Carpets
The passenger compartment carpet is a one piece moulded constr uction with integral sound deadening material, heel mats
and driver's footrest. The carpet is attach ed to the vehicle floor by plastic clips fitted below the door treadplates. Removal of the carpet necessitates re moval of the front seats, lifting of the centre console rear extens ion and removal of the heelboard
carpet.
Fascia
The full width, slush moulded, soft feel PVC fascia is mounted on an injection moulded armature and is faced with wood
veneer. In addition to the air conditioning and central, outer and demisting vents, it accepts instrument packs dedicated to
market requirements and a centrally mounted analogue clock.
Doors
The one-piece door casings are trimmed in UEV to match the seating, with wood veneer at the waistline and a carpet insert
at the front lower corner. Each casing is secured to the door inner panel by fir tree press fast eners along the lower section,
two armrest fixings at the centre and vene er panel dowels and fixings at the top. The armrests which are common to front
and rear doors, are trimmed in matching leather or UEV according to specification. The door switchpacks, dedicated to
driver and front or rear passenger, are in corporated in the armrests. A speaker is in stalled in the lower section of each door
and a tweeter is incorporated behind each interior door handle escutcheon. Where premium ICE is fitted, the front tweeters
are installed in the upper A posts.
A, B, C and D Posts
On each side,a grained UEV finisher trimmed to match the headlining is secured to the 'A' post and cantrail by fir tree
fasteners locating in BIW apertures. The upper 'D' post finisher is trimmed and secured in the same manner. The single
piece'B/C' post finishers, also finished in grained matching UEV, each have a front se at belt exit aperture and are secured to
the BIW by four spring clips and two fir tree fasteners.
Headlining
The one-piece headlining consists of a 6mm thick polyurethane foam membrane covered with suede effect knitted polyester. The headlining is secured to the BIW roof by body tangs, the roof console, sun visors, combined grab handles and coat
hooks, the cantrail finishers and where fitt ed, the sliding roof finisher and clips.
Trunk
Carpet covered trims line the trunk and are secured by fir tr ee fasteners to the sides and front inner panel. The carpet
covered, two-section, removable trunk fl oor provides access to the spare wheel and wheel changing equipment, the battery
and electrical carrier. The floor board rests on the spare wheel, with the front and rear edges locating in blocks on the fuel
tank backboard and the rear of the body. The support blocks provide for two floor he ight settings to accommodate either a
space saver or full size spare wheel.A moulded finisher covering the rear of the trunk below the sill is secured to the rear
panel by tabs and fir tree fasteners. Finish er panels fitted to the rear lamp units provide trunk interior access to the lamps.
The trunk lid underside is fitted with a removabl e moulded liner and two trunk illumination lights.

Rear View Mirrors - Rear View Mirrors
Description and Operation
Interior Rear View Mirror

The interior rear view mirror is an elec trochromic unit that automatically darken s to prevent glare from following vehicle
lights. This automatic function is selected by pressing the switch at the bottom of the mirror. Pressing the switch again
cancels this function. An LE D then illuminates when automatic dipping is operative.
A Night Sentinel light sensing unit also incorporated in the mi rror casing, provides for automatic control of the vehicle lights.

Door Rear View Mirrors

The door mirrors are cheater mounted, colo r-keyed units, remote electrically adjustable and heated. Adjustment of both
mirrors is carried out from the driver's door switchpack. A slider switch selects the mirror to be adjusted, and a disc switch
adjusts the selected mirror to the required position.

Mirror adjustment can only be made when the ignition switch is in position I or II or the driver's door is open, and the
selector switch is moved from the central position.
When fitted, electrochromic door mirrors au tomatically darken under control of the interior rear view mirror. Mirror heating
elements operate on selection of backlight heating.
Automatic dipping of passenger door mirror for kerb view when reversing, is fitted as part of the memory pack. With the
ignition switch in position II, the mirror selector switch in the left or right position and reverse gear selected, automatic
dipping is initiated by moving the mirro r toggle switch rearwards and releasing.
On receipt of the dip signal, th e passenger door mirror is driven downwards eith er 7 degrees, bottom of travel, or 4,5 to 5,5
seconds, whichever occurs first. Subsequent rear ward movement of the toggle switch achieves further dipping of the mirror
in the same increments and sequence.
The mirror can be manually returned to the normal memorised position by moving the toggle switch forward with reverse
gear selected. The mirror will automatically return to memorised position on deselection of reverse gear, or moving ignition
switch from position II.
Door mirror fold-back where fitted, to facilitate parking in conf ined spaces, can be initiated when the ignition switch is in
position I or II, the mirror selector switch is in the centra l position and vehicle speed is below 19 km/h (12 mph). Mirror
fold-back is then initiated by moving the toggle switch rear wards and releasing it. The door mirrors are returned to the
normal driving position by ag ain moving toggle switch rearwards. There is no speed constraint on this operation.
In the event of a fold-back mirror becoming 'out of position' du e to accidental impact, it must only be re-positioned by
initiating the fold-back sequence.
Loss of power supplies will result in loss of mirror fold-back memory. In the event of such a memory loss with mirrors in the
normal position, fold-back will operate on second movement of the toggle swit ch. On loss of memory with mirrors in the
fold-back position, they will return to the no rmal position on next fold-back operation.

Door Glass.
The 5 mm tempered and tinted door glass forms part of a fully framed electrically operated system. A switchpack installed
in each door casing provides control of lowering and raising of that particular d oor glass with additional 'one-shot' fast
lowering . The driver's door switchpack also provides for independent control of each passenger door glass and total
isolation of all passenger door glass control. Each door glas s is raised and lowered by an electrically operated scissor
mechanism. All door glass can only be operated wh en the ignition switch is in position I or II.
