Information displays

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).
5. The fuel level gauge. The small arrow on
the top of the fuel pump symbol denotes
which side of the vehi cle the fuel filler cap
is located.

Weekly checks
•Engine oil level (non- electronic dipstick
vehicles). See ENGINE OIL CHECK - V6
Petrol engines (page 197).
• Engine coolant check. See ENGINE
COOLANT CHECK (page 204).
• Brake fluid level. See BRAKE FLUID
CHECK (page 206).
• Power steering fluid level. See POWER
STEERING FLUID CHECK (page 208).
• Screen washer fluid level. See WASHER
FLUID CHECK (page 209).
• Tyre pressures and condition. See TYRE
CARE (page 217).
• Operate air conditioning. See AUTOMATIC
CLIMATE CONTROL (page 116).
Note: The engine oil level on V6 petrol engines,
should be checked more frequently if the
vehicle is driven for prolonged periods at high
speeds. The engine oil level on diesel and V8
petrol engines is checked automatically at all
times by the electronic dipstick.
Severe driving conditions
When a vehicle is operated in severe
conditions, more frequent attention must be
paid to servicing requirements.
Severe driving conditions include:
• Driving in dusty and/or sandy conditions.
• Driving on rough and/or muddy roads
and/or wading. •
Driving in extremely hot or cold
conditions.
• Driving in areas using road salt or other
corrosive materials.
• Towing a trailer or driving in mountainous
conditions.
Contact your Dealer/Authorised Repairer for
advice.
Emission control
Your vehicle is fitted with various items of
emission and evaporati ve control equipment,
designed to meet specific territorial
requirements. You should be aware that
unauthorised replacemen t, modification or
tampering with this equipment by an owner or
repair shop, may be unlawful and subject to
legal penalties.
In addition, engine se ttings must not be
tampered with. These have been established to
ensure that your vehicle complies with
stringent exhaust em ission regulations.
Incorrect engine settings may adversely affect
exhaust emissi ons, engine performance and
fuel consumption. The y may also cause high
temperatures, which will result in damage to
the catalytic converter and the vehicle.
Road testing dynamometers (rolling
roads)
Because your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock
brakes, it is essential that any dynamometer
testing is carried out only by a qualified person,
familiar with the dynamometer testing and
safety procedures practised by
Dealers/Authorised Repairers.
CAUTION
Ensure that you take notice of any
message centre information and
warnings relating to engi ne oil level (V8 petrol
and diesel engines only). Top-up the level
when advised to do so. See ENGINE OIL
CHECK - V8 Petrol engines (page 199).

WARNINGS
While working in the engine
compartment, always observe the
safety precautions listed under Safety
in the garage. See GENERAL INFORMATION
(page 192).
Do not drive the vehicle if there is a
possibility that leaked fluid will come
into contact with a hot surface, such
as the exhaust. A resulting fire may cause
death or serious injury.

The oil consumption of an engine is influenced
by many factors. Unde r high loads an engine
will consume more oil than usual. Diesel
engines consume slightly more oil than petrol
engines.
Above normal oil consumption should be
expected when the engine is new.
Check the oil level weekly , when the engine is
cold and with the vehicle resting on level
ground.

CAUTIONS
If the message ENGINE OIL PRESSURE
LOW is displayed, st op the engine as
soon as it is safe to do so and seek qualified
assistance. Do not start the engine until the
cause has been identified and rectified.
Your vehicle’s warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by the
use of improper engine oil. Low quality or
obsolete oils do not pr ovide the protection
required by modern, high performance
engines. Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specification could cause excessive
engine wear, a build up of sludge and deposits
and increased pollution. It could also lead to
engine failure.
Do not use oil additi ves of any type as
engine damage coul d occur. Use only
specified lubricants.

Checking the oil level
Note: If it is necessary to check the oil level
when the engine is hot, switch off the engine
and let stand for five minutes to allow the oil to
drain into the sump. Do not start the engine.
1. Withdraw the dipstick ( 1) and wipe the
blade clean with a lint free cloth.
2. Fully re-insert the di pstick and withdraw
again to check the oil level. Never allow the
oil level to fall below the lower mark or
notch on the dipstick.
As a general guide, if the level on the dipstick:
• Is nearer to the upper mark or notch than
the lower, add no oil.
• Is nearer to the lower mark or notch than
the upper, add half a litre (one pint) of oil.
• Is below the lower mark or notch, add one
litre (two pints) of oi l and re-check the level
after a further five minutes.
Topping up the oil
1. Unscrew the oil filler cap ( 2).
2. Add oil to maintain the level between the
MIN and MAX marks or notches on the
dipstick. Clean up any oil spilled during
topping-up.
3. Check the oil level again after 5 minutes.
It is essential to use the correct specification
oil, and to ensure it is suitable for the climatic
conditions in which the vehicle is to be
operated.
Note: The approximate quant ity of oil required
to raise the level from MIN to MAX on the
dipstick is 1.0 litre (1.76 pints).

CAUTIONS
Your vehicle warranty may be
invalidated if damage is caused by using
oil that does not meet the required
specification.
Failure to use an oil that meets the
required specificat ion could cause
excessive engine wear, a build up of sludge
and deposits, and increa se pollution. It could
also lead to engine failure.
Overfilling with oil c ould result in severe
engine damage. Oil should be added in
small quantities and the level re-checked to
ensure that the engine is not overfilled.

Maintenance

Topping up the oil
1.With the ignition on, but the engine not
running, unscrew the oil filler cap
(arrowed).
2. Add the appropriate quantity of oil (as
indicated by the message centre oil level
display). Wait 5 minutes to let the oil level
stabilise and re-check the level.
Clean up any oil spilled during topping up.
3. Once the correct level is achieved, refit the
filler cap and hand tighten securely until
one click is heard.
Note: The approximate quantity of oil required
to raise the level from the minimum level of
safe operation to the ma ximum, is 1.5 litres
(2.6 pints). Note:
The ignition must be left on during the
top-up, so that the el ectronic dipstick can
register and display the new oil level. This
enables an accurate level re-check.
