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.

INTRODUCTION

!

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.

OPERATION

To open the sunroof
• Push the rear of the switch gently 

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

• To fully open the sunroof with one–

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

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.

• To close the sunroof with one-touch 

operation, briefly push the front of the 
switch upwards to the second 
position and then release. To stop the 
sunroof closing, press the switch 
upwards, forwards or rearwards.

To tilt the sunroof open
• Push the front of the switch upwards 

and hold until the required position is 
reached, or until the tilt is fully open, 
and then release the switch.

To close the tilted sunroof
• Push and hold the rear of the switch 

until the sunroof is closed. Briefly 
push the rear of the switch upwards to 
the second position to tilt closed with

Sunshade operation

The sunshade can be manually opened 
and closed using the recessed handle.

Note: When the sunroof is fully open the 
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.
