Immobilising the rear windows
To immobilise the rear windows (and
operation of the front seat by a rear seat
passenger, when this feature is fitted),
press button (A) (see previous page
illustration). The LED in the button will
light up showing that the rear windows
cannot be operated by rear seat
occupants. Pressing the button again will
enable occupants to operate the rear
windows. See also Rear Seat
Adjustment on page 3 - 4.
Window Anti-trap Protection
Each electrically operated window has an
anti-trap protection feature.
If the upward movement of the window
detects an obstacle the anti-trap system
will immediately stop the window
closing, then move it downwards for a
short distance.
!WARNING:
If the battery is disconnected or
discharged the window anti-trap
feature is lost. When the battery is
reconnected or recharged the
window anti-trap system must be
reset. To reset the electrically operated
windows anti-trap system
• Fully close the window, hold the
switch in the close position for two
seconds and then release the switch.
Wait for two seconds, do not open
the window.
• Again, select the same window to close, holding the sw itch for a further
two seconds.
• Check to confirm the operation by opening the window and then use
one-touch operation to close the
window.
• Repeat for the remaining electrically operated windows.
To override the anti-trap protection
The anti-trap system will also stop the
window closing if a bl ockage or resistance
occurs e.g. in the wi ndow guide channels.
Typically this might be due to icing in
winter but could also be caused by
damage or mis-alignment of the guide
channels or seals. To override the anti-trap action:
• After the initial attempt to close the
window, operate the close switch a
second time.
• When the window has reversed from the blockage, operate the switch
(within 10 seconds) until the window
stops again (it will not reverse on the
third attempt).
• Immediately operate the close switch again. The window will now move up
a short distance with increased force
to override the blockage.
• Repeat the override action until the window has closed. Each time the
window stops, the switch must be
operated immediately to initiate
further override action.
If this procedure fails to move the
blockage, the anti-trap feature will be lost
and must be reset (see previous column)
after the blockage has been cleared.
Thermal overload
If the windows are repeatedly opened
and closed (e.g. by a child), a protection
system will deactivate window operation
for a short period to avoid overheating of
the window motors.

Wipers and Washers
The windscreen wipers and screen wash
functions are controlled by the right-hand
column stalk switch and only operate
with the ignition in position ‘II’.
Moving the stalk up or down operates or
turns off the windscreen wipers.
Windscreen Wipers
The stalk functions are as follows:
Position (A):
The windscreen wipers are OFF and
parked.
First position ( B):
Intermittent wipe.
Second position (C ):
Slow speed wiper operation.
Third position ( D):
High speed wiper operation.
Intermittent wipe
When intermittent w ipe is selected the
delay between wipes can be varied.
Turn the collar ( E) to vary the delay from
3 seconds to 18 seconds.
Flick wipe
Pull the column switch towards the
steering wheel for a single wipe. Holding
the column switch in this position will
operate the wiper continuously at slow

the windscreen, or when moisture is
present.
For the wipers to operate, the ignition
switch must be in position ‘II’.
Note: When starting a journey with a wet
windscreen, the rain sensing wipers will
not operate immediately the ignition is
switched on, therefore, a flick wipe
should be used to clear the windscreen of
any moisture.
Caution: Ensure that AUTO is not
selected when entering a car wash or
damage to the wiper blades/arms can
occur.

4-32 On the Road
Windscreen Wash/Wipe

ignition are switched OFF and ON again,
headlight powerwash will operate on the
next press of the wash/wipe button. Note:
If the washer fluid level is low in
the reservoir the windscreen wipers will
not operate when windscreen wash is
selected even though there may be washer
fluid remaining in the reservoir and
sprayed onto the screen. This is to prevent
damage to the blades , or scratching of the
glass, or smearing dirt across the screen.

press the parkbrake switch down.
The parkbrake is automatically released when the gear selector
is moved from Park ‘P’ position.
If the vehicle is stationary and the gear selector is in ‘D’ or ‘R’
and the parkbrake is applied, then the parkbrake will
automatically release when the accelerator pedal is depressed. Inadvertent operation of the parkbrake whilst the vehicle is in
motion will cause the message ‘PARKBRAKE ON’ to be
displayed on the message centre, the warning light in the
instrument cluster will be illuminated and a warning chime will
sound.
If the parkbrake is applied whilst
the vehicle is moving, push the
switch down to release it. If the switch is in the neutral position
after parkbrake application, depressing the accelerator pedal
will release the parkbrake.
Note: If the vehicle is in motion, the parkbrake should only be
used as an emergency brake.
The parkbrake is auto matically applied when the key is removed
from the ignition switch. If you wi sh to keep the parkbrake off,
press and hold the parkbrake switch down and, at the same
time, remove the key.
Caution: Take care that the vehicle is safely parked to
prevent it from rolling if you wish to leave the parkbrake
off.
The warning light in the instrument cluster will remain on for a
short time if the parkbrake is applied when the key is turned to
position ‘0’ or if the key is removed.
If the battery has been discharged or disconnected a message
‘APPLY PARKBRAKE’ will be displa yed when the ignition is next
switched on. Depress the footbrake and pull the parkbrake
switch up to apply the parkbrake. This is required to reset the
parkbrake system which will now function correctly.

On the Road 4 - 35
Park Distance Control
Caution: It remains the driver’s
responsibility to detect obstacles and
estimate the car’s distance from
them. Some overhanging objects,
barriers, thin obstructions or painted
surfaces which could possibly cause
damage to the vehicle may not be
detected by the system. Always be
vigilant when reversing.
Park distance control is always
automatically switched on when the
ignition is turned on.
Caution:
1. If, for example, you are driving into a confined space such as a
home garage, the outer sensors
will detect the side walls and after
3 seconds will switch the tone off.
However, as movement
continues, the inner sensors will
eventually detect the rear wall
and will start the tone again.
2. The sensors are not active when the gear selector is in neutral,
therefore, take care if moving the
vehicle as the tone will not be
heard.
3. Do not clean the sensors with abrasive or sharp objects. Note:
1. For reliable operation, the sensors in
the front (if fitted) and rear bumpers
should be kept free from frost, ice and
grime.
2. When using a high pressure spray the sensors should only be sprayed briefly
and at least 8 inches (20 cm) distance
from the sensors.
3. The front parking aid may sound spurious tones if it detects a frequency
tone using the same band as the
sensors.
Rear Park Distance Control
When reverse gear is selected and
ignition is on, rear park distance control
automatically provides an audible
proximity warning (to the nearest
detected obstacle) when reversing the
vehicle if obstacles are detected within
the operating range, shown in the
illustration above (between
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] ( A) and
63 inches [160 cm] ( B).

4-36 On the Road
Front and Rear Park Distance
Control
When both front and rear park distance
control are fitted, a switch is located in
the overhead console.
Pressing the switch turns front and rear
park distance control on or off together.
The switch integral warning lamp will
come on when the system is turned off or
if a fault is detected in the system.
A switch is not provided when only rear
park distance control is fitted.
Note: The front park distance control will
also operate when reverse gear is
selected. Front park distance control provides an
audible proximity warning when driving
forwards if objects are detected within
the operating range shown in the
illustration above (between
approximately 24 inches [60 cm] (
A) and
31 inches [80 cm] (C ) to the front of the
vehicle). The front sensors only operate
within a fixed speed range in forward
gears and are not effective when moving
forwards above 9mph (15km/h) or when
slowing down until below 4½ mph
(7 km/h).
If an obstacle is detected at the front or
rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be
heard from the front or rear speaker
respectively, which increases in rate as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. The front or rear park distance control
beep will become co
ntinuous when the
obstacle is detected at or within
12 inches (30 cm) from the rear or
approximate 10 inches (25 cm) from the
front of the vehicle.
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,
if fitted, the switch lamp will come on.
The system is automatically disabled
when a fault is detected.
