WARNING
\b
No objects that add to the total weight
on the seat should be placed on the
front passenger\fs seat. If a child is
seated in the front passenger\fs seat
with any additional weight, this extra
weight could cause the OWS system to
enable the airbag, which might cause it
to deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
\b The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front passeng-
er\fs seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system\fs function.
\b The front passenger\fs seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts more
pressure on the passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exer-
ted on the weight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled,
which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.WARNING \b
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system\fs function
and result in serious injury to the occu-
pant of the front passenger\fs seat:
\b The full weight of the front seat passen-
ger should always be on the seat cush-
ion. The passenger should never lift
him/herself off the seat cushion using
the armrest in the door or the center
console, by pressing the feet on the
floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat
cushion, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure
on the seat cushion. This could cause
OWS to disable the front, passenger\fs
side airbag.

with Sport mode).
\b To return to the D position from M or S,
move the gear selector to the left.
NOTE On models equipped with Sport mode, the
transmission will not switch to manual shift-
ing mode until the gear selector is moved
forward or rearward. The selected gear will
then be shown in the information display
(see page 73).
While driving
\b
If you select the M position while driving,
the gear that was being used in the Drive
position will also initially be selected in the
M position.
\b Move the gear selector forward (toward
"+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward
(toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.
\b If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the
transmission will downshift one gear at a
time and will utilize the braking power of
the engine. If the current speed is too high
for using a lower gear, the downshift will
not occur until the speed has decreased
enough to allow the lower gear to be used. \b
If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the
N position and the
vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-
ning) then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N to
another gear position, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the ignition must be in posi-
tion II, see page 79.

03 Your driving environmentHill Descent Control (HDC) 03
114 Introduction
Normally, when the accelerator pedal is
released while driving down hills, the vehicle\fs
speed slows as the engine runs at lower rpm
(the normal engine braking effect). However, if
the downhill gradient becomes steeper and if
the vehicle is carrying a load, speed increases
despite the engine braking effect. In this situa-
tion, the brakes must be applied to reduce the
vehicle\fs speed.
HDC is a type of automatic engine brake and
makes it possible to increase or decrease the
vehicle\fs speed on downhill gradients using
only the accelerator pedal, without applying
the brakes. The brake system functions auto-
matically to maintain a low and steady speed.
HDC is particularly useful when driving down
steep hills with rough surfaces, and where the
road may have slippery patches.
WARNING
HDC does not function in all situations, and
is a supplementary braking aid. The driver
has full responsibility for driving in a safe
manner. Function
\b
HDC can be switched on and off with the
button in the center console. An indicator
light in the button illuminates when HDC is
activated.
\b The indicator light in the instru-
ment panel illuminates and a message is
displayed when the system is controlling
the vehicle\fs speed.
\b HDC only functions when
first or reverse
gears are selected (1 will be shown in the
instrument panel display when first gear is
selected).
NOTE HDC cannot be activated if the gear selector
is the D position. Using HDC
HDC allows the car to roll forward at a maxi-
mum speed of 6 mph (10 km/h), and 4 mph
(7 km/h) in reverse. However, the accelerator
pedal can be used to select any speed that is
possible in first or reverse gears. When the
accelerator pedal is released, speed is quickly
reduced again to 6 mph (10 km/h) or 4 mph
(7 km/h), depending on the gear selected,
regardless of the hill\fs gradient. It is not nec-
essary to apply the brakes.
\b
The brake lights illuminate automatically
when HDC is controlling the vehicle\fs
speed.
\b The driver can slow or stop the vehicle at
any time by applying the brakes.
HDC is deactivated when:
\b The button on the center console is
pressed
\b A gear higher than first gear is selected
\b D is selected on vehicles with an automatic
transmission
HDC can be deactivated at any time. If this is
done while driving down a steep hill, the sys-
tem\fs braking effect will decrease gradually. G031964
