BLIND SPOT MONITOR
Blind spot information system
(BLIS)
WARNINGS
The system is not designed to
prevent contact with other vehicles
or objects. The system only provides
a warning to assist you in detecting
vehicles in the blind spot zones. The
system will not detect obstacles,
pedestrians, motorcyclists or cyclists. Do not use the system as a
replacement for using the side and
rear view mirrors, and looking over
your shoulder before changing lanes. The
system is not a replacement for careful
driving and is only to be used as an aid. The system is a convenience feature that
aids the driver in detecting vehicles that
may have entered the blind spot zone (A).
The detection area is on both sides of the
vehicle extending rearwards from the
exterior mirrors to approximately 3 metres
(10 feet) beyond the bumper. The system
will alert you if certain vehicles enter the
blind spot zone whilst driving.
Using the system
The system displays a yellow indicator
located in the exterior mirrors.
Note:
Both indicators will illuminate briefly
when you switch the ignition on to confirm
that the system is operational.

POSITION
WARNINGS
Do not adjust the seats when the
vehicle is moving.
Only when you use the seat belt
properly, can it hold you in a position
that allows the airbag to achieve its
optimum effect. When you use them properly, the seat,
head restraint, seat belt and airbags will
provide optimum protection in the event
of a collision. We recommend that you:
•
sit in an upright position with the base
of your spine as far back as possible.
• do not recline the seatback more than
30 degrees.
• adjust the head restraint so that the
top of it is level with the top of your
head and as far forwards as possible,
remaining comfortable.
• keep sufficient distance between
yourself and the steering wheel. We
recommend a minimum of 250
millimetres (10 inches) between your
breastbone and the airbag cover.
• hold the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. •
bend your legs slightly so that you can
press the pedals fully.
• position the shoulder strap of the seat
belt over the centre of your shoulder
and position the lap strap tightly across
your hips.
Make sure that your driving position is
comfortable and that you can maintain full
control of your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
CAUTION
For vehicles with Start-stop the
battery requirement is different. It
must be replaced by one of exactly
the same specification as the original. The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when the vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. The engine will
automatically restart when the driver
presses the clutch pedal or when required
by a vehicle system, for example to
recharge the battery.
To obtain maximum benefit from the
system, move the gear lever to the neutral
position and release the clutch pedal
during any stop of longer than three
seconds.
USING START-STOP
WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system. See Principle of Operation
(page 133). Switch the ignition off before
opening the bonnet or carrying out
any maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have shut down the engine but
the ignition will still be live. Note:
The system only operates when the
engine is warm and the outside temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 30°C (86°F). Note:
If you stall the engine, and then
depress the clutch pedal within a couple of
seconds, the system will automatically
restart the engine.
Note: The Start-stop indicator will
illuminate green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 79).
Note: The Start-stop indicator will flash
amber, requiring you to select neutral or
depress the clutch pedal. In conjunction a
message will be shown in the display.
Note: If the system detects a malfunction,
it is deactivated. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician.
Note: If you have switched the system off,
the switch will be illuminated.
Note: The system is on by default. To
switch the system off, press the switch in
the instrument panel. The system will only
be de-activated for the current ignition
cycle. To turn it on, press the switch again.
For item location. See At a Glance (page
10). To stop the engine
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move the gear lever to the neutral
position.
3. Release the clutch pedal.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.

3. Do not lift the nozzle during refilling. This
can affect the flow of fuel and shut off of
the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full. 4. Operate the nozzle within the area
shown.
WARNINGS
We recommend that you remove the
fuel nozzle slowly to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank. Alternatively you can wait 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle. Do not remove the nozzle from its
fully inserted position during the
entire refuelling process. 5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove
it.
Refuelling with a fuel can
Use the funnel which is located in the glove
box.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are
derived from laboratory tests according to
EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and
subsequent amendments and are carried
out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the real
world fuel consumption you may get from
your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption
is governed by many factors including;
driving style, high speed driving, stop/start
driving, air conditioning usage, the
accessories fitted and towing etc.
