AUTOWIPERS

Highest sensitivity.A

On.B

Lowest sensitivity.C

The autowipers feature uses a rain sensor.You will find it in the area around the interiormirror. The rain sensor monitors the amountof moisture on the windshield andautomatically turns on the wipers. It willadjust the wiper speed by the amount ofmoisture that the sensor detects on the

windshield.Use the rotary control to adjust thesensitivity of the rain sensor. Set the controlto low sensitivity, and the wipers will turnon when the rain sensor detects a largeamount of moisture on the windshield. Setthe control to high sensitivity, and thewipers will turn on when the rain sensordetects a small amount of moisture on thewindshield.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMCONTROL

The system will automatically switch onhigh beams if it is dark enough and no othertraffic is present. If it detects anapproaching vehicles headlamps or taillamps, or street lighting ahead the systemwill switch off high beam before it candistract other road users. Low beam will

remain on.Once the system is active the high beamwill switch on if:

It is dark enough to require the use ofhigh beams and

there is no traffic or street lightingahead and

vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph(40 km/h).

The high beam will switch off if:

The ambient light is high enough thathigh beam is not required.

An approaching vehicle's headlamps ortail lamps are detected.

Street lighting is detected.

Vehicle speed falls below 19 mph(30 km/h).

The camera sensor is too hot orbecomes blocked.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORINGSYSTEM

As a driver assistance feature, your vehiclehas a tire pressure monitoring system. Awarning lamp will illuminate when one ormore of the tires are significantlyunder-inflated. If the low tire pressurewarning lamp illuminates, you should stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,check the tires and inflate them to thecorrect pressure.

Driving on under-inflated tires can:

Cause them to overheat. Lead to tire failure.

Reduce fuel efficiency.

Reduce tire life.

Affect vehicle handling or stoppingability.

The system is not a substitute for correcttire maintenance.

You must maintain the correct tirepressures, even if low tire pressure has notilluminated the warning lamp.

Understanding the Tire PressureMonitoring System

The system measures the pressure in the

four road tires and sends the tire pressurereadings to your vehicle.

The system detects this lower pressure asbeing significantly below the correctinflation pressure and the warning lampilluminates. You must inflate the tires tothe correct pressure.

If the Warning Lamp is On:

1. Check each tire to verify that none are

flat.2. If one or more tires are flat, repair as

necessary.

3. Check the tire pressures and inflate allthe tires to the correct pressure.

4. Carry out the tire pressure monitoringsystem reset procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemReset Procedure

You must carry out the system resetprocedure after each tire replacement oradjustment of the tire pressures.

Carrying Out the System ResetProcedure
