four-wheel drive (4WD) mode switch allows you to choose between three drive
modes: two-wheel drive (<2WD>), four-wheel drive high gearing (<4H>), and

4WD mode| <4L0>
| Rear wheels| | –| For driving on dry, paved roads.| Shifting between the
REAR DIFFERENTIAL LOCKING SYSTEM
The rear differential locking system is designed to transmit engine power
equally to the left-hand and right-hand rear wheels.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, snow, etc. and the differential lock is
not activated, all engine power is transmitted to the wheel that encounters
the least resistance, thus causing it to spin. In such case, switch on the
rear differential locking system as follows:
- Completely stop the vehicle.
- Turn the 4WD mode switch to the <4LO> position.
- Push the differential lock switch to the ON position. The differential lock indicator light will first blink and then remain on when the differential gear is locked.
FORWARD EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM
The Forward Emergency Brake system assists you in avoiding frontal collisions.
The system operates at speeds above approx. 5 km/h. The system uses a radar
sensor behind the front bumper to calculate the distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front of you. If the distance becomes too small, the
vehicle ahead indicator light will flash and a chime will sound. If the
distance becomes even smaller, the beep will sound more frequently and the
forward collision avoidance system warning light will start flashing. If
finally the distance becomes even smaller, active braking will be applied to
avoid or reduce the impact of a collision with the vehicle in front of you.
WARNING
The forward emergency brake system is a supplemental aid to the driver.
It is not a substitute for the driver’s attention to traffic conditions or his
responsibility to drive safely. It cannot prevent accidents due to
carelessness or dangerous driving.
The forward emergency brake system may not function under all driving,
traffic, weather, and road conditions.
Note: Refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for full details on the
functioning of the Forward Emergency Brake system.
HILL START ASSIST
The Hill Start Assist (HSA) system automatically keeps the brakes applied for
2 seconds to prevent the vehicle from rolling as you start to drive away on a
hill.
Hill Start Assist will operate automatically under the following conditions:
- The shift lever is shifted into a forward (vehicle facing uphill) or reverse (vehicle facing downhill) gear,
- The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the foot brake,
- The slope exceeds 3 degrees.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
The Hill Descent Control system provides automatic additional braking on steep
hills below 25-35 km/h, e.g. during off-road driving. It is a useful feature
when engine braking alone is not sufficient to control the desired vehicle
speed.
To most efficiently use the Hill Descent Control system:
- Turn the 4WD mode switch to the <4LO> position.
- Push the Hill Descent Control switch, located on the centre console, to the ON position; The Hill DescentControl light on the instrument panel will illuminate and the system will automatically maintain a low descending speed.
If you depress either the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal when the Hill
Descent Control system is active, the system will be temporarily deactivated.
As soon as you release the accelerator or brake pedal, the Hill Descent
Control function will be restored.
To turn off the Hill Descent Control system, push the Hill Descent Control
switch again; the indicator light on the instrument panel will turn off.
FUEL GAUGE
The fuel gauge indicates the approximate level of fuel in the tank when the
ignition is ON.
A low fuel warning appears on the vehicle information display when the fuel
level in the tank is getting low. Refuel as soon as it is convenient.
The arrow with the fuel pump symbol reminds you that the fuel-filler lid is located on the left hand side of the vehicle.
To open the fuel-filler lid, push the fuel-filler opener switch on the lower instrument panel. While refuelling, put the fuel filler cap on the cap holder as illustrated. After refueling, turn the fuel cap clockwise until you hear the ratchet clicks, and firmly close the fuel-filler lid.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
Driving conditions such as frequent short journeys or stop/start driving can
result in excessive build up of carbon in the filter.
When this happens, the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) warning light will
illuminate to inform you that the vehicle must be driven in a particular
manner to start the regeneration of the DPF filter.
When the DPF warning light is illuminated, provided that legal and safety
conditions allow, the vehicle should be driven at a speed of over 80 km/h
until the DPF warning light turns off.
VEHICLE INFORMATION DISPLAY
The vehicle information display, located centrally between the tachometer and the speedometer, provides a lot of useful information as well as warnings. It also allows you to customise vehicle and system settings, using the switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel. Depending on the vehicle’s specification, the vehicle information display can provide following information:
- Navigation instructions
- Audio status
- Trip computer information
- Indicators for operation
- Oil control system information
- Automatic Transmission position.
- Clock data
- Compass data
- 4WD mode status information
- Cruise control status/settings
Use the UP, DOWN andswitches on the steering wheel to change the data displayed on the vehicle information display and to change various system settings.
Changing the data displayed on the vehicle information display
Use the switches on the left hand side of the steering wheel to select the
data being displayed on the vehicle information display. Each time the UP or
DOWN switch is pressed, the data displayed changes as follows:
Car View (= Home) → Average Speed → Elapsed time and trip odometer →Current
and average fuel consumption →Navigation instructions → Compass data → Audio →
Driving Aids →Warning checks →Settings Menu →Car view (= Home) For full
details on using the vehicle information display, refer to your vehicle’s
Owner’s Manual.
For full details on using the vehicle information display, refer to your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

display after you turn the ignition OFF.
A History of average fuel consumption (previous 5 journeys).
B Average fuel consumption last journey.
C Best average fuel consumption.
INSTRUMENT BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be adjusted using the
instrument brightness control switch on the instrument panel.
PARKING SENSOR SYSTEM
The parking sensor (sonar) system sounds a tone to inform you of objects near
the rear bumper while reversing.
If set to ON in the vehicle information display, the sensor view will
automatically appear in the vehicle information display.
When you approach an object near the rear bumper, a beep will sound. The
nearer you approach the object, the higher the frequency of the beeping sound
will become until it will sound continuous when you are only a very small
distance away from the object.
To temporarily switch off the parking sensor system, press the parking sensor
OFF switch on the instrument panel; the indicator light in the switch will
turn off.
To turn on the system again, press the switch once again; the indicator light
in the switch will illuminate.
When switched off, the parking sensor system will automatically be reactivated
when restarting the engine.
REAR/AROUND VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
The rear/around view monitor is designed to assist you visually in becoming
aware of objects behind/around the vehicle while reversing.
It uses one or more cameras in combination with sonar sensors in the rear
bumper (around view monitor system only).
The rear/around view monitor is automatically activated when you shift into
reverse gear.
You can also activate the around view monitor by pressing the
Apart from the visual display of the area around the vehicle, the around view
monitor system uses the parking sensor system to provide audible warnings when
you approach an object behind the vehicle.
