INSTRUMENT 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 12 litres (3 Gallons) 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 of the forecourt pumps 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 per hour 
(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 centre 
until the control is released. If no malfunctions 
have occurred, CHECK CONTROL OK is 
displayed, see MAIN MESSAGE CENTRE, 74, 
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, 80.6. Gear selector position display
This shows the current gear lever position and 
indicates when low range has been selected. 
See GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY, 80, for further 
information.
7. Main message centre
Displays all warning and information messages 
submitted by the vehicle systems. For further 
information concerning messages and their 
meanings, refer to MAIN MESSAGE CENTRE, 74.
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 the distance remaining 
before the next oil service or inspection is due, 
when the starter switch is turned on. See 
SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR, 80, for 
further information.
10. Trip recorder reset button
Press briefly to return the trip recorder display 
to zero.

Trip Co mputer
TRIP COMPUTER - FUNCTION 
SELECTION
The trip computer utilises the message centre 
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.
•Distance (from destination).
•Range.
•Estimated time of arrival.
•Date.
•The current time.
•Fuel consumption 1.
•Fuel consumption 2.
•Average speed.
The driver has the option to select which of the 
above functions are displayed and also in which 
order. For further information, consult your 
`In-Car Entertainment or `Audio, Navigation 
System book.

remain displayed while the fault persists.
A non-critical warning is displayed for 
approximately 20 seconds, reducing to a 
minimum of 2 seconds if other warning 
messages are pending.
DO NOT ignore warning messages.

SERVICE INTERVAL INDICATOR
When the starter switch is turned to position I, 
a countdown to when the next service is due 
appears in the total distance travelled display 
(arrowed in inset). In the left-hand sector, the 
type of service required is shown. A minus sign 
preceding the distance indicates that the 
service interval point has been exceeded and 
this is the distance by which it is overdue.
After approximately five seconds, the display 
reverts to show just the total distance travelled.
The mileage countdown is controlled by the 
engine management system and is adjusted to 
allow for driving style and conditions, to gauge 
when the appropriate service becomes 
necessary.
Note: After the completion of each service, the 
Retailer will reset the distance display to 
commence the countdown to the next service.
GEAR SELECTOR DISPLAY
This shows the current gear lever position (‘P, 
R, N or D) and indicates when low range 
has been selected. In addition, the display 
indicates which gear has been selected when 
the gearbox is in manual mode (5, 4, 3, 2 
or 1).
The LOW range indicator (in the top right 
corner of the display) flashes whilst the transfer 
gearbox changes ranges and then illuminates 
constantly when low range has engaged. The 
range change will also be confirmed in the main 
message centre.
