Tachometer
Indicates engine spee d in revolutions per
minute (RPM) x 1000.
Temperature gauge
If the pointer moves onto the red line and the
red warning indicator illu minates severe engine
damage can occur.
If the engine overheats, stop the vehicle as
soon as safety pe rmits. Switch the engine off
and allow it to cool down. If the problem
reoccurs, seek qualified assistance before
continuing.
Note: If engine temperatur e rises to the point
where overheating may occur, there may be a
noticeable reduction in engine power, and the
air conditioning may cease operation. This is a
normal operating strate gy to reduce load on
the engine and assist with cooling.
Fuel gauge
Once the fuel level has dropped to the point
where the range is approximately 80 km (50
miles) the low fuel warning indicator will
illuminate.
As a reminder for the location of the fuel filler,
there is an arrow next to the fuel pump symbol
which points to the releva nt side of the vehicle.
Speedometer
Indicates road speed. Odometer
Indicates the total distance which the vehicle
has travelled.
Trip recorder
Indicates the distance travelled since the last
reset, and can be used to measure the distance
of individual journeys.
Trip recorder reset button
Resets the distance shown on the trip recorder
to zero.
Note: Once the trip recorder has been reset to
zero, the previously recorded distance will be
lost.
Gear selector mode and positiondisplay
Displays the currently selected gear on
vehicle's fitted with automatic transmission.
Main message centre
Displays warning, and information messages.
See INFORMATION MESSAGES (page 99).
Warning indicator panel (fitted in place of
main message centre)
If a main message centre is not fitted, the
warning indicator pane l will provide system
status information.
Warning indicator panel
The warning indicator panel will provide
system status information.
CAUTION
Serious engine damage can occur if the
vehicle is driven whilst the engine is
overheating.
CAUTION
Never allow the vehicle to run out of
fuel. The resulting mis-fire may cause
serious damage to the catalytic
convertor.

Sport mode and CommandShift™
1. To select sport mode, move the selector
lever from D to SPORT .
2. To use CommandShift, move the selector
lever forward to move up a gear, and back
to move down a gear.
Sport mode
When sport mode is selected ( 1) SPORT will be
displayed in the message centre, and the
selector indicator will illuminate. To return to automatic m
ode move the selector
lever back to the Drive (D) position. The D on
the selector display will illuminate to confirm
that automatic mode has been selected.
CommandShift™
When using CommandShift th e selected gear is
displayed in the message centre ( 3).
Moving away from a stand still can be achieved
using either first or second gear. This may
prove useful for certai n terrain, using second
gear for pulling away on snow for example.
Note: In order to protect the engine, the
transmission will automatically change up to
prevent over-revving, or down if the engine is
labouring.
Note: When in CommandShift, if the vehicle
comes to a complete stop the transmission will
remain in second gear. First gear can be
selected manually if required.
Electronic gear change strategies
In automatic, or sport modes (not available in
CommandShift) the gear change points will be
adapted to suit driving conditions.
Hill ascent, towing, and high altitude
The lower gears are selected, and maintained
for longer than usual. This helps overcome the
loss of momentum when towing, or ascending
hills. It also helps over come the loss of engine
torque when the vehicle is operating at high
altitudes.
Hill descent
With HDC selected in either automatic, or sport
modes, a low gear will be selected and
maintained to provide maximum engine
braking.

High temperatures
In circumstances where engine and
transmission temperatures are raised to very
high levels, the gear change strategy will alter
to provide maximum cooling efficiency.
Transmission fault
In the unlikely event that a fault develops within
the transmission system, F will be displayed in
the gear position display and a warning
message will appear in the message centre. A
limited range of gears will be available, and you
should seek qualified as sistance immediately.

Terrain response
R
The HDC status will be displayed on the
message centre whether it is engaged or
disengaged by the system, or the driver. Use of
HDC in special programs may prompt
additional driving advice , and warnings to be
displayed on the message centre.
Although Dynamic Stab ility Control is
automatically engaged when a special program
is selected, it can be tu rned off if required See
USING TRACTION CONTROL (page 139).
Automatic gear selection can be overridden by
using the CommandS hift function.
Terrain Response operation
A rotary control just in fr ont of the gear lever is
used to select the required special program.
When the selector reaches the end of the
selection range in either direction it can be
rotated further, but it has no effect.
In addition to the general program, there are
three special programs.
• Grass/Gravel/Snow (also used for ice).
• Mud/Ruts.
• Sand. When the starter button is pressed, the
indicators around the rotary control are
illuminated. The active program is highlighted
in amber, and the program icon is displayed in
the message centre.
The special programs remain active for six
hours after the ignition is turned off. If the
ignition is turned on again within six hours the
program will remain ac tive. After six hours the
general program is automatically selected.
General program This program is co mpatible with all
on and off-road conditions. If not
already active, it should be selected
before driving on surfaces which are similar to
a hard road surface. Dry cobbles, tarmac, dry
wooden planks, etc. all fa ll into this category.

This program should be selected once the need
for a special program has passed. Once the
special program has been deselected, all of the
vehicle systems will retu rn to their normal
settings except HDC. HD C will remain active if
it was selected manually.
Grass-Gravel-Snow This program should be used
where a firm surface is covered
with loose, or s lippery material.
Surfaces covered in water, ice, slime, grass,
gravel, shale, pebbles, or a thin coating of sand
for example.
Note: For deep gravel it is recommended that
the Sand program is selected.
In slippery condi tions, it may be beneficial to
pull away in a higher gear than usual.
For information on the fitment and use of snow
chains. See USING SNOW CHAINS
(page 192).
For information on the fitment and use of
winter tyres. See USING WINTER TYRES
(page 183).
Note: If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
deep snow, switching DSC off may help. DSC
should be switched on again as soon as the
difficulty is overcome. See USING TRACTION
CONTROL (page 139).
Mud-Ruts This program should be used for
crossing terrain that is muddy,
rutted, soft, or uneven.
Sand This program should be used for
terrain which is pr edominantly soft
dry sand, or deep gravel. Note:
If the vehicle is unable to gain traction in
extremely soft, dry sand, switching DSC off
may help. DSC should be switched on again as
soon as the difficulty is overcome. See USING
TRACTION CONTROL (page 139).
If the sand to be crossed is damp/wet, and
sufficiently deep to cause the wheels to sink
into the surface, the Mud-Ruts program should
be used.
System difficulties
Note: Selection of an in appropriate special
program will not endanger th e driver, nor will it
immediately damage the vehicle. However, if
continued, use of an incorrect program will
impair the vehicle's re sponse to the terrain,
and can reduce the durability of the drive
systems.
If the system becomes pa rtially inoperable for
any reason, it may not be possible to select
special programs. A wa rning will be given
when selection of a special program is
attempted. If the Te rrain response system
becomes totally inoperabl e, all of the program
indicators will be switched off, and the
message centre will display the relevant
message.
If a participating vehicle system becomes
temporarily inoperable, the General program
will be automatically selected. Once the system
returns to normal operation, the previously
active program will be re-activated unless the
ignition has been turned off in the mean time.
Terrain response messages
Messages relating to the terrain response
system are displayed on the message centre.
See INFORMATION MESSAGES (page 99).
Most of the messages th at appear will be for
information only, and require no driver
intervention, SAND PROGRAM SELECTED for
example.
