Clock - Clock
Description and Operation
The analogue clock is mounted in the center of fascia vent assembly and can only be removed after withdrawal of the fascia
vent assembly.
The clock is protected by a 5A fuse in lo cation F6 of the LH heelboard fusebox and illumination is controlled by the dimmer
module in the same manner as the other instruments.
The time displayed can be advanced using the positive button and retarded using the minus button.

Diagnosis and Testing
Tests Using the Portable Diagnostic Unit
Refer to PDU User Guide
The complexity of the electronics involved with the various Electronic Control Modules and the two multiplexed
communication networks, preclude the use of workshop general electrical test equipment. Therefore, reference should be
made to the PDU User Guide for detailed in structions on testing the clock circuit.
The PDU systematically tests an d analyses the clock and the electrucal connections to it.
Where a fault involving the clock is indicated by the PDU, befo re replacing the clock, some basic diagnostic methods may be
necessary to confirm that connections are good and that wiring is not damaged.

Information and Message Center - Information and Message Center
Description and Operation

The Driver's Information / Message Center has a liquid crystal display and is located at the lower area of the Major
Instrument Cluster.
The message center displays messages in text form for the driver, including odometer readings an d trip computer data. It
can also provide information normally covered by conventional wa rning lamps or typically indicate that a feature such as the
Automatic Stability Control is operating.
Located above the message center are two lamps, red for warning and amber for caution. When a message is displayed, the
appropriate lamp will illuminate to attract the driver's attention and to signify the importance of the message. The lamps
also illuminate simultaneously for some warnings and for some non-text warnin gs - refer to the Drivers Handbook for
variations in local markets.
Trip Computer

Pressing the trip switch on the left stalk of the steering colu mn switch assembly activates the trip computer which displays
trip data on the message center. Warning and Information messages have priority ov er trip data; if a driver information
message is displayed prior to activation of the trip computer , the trip data will appear for 10 seconds only, before being

replaced by the original message.
Each successive press of the trip switch causes the computer to continually cycle through the stored data which is then
displayed on the message center.
The trip computer switch pack, mounted on the fascia is only enabled while the trip computer output is displayed. Refer to
the Drivers Handbook for fu ll operating instructions.

The complexity of the electronics involved with the speedomete r and instrument cluster, of which the Message Center is a
part, and the two multiplexed communication networks which ar e connected to it preclude the use of workshop general
electrical test equipment. Therefore, refe rence should be made to the PDU User Guide for detailed instructions on testing
the speedometer and odometer.
The PDU systematically te sts and analyses all functions and the various systems affected by it.
Where a fault is indicated, before replac ing a component, some basic diagnostic methods may be necessary to confirm that
connections are good and that wiring is not damaged.

Parking Aid - Parking Aid
Description and Operation

The functi
on of the parking aid is to prov
ide an audible warning to the driver of the distance to obstacles near the rear
bumper of the vehicle when parking or travelling at a slow sp eed. The system provides an assistance to the driver when
parking in order to help avoid collision with obstacles.
The sensor range at the rear of the vehicl e should be 1.8 meters. This should extend the full width of the rear bumper and
reduce to 50 cm at the vehicle co rners. The vertical range is adequate to protec t the highest and lowest points of the rear of
the vehicle. The system will detect curbs with heights of at least 18 cm. Obstacles, such as curbs, that are low enough to
pass under the vehicle until they make contact with the tires will not be detected.
The system activates a specific speaker with a tone signifying the distance to the obstacle. The tone consists of a beep and
defined space ratio which varies depending on the calculated distance. When the distance to the obstacle is less than 20 cm
the speaker tone is continuous.
The parking aid is continuously in operation, unless towing wh en the system automatically switches off. If the reverse aid
develops a fault the tone will sound continuously for three seconds when the igni tion is switched on or the reverse gear is
selected.
The parking aid system comprises of:
a
module mounted in the batte
ry junction box (BJB).
fou
r rear bumper mounted sensors which have a 90° angled electrical connector.
an audible speaker, moun

ted on
the rear parcel shelf.
