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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The driver message centre display is situated
within the instrument panel between the
tachometer and speedometer gauges. The
message centre is active as soon as a door is
opened for access.
The primary function of the message centre is
to inform the driver of the following:
• Warning messages.
• Temporary alert messages.
• Information messages.
• Turn-by-turn navigation.
The message centre screen is divided into
various zones displaying the following:
1. Gear selection, automatic or manual.
2. Warning messages, accompanied by a red
or amber backlight, if system faults are
detected. Status messages are displayed
to indicate changes in state of certain
vehicle functions (e.g. navigation). When there are no current warning
messages, turn-by-turn navigation
information is displayed, giving
instructions for the next junction. This
facility can be turned off via the
touch-screen. See
TURN-BY-TURN
NAVIGATION (page 339).
The clock can be shown when no other
information is required to be displayed.
See CLOCK (page 124).
3. Trip computer information, including total
distance covered by the vehicle. See TRIP
COMPUTER (page 107).
4. Set trip computer information display
relating A, B or Auto trip computer.
See PERSONALISED SETTINGS
(page 111).
On diesel and V8 petrol models, the
electronic engine oil dipstick reading can
also be displayed, when selected using the
trip computer button. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).

WARNING AND INFORMATION
MESSAGES
Most displayed warning messages have an
associated warning indicator, which will
illuminate on to indicate the message priority.
Also from time to time information messages
will be displayed.
If more than one message is active, each is
displayed in turn for two seconds in order of
priority.
Messages take priority over the trip computer
data and will be displayed when the ignition is
on.
Note: The message centre information
messages and their meanings, are detailed
where necessary within the appropriate subject
sections.
Clearing messages from the display
It is possible to temporarily clear certain
warning or information messages from the
message centre.
When a message is displayed in the message
centre (e.g. WASHER FLUID LOW ), a red
warning triangle icon appears on the
touch-screen, where shown.
Touch the icon to temporarily stop the
currently displayed message from appearing.
Once the message is removed, the colour of
the warning icon in the message centre
changes to white, as a reminder that an
outstanding message exists.
Note: Certain warnings, that are critical for the
safe operation of the vehi cle, cannot be cleared
from the display.
Note: If multiple messages are displayed, this
process can be repeated to remove all
messages from the display.
Removed messages will display again,
whenever the ignition is switched on, until the
fault is rectified (i.e. in this example, when the
washer fluid is topped up).
WARNING
If a warning indicato r is displayed,
stop the vehicle as soon as possible
when it is safe to do so. Do not ignore
critical warning messages. Failure to do so
may result in serious damage to the vehicle.
