AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
See Driver’s Handbook, Section 5.
• Optimum temperature

achieved by selecting AUTO.
•Operate withA/C on
throughout the year to reduce
the risk of misting.
• A/C operates automatically
in DEFROST and partial
screen modes to maximize
screen clearance. A/C cannot
be switched off in DEFROST.
• Recirc is automatically
cancelled in DEFROST and in
partial screen modes as it
contributes to misting.
Recirc cannot be selected
in DEFROST.
• It is normal for condensate
puddles to occur under the
vehicle, particularly in
hot/humid conditions.
Forward alert warns for moving
objects ahead with a chime and
‘DRIVER INTERVENE’ message.
It will not apply the brakes.
It can be switched ON and OFF:
The tell-tale is lit when the
warning is on.
Tip: Forward alert is most useful
in traffic on main roads. Start with
the most sensitive setting (most
dashes in the display [C]),
then reduce the sensitivity to suit
your driving style. Occasional
inappropriate audible warnings
may be given.
WARNING:

a collision warning or
avoidance system. It will not
react to stationary objects –
see Driver’s Handbook,
Section 4.
