button on the centre console, within the driver's compartment (Fig. 7).
The intercom is the top left hand button

To operate, the intercom button must be
pressed once. The indicator light will
illuminate, informing the driver that the

now be heard by the passengers. To turn off,
the button must be pressed once more.

The intercom can be engaged by pressing

Rear Wheel Steer system (RWS)
The vehicle is fitted with a revolutionary RWS system designed
to provide optimum manoeuvrability (Fig .13).
The control for the RWS can be found
adjacent to the steering wheel, easily
accessible to the driver. (Fig. 11, Fig. 12).
When the vehicle speed is below 5mph the
rear wheel steer system is available for use.
To operate ensure the rear doors are closed
and the transmission is in 'D'. Press the
Fig.7
button and the green light will come on and
a continuous pip will be heard from the
switch-pack to indicate the system is active.
Once enough turn of the front wheels has
occurred the RWS will move the rear wheels
in the required direction.
The driver can cancel the operation at any
time by pressing the button which will allow
Fig.8
the rear wheels to straighten and shut down
the system.
If during the movement the driver exceeds
5mph the system will automatically shut
down and return the wheels to a straight
ahead position.
Fig.9
If the red light illuminates this indicates
a fault with the RWS system and the vehicle
should be taken to an approved dealer
for investigation.
The system is designed so that if an error
Fig.10
occurs the rear wheels will be returned
to the straight ahead position and will allow
the taxi to be safely driven to your approved
dealer. In these circumstances vehicle
recovery should not be required, but the
vehicle must be taken into the approved
dealer as soon as possible.
