Edit Steps

  1. 1
    Learn to use the remote control and PCC (personal car communicator). The padlock icon on the remote is to lock the car. The open padlock unlocks the car. The car icon opens the tailgate, and the bright red 'panic' button held down for 3 seconds in an emergency to trigger the alarm.
  2. 2
    Learn how to use the audio system. Press the on/off button to turn it on. Turn the 'tuning' button to change stations.
  3. 3
    Learn how to use the climate control. Turn the button with the key on for desired temperature. Turn the button with the fan on to turn up or turn down the amount of air.
  4. 4
    Learn how to use the headlamps. The icon of the lamp with a squiggle next to it is the fog lamps, and the icon of the two lamps are the parking lamps.
  5. 5
    Learn how to use the windscreen wipers. The icon of the window with the windscreen wiper, if pressed upwards is single sweep, downwards normal and high sweep.
  6. 6
    Learn how to start the engine. Insert the remote control key in the ignition switch and gently press on it. Depress the clutch or brake pedal.
