BLIND SPOT MONITOR
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) system
monitors a zone that covers the area adjacent
to the vehicle, that is not easily visible by the
driver and is designed to identify any object
overtaking the vehicle. Th e system uses a radar
on each side of the vehicle to identify any
overtaking vehicl e/object within the blind spot
area of the vehicle, while disregarding other
objects which may be stati onary or travelling in
the opposite direction, etc.
The radar monitors the ar ea extending from the
exterior mirror rearwards, to approximately 7
metres (23 feet) behind the rear wheels, and up
to 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) from the side of the
vehicle (the wi dth of a typical carriageway
lane).
Note: This radar sensor is approved in all RTTE
countries.
Note: The system covers an area of a fixed lane
width. If the lanes are narrower than a typical
carriageway lane, objects travelling in
non-adjacent lanes may be detected.
BSM automatically switches on and becomes
active when the vehicle is travelling at greater
than 16 km/h (10 mph) in a forward drive gear.
When the system initiates, it performs a
self-check, during which the warning icons in
the mirrors illuminate alternately for a short
period of time.
WARNINGS
The Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
system is a supplement to, not a
replacement for, a safe driving style
and use of the exterior and rear-view mirrors.
It remains the driver's re sponsibility to detect
other vehicles, and their relative distance and
speed, when deciding whet her or not it is safe
to change lanes.
Please note that BSM may not be able
to give adequate wa rning of vehicles
approaching very quickly from behind
or vehicles that are be ing overtaken rapidly.
The radar sensors may be impaired
by rain, snow or road spray. This may
affect the sy stem's ability to reliably
detect a vehicle/object wi thin the blind spot. In
such conditions, take extra care when
changing lanes.
BSM may not be able to detect all
vehicles and may also detect objects,
such as roadside barriers, etc.
CAUTIONS
Ensure that the warning indicators in the
exterior mirrors are not obscured by
stickers or other objects.
Do not attach stickers or objects to the
rear bumpers, that may interfere with
the radar sensors.

BSM is designed to work most effectively when
driving on multi-lane highways.
If an object is identified by the system as being
an overtaking vehicle/object, an amber
warning icon ( 1) illuminates in the relevant
exterior mirror, to alert the driver that there is a
potential hazard in the vehicle's blind spot and
therefore, that a lane change might be
dangerous.
Note: If an overtaking vehicle is detected on
both sides of the vehicle simultaneously, the
warning icons in both mirrors will illuminate.
Note: BSM is automatically turned off when
reverse ( R) gear is selected, when the vehicle is
in park ( P), the vehicle is travelling below
16 km/h (10 mph) and also when the electrical
connector for the trailer socket is plugged in on
vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket.
When in these conditions, an amber warning
indicator within the exterior mirror is
displayed.Sensor blockage
The BSM system will automatically disable if
either of the sensors become completely
obscured, an amber wa rning indicator dot (2)
is displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM sensor blocked appears in the
message centre.
Note: Blockage testing is only initiated when
vehicle speed is above 32 km/h (20 mph) and
will take at least two minutes of accumulated
time travelling above th is speed, to determine
that the sensor is blocked.
If the sensors become blocked, then please
check that there is nothing obscuring the rear
bumper and that it is cl ear from ice, frost and
dirt.
System fault
If a fault with one of the radar sensors is
detected, an amber warn ing indicator dot is
displayed in the exterior mirror and the
message BSM not available is displayed in the
message centre.
Note: Even if the detected fault only affects the
radar sensor on one side of the vehicle, the
whole system is disabled. If the fault is
temporary, the system will operate correctly
once the engine has been switched off and then
on again.
If a fault in the system occurs, consult your
Dealer/Authorised Repairer.

Brakes

During emergency braking conditions ABS
constantly monitors the speed of each wheel.
ABS varies the brake pressure to individual
wheels, according to the grip available. The
constant alteration of brake pressure can be
felt as a pulsing sensation through the brake
pedal. This is not a caus e for concern, as it is
designed to demonstrate to the driver that ABS
is operating.
ABS braking techniques
For optimum ABS performance, these
instructions on braking techniques during ABS
operation should be followed:
• Do not release the brake pressure when
the pulsating effect is felt. Maintain a
constant pressure until the manoeuvre is
completed.
• To familiarise y ourself with the feel of the
brake pedal during ABS braking, practise
an emergency stop pr ocedure, always
making sure it is safe to do so. With the
seat belts fitted to all occupants, drive the
vehicle at 32 km/h (20 mph) and brake
sharply.
• ABS enables the driver to steer around
obstacles during em ergency braking.
However, the consequences of turning
sharply at high speed cannot be overcome
by the ABS.
• Do not attempt to pump the brakes to
avoid skidding, as this can interfere with
ABS operation. The ABS will not allow the
wheels to skid under normal road
conditions.
• The ABS will tend to keep the vehicle
straight during braki ng. Because braking
distances may increase under certain road
conditions, it is nece ssary to plan and
make turning manoeuvres as early as
possible.
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
EBD balances the distribution of braking forces
between the wheels on the front and rear axles,
to maintain maximum braking under all vehicle
loading conditions.
For example; Under light loads, EBD applies
less braking effort to the rear wheels, to
maintain stability. Conv ersely, it allows full
braking effort to the rear wheels when the
vehicle is towing or is heavily laden.
A fault with the EBD system is
indicated by illumination of the red
brake warning indicator and the
message EBD FAULT is displayed in the
message centre. Gently stop the vehicle, as
soon as safety permit s, and seek qualified
assistance.

Brakes
146

Emergency Brake Assist (EBA)
The EBA system measures the rate at which the
brake pressure increases. If the system detects
an emergency braking situation, EBA
automatically init iates full braking effect. This
can reduce stopping dist ances in critical
situations.
EBA stops operating as soon as the brake pedal
is released.
EBA is part of the Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) system and a fault
with the EBA system is indicated by
the amber DSC warning indicator illuminating
and DSC NOT AVAILABLE (with amber
backlight) displaying in the message centre.
Seek qualified assistan ce as soon as possible.
Brake vacuum assist
(V6 petrol models only)
When the engine is cold and/or engine vacuum
is low, Brake vacuum assist provides additional
brake pedal assistance. When the function is
operating, a pulsation ma y be felt through the
brake pedal - this is not a cause for concern.
A fault is indicate d by the message BRAKE
ASSIST FAULT (with amber backlight)
appearing in the message centre. Increased
brake pedal effort may be required to slow the
vehicle when the engine is cold and/or engine
vacuum is low. Seek qualified assistance.
ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE (EPB)
The switch which operate s the parking brake is
mounted on the centre c onsole to the rear of
the gear selector.
To engage the parking brake (1): Pull the
parking brake switch up wards and release. The
switch will return to the neutral position. The
Parking brake warning and Brake fluid low
warning indicator on the instrument panel will
illuminate.
The Drive Away Release feature allows the
parking brake to release automatically as the
vehicle is driven away.
To disengage the parking brake (2): With the
ignition system on or with the engine running,
apply the foot brake and press the parking
brake switch down.
If the parking brake is a pplied while the vehicle
is stationary and D or R is selected, applying
the throttle will auto matically release the
parking brake.
The parking brake is also automatically
released when the gear selector is moved from
the P position.
WARNING
The EBA system is an additional
safety system; it is not intended to
relieve the driver of his or her
responsibility for exercising due care and
attention when driving.12

Front and rear parking aid
When both front and rear parking aids are
fitted, a switch is located in the overhead
console.
Pressing the switch turns both the front and
rear parking aids on or off. The switch warning
indicator will come on when the system is
turned on. A switch is not provided when only
a rear parking aid is fitted.
Note: The front parking aid will also operate
when reverse gear is selected.
The front parking aid provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards or
reversing.
The front and rear sensors only operate within
a fixed speed range in forward gears and are
not effective when moving forwards above
15 km/h (9 mph). Objects are detected within the approximate
operating range from the
front of the vehicle,
as shown in the illustration above:
1. 600 mm (24 inches).
2. 1800 mm (71 inches).
3. 800 mm (31 inches).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or rear of
the vehicle, a warning tone will be heard from
the front or rear speaker respectively.
Note: The outer rear sensors ( 1) will show
visual detection on the touch-screen, before
the audible warning is given.
The warning tone increa ses in rate as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
CAUTION
The parking aid system automatically
switches off when the vehicle is moving
above 15 km/h (9 mph) in D, and will need to
be reselected when moving below 15 km/h
(9 mph).

Parking aid

The front or rear warning tone will become
continuous when the obstacle is detected at or
within 300 mm (12 inches) from the vehicle.
Note: The outer front and rear sensors will
switch off if the distance to an object increases
or remains constant for 3 seconds. The
sensors will reactivate automatically if a new
object is detected with in the operating range,
or if the distance to the original object reduces.
Rear fitted accessories
Particular care must be taken when reversing
with rear fitted accessories e.g. bicycle carrier,
as the rear park assist will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle.
Cleaning the sensors
Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp
objects or materials.
For reliable operation, th e sensors in the front
and rear bumpers should be kept free from ice,
frost and grime.
When using a high pressure spray the sensors
should only be sprayed br iefly and not from a
distance of less than 200 mm (8 inches).
System fault
If the system has a fault when engaging reverse
gear or turning on the ignition, then a single,
three second tone will be heard (only once per
ignition cycle) and a pop-up warning will
appear on the touch-scre en. If both front and
rear parking aids are fitted, the warning
indicator in the parking aid switch will flash for
three seconds and then switch off, if a fault is
detected.
If a fault is detected, the system is
automatically disabled.
The parking aid may sound spurious tones if it
detects a frequency tone using the same band
as the sensors (e.g. air brakes).
