Locks & Alarm ALARM SYSTEM Your car is fitted with a sophisticated electronic anti-theft alarm and engine immobilisation system. There are also a number of additional security features, some of which are selectable options. In order to ensure maximum security and operating convenience, you are strongly advised to gain a full understanding of the features and alternatives available, by thoroughly reading this section of the handbook.
Locks & Alarm With the key: 1. Insert the key and turn the door lock towards the rear of the car: • all doors locked (not superlocked) • perimetric alarm activated (protects the doors, bonnet and boot) • NO INTERIOR SPACE PROTECTION 2. The direction indicator lights flash three times to confirm that the car is securely locked and the anti-theft alarm indicator light (in the instrument panel) starts to flash. Unlocking With the remote handset: • Press the unlock (Rover) button once.
Locks & Alarm Superlocking Provided all the doors are fully closed, the superlocking feature is activated automatically whenever the car is locked using the remote handset. Superlocking immobilises the interior door handles, thereby preventing an intruder from gaining entry by smashing a window and reaching inside the car to operate the door handles.
Locks & Alarm Mislock If the driver’s door is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock. In this case, none of the doors will lock and the alarm system will not be armed. If a passenger door, bonnet or boot lid is not fully closed when the handset lock button is pressed, the alarm sounder or vehicle horn will sound once, indicating a mislock.
Locks & Alarm 1 Interior locking switch H2781 This is a personal security feature which allows the driver to lock (or unlock) all the doors from inside the car (while driving or with the car stationary). Press the closed padlock symbol on the switch to lock (the alarm will not be armed), and the open padlock symbol to unlock. NOTE: The locking switch will not operate the locks if the alarm has been armed.
Locks & Alarm Interior space protection* Never activate interior space protection if passengers are to be left inside the car - any movement will activate the alarm. H2700 Interior space protection (ultrasonics) is designed to protect the interior of the car from intrusion (entry by a thief through a smashed window, for example). A pair of ultrasonic sensors monitor the interior space and activate the alarm if air movement is detected in the passenger compartment.
Locks & Alarm REMOTE HANDSET BATTERY The battery should last for approximately three years dependent upon use. Always fit a Rover YWK10003 or a Panasonic CR2032 replacement battery (available from a Rover dealer). When the battery needs replacing it will be apparent from a gradual deterioration in range and performance.
Locks & Alarm 4. Fit the new battery, ensuring that correct polarity is maintained (‘+’ side facing up). 5. Press the two halves of the handset firmly together and ensure that both halves are fully joined to prevent dirt or moisture from entering the handset. 6. To resynchronise the handset, operate either button four times in quick succession. On the fourth press the door should lock or unlock, confirming resynchronisation. The handset is now ready for use.
Locks & Alarm 1 KEYS AND HANDSETS You have been supplied with two remote handsets with integral keys which operate all locks. The keys supplied with your car are programmed to your security system - they CANNOT be re-programmed and the engine cannot be started without a key programmed to your car. If a key is lost or broken, a replacement can only be ordered from a Rover dealer.
Locks & Alarm LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT Do not drive with the luggage compartment open, as poisonous exhaust gases will enter the car. H2706 To open, turn the key clockwise in the lock or, from inside the car, press the release button in the driver’s footwell. The luggage compartment and interior lights switch on automatically when the boot lid is opened. The luggage compartment is automatically locked when the boot lid is closed.
1 Locks & Alarm CHILD-PROOF LOCKS NEVER leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. H2691 Move the locking levers on the rear doors down to engage the child locks. With the child-proof locks engaged, the rear doors cannot be opened from inside the car, thereby avoiding the risk of a door being opened accidentally while the car is moving.
Locks & Alarm DOOR LOCKING CUT-OFF SWITCH H2682 An inertia switch, operational only with the alarm disarmed, will unlock the doors in the event of an accident or sudden impact. When the switch operates, the interior lights illuminate until the system is reset by pressing the rubber top (arrowed in illustration). In addition, the hazard warning lights flash until switched off.
1 Seats MANUALLY OPERATED FRONT SEATS* Forward/rearward adjustment Seats Your car is fitted with side impact airbags. Refer to the Airbag SRS section of this handbook before fitting seat covers, or carrying out any repair or retrimming operations to the seat or seat covers. H2746 Lift the lever and slide the seat into position. Make sure the seat is locked in position before driving. DO NOT adjust the seats while the car is moving.
Seats Backrest adjustment DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the backrest angle set to approximately 25° from the upright (vertical). H2747 Rotate the handwheel to adjust. Lumbar support adjustment* H2748 Rotate the handwheel to increase or decrease support to the lumbar region of the back.
1 Seats HEAD RESTRAINTS Head restraints are designed to restrain rearward movement of the head in the event of an accident or sudden stop - a properly adjusted head restraint can considerably reduce the risk of neck and head injuries. Head restraint adjustment NOTE: Where possible, adjust the head restraint so that the cushion is level with the back of the head - NOT THE NECK! H3248 Raise or lower the restraint until the cushion is level with the back of the head.
Seats POWER-OPERATED FRONT SEATS* Seat adjustment is available when the starter switch is in the second position. If the driver’s seat is equipped with the memory facility, it can also be adjusted when the starter switch is in the first position, or with a front door open when the starter switch is off. Your car is fitted with side impact airbags. Refer to the Airbag SRS section of this handbook before fitting seat covers, or carrying out any repair or retrimming operations to the seat or seat covers.
1 Seats Seat cushion angle (Driver’s seat only) DO NOT adjust the seats while the car is moving. H2752a Push the front of the switch up or down to tilt the seat cushion to the desired position. Seat cushion height (Driver’s seat only) H2753 Push the switch up or down to raise or lower the cushion.
Seats Backrest adjustment DO NOT allow front seat occupants to travel with seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt, with the backrest angle set to approximately 25° from the upright (vertical). H2754 Twist the switch forward or backwards until the desired angle is achieved.
1 Seats DRIVER’S SEAT MEMORY FACILITY* DO NOT adjust the seats while the car is moving. Before activating the seat memory and lazy seat functions, ensure that the area immediately surrounding the seat is clear of obstructions and that all occupants are clear of moving parts. H2755 Your car can memorise three different driver seating positions. To store the positions in the system memory, the starter switch must be turned to the first or second position.
Seat Belts SEAT BELT SAFETY The seat belts fitted to your car are intended for use by adult sized occupants and must be used by one occupant only. Seat Belts Ensure that all passengers are correctly strapped in at all times and be sure to observe the following precautions: • DO NOT allow occupants to travel with the seat backs reclined steeply rearwards. Optimum benefit is obtained from the seat belt with the backrest angle set to approximately 25° from the upright (vertical).
Seat Belts SEAT BELTS To minimise injury in the event of an accident, it is important that seat belts are worn correctly. Read the instructions below and the advice contained under the heading ‘Seat belt safety’ on a previous page. 1 Ensure that all seat belts are worn correctly - an improperly worn seat belt increases the risk of death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
Seat Belts Upper anchorage height adjustment To reduce the likelihood of injury in an accident, the height of the front seat belt upper anchorage adjusts automatically as the seat is moved either forwards or backwards. The height CANNOT BE ADJUSTED MANUALLY! CHILD SEATS Children are more likely to receive injuries from inflating airbags than taller occupants (see ‘Airbag SRS’).
Seat Belts Seat belt locking mechanism All passenger seat belts have a special locking mechanism which aids the retention of child seats. The procedure to install a child seat is as follows: 1. Install the child seat in the car, attach the seat belt and secure the buckle in accordance with the manufacturer’s fitting instructions. 2. Pull on the shoulder section of the belt to unreel all of the remaining webbing to the limit of its travel.
Seat Belts CARING FOR SEAT BELTS Regularly inspect the webbing for signs of fraying, cuts and wear, also pay particular attention to the condition of the fixing points and adjusters. Avoid contaminating the webbing with polish, oil and chemicals (see ‘Cleaning & vehicle care’). Three tests for checking seat belts 1. With the seat belt fastened, give the webbing nearest the buckle a quick pull - the buckle should remain securely locked. 2.
1 Seat Belts SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONERS The seat belt pre-tensioners activate in conjunction with the airbag SRS to provide additional protection in the event of a severe frontal, rear or side impact on the vehicle (see ‘Airbag SRS’). The pre-tensioners automatically retract the seat belts.
Airbag SRS AIRBAG SRS Airbag SRS The airbag SRS provides ADDITIONAL protection in a severe impact only. It does not replace the need to wear a seat belt. H2773 The airbag SRS (supplementary restraint system) incorporates front and side airbags for both the driver and front seat passenger.
Airbag SRS 1 To ensure correct deployment of the airbags, it is essential that obstructions are not allowed to intervene between an airbag and the occupant.
Airbag SRS HOW THE AIRBAG SRS WORKS In the event of a collision, the airbag control unit monitors the rate of deceleration or acceleration induced by the collision, to determine whether the airbags should be deployed. Operation of the airbag SRS is dependent entirely on the rate at which the car’s passenger compartment changes speed as a result of a collision.
Airbag SRS 1 An inflating airbag can cause facial abrasions and other injuries. Minimise the risk of injury by ensuring that front seat occupants are wearing their seat belts and are seated correctly, with the seat as far back as is practical. H2774 Airbag inflation is virtually instantaneous and occurs with considerable force, accompanied by a loud noise.
Airbag SRS Side airbags NOTE: The manufacture and materials of the seat are critical to the performance of the airbag. For this reason, non-approved seat covers must NEVER be fitted, and it is recommended that any repair or replacement to the front seats be carried out by a Rover dealer (see ’Service information’). H2761 Side airbags are designed to protect the thorax region of the torso and will only deploy in the event of a severe side impact.
Airbag SRS Side head impact protection* Side head impact airbags are designed to protect the head in the event of a severe side impact only. They will NOT inflate as a result of frontal or rear impacts. The side head impact protection modules are located behind the roof lining and front pillar finisher, above the doors. In the event of a severe side collision, the airbag pushes out from behind the roof lining and front pillar finisher as it inflates.
Airbag SRS CHILD SEATS It is recommended that children should always be seated in the rear of the vehicle, in a child safety seat or restraint system appropriate to their age and size (see ‘Seat belts’).
Airbag SRS SERVICE INFORMATION After 15 years from the initial date of registration (or installation date of a replacement airbag SRS), some components will need to be replaced by a Rover dealer, who should stamp and sign the appropriate page of the Service Portfolio book once the work has been completed. In addition, ALWAYS contact your Rover dealer if; • the airbag inflates.
Steering Column STEERING COLUMN ADJUSTMENT Steering Column DO NOT attempt to adjust the height or angle of the steering wheel while the car is in motion. This is extremely dangerous. H2674 Adjust the angle and height of the steering column to suit your driving position: 1. Fully release the locking lever. 2. Hold the steering wheel in both hands and tilt the steering column up or down to move the wheel into the most comfortable position. 3.
1 Mirrors POWER-OPERATED DOOR MIRRORS Mirrors NOTE: Objects viewed in exterior mirrors may appear further away than they actually are. 2 1 1 3 H3249 1. Mirror selection switches 2. Mirror glass adjustment switch 3. Mirror fold switch* Mirror glass adjustment • With the starter switch turned to the second position, press the appropriate switch to select the left or right mirror. • Press the appropriate side of the switch to tilt the mirror glass up/down/left or right.
Mirrors Mirror folding* The body of each door mirror is designed to fold flat against the side of the car on impact. The mirrors can also be folded back manually towards the side windows into a ‘park’ position to enable the car to negotiate narrow openings. H3250 On some cars the ‘park’ position can be achieved electrically, as follows: With the starter switch turned on, press the mirror fold switch (see illustration on previous page); both mirrors will fold back towards the side window.
1 Mirrors INTERIOR REAR-VIEW MIRROR Automatic mirror* NOTE: The dipping function of both mirrors helps to reduce glare from the headlights of following vehicles at night. H2770 The interior mirror is equipped with a light sensor (arrowed) which activates the automatic dipping function. Manual mirror* NOTE: In some circumstances, the view reflected in a ‘dipped’ manual mirror can confuse the driver as to the precise location of following vehicles.
Mirrors SUN VISOR VANITY MIRROR The driver’s vanity mirror* should only be used when the car is stationary H2666 Pivot the sun visor downward to use the vanity mirror. On some models, the vanity mirror has a cover and is illuminated when the cover is raised. Close the cover to extinguish the lights.
1 Windows POWER-OPERATED WINDOW CONTROLS Windows 2 1 4 3 Accidental closing of a power-operated window on fingers, hands or on any other vulnerable parts of the body can result in serious injury. 5 H2688 Driver’s door console The switches on the driver’s door operate the following: 1. Right hand front window. 2. Left hand front window. 3. Right hand rear window*. 4. Left hand rear window*. 5. Rear window isolation switch*.
Windows ‘One-touch’ down By briefly pressing and then releasing a switch (within half a second), a window can be opened at a single touch. Window movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again. ‘One-touch’ up* On some models, the driver's door has a ‘one-touch’ up facility which acts in the same way as ‘one-touch’ down. Window movement can be stopped at any time by pressing the switch again.
Sunroof 1 SUNROOF OPERATION* Sunroof Accidental closing of a sunroof on fingers, hands or any vulnerable part of the body, can result in serious injury. H2707 The sunroof can be operated when the starter switch is in the first or second position and for up to 40 seconds after the starter switch is turned off (provided the driver’s door is not opened in the meantime).
Sunroof ‘One-touch’ operation Firmly push the switch rearwards and release (the switch will be felt to click into position), the sunroof will fully open. Push the switch firmly forwards and release to fully close the sunroof at a single touch. Sunroof movement can be stopped at any time by briefly pressing the centre of the switch. ‘Anti-trap’ function The anti-trap function is a safety feature which prevents the sunroof from closing fully if there is an obstruction.
Heating & Ventilation 1 HEATING & VENTILATION Heating & Ventilation Care point: Keep the air grille in the rear window shelf uncovered to enable air flow through the whole of the interior. H2782 The heating and ventilation system provides fresh or heated air to the interior of the car from the air intake grille in front of the windscreen. Care point: Always keep the air intake grille clear of obstructions such as leaves, snow or ice.
Heating & Ventilation Control panel 1 H2771 2 4 3 5 6 1. Air temperature control • BLUE: Unheated air • RED: Heated air 2. Air distribution control Face level vents only. Foot and face level vents. NOTE: When distributing air to the face level vents, they must be FULLY open to ensure best performance. Foot level vents. Foot level, windscreen and side window vents. Windscreen and side window vents. 3. Blower switch Turn the switch clockwise to increase the blower speed.
Heating & Ventilation 1 With air conditioning switched off (and on cars not equipped with air conditioning), air recirculation will automatically switch off after 4 minutes operation. This reduces the risk of misting windows. To override this timed feature, press and hold the recirculation button for 2 seconds (until the light in the switch flashes) - but note that the function must then be switched off manually. 5. Air conditioning switch* With the engine running, press to operate.
Heating & Ventilation Operating advice The following procedures will enable you to gain maximum benefit from the heating and ventilation system: To achieve maximum demisting/defrosting • Select ‘windscreen’ on the air distribution control. • Turn the air temperature control to the RED segment. • Turn the blower switch to ‘IV’. To achieve maximum heating • Turn the air distribution control to foot level vents. • Turn the air temperature control to the RED segment.
Heating & Ventilation 1 Heater bypass control H2861 Air supply from the face level vents is further controlled by the heater bypass control in the centre of the fascia panel. The purpose of this feature is to enable cooler air to be directed towards the face at those times when the heater is required to provide hot air in order to keep the interior of the car warm - particularly useful during winter. The bypass is controlled by turning the thumbwheel: • towards the BLUE spot to open the bypass.
Heating & Ventilation Particle/pollen filter/odour filter* A particle filter will help to keep the car interior free from pollen and dust. To remain fully effective, the filter should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles (50,000 km), at the time of a oil service or inspection. The particle filter can be combined with an odour filter to help inhibit the smell of traffic fumes. The combined filter requires replacement every 12 months or 15,000 miles (25,000 km).
Heating & Ventilation 1 AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL (ATC)* TEMP H2734a Auto mode In brief • Press the ’AUTO’ button for fully automatic operation. • Press the temperature control switches to select the required temperature (see ‘Temperature control’) - a temperature of 22° C (72° F) is recommended. NOTE: An enclosed area in the centre of the display will show ‘AUTO’, together with the temperature, air distribution and blower symbols. • Let the automatic temperature control system do the rest.
Heating & Ventilation Temperature control Operate the rocker switches on either side of the display to set the required temperature for the corresponding side of the passenger compartment (left hand switch for the left side of the car, and right hand switch for the right side). The system will not achieve temperatures on the passenger side of the car that are more than 5° C (9° F) greater or less than the temperature set for the driver's side.
Heating & Ventilation Blower control Use the control to adjust the blower speed. Press the ‘+’ symbol to increase, and the ‘-’ symbol to decrease blower speed. The display will show a number of segments which represent the blower speed (0 - 6 segments). When no segments are showing, the blower fan is not operating. However, note that the blower speed can only be reduced to zero in economy mode. Air distribution control Press the button to adjust.
Heating & Ventilation Heated rear screen The heated rear screen will switch on automatically for 20 minutes if the engine is started when the outside temperature is less than 10° C (50° F).

In-Car Telephones IN-CAR TELEPHONES Your car uses a number of electronic systems designed to provide you with maximum comfort, safety and economy. These systems may be affected by the use of non-approved mobile communication equipment inside the car. However, the use of an external aerial will greatly reduce the likelihood of this occurrence.
Load Carrying FOLDING THE REAR SEATS* DO NOT carry unsecured equipment, tools or luggage that could move, causing personal injury in the event of an accident, or emergency manoeuvre - where possible, use the seat belts to secure luggage carried on seats. 1 Load Carrying DO NOT carry objects on the rear shelf - they could become dangerous projectiles in the event of an accident.
Load Carrying CARRYING LONG LOADS* Ensure that all long loads which project into the passenger compartment are securely restrained. H2725 On some models, a fold down hatch is fitted in the middle of the rear seat. This enables longer loads to be carried at the same time as two rear passengers. To open the hatch, press down the catch (see inset) and fold the hatch cover forwards onto the rear seat.
Load Carrying ROOF RACKS & TOW BARS To ensure absolute safety, only fit accessories that have been designed and tested for your car. Your Rover dealer will provide details of approved tow bars and roof racks. Roof racks The total load must NEVER exceed that given in ‘Technical data’, and must include the weight of the roof rack within the load.
Load Carrying Tow bar mounting points The following information locating the mounting points is for reference only and does not include details of the tow bar installation process. The tow bar is attached to the vehicle body NOT the chassis and fitment requires specialised skills and knowledge, it is therefore essential that only a tow bar approved for use with the Rover 75 is fitted and that it is fitted by qualified personnel.
1 Towing TOWING A TRAILER Towing H2712 NOTE: Towing regulations vary from country to country. It is very important to ensure that national regulations governing towing weights and speed limits are observed (refer to the relevant national motoring organisation for information). The maximum permissible towed weights quoted in ‘Technical Data', refer to the car's design limitations and NOT to any specific territorial restriction.

2 Starting & Driving STARTER SWITCH Starting & Driving 1 Once the steering lock is engaged, it is impossible to steer the car. DO NOT remove the key or turn the starter switch off while the car is in motion. 2 0 3 H2685 The starter switch is located to the right of the steering column and uses the following sequence of key positions to operate the steering lock, electrical circuits and starter motor: Position O • Key can be removed • Steering is locked.
Starting & Driving Unlocking the steering After inserting the key, a small movement of the steering wheel while turning the starter switch to the first position will help to disengage the steering lock. Locking the steering After removing the key, turn the steering wheel towards the kerb until the lock engages. PETROL MODELS Starting the engine 1. Check that the handbrake is on and that the gear lever is in neutral (‘P’ or ‘N’ for automatic transmission). 2.
Starting & Driving 2 DIESEL MODELS Starting the engine 1. Check that the handbrake is applied and that the gear lever is in neutral (‘P’ or ‘N’ for automatic transmission). 2. Switch off all unnecessary electrical equipment (including the air conditioning). 3. Insert the key and turn the starter switch to the second position. Wait until the glow plug warning light extinguishes.
Starting & Driving ALL MODELS Cold climates In temperatures of -10° C (14° F) and below, engine cranking times will increase. As the starter motor may need to operate for longer, it is essential that all unnecessary electrical equipment is switched off while cranking. Warming up In the interest of fuel economy, it is advisable to drive the car soon after starting. Remember that harsh acceleration, or labouring the engine before the normal operational temperature has been reached, can damage the engine.
Environmental Driving 2 PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT Environmental issues are increasingly influencing our lives, and the motor car is sometimes seen as a major source of air pollution. Environmental Driving In a great many respects, however, criticism of the car and its manufacturer is misplaced, for few industries have done more to reduce pollution than the motor industry. Rover is no exception.
Environmental Driving • Do not drive in a low gear for longer than necessary Driving in lower gears uses more fuel and creates more noise. Change up to a higher gear as soon as possible, provided it does NOT cause the engine to labour. • Drive smoothly Anticipating obstructions and slowing down well in advance, avoids the need for unnecessary acceleration and harsh braking. A smooth driving style not only reduces fuel consumption, but can reduce the emission of poisonous gases by two thirds or more.
Catalytic Converter 2 CATALYTIC CONVERTER Catalytic Converter Exhaust temperatures can be extremely high, do not park on ground where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves could come into contact with the exhaust system - in dry weather a fire could result. H2716 The exhaust system incorporates a catalytic converter, which converts poisonous exhaust emissions from the engine into environmentally less harmful gases.
Catalytic Converter Driving • Do not overload or excessively ‘rev’ the engine. • Do not switch off the engine when the car is in motion with a drive gear selected. • Consult your dealer if you think your car is burning too much oil, as this will progressively reduce catalyst efficiency. • If a misfire is suspected, or the car lacks power while driving, provided the engine has reached its normal operating temperature, it may be driven SLOWLY (at risk of catalyst damage) to a Rover dealer.
Automatic Transmission 2 GEAR SELECTOR Automatic Transmission H2738 The automatic transmission features a five speed gearbox with three manually selectable modes (Normal (economy), Sport and Snow mode). The selector lever is fitted with a spring loaded catch, designed to minimise the possibility of accidental selection of the ‘P’ (Park) and ‘R’ (Reverse) positions from other drive gears or the accidental selection of a gear too low for the car’s road speed.
Automatic Transmission Selector lever positions • ‘P’ Park In this position the transmission is locked to prevent the car from rolling away. Select ONLY when the car is stationary and with the handbrake applied. • ‘R’ Reverse Select ONLY when the car is stationary. • ‘N’ Neutral Use this position when the car is stationary and the engine is to idle for a short period (eg. at traffic lights).
Automatic Transmission 2 Using the automatic transmission The following information is important - particularly for drivers who are unused to driving cars with automatic transmission. • Before starting the engine, ensure that both foot brake and handbrake are applied. • After starting the engine, KEEP BOTH BRAKES APPLIED before and whilst moving the selector lever to the required drive position.
Automatic Transmission MODE SWITCH H2756 The automatic gearbox has three driver-selectable operating modes, Normal (economy), Sport and Snow. When the starter switch is turned on, the transmission automatically selects the Normal (economy) mode. Normal (economy) mode Normal mode is suitable for all day to day driving and optimises fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. To return to Normal mode after selecting either of the other modes, push the switch towards the front of the car.
2 Automatic Transmission AUTOMATICALLY SELECTED MODES The transmission control system automatically selects different gear change modes, listed below, designed to suit a variety of driving conditions. • Hill ascent, trailer and high altitude mode A suitable gear change pattern is selected to counter momentum loss, caused by the more frequent gear changing which can occur when climbing hills, or when towing a trailer or caravan.
Automatic Transmission • Cold start mode In very cold conditions the automatic transmission will stay in the lower gears for longer, to help the engine reach its normal operating temperature more quickly. This will help to improve overall fuel economy and driveability, and reduce emissions. • High coolant temperature mode In high ambient temperatures during extreme load conditions, it is possible for the engine and the gearbox to overheat.
Manual Gearbox 2 GEAR LEVER Manual Gearbox H2667 The gear positions are indicated on the gear lever knob. Synchromesh is provided on all gears (including reverse). In the neutral position, the gear lever is spring loaded to rest naturally in the centre of the gate between 3rd and 4th gears. Precautions while driving • Do not rest your hand on the gear lever while driving pressure from your hand may cause premature wear to the gear selector mechanism.
Fuel System FUEL FILLER Fuel System H2717 Fuel filler flap The fuel filler flap is located on the rear right-hand wing and is linked to the central door locking system. With the car unlocked, push on the right-hand side of the flap to open. NOTE: The fuel flap is locked only when the car is locked using the handset (locking the car with the key or interior locking switch will not secure the fuel flap).
Fuel System TYPE OF FUEL Petrol engines The RON value (octane rating) and type of petroleum (unleaded or leaded) available at garage forecourts, will vary in different parts of the world. For example, in most European countries 95 RON unleaded fuel is readily available, but in other parts of the world fuel supplies may be limited to leaded or lower octane fuels only. 2 Petrol fuel specification: 95 RON unleaded petrol to EN 228 specification.
Fuel System FUEL FILLING Always fill the tank SLOWLY, until the filler nozzle automatically cuts-off the fuel supply. DO NOT attempt to fill the tank beyond this point, or spillage could result due to expansion of the fuel. Use only the recommended fuel! Serious damage to the catalytic converter will occur if the wrong fuel is used. Petrol engines The filler tube is designed to accept a narrow filler nozzle, of the type found on pumps that deliver ONLY unleaded fuel.
Fuel System 2 FUEL CUT-OFF SWITCH ALWAYS check for fuel leaks before resetting the fuel cut-off switch. H2682 The fuel cut-off switch is a safety device which, in the event of a collision or sudden impact, automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the engine. When the switch operates, the interior lights illuminate until the system is reset by pressing the rubber top of the cut-off switch (arrowed in illustration). In addition, the hazard warning lights flash until switched off.
Lights & Indicators LIGHTING SWITCH Lights & Indicators 1 2 NOTE: If the lights (other than parking lights and headlight courtesy delay) are left on after the starter switch has been turned off, a warning chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened, until either the lights are turned off, or the door is closed. H2714 Side, tail and instrument panel lights Turn the lighting switch to the first position.
2 Lights & Indicators FOG LIGHTS 2 1 Fog lights should ONLY be used when visibility is severely restricted - other road users could be dazzled in clear conditions. H2792 Rear fog guard lights Press the switch (1) to switch on and off; the warning light in the instrument panel will illuminate when the fog lights are on. The lights will operate when the starter switch is in the second position, and when: • The headlights are switched on.
Lights & Indicators HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS H2732 Press to operate. All the direction indicators and direction indicator warning lights will flash together. Use only in an emergency to warn other road users when your car is causing an obstruction or is in a hazardous situation. Remember to switch off before driving away.
Lights & Indicators 2 DIRECTION INDICATOR LEVER Take care not to dazzle oncoming vehicles when driving using main beam headlights. H2681 Direction indicators Move the lever down to indicate a LEFT turn, or up to indicate a RIGHT turn. The indicators will cancel automatically once a turn has been completed. Operating tip: Hold the direction indicator lever half way up or down to indicate a lane change.
Lights & Indicators Parking lights The near or off-side tail lights and side lights can be switched on independently for parking purposes, as follows: With the starter switch turned off, move the direction indicator lever fully DOWN to switch on the left hand parking lights. Move the direction indicator lever fully UP to illuminate the right hand parking lights. To cancel the parking lights, return the direction indicator lever to the off position.
Lights & Indicators 2 HEADLIGHT BEAM HEIGHT ADJUSTER H2715 The angle of the dipped beams is affected by the distribution of passenger and luggage weight within the car. It is important that the headlights are adjusted to ensure that the point at which they meet the road surface provides adequate illumination ahead of the vehicle, without dazzling other road users.
Horn HORN Horn H2726 To operate, press either of the horn switches set into the steering wheel pad.
2 Wipers & Washers WIPER CONTROLS Wipers & Washers 3 2 1 H2680 The wipers and washers will only operate when the starter switch is in the first or second position. Single wipe Pull the lever down and release (if the lever is held down, the wipers will operate at high speed until the lever is released). Intermittent wipe Push the lever up to the first position.
Wipers & Washers Rain sensor* Some cars are equipped with an optical rain sensor fitted to the inside of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. The sensor is able to detect varying amounts of dirt and water on the outside of the windscreen. With the wiper control set to Intermittent Wipe, the variable delay will be adjusted automatically according to the information supplied by the rain sensor. If the sensor detects constant rain, the wipers will operate continuously at normal speed wipe.
Cruise Control 2 CRUISE CONTROL* Cruise Control H2689 Cruise control enables the driver to maintain a constant road speed without using the accelerator pedal. This is particularly useful for motorway cruising, or for any journey where a constant speed can be maintained for a lengthy period. Operating tip: Use of ‘sport’ mode on automatic gearbox vehicles is not recommended when cruise control is selected.
Cruise Control To operate cruise control The cruise control system has three switches; a master switch on the centre console and two control switches marked ‘SET+’ and ‘RES’ mounted on the steering wheel. 1. Press the master switch (the switch indicator light and the warning light in the instrument panel illuminate whenever cruise control is operating). 2. Accelerate until the desired cruising speed is reached.
Brakes FOOT BRAKE For added safety, the hydraulic braking system operates through dual circuits. If one circuit should fail, the other will continue to function, but increased brake pedal travel, greater pedal pressure, and longer stopping distances will be experienced. 2 Brakes In the event of a brake failure where only one circuit is operational, the car should be brought to a halt as soon as traffic conditions safely allow. DO NOT continue driving seek qualified assistance.
Brakes remains illuminated for more than three seconds after the starter switch is turned on, there is a fault with the braking system, and EBD may not be available. If this occurs, stop the car as soon as safety permits and seek qualified assistance immediately. DO NOT drive the car with the brake system warning light illuminated. Brake pads Brake pads require a period of bedding in. For the first 500 miles (800 km), you should avoid situations where heavy braking is required.
Brakes 2 HANDBRAKE DO NOT drive with the handbrake applied, or apply the handbrake while the car is in motion; this could result in loss of control, prevent the anti-lock braking system from functioning correctly, and may even cause damage to the rear brakes. H2693 The handbrake operates on the rear wheels only. To apply the handbrake, pull the lever up. Always apply the handbrake FULLY whenever you park the car.
Brakes ANTI-LOCK BRAKES The purpose of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) is to prevent the wheels from locking while braking, thereby enabling the driver to retain steering control of the car. Under normal braking conditions, (where sufficient road surface friction exists to reliably bring the car to a halt without the wheels locking), ABS will not be activated.
Brakes Braking in an emergency If an emergency situation occurs, the driver should apply full braking effort even when the road surface is slippery. The anti-lock braking system will constantly monitor the rotational speed of the wheels and vary braking pressure to each according to the amount of traction available. This will ensure that the wheels do not lock and that the car is brought to a halt in the shortest possible distance for the prevailing road surface conditions.
Traction Control ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL* The purpose of electronic traction control is to aid traction, thereby helping the driver to maintain control of the car in situations where one or both of the driving wheels are spinning (for example, if one wheel is on ice and the other on tarmac). Traction Control The traction control system monitors the driving speed of each wheel individually.
Traction Control 2 Warning light On cars equipped with the standard instrument panel (no message centre), the light flashes while the traction control system is operating (cars equipped with a message centre, feature a traction control message, which appears for a minimum of 4 seconds). The light also illuminates as a bulb check (for approximately 3 seconds) when the starter switch is turned on and illuminates continuously whenever traction control is manually disabled.
Parking Aid PARKING AID* Parking Aid 5 feet (1.5m) 14in (35cm) H2772a The parking aid is not infallible. It is for guidance only! The sensors may not be able to detect certain types of obstruction, eg. narrow posts or small objects no more than a few inches wide, small objects close to the ground, objects above the level of the boot and some objects with dark non-reflective surfaces. 2 feet (60cm) The parking aid system is designed to help the driver reverse into parking places.
Parking Aid Parking aid in operation With the starter switch turned to the second position, the parking aid operates automatically whenever reverse gear is selected and is switched off as soon as reverse is deselected. 2 Operating tip: Reduce the radio volume while reversing - loud audio sounds may ‘drown’ the warning chimes. When reverse is selected a short ‘bleep’ will sound to confirm that the system is working (Note that a one second delay will occur before the ‘bleep’ sounds).
Maintenance MAINTENANCE ROUTINE SERVICING The safety, reliability and performance of your car will depend partly on how well it is maintained. Maintenance Maintenance is the owner’s responsibility and you must ensure that owner maintenance operations, oil services, inspections and brake fluid and coolant changes are carried out when required and according to the manufacturers’ recommendations.
Maintenance 3 Service Portfolio The Service Portfolio book includes a Service Record section, which enables a record to be kept of all the oil services and inspections that are carried out on the car. This section of the book also provides a facility for the dealer to record brake fluid and coolant changes, as well as the fitting of replacement airbag modules and seat belt pre-tensioners. Ensure your dealer signs and stamps the book after each oil service and inspection.
Maintenance EMISSION CONTROL Your car is fitted with emission and evaporative control equipment designed to meet specific territorial and legal requirements. You should be aware that unauthorised replacement, modification or tampering with this equipment by an owner or motor vehicle repairer could be unlawful and subject to legal penalties. In addition, engine settings must not be tampered with. These have been established to ensure that your car complies with stringent exhaust emission regulations.
3 Maintenance OWNER MAINTENANCE In addition to the routine services and inspections referred to previously, a number of simple checks must be carried out more frequently. You can carry out these checks yourself and advice is given on the pages that follow. Care point: The engine oil level should be checked more frequently if the car is driven for prolonged periods at high speeds. Daily checks • Operation of lights, horn, direction indicators, wipers, washers and warning lights.
Maintenance SAFETY IN THE GARAGE If you need to carry out maintenance, observe the following safety precautions at all times: • Keep your hands and clothing away from drive belts and pulleys. • If the car has been driven recently, DO NOT TOUCH exhaust and cooling system components until the engine has cooled. Cooling fans may commence operating after the engine is switched off, and continue operating for a number of minutes. Keep clear of all fans while working in the engine compartment.
3 Engine Compartment BONNET OPENING Engine Compartment DO NOT drive with the bonnet retained by the safety catch alone. 1 RO VE R H2679 2 1. From inside the car, pull the bonnet release handle. 2. Lift the bonnet safety catch lever and raise the bonnet. Closing the bonnet Lower the bonnet. When the bonnet is approximately 6 inches (150 mm) from its closed position, push down evenly using the palms of both hands on the leading edge of the bonnet on either side of the radiator grill.

3 Engine ENGINE OIL Check the oil level weekly, or whenever you fill up with fuel. Ideally the oil level should be checked with the engine hot and the car resting on level ground. Engine Oil specification Petrol engines: 10W/40 engine oil meeting ACEA A2. Note that for 1.8 petrol engine cars only, ACEA A1 oils can also be used and that this specification may improve fuel economy.
Engine MA X MIN H2672 Diesel engines 1. Withdraw the dipstick and wipe the blade clean. 2. Slowly insert the dipstick and withdraw again to check the level, which should NEVER be allowed to fall below the lower mark on the dipstick. 3. To top-up, remove the oil filler cap and add oil to maintain a level between the upper and lower marks on the dipstick. As a general guide, if the level on the dipstick is: • nearer to the upper mark than the lower, add no oil.
Cooling System COOLANT CHECK & TOP-UP The coolant level should be checked weekly when the cooling system is cold and with the car resting on level ground. 3 Cooling System Remove the filler cap to check the level of the coolant. The level marking can only be viewed through the filler neck (see illustration). If it is necessary to remove the filler cap before the system has fully cooled, loosen the cap slowly, allowing the air pressure to escape gradually before removing the cap completely.
Cooling System ANTI-FREEZE Anti-freeze contains important corrosion inhibitors. The anti-freeze content of the coolant must be maintained between 50% and 60% all year round (not just in cold conditions). To ensure that the anti-corrosion properties of the coolant are retained, the anti-freeze content should be checked by your dealer once a year and the coolant completely renewed every four years, regardless of distance travelled. The specific gravity of a 50% anti-freeze solution at 20° C (68° F) is 1.
Brakes BRAKE FLUID The level of fluid in the brake reservoir may fall slightly during use, as a result of brake pad wear and will need to be topped-up from time to time. If there is any appreciable drop in level over a short period, consult your dealer. DO NOT drive if the fluid level is below the minimum mark on the reservoir. 3 Brakes Brake fluid must be completely replaced every two years. Check & Top-up Brake fluid is highly toxic keep containers sealed and out of the reach of children.
Power Steering POWER STEERING FLUID If the power steering is operating correctly, there will be little or no requirement to top-up the reservoir. Any frequent or regular need to top-up the fluid should be investigated by a qualified dealer. Power Steering If the fluid has dropped below the lower level mark, top-up the reservoir BEFORE starting the engine, or damage to the steering pump could result.
Power Steering 3 Check & Top-up Fluid specification: Use any fluid to Dexron III specification. Fluids manufactured to this specification are suitable for use in temperatures between -20° C to +30° C (if climatic temperature falls outside these limits, seek advice from your dealer). H2683 Check the fluid level every week. The engine should be switched off with the system cold and the front wheels in the straight ahead position before the level is checked.
Battery BATTERY MAINTENANCE Battery H2743 To access the battery, unclip and remove the battery cover as shown in illustration. The battery is designed to be maintenance free, so topping-up is unnecessary. On the top of the battery there is a battery condition indicator (arrowed in illustration). Examine the indicator periodically to check the battery’s condition. When the indicator shows: • GREEN - the battery is in a good state of charge.
Battery Battery safety Batteries contain sulphuric acid, which is both corrosive and poisonous. If spillage occurs: • On clothing or the skin - remove any contaminated clothing immediately, flush the skin with large amounts of water, and seek medical attention urgently. 3 Remove any metal wrist bands and jewellery before working in the engine compartment. • In the eyes - flush with clean water immediately for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention urgently.
Battery Remove the battery clamping plate retaining bolt; this will release the battery retaining strap and enable the clamping plate to be removed (see inset in illustration). Use the attached carrying handles (if fitted) to lift the battery from the car. Battery replacement Only fit a replacement battery of the same type and specification as the original - other batteries may differ in size and shape or have different terminal positions, which could cause damage to the battery, leaking acid, or fire.
3 Battery Battery charging As the battery ages, it may not retain its charge as effectively as when it was new. Cars that are used infrequently, or are used excessively for short journey motoring, or operation in cold climates, may need the battery to be charged regularly. Always check the battery condition indicator before charging. Batteries generate explosive gases, contain corrosive acid and produce levels of electric current sufficient to cause serious injury.
Washers WINDSCREEN WASHER TOP-UP Washers DO NOT use an anti-freeze or vinegar/water solution in the washer reservoir anti-freeze will damage painted surfaces, while vinegar can damage the windscreen washer pump. H2684 The windscreen washer reservoir supplies both front screen washer jets and headlight washer jets (where fitted). Check the reservoir level every week.
Wipers WIPER BLADES Grease, silicon and petrol based products impair the blade’s wiping capability. Wash the wiper blades in warm soapy water and periodically check their condition. 3 Wipers If signs of hardness or cracking in the rubber are found, or if the wipers leave streaks or unwiped areas on the screen, then the wiper blades should be replaced.
Tyres CARING FOR YOUR TYRES Always drive with consideration for the condition of the tyres, and regularly inspect the tread and side walls for any sign of distortion (bulges), cuts or wear. Tyres Care point: If possible, protect tyres from contamination by oil, grease, fuel and other automotive fluids.
Tyres 3 Tyre wear indicators H2703 Tyres fitted as original equipment have wear indicators moulded into the tread pattern at several points around the circumference. When the tread has worn down to 1.6 mm, the indicators will come to the surface of the tread pattern, producing the effect of a continuous band of rubber across the width of the tyre.
Tyres Punctured tyres Your car is fitted with tubeless tyres, which may not leak if penetrated by a sharp object, provided the object remains in the tyre. If you are aware of this occurring, reduce speed immediately and drive with caution until the spare wheel can be fitted. A puncture of this kind will eventually cause the tyre to lose pressure, which is why regular (and frequent) checking of tyre pressures is important.
Cleaning & Vehicle Care 3 WASHING YOUR CAR Cleaning & Vehicle Care Some high pressure cleaning systems will penetrate door, window and sunroof seals, and damage lock mechanisms. DO NOT aim water jets directly at components that might be easily damaged. H2669 In order to preserve the paint finish on your car, please observe the following care points: • DO NOT use hot water to wash the car. • DO NOT use detergents or washing up liquid. • In hot weather, DO NOT wash the car in direct sunlight.
Cleaning & Vehicle Care Removing tar spots Use white spirit to remove tar spots and stubborn grease stains from the paintwork. Then wash the area immediately with soapy water to remove all traces of the spirit. Body protection After washing, examine the paintwork for damage. Treat paint chips and scratches with a Rover paint touch-up pencil. If the damage has revealed bare metal, use a coloured primer first, then apply the correct colour base coat and finish off with a lacquer pencil, if appropriate.
Cleaning & Vehicle Care 3 Windows and mirrors Regularly clean all windows, inside and out, using an approved glass cleaner. Windscreen: In particular, clean the outside of the screen with glass cleaner after washing the car with wash and wax products, and before fitting new wiper blades. Rear screen: Clean the inside with a soft cloth, using a side to side motion to avoid damaging the heating elements. DO NOT scrape the glass or use abrasive cleaning compounds this will damage the heating elements.
Cleaning & Vehicle Care CLEANING THE INTERIOR Plastic materials Clean plastic-faced materials with diluted upholstery cleaner, then wipe with a damp cloth. Care point: DO NOT polish dashboard components - these should remain non-reflective. Carpet and fabrics Clean with diluted upholstery cleaner - test a concealed area first. Leather Clean leather trim with warm water and a non-detergent soap. Dry and polish the leather with a dry, clean, lint-free cloth.

H2723 1. Remove the carpeted panel from the floor of the boot. 2. Remove the tool kit. This comprises: jack, jack handle, wheel wrench, front towing eye and alloy wheel locking wheel bolt removal tool*. 3. Unscrew the spare wheel clamp and lift the wheel from the well in the boot floor.
Wheel Changing CHANGING A WHEEL If possible, choose a safe place to stop away from the main thoroughfare. Always ask your passengers to get out of the car and wait in a safe area away from other traffic. NOTE: Switch on the hazard warning lights to alert other road users. Before changing a wheel, ensure the front wheels are in the straight ahead position, apply the handbrake and engage 1st gear (select ‘P’ for automatic gearbox cars).
Wheel Changing 4 Positioning the jack NEVER work beneath the car with the jack as the only means of support. The jack is designed for wheel changing only! H2722 Position the jack on firm level ground under the jacking point nearest the wheel to be removed. Note that the domed head of the jack must fit into the corresponding recess in the sill plate (see inset in illustration). Never jack the car using any jacking points other than the designated points shown. Serious damage to the car could occur.
Wheel Changing Changing the wheel 1. Before raising the car, use the wheel wrench to slacken each of the wheel bolts half a turn anti-clockwise (refer to the pages that follow for information about locking wheel bolts). 2. Attach the jack handle and turn the jack screw clockwise to raise the car until the tyre is clear of the ground. 3. Remove the wheel bolts and place in the five holes in the tool tray to prevent them from being lost. 4. Remove the road wheel. 5.
4 Wheel Changing LOCKING WHEEL BOLTS 3 2 1 H2757 Cars with alloy wheels are fitted with one locking wheel bolt to each wheel. These are similar to standard wheel bolts, but have a removable cap (1) and can only be removed using the special adaptor (2) provided in the tool kit. Removing the locking wheel bolt 1. Use the wheel wrench to twist the wheel bolt cap (1) slightly anti-clockwise and remove. 2. Insert the adaptor (2) firmly into the locking wheel bolt (3). 3.
Emergency Starting USING BOOSTER CABLES Using booster cables (jump leads) from a donor battery, or a battery fitted to a donor vehicle, is the only approved method of starting a car with a flat battery. Push or tow starting is NOT recommended! Emergency Starting A During normal use, batteries emit explosive hydrogen gas, sufficient to cause severe explosions capable of causing serious personal injury - ensure sparks and naked lights are kept well away from the engine compartment.
4 Emergency Starting A B H2860 2.0 & 2.5 petrol engines If the battery from a donor vehicle is to be used, the vehicles should be parked with their battery locations adjacent to one another. Ensure that the two vehicles do not touch. Apply the handbrakes and ensure that the gear levers on both vehicles are in neutral (‘P’ - Park for vehicles with automatic transmission). DO NOT disconnect the discharged battery.
Emergency Starting 5. Once both engines are running normally, allow them to idle for two minutes before switching off the engine of the donor vehicle and disconnecting the booster cables. DO NOT switch on any electrical circuits on the previously disabled vehicle, until AFTER the booster cables have been removed. 6. Disconnecting the booster cables must be an exact reversal of the procedure used to connect them, ie: disconnect the BLACK cable from the earth point on the disabled vehicle FIRST.
Vehicle Recovery 4 TOWING EYES Vehicle Recovery DO NOT use either towing point to tow a trailer or caravan. H2671 H2670 Your car is equipped with a fixed towing point at the rear of the car and a removable towing eye at the front. The front towing eye is stored in the tool kit beneath the boot floor when not in use. Operating tip: The front towing eye cover may be secured to the bumper by a plastic cord. If this is not the case, store the cover in the glove box where it will not be lost.
Vehicle Recovery TOWING FOR RECOVERY If your car is to be towed, most qualified recovery specialists will use wheel lift equipment to suspend the front wheels, while the rear wheels remain on the ground. However, if it is necessary for the car to be towed with all four wheels on the ground, abide by the following procedure. Before being towed: 1.
Vehicle Recovery 4 Transporter or trailer lashing DO NOT use the lashing points to tow your car behind another vehicle, or use the lashing points to tow a trailer or caravan. H2788a If your car is to be transported on the back of a trailer or transporter, use the recommended lashing points at the front and rear of the car only. DO NOT secure lashing hooks, ‘T’ bars or trailer fixings to any other part of the car. The rear towing hook doubles as a lashing point.
Fuses PASSENGER COMPARTMENT FUSE BOX Fuses H2727 The passenger compartment fuse box is located behind the front passenger glove box. Fuses Fuses are simple circuit breakers, which protect the car’s electrical equipment by preventing the electrical circuits from being overloaded. A blown fuse may be indicated when the item of electrical equipment it protects, stops working. Only replace a fuse with one of the same, or lower rating.
