67 Instruments and controls
Automatic climate
control (ACC) The ACC system automatically works to
maintain the desired temperature inside the
car.
The system will achieve the desired temper-
ature in the quickest possible way. Note that
selecting a higher or lower temperature than
that desired will not speed up the process.
For the ACC system to be most effective, all
windows (and sunroof, if fitted) should be
closed.
Fresh air for the cabin is drawn in through an
inlet grille adjacent to the bottom edge of the
windshield. The air flows through a filter
upstream of the ACC system before deliv-
ery to the cabin. Cabin air is evacuated via
openings in the rear parcel shelf and then
through outlets on either side of the car
behind the rear bumper.
The incoming air is treated in three stages:
first it passes through a filter; it is then dehu-
midified and cooled and, finally, if required,
heated.
The ACC system also includes a charcoal
filter which further improves the quality of
the cabin air. This filter is a special benefit to
allergy sufferers, as it reduces concentra-
tions of noxious substances, such as ben-
zene and toluene. To reduce the likelihood of misting on the
insides of the windows, the glass should be
cleaned with a quality window cleaner. How
often this will need to be done depends on
how clean the air is – if there are smokers in
the car, cleaning will need to be done more
frequently.

111 Interior equipment and trunk
Sunroof (Option) The sunroof is operated by the switch on the
overhead panel above the rearview mirror.
The sunroof can be opened partially or fully. To open:  Slide the control towards the rear to open
the sunroof to the comfort position.
To open it fully, slide the control back a
second time. Press the control to stop it
earlier.
To close:  Slide the control forwards until the sun-
roof is closed. Ventilation position  Press the middle of the control (when sun-
roof closed).
 To close: slide the control forwards.
To fully open the sunroof from the ventila-
tion position, slide the control back.
The sunroof incorporates an interior, man-
ual, sliding sun blind. After the car has been waxed, the sunroof
may squeak or squeal on opening to the
ventilation position. If this should occur, fully
open the sunroof and, using washer fluid,
wash the seal along the front edge, together
with the paintwork that is in contact with the
seal when the roof is closed.
WARNING
Be alert to danger of fingers being
trapped when operating the sunroof.
Always remove the ignition key when
leaving the car, to avert the danger of
injury arising from unattended children
operating the sunroof.

112 Interior equipment and trunkEmergency operation of sunroofIn an emergency (e.g. if there is an electrical
failure) the sunroof can be operated by a
screwdriver. Remove the cover at the front
of the sunroof opening, insert a screwdriver
in the groove, and rotate.
Rotate counterclockwise to close sunroof.
Sun visorsThe car is equipped with double sun visors.
One section of the visor can be indepen-
dently pivoted to the side window.
A vanity mirror is provided on the back of the
sun visors. The vanity mirrors are illumi-
nated when the cover is raised.
Ashtrays(Option) The car is equipped with three ashtrays: one
in the instrument panel fascia, and one in
each rear door. A cigarette lighter is fitted
adjacent to the front ashtray, and there is
also one in the back of the center console.
Front ashtray
1 To open the ashtray, push gently on the
center/upper part of the front and
release to allow it to spring out.
2 Close the ashtray in the same way.
To remove the ashtray, open it and after that
pull left side out at an angle.

154 Starting and drivingDriving considerations
with compact spare
wheel/tire fittedThe following should be observed when the
compact spare wheel (T115/70 R16) is
fitted:
The compact spare is light and easy to
handle when changing the wheel. Do not
drive further than necessary with the com-
pact spare fitted – the maximum life of the
wheel is only just over 2000 miles
(3,500 km). Have the standard wheel
repaired and refitted as soon as possible. The car’s ground clearance is reduced with
the compact spare fitted. Note that only one
compact spare wheel may be used at any
time. Take care not to hit the curb and do not
fit snow chains. Leave the wheel cover off,
so that the warning text is readily visible.
Driving with the trunk
lid/tailgate openAvoid driving with the trunk lid/tailgate partly
or fully open, since exhaust fumes can be
drawn into the cabin.
If you must drive with the trunk lid/tailgate
open, all windows and the sunroof (if fitted)
must be closed and the cabin fan on at its
highest speed setting.Driving in deep water
WARNING
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) as the
tire can overheat and adversely affect the
handling of the car.
The tire should be inflated to 60 psi
(420 kPa).
NOTETo avoid damaging a punctured alloy
wheel it can be placed outside up in the
spare-wheel well but only while driving to
the closest workshop.
A general rule is that all heavy loads must
be well secured in the luggage compart-
ment, see page 118 and 121.
NOTEDo not drive in water deeper than
12 inches (30 cm) and do not drive faster
than at idling speed. Water can otherwise
be sucked into the engine. The engine will
be damaged if water enters the intake
system.
