System Settings Menu
The system settings menu provides access to features that can be changed to suit market and personal preferences
and to navigation system operating features. On European systems, the system settings menu also includes
computer games and a currency converter. While the navigation computer is in the navigation mode, the system
settings menu can be accessed by pressing the Nav button. Using the RH rotary control, the following features can
be selected and adjusted:
lTIME – Allows the navigation system clock to be set to local time as opposed to the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
transmitted from the GPS satellites. The local time setting is necessary for correct navigation on routes with time
restrictions and for Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) calculations. The time can only be adjusted in 30 minute
steps.
lSAVE POSITION– Allows the current vehicle position to be saved and allocated a name in the navigation
destination memory.
lGAMES – Provides access to a selection of computer games.
lLANGUAGE– Allows the navigation system language and voice (where applicable) to be changed.
lANIMATIONS– Allows the LCD animations to be switched on and off.
lMEASURING UNIT – Allows the route guidance distances displayed on the LCD to be switched between metric
and Imperial units.
lANNOUNCEMENT ETA – Allows the route guidance ETA announcement to be switched on and off.
lCALCULATE EURO – Provides access to a currency converter.
User Menu
The user menu provides access to further features that can be changed to suit personal preferences. While the
navigation computer is in navigation, radio or CD modes, the user menu can be accessed by pressing and holding
the tone button for more than 2 seconds. The user menu is displayed over two screens, which can be toggled between
using the ⇒ multifunction button. Using the appropriate multifunction button or the RH rotary control, the following
settings can be selected and adjusted:
Screen 1
lGal – Automatic volume control setting (see above).
lTel – If a handsfree telephone system is connected to the navigation computer, allows either mute (telephone
mute mode) or audio signal (telephone conversation via the ICE speakers) to be selected.
lLcd – The LCD can be set to appear negative, positiveor automatic. In automatic, the display will be positive or
negative, depending on the setting of the exterior lamps.
lLed – A Light Emitting Diode (LED) in the display can be set to off or blinking. When set to blinking, the LED
flashes when the navigation computer is switched off.
lM/S – Radio reception can be set to Stereo, Mono or Auto, to suppress interference and reflections and so
optimise reception. Stereo is for exceptionally good reception conditions. Mono is for poor reception conditions.
In auto, the normal setting, the navigation computer automatically switches between stereo and mono depending
on reception conditions.
Screen 2
lNav – Sets how audio navigation instructions are delivered. In onl, other audio sources are suppressed and only
the navigation instruction is output to the speakers. In mixed, the volume of any other audio source is reduced
and the volume of the navigation announcement is the same as the original audio source +/– 6 dB (adjustable).
In independ, the audio source and navigation announcement can be set to independent volume levels.
lAux – Used to switch auxiliary CD AF connections between Aux mode on and Aux mode off. If no CD
autochanger is installed, an external cassette or CD player can be connected to the navigation computer and
powered by switching on the auxiliary CD AF connections.
lCmp – Allows a compass to be shown on the LCD when route guidance is not active.
lBeV – Used to adjust the signal tone volume. Signal tones sound to confirm storage confirmation etc. and can
be set between 0 (quiet) and +5 (loud).

TestBook/T4 Diagnostics
No serial diagnostic link is provided with the CARiN III navigation system, so TestBook/T4 cannot interact with the
system.
Vehicle Position
If the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected, or if the vehicle has been transported to a new location on another
vehicle (e.g. by trailer or train), the navigation system will require up to 15 minutes to identify the new position. Entering
the vehicle’s position manually, reduces this delay. To enter the vehicle's position manually:
1Highlight and select Information.
2From the information menu, scroll down to the next screen and highlight and select Vehicle position.
NOTE: If the correct CD is in the navigation computer, the country is automatically entered. If you have travelled
to a new country, a new CD may be needed.
3From the vehicle position menu, highlight and select City, then use the typewriter menu to enter the vehicle’s
position (town, road, etc.) in the same way that you would enter a destination.
4Once the town and road names are entered, the navigation computer asks for a junction. This is the name of the
road that forms the next junction ahead of the vehicle.
5Highlight and select Junction, then enter the name using the typewriter, or select the correct road name if a list
of names is displayed. Crossing the junction will be highlighted. Drive the vehicle in the direction of the junction
and press the rotary controller when you reach the junction.
NOTE: The vehicle position menu provides a street map facility which enables you to check your vehicle’s current
position and assists in identifying the name of the next road junction.
Provided that the information entered into the computer is correct, the navigation system requires approximately 1
minute to determine the vehicle's position.
Navigation and Trafficmaster
Road navigation and off-road navigation are accessed from the main menu by highlighting and selecting the
appropriate title with the rotary controller. In both modes of navigation, this brings up a safety notice on the display
unit. Pushing the rotary controller again accepts the safety notice and replaces it with a menu screen, which is the
entry point for operation of the navigation function. The Trafficmaster function only operates in the road navigation
mode, and is activated and de-activated by pushing and holding the menu switch for more than 0.5 second. When
activating the Trafficmaster function, the system returns to the navigation mode if the menu switch is not released
within 1.5 seconds.
Refer to the Owner Handbook: Navigation, CARiN III & Traffic Master, Publication Part No. LRL 0586ENG for full
details of how to operate the road navigation, off-road navigation and Trafficmaster functions.

88-12 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)/ SERVICE ENGINE SOON warning lamp
The MIL/service engine soon warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. If
an emission related fault is detected by the engine management system or, on automatic gearbox models, the EAT
ECU, the ECM will illuminate the LED providing the driver with a visible warning.
The warning lamp will illuminate whenever the vehicle is driven until the fault is repaired, and the ECM fault code
memory is cleared using TestBook.
When the ignition is switch on the ECM carries out a self-test function of the lamp. The lamp will illuminate for 3
seconds then extinguish if no faults exist. If a fault is present the lamp will be extinguished for 1 second before
illuminating again to indicate a fault exists.
There are two configurations of the legend for the warning lamp:
lNAS and Canada = SERVICE ENGINE SOON text.
lAll other markets = MIL SAE J1930 symbol.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The ECM provides a voltage to the
instrument pack Central Processing Unit (CPU) to control the warning lamp:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-26 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Off road mode warning lamp
The off road mode warning lamp is available on vehicles equipped with self levelling suspension. The off road mode
warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. On vehicles fitted with self levelling
suspension the driver can enable the function using the off road mode fascia switch.
The SLABS ECU illuminates the LED, providing the driver with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on the SLABS ECU illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is no
fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
The off road mode is only enabled if the transfer box is in low range.
The off road mode warning lamp will flash at the rate of 2 Hz during the transition phase (up and down), and is
illuminated continuously when at full height.
The vehicle may be parked in off road mode the driver is reminded when the ignition is switched on that off road mode
is still active by the warning lamp flashing twice at a ratio 2 Hz then illuminates continuously.
The warning lamp will flash at 2 Hz in belly out mode. Belly out mode is if the vehicle grounds out, then the suspension
will raise to try and clear the underside of the vehicle.
If a new SLABS ECU is fitted the warning lamp remains illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated using TestBook.
The warning lamp will illuminate continuously if the voltage supply is less than 10 volts for 1 second.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The warning lamp is switched on
according to the voltage present in the SLABS ECU to instrument pack earth path as follows:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

INSTRUMENTS
88-36 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Self Levelling Suspension (SLS) warning lamp
The SLS warning lamp within the instrument pack utilises an amber LED and a clear legend. The SLABS ECU
illuminates the LED continuously if a fault within the SLS is detected, providing the driver with a visible warning.
When the ignition is switched on the SLABS ECU illuminates the LED to provide a self-check, providing there is no
fault it will remain illuminated for 3 seconds or until the ignition is switched off.
On vehicles equipped with coil springs the SLS warning lamp is extinguished after 850 milliseconds if the SLABS ECU
configuration of the vehicle is correct.
The SLS warning lamp flashes at 2 Hz when the remote handset control is used to raise or lower the ride height.
If a new SLABS ECU is installed the SLS warning lamp will remain illuminated until the ECU has been calibrated by
TestBook.
The warning lamp will illuminate continuously when battery voltage is less than 10 volts for greater than 1 second.
When the vehicle is in transportation mode the SLS warning lamp is illuminated continuously with ignition on, and will
flash at 2 Hz frequency as the vehicle rises from bump stop level to transport level on engine start.
The power input for the LED is supplied by the instrument pack via fuse 27. The SLABS ECU provides the earth path
to illuminate the warning lamp.
The voltage on the earth path from the SLABS ECU to the instrument pack has the following functions:
l< 1.8 volts = warning lamp on.
l> 7.7 volts = warning lamp off.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 88-43
Compass
The mirror's compass display is activated when the ignition switch is turned to position 'II'. If the compass has been
previously calibrated, the current direction of the vehicle will be shown in the LED display at the upper RH side of the
mirror's reflective surface. The display is able to indicate one of eight compass points (i.e. N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W or
NW).
The compass mirror circuit board contains a microchip which is able to determine changes in vehicle direction due to
the changes in the earth's magnetic field. The circuit board is located in the stem of the mirror so that it follows the
changes in the vehicles direction and is not affected by adjustment of the mirror itself.
Because of changes in the lines of magnetic influence, the compass is set for operation in one of fifteen different zones
depending on the current location of the vehicle. If the vehicle is to be driven in a different zone, the compass will have
to be reset for operation in that zone. To determine the correct zone for a particular location on the planet, refer
to the maps provided in the Owner's Handbook. The mirror's default setting is zone 8 which is suitable for central
European countries (Germany, Austria, Italy etc.).
The compass should be set to the correct zone using the following procedure:
1Switch the ignition to position 'II'.
aIf the compass displays one of the eight compass point directions, proceed to step '3'.
bIf the compass displays 'C' then proceed to step '2'.
cIf the display does not show either of the above, then the calibration button on the underside of the mirror
should be pressed and held for approximately 6 seconds, using a small probe (e.g. paper clip or ballpoint
pen). The compass should now enter the set mode and 'C' should be shown in the display.
2To calibrate the compass, the vehicle must be driven slowly (5 mph (8 km/h) or less) in a circle until the display
shows a direction (usually 1 or 2 revolutions). The mirror can calibrate itself during normal driving, but this will
take considerably longer.
3Set the compass to the relevant zone of magnetic influence by pressing the calibration button on the underside
of the mirror for approximately 3 seconds, using a small probe, until a number is shown in the display. If the zone
is being entered for the first time, the default zone setting '8' should be displayed. If the zone is being reset from
a previous entry, the previous zone setting number will be displayed.
The calibration button should now be pressed and released with single presses, using a small probe, until the
desired zone number appears in the display.
After approximately 10 seconds, the compass display should return correctly set to the required zone.
Note the degree of magnetic variation from one zone to another is only very slight. Recalibration of the compass is
not normally necessary unless several zone changes are undertaken.
Automatic dimming
The mirror's automatic dimming function operates when the ignition switch is turned to the 'II' position.
A light sensor is contained at the upper centre of the mirror which detects the intensity of light from the headlights of
following vehicles in dark or low light conditions. When the light intensity is sufficiently high, the mirror automatically
adjusts the brightness of the reflected light by photochromatically changing the mirror's reflective properties and so
preventing glare affecting the driver.
When reverse gear is selected, the power supply for the mirror's photochromatic function is opened so that the mirror
defaults to its normal reflective properties while the reversing operation is in progress.
Another light sensor is located on the rear of the mirror so that the unit can detect the difference between strong
ambient light and that attributable to following vehicle headlights. To check operation of the light dimming function of
the mirror, use the following procedure:
1Turn ignition switch to position 'II', and ensure reverse gear is not selected.
2Cover the sensor on the back of the mirror.
3Shine a bright light on the front (reflective side) of the mirror; the mirror should darken.
