CRUISE CONTROL

The cruise (speed) control system can be

vehicle speed without the driver having to
use the accelerator.

Controls on the steering wheel allow the
driver manual control of the system.

1. Speed adjustment control: The

thumb wheel is used to engage cruise
control initially. It is also used to
increase or decrease the set speed.

2. CANCEL: cancels cruise control but

retains the set speed in memory.

3. RESUME: engages cruise control

after it has been cancelled.

For more information about cruise control
- See USING CRUISE CONTROL
(page 177).

For information about adaptive cruise
control - See USING ACC (page 180).

LIGHTING CONTROL

Note: If the ignition system is OFF and
the lamps are left ON, the message centre
will display LIGHTS ON.

The exterior lamps are controlled by the
left-hand column stalk switch.

The rotary collar on the stalk has three
positions for turning the exterior lamps on
or off and positions for autolamps and
exit delay. These are:

OFF

All exterior lamps OFF (except vehicles
provided with daylight running lamps).

Side lamps

Switches on front side lamps, tail,
number plate and any other marker
lamps required by local legislation. When
the external lamps are ON the
instruments will also be lit.

Headlamps

With the ignition in convenience mode -
See LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
(page 46). - this position switches on low
beam headlamps in addition to the lamps
switched on in side lamp position.

The left-hand column stalk switch has
two positions for controlling the high
beam.

Pulling the switch towards the steering
wheel and releasing causes the high
beam to flash on and off. The high beam
can be flashed at any time when the
switch is pulled and will remain ON for as
long as the switch is held.

The second position is to switch high
beam headlamps ON. With the ignition
system ON, first select low beam lamps
and then push the column light switch
away from the steering wheel.

The blue warning indicator on the
instrument panel and high beam
headlamps will come ON.

To turn high beam OFF, pull the column
switch towards the steering wheel to
return to low beam.

Note: If low beam is switched OFF, the
rotary control switch is moved, with high
beam still activated, both low and high
beam will be extinguished. Both low and
high beam will illuminate if low is turned
on again.

Autolamps

A light sensor control, mounted on the
front of the facia, monitors exterior light
levels and automatically switches the
side lamps and low beam headlamps ON
or OFF.

The ignition system must be ON for full
automatic light operation.

When light fades towards dusk, the side
lamps and headlamps will switch ON
automatically.

At dawn, as light increases, the side
lamps and headlamps switch OFF
automatically.

Do not cover the sensor and keep the
windscreen clean. Obstructing the light in
this area of the sensor may lead to
unwanted operation of the side lamps
and headlamps.

Windshield wiper detection

This function only operates when
autolamps is selected. The side lamps
and headlamps will switch ON
automatically if the windshield wipers are
switched ON for 20 seconds or more.
Once the windshield wipers are switched
OFF, the side lamps and headlamps will
automatically switch OFF two minutes
later.

Autolamps with Exit Delay

Three settings on the rotary collar set the
time that the headlamps will remain on
after the driver’s door has closed:
• 30 seconds.
• 60 seconds.
• 120 seconds.

The message centre will display the
change set delay AUTOLAMP DELAY
X:XX or AUTOLAMP DELAY OFF when
the autolamp delay function has been
turned OFF.

Note: If the lamp switch rotary collar is in
the AUTO position there will be no exit
delay and the headlamps will turn off
when the ignition system is OFF.

Door guard and puddle lamps

Door guard lamps are fitted to each door
to give warning of an open door to
passing vehicles. Puddle lamps
illuminate the step out area at night.

Each lamp comes on automatically when
the door is opened. If the door is left open
the lamps remain on for approximately 15
minutes after returning from
convenience mode to power off.

Daylight running lamps

(Canada only)

In certain countries it is a legal
requirement for the lamps to be on during
the hours of daylight.

With the rotary collar in the OFF position,
low beam headlamps, side lamps, tail,
number plate lamps and, where fitted,
side marker lamps will switch on
automatically with the following
conditions:
• The ignition is in ON.
• The vehicle gear selector out of park.
• The park brake is not applied (is

released).

FRONT FOG LAMPS

The fog lamps can only be switched on
when the ignition system is ON and when
side lamp or low beam is selected.

With the lighting control switch in side
lamp or low beam position, press the
switch to turn on the front fog lamps.
Pressing the switch again will turn off the
front fog lamps.

Note: The front fog lamps should only be
used when visibility is severely restricted
by fog.
