ is 
displayed. See ‘MAIN MESSAGE CENTER’, 
page 76, for further information. Any messages 
will also be displayed during driving and when 
the starter switch is turned off.
This control button is also used in conjunction 
with the Service Interval Indicator, see 
‘SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR’, page 81.
6. Gear selector position display
This shows the current gear lever position and 
indicates when low range has been selected. 
See ‘GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY’, page 81, for 
further information.7. Main message center
Displays all warning and information messages 
submitted by the vehicle systems. For further 
information concerning messages and their 
meanings, refer to ‘MAIN MESSAGE CENTER’, 
page 76.
8. Total distance (odometer) and trip recorder
With the starter switch turned to position ‘II’, 
the display indicates the total distance travelled 
by the vehicle, and also shows the most recent 
individual journey distance. In some markets, 
the display can be set to show either miles or 
kilometres. To convert from one to another, 
press and hold the trip recorder reset button for 
more than two seconds. 
9.Service Interval Indicator
This briefly shows a countdown to the next oil 
service or inspection, when the starter switch is 
turned on. See ‘SERVICE INTERVAL 
INDICATOR’, page 81, for further information.
10. Trip recorder reset button
Press briefly to return the trip recorder display 
to zero.  
						

							Trip Computer

Trip ComputerTRIP COMPUTER - FUNCTION 
SELECTION
The trip computer utilises the message center 
in the instrument pack and provides useful 
information to assist the driver to calculate fuel 
stops, journey times and distances.When the starter switch is in position ‘II’, the 
different trip computer statistics can be viewed 
in turn by pressing the button on the end of the 
direction indicator stalk repeatedly until the 
relevant statistic is displayed. The statistics are 
displayed in the following order:
•Speed limit.
