Locks & Alarm 5 ALARM SYSTEM Your vehicle is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. In order to ensure maximum security and minimum inconvenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the alarm system, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.
Locks & Alarm 6 LOCKING THE VEHICLE AND ARMING THE ALARM Before locking the vehicle and arming the alarm, ensure that all doors (including taildoor), windows, sunroof and bonnet apertures are securely closed. There are three methods for securing your vehicle: 1.
Locks & Alarm 7 Locking with the handset Aim the handset at the vehicle and briefly press the lock button (PADLOCK symbol). If the doors lock correctly, the hazard warning lights will flash three times and the alarm system indicator light on the instrument panel will start to flash rapidly.
Locks & Alarm 8 Unlocking with the handset If your vehicle is fitted with the Single Point Entry security feature, and was locked with the handset, the handset unlocks the vehicle in two stages: 1. The first press (on the plain button) unlocks the driver’s door.
Locks & Alarm 9 LOCKING USING THE KEY Turn the key in the driver’s door towards the rear of the vehicle; • ONCE to lock - the engine is immobilised and the perimetric alarm is armed.
Locks & Alarm 10 CENTRAL DOOR LOCKING SWITCH As a security feature, when locking, the door sill locking buttons drop completely into the door, making them less accessible to a would be thief. To enable the driver to operate the sill locking buttons, the vehicle is equipped with a central door locking switch on the fascia panel.
Locks & Alarm 11 EMERGENCY KEY ACCESS If the handset is lost or fails to operate, the alarm can be disarmed and the engine re-mobilised by using the key to enter a unique four number emergency key access code. The code is recorded on the Security card and is entered as follows: 1.
Locks & Alarm 12 If an incorrect code has been entered If the code has been entered incorrectly, the anti-theft alarm indicator light will continue to flash and the horn will sound once. In this case, open and close the driver’s door, repeat the access code procedure FROM ITEM 2 on the previous page.
Locks & Alarm 13 HANDSET BATTERY The handset battery should last for approximately three years, dependent upon use. When the battery needs replacing it will be apparent from the following symptoms.
Locks & Alarm 14 CHILD DOOR LOCKS (5-door models only) Move the lever on the rear doors down (arrowed in illustration) to engage. With the child-proof locks engaged, the rear doors cannot be opened from inside the vehicle, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the vehicle is moving.
Taildoor 15 Opening the taildoor When the release catch is pulled (as shown in illustration), the taildoor lock is released in two phases: Firstly, the taildoor glass drops clear of its retaining channel, then the electronic door latch is released and the door can be opened.

Off-Road Driving 87 BASIC OFF-ROAD TECHNIQUES These basic driving techniques are an introduction to the art of off-road driving and do not necessarily provide the information needed to successfully cope with every off-road situation.
Off-Road Driving 88 Braking As far as possible, vehicle speed should be controlled through correct gear selection. Application of the brake pedal should be kept to an absolute minimum.
Off-Road Driving 89 Ground clearance Don’t forget to allow for ground clearance beneath the body and under the front and rear bumpers (see ’Dimensions’ in ’Technical Data’).
Off-Road Driving 90 DRIVING ON SOFT SURFACES & DRY SAND The ideal technique for driving on soft ground and dry sand requires the vehicle to be kept moving at all times - soft sand causes excessive drag on the wheels resulting in rapid loss of motion once driving momentum is lost.
Off-Road Driving 91 CLIMBING STEEP SLOPES Select 1st gear and engage hill descent control (HDC) - if fitted. ALWAYS follow the fall line of the slope - travelling diagonally could cause the vehicle to slide broadside down the slope.
Off-Road Driving 92 DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES 1. Stop the vehicle at least a vehicle length before the slope and engage 1st gear and hill descent control (HDC) - if fitted.
Off-Road Driving 93 TRAVERSING A SLOPE Before crossing a slope, ALWAYS observe the following precautions: • Check that the ground is firm and not slippery.
Off-Road Driving 94 CROSSING A RIDGE CROSSING A DITCH DRIVING IN EXISTING WHEEL TRACKS As far as possible, allow the vehicle to steer itself along the bottom of the ruts. However, always keep a light hold of the steering wheel to prevent it spinning free.
Off-Road Driving 95 WADING If the water is likely to exceed 0,4 metre, the following precautions should be observed: • Fix a plastic sheet in front of the radiator grille to prevent water from soaking the engine and mud from blocking the radiator.
