handles should be re-e nabled when carrying
adult passengers in th e rear seat positions.
To change the child lock settings:-
1. Open the door to access the child safety
lock.
2. Insert the emergency key into the slot and
rotate a quarter of a turn, to enable or

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Tyre markings
1.P indicates that the tyre is for passenger
vehicle use.
2. The width of the tyre fr om sidewall edge to
sidewall edge in millimetres.
3. The aspect ratio, also known as the profile,
gives the sidewall height as a percentage
of the tread width. So, if the tread width is
205 mm, and the aspect ratio is 50, the
sidewall height will be 102 mm.
4. R indicates that the ty re is of Radial ply
construction.
5. The diameter of the wheel rim given in
inches.
6. The load index for the tyre. This index is
not always shown.
7. The speed rating denotes the maximum
speed at which the tyre should be used for
extended periods. † 8.
Tyre manufacturing standard information,
which can be used for tyre recalls and
other checking processe s. Most of this
information relates to the manufacturer,
place of manufacture etc. The last four
numbers are the date of manufacture. For
example, if the number was 3106, the tyre
was made in the 31st week of 2006.
9. M+S or M/S indicates that the tyre has
been designed with some capability for
mud and snow.
10. The number of plies in both the tread area,
and the sidewall area, indicates how many
layers of rubber coat ed material make up
the structure of the tyre. Information is
also provided on the type of materials
used.

Wheels and tyres

11.Wear rate indicator. A tyre rated at 400 for
example, will last twice as long as a tyre
rated at 200.
12. The traction rating grades a tyres
performance when stopping on a wet road
surface. The higher the grade the better the
braking performance. The grades from
highest to lowest are, AA, A, B, and C.
13. The maximum load which can be carried
by the tyre.
14. Heat resistance grading. The tyre's
resistance to heat is grade A, B, or C, with
A indicating the greatest resistance to heat.
This grading is provided for a correctly
inflated tyre, which is being used within its
speed and loading limits.
15. The maximum inflation pressure for the
tyre. This pressure should not be used for
normal driving.

WARNINGS
Defective tyres are dangerous. Do not
drive the vehicle if a tyre is damaged,
excessively worn, or incorrectly
inflated. Doing so may lead to premature tyre
failure.
Avoid contaminating the tyres with
vehicle fluids as they may cause
damage to the tyre.
Avoid spinning the wh eels. The forces
released can damage the structure of
the tyre and cause it to fail. Doing so
may lead to premature tyre failure.
If wheel spin is unavoidable due to a
loss of traction (i n deep snow, for
example), do not exceed the 50 km/h
(30 mph) point on the speedometer. Doing so
may lead to premature tyre failure.
Do not exceed the maximum pressure
stated on the sidewall of the tyre.
Over-inflation could cause the tyre to
fail suddenly.
WARNINGS
Never drive your vehicle if the tyre
pressures are incorrect.
Under-inflation causes excessive
flexing and uneven tyre we ar. This can lead to
sudden tyre failure. Ov er-inflation causes a
harsh ride, uneven tyre wear and poor
handling.
Pressure checks should only be
carried out when the tyres are cold,
and the vehicle has been stationary
for more than three hours. A hot tyre at or
below recommended cold inflation pressure is
dangerously under-inflated.
