Parking Assist

R

When both front and rear parking assist
are fitted, a switch is located in the
overhead console.

Pressing the switch turns front and rear
parking assist on or off together. The
switch integral warning lamp will come on
when the system is turned off or if a fault
is detected in the system. A switch is not
provided when only rear parking assist is
fitted.

Note: The front parking assist will also
operate when reverse gear is selected.

Front parking assist provides an audible
proximity warning when driving forwards
if objects are detected within the
operating range, shown in the illustration
below in the approximate range:

The front sensors only operate within a
fixed speed range in forward gears and
are not effective when moving forwards
above 15 km/h (9 mph) or when slowing
down until below 7 km/h (4½ mph).

If an obstacle is detected at the front or
rear of the vehicle, a beep tone will be
heard from the front or rear speaker
respectively, which increases in rate as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

The front or rear parking assist beep will
become continuous when the obstacle is
detected at or within 300 mm (12 inches)
from the rear or approximate 250 mm (10
inches) from the front of the vehicle.

If the system has a fault when engaging
reverse gear or turning on the ignition,
then a single, three second tone will be
heard (only once per ignition cycle) and, if
fitted, the switch lamp will come on. The
system is automatically disabled when a
fault is detected.

WARNING:

Extreme care must be taken to ensure
that none of the occupants have any
part of their body in a position where it
could be trapped by the panoramic
sunroof when closing. Although an
anti-trap mechanism is fitted, serious
injuries can occur.

The sunroof switch is located in the
overhead console. The ignition switch
must be in either position I or II for the
sunroof to operate.

The sunroof has a one-touch facility
enabling the occupant to fully open or
close the sunroof in one quick movement.

upwards to the first position and hold
until the sunroof is fully open.
The sunroof can be stopped at any

of the switch fully upwards to the
second position and then release. To
stop the sunroof opening, briefly
press the switch upwards, forwards or

To close the sunroof
• Push the front of the switch upwards

to the first position and hold until the
sunroof is closed. It can be stopped at
any position by releasing the switch.

operation, briefly push the front of the
switch upwards to the second
position and then release. To stop the

Sunshade operation

The sunshade can be manually opened

sunshade is also fully open and, because
the recessed handle is hidden, it cannot
be manually closed from this position. The
sunroof will need to be fully closed to gain
access to the recessed handle.
