Vehicle Data and Glossary
Technical Glossary
Global positioning system (GPS)
By means of the appropriate receivers, satellite
signals supply information on the geographical
position of the vehicle. These signals are
compared with a digital map and used both to
determine the position of the vehicle and for its
route guidance.
Handling control
The handling control switch affects the Proactive
Chassis Control II system.
Hill hold control
Hill hold control prevents roll-back on hill starts.
The brake system automatically applies the
brakes until the accelerator is pressed.
Ignition cut
Ignition cut operates during manual upshifts in
powertrain mode.
When calling for an upshift under hard
acceleration, ignition is interrupted (cut) in a
defined number of engine cylinders. This rapidly
decrease the engine torque and engine speed,
allowing faster upshifts to be achieved.
Inertia push
When Non-Active is selected or within Track
powertrain mode when calling for an upshift at
high engine speeds under hard acceleration,
inertia push delivers greater acceleration. Under
normal driving conditions, outside of inertia push
when maximum performance is not called for,
the engine and transmission speeds are aligned
for a smooth seamless upshift. However, with
inertia push, the clutch holding the next gear is
engaged with greater force and the engine
speed is not allowed to decrease fully, therefore
utilising the inertia of its internal rotating
masses. This in turn provides a torque impulse
as the gear is engaged aiding acceleration and
maximising performance.
Keyless entry
Keyless entry allows the driver to unlock the
vehicle and disarm the alarm by simply opening
the door when the key fob is within 1.2 m (3 ft
11 in) of the door sensors.
Launch control
Launch control is designed to give the maximum
acceleration performance from a standing start.
Motorway function lighting
The motorway function lighting improves the
headlamp illumination range when the vehicle
speed exceeds a predetermined threshold.
Parking sensors
The parking sensor system comprises four
ultrasonic sensors in the front bumper, four
ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper and two
sounders. When the parking sensors detect an
obstruction while manoeuvring, the sounders
provide an audible warning.
Performance shift cue (PSC)
PSC is an audible shift indicator, which will sound
to indicate that an upshift is required to maintain
optimum performance.
Rear view camera (RVC)
The RVC is mounted in the centre of the rear
bumper. The live video feed is displayed on either
the Folding Driver Display or the Central
Infotainment Touchscreen when the function is
active.
