PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Brake pads
Brake pads require a period of bedding in when
new. Drive with extra caution for the first
500 km (300 miles) to avoid the need for heavy
braking.
Brake pad wear warning
When the brake pads are wearing low, the
warning message BRAKE PADS LOW is
displayed in the message centre. Arrange for
your vehicle to be se en by your Dealer/
Authorised Repairer at the earliest opportunity.
Wet conditions
Driving through heavy ra in or water can have
an adverse effect on braking efficiency. Under
such circumstances, it is recommended that
you lightly a pply the brakes intermittently to
dry the brakes.
ABS warning indicator
If this amber warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or
ABS FAULT is displayed in the
message centre, drive with extra caution, avoid
heavy braking where possible, and seek
qualified assistance as soon as possible.
If this red warning indicator
illuminates while driving and/or the
message LOW BRAKE FLUID is
displayed in the message centre, check the
brake fluid level at the earliest opportunity and
top-up as required. See BRAKE FLUID CHECK
(page 206).
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH ABS
ABS (Anti-Lock Braking System) allows
maximum brake pressure, and thus maximum
braking efficiency, to be applied, and prevents
the road wheels locking. This allows the driver
to retain steering control during heavy braking
under most road conditions.
ABS optimises tyre to road adhesion under
maximum braking conditions, though it cannot
provide increased cornering ability.
WARNINGS
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal whilst the vehicle is in motion.
This may cause a light application of
the brakes, which can result in overheating,
reduced brake performance, and excessive
brake wear.
Never allow the vehicle to coast
(freewheel) with the engine turned
off. The engine must be running to
provide full braking assistance. The brakes will
still function with the e ngine off, but far more
pressure will be required to operate them.
If the red brake warning indicator
illuminates, safely bring the vehicle to
a stop, as quickly as possible. Seek
qualified assistance before proceeding.
Never place non-approved floor
matting or any ot her obstructions
under the brake pedal. This restricts
pedal travel and braking efficiency.
WARNINGS
ABS cannot overcome the physical
limitations of braking distance. Nor
can it overcome the lack of grip on a
road surface (e.g. aquaplaning on water).
Braking distance is increased on a
slippery surface. This applies to all
vehicles, even those fitted with ABS.
The driver should not be tempted to
take risks when driving, in the hope
that ABS will correct errors of
judgement. In all cases it remains the driver's
responsibility to driv e with due care and
attention, payi ng particular attention to the
effects of speed, weather, road conditions etc.

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).

RUNNING-IN
Apart from a few precautionary
recommendations, there are no strict
running-in procedures for this vehicle.
By observing the following advisory
precautions you will ensure maximum engine,
transmission and brake life for your vehicle:
Engine
• Allow the engine to reach operating
temperature before operating at engine
speeds over 3 500 rev/min.
• Vary the speed frequently.
• From 1 500 kilometres (940 miles)
onwards, gradually in crease performance
of the vehicle up to the permitted
maximum speed.
Engine oil consumption
A certain amount of oil consumption is normal.
The rate of consumpt ion will depend on the
following:
• The quality and viscosity of the oil.
• Climatic conditions.
• The speed at which th e engine is being
operated.
• Road conditions.
Drivers should expect above normal
consumption when the engi ne is new, and after
running-in if high speeds are sustained.
Brakes
To ensure that brake pa ds reach their optimum
wear and performance condition, usually
within 500 kilometres (300 miles), it is
recommended that the following points are
observed.
• Where possible, avoid heavy or harsh
braking, as this can result in damage to the
brake pads and discs.
• Avoid prolonged use of the brakes
(e.g. when descending severe gradients).
• Frequent light application of the brakes is
desirable. This helps to fully bed-in the
brake pads.
These running-in guidelines also apply when
new brake discs or pads have been fitted.
Final drive unit
During the first 1 500 kilometers (940 miles):
•Avoid full throttle a pplications and do not
exceed 190 km/h (120 mph). Observe the
national speed limits in the country in
which you are travelling.
• Do not participate in motor racing events,
test track days, sports driving schools or
similar for the first 8 000 kilometers
(4 975 miles).

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.
