To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the weights table at the front of this manual. The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel tank 90% full). Optional equipment and accessories increase the kerb weight. Driving with a roof load increases the sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds and has a detrimental effect on vehicle handling due to the vehicle's higher centre of gravity. Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure and vehicle speed according to the load conditions. Check and retighten the straps frequently. Do not drive faster than 75 mph. The permissible roof load is 75 kg for the 3-door / 5-door Storage hatchback and 4-door saloon, for the Sports tourer it is 100 kg. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load. 99 100 Instruments and controls Instruments and controls Controls ..................................... 101 Steering wheel adjustment ...... 101 Steering wheel controls ........... 101 Heated steering wheel ............. 101 Horn ......................................... 102 Windscreen wiper/washer ....... 102 Rear window wiper/washer ..... 104 Outside temperature ................ 104 Clock ....................................... 105 Power outlets ........................... 106 Cigarette lighter ....................... 107 Ashtrays .................................. 107 Warning lights, gauges and indi‐ cators ......................................... 108 Instrument cluster .................... 108 Speedometer ........................... 108 Odometer ................................ 108 Trip odometer .......................... 108 Tachometer ............................. 108 Fuel gauge .............................. 109 Fuel selector ............................ 109 Engine coolant temperature gauge ..................................... 109 Service display ........................ 110 Control indicators .................... 111 Turn signal ............................... 114 Seat belt reminder ................... 114 Airbag and belt tensioners ....... 114 Airbag deactivation .................. 114 Charging system ..................... 115 Malfunction indicator light ........ 115 Service vehicle soon ............... 115 Brake and clutch system ......... 115 Operate pedal .......................... 115 Electric parking brake .............. 115 Electric parking brake fault ...... 116 Antilock brake system (ABS) ... 116 Upshift ..................................... 116 Power steering ........................ 116 Lane departure warning .......... 116 Ultrasonic parking assist ......... 117 Electronic Stability Control off . 117 Electronic Stability Control and Traction Control system ......... 117 Traction Control system off ..... 117 Preheating ............................... 117 Diesel particle filter .................. 117 Tyre pressure monitoring system .................................... 118 Engine oil pressure .................. 118 Low fuel ................................... 118 Immobiliser .............................. 119 Reduced engine power ........... 119 Exterior light ............................ 119 High beam ............................... 119 High beam assist ..................... 119 Adaptive forward lighting ......... 119 Fog light ................................... 119 Rear fog light ........................... 119 Low washer fluid ...................... 119 Cruise control .......................... 119 Adaptive cruise control ............ 119 Vehicle detected ahead ........... 120 Door open ................................ 120 Information displays ................... 120 Driver Information Centre ........ 120 Graphic-Info-Display, ColourInfo-Display ............................ 124 Smartphone controller ............. 126 Vehicle messages ...................... 126 Warning chimes ....................... 129 Battery voltage ........................ 129 Trip computer ............................. 130 Vehicle personalisation .............. 132 OnStar ....................................... 137 Instruments and controls Controls 101 Steering wheel controls Heated steering wheel The Infotainment system, the cruise control and a connected mobile phone can be operated via the controls on the steering wheel.

To adapt headlight range to the vehicle load to prevent dazzling: turn thumb wheel ? to required position. 0 : front seats occupied 1 : all seats occupied 2 : all seats occupied and load compartment laden 3 : driver's seat occupied and load compartment laden Dynamic automatic headlight levelling 3 146. 1. Key in ignition switch. 2. Pull turn signal lever and hold (headlight flash). 3. Switch on ignition. 4. After approx. five seconds the control indicator f starts flashing and an acoustic signal sounds. Control indicator f 3 119. Every time the ignition is switched on, f flashes as a reminder for approx. four seconds. 146 Lighting For deactivation, operate the same procedure as described above. f will not flash when function is deactivated. Daytime running lights Daytime running lights increase visibility of the vehicle during daylight. They are switched on automatically when ignition is on. If the vehicle is equipped with automatic light control function, the system switches between daytime running light and low/high beam automatically depending on the lighting conditions and information given by the rain sensor system. Automatic light control 3 143. Adaptive forward lighting The Adaptive forward lighting functions are only available with BiXenon headlights. Light range, light distribution and intensity of light are variably triggered depending on the light conditions, weather and road type. With the light switch in position AUTO all lighting functions are available. The following functions are available also with light switch in position 9: ● dynamic curve lighting ● cornering light ● reversing function ● dynamic automatic headlight levelling Playstreet lighting Activated automatically at low speed up to approx. 20 mph. The light beam is turned at an angle of 8° to the roadside. Town lighting Activated automatically at a speed range between approx. 25 and 34 mph and when street lights are detected by the light sensor. The light range is reduced by an extended light distribution. Country lighting Activated automatically at a speed range between approx. 34 and 70 mph. The beam of light and the brightness is different between the left and the right side. Motorway lighting Activated automatically at a speed above approx. 70 mph and minimal steering movements. It switches on after a delay or directly when the vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The light beam is longer and brighter. Adverse weather lighting Activated automatically up to a speed of approx. 43 mph, when the rain sensor recognizes condensation or the wiper operates continuously. The range, distribution and light intensity is regulated variably depending on visibility. Lighting Dynamic curve lighting The light beam pivots based on steering wheel angle and speed, improving lighting in curves. Control indicator f 3 119. Corner lighting On tight bends or when turning off, depending on the steering angle or the turn signal light, an additional left or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at a right angle to the direction of travel. It is activated up to a speed of 25 mph. Control indicator f 3 119. Reversing function 147 Activation If the headlights are on and reverse gear is engaged, both corner lights are switched on. They remain illuminated for 20 seconds after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than 10 mph in a forward gear. High Beam Assist This feature allows high beam as main driving light by night and when vehicle speed is faster than 25 mph. It switches to low beam when: ● The camera in the windscreen detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles. ● The vehicle speed is slower than 12 mph. ● It is foggy or snowy. ● Driving in urban areas. If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high beam. The high beam assist is activated by pushing the indicator lever twice with a speed above 25 mph. The green control indicator l illuminates continuously when the assist is activated, the blue one 7 illuminates when high beam is on. Control indicator l 3 119. Deactivation Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are switched on. 148 Lighting If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is on, the high beam assist will be deactivated. If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is off, the high beam assist will stay activated. High beam assist is always active after the ignition is switched on. Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation Intelligent light ranging uses the properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to extend the light range of the low beam by up to 400 metres and additionally activates automatic high beam without dazzling or disturbing oncoming or preceding traffic. High beam is deactivated and the low beam light range is reduced to avoid dazzling when the following restrictions are detected by the front camera in the windscreen: ● A preceding vehicle is recognised. ● An oncoming vehicle is recognised. ● Urban areas are entered. ● It is foggy or snowy. If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high beam. When the system is active, the front camera monitors the area ahead of the vehicle and ensures an optimum light distribution for maximum driver vision during almost all conditions. Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation therefore reduces the difference between conventional low and high beam without drastic changes in lightrange, distribution and intensity. A special topographical evaluation function detects preceding vehicles on hills or slopes by recognising the rear light moving ahead. The system adjusts the height of the light range to ensure optimum illumination on the road ahead without dazzling. Activation Intelligent light ranging and automatic high beam activation are switched on together by pushing the indicator lever twice. They can be switched on with ignition on. Lighting Automatic high beam activation operates at a speed above 25 mph and deactivates below 12 mph. Intelligent light ranging operates above 35 mph. The green control indicator l illuminates continuously when the function is activated, the blue one 7 illuminates when high beam switches on automatically. Deactivation Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are switched on. Fault in adaptive forward lighting system When the system detects a failure in the Adaptive forward lighting system, the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic. If this is not possible the affected headlight will be automatically switched off. In any case one headlight will stay on. A warning is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. 149 In the event of an accident with airbag deployment the hazard warning flashers are activated automatically.

Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others. All systems function during an Autostop, but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle speed is reduced. Stop-start system 3 168. Idle boost If charging of the vehicle battery is required due to battery condition, the power output of the generator must be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible. A message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals. Use only floor mats which fit properly and are fixed by the retainers on the driver's side. Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered but may require increased effort. Control indicator c 3 116. Caution Vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering: If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and is held in that position for more than 15 seconds, damage may occur to the power steering system and there may be loss of power steering assist. Starting and operating New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. During the first drive, smoke may occur because of wax and oil evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes. During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the battery. Diesel particle filter 3 171. Driving and operating Ignition switch positions ● power windows ● sunroof ● power outlets Power to the Infotainment system will continue to operate for 30 minutes or until the key is removed from the ignition switch, regardless of whether any door will be opened.

Starting the vehicle at low temperatures Retained power off The following electronic systems can work until the driver's door is opened or at the latest for ten minutes after the ignition is switched off: 167 Manual transmission: operate clutch. Automatic transmission: operate brake and move the selector lever to P or N. Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Starting the engine without additional heaters is possible down to -25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °C for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity, the correct fuel, performed services and a sufficiently charged vehicle battery. With temperatures below -30 °C the automatic transmission needs a warming phase of approx. five minutes. The selector lever must be in position P. 168 Driving and operating Automatic Starter Control Overrun cut-off This function controls the engine starting procedure. The driver does not need to hold the key in position 3. Once applied, the system will go on starting automatically until the engine is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine starts running after a short delay. Possible reasons for a non-starting engine: ● Clutch pedal not operated (manual transmission). ● Brake pedal not operated or selector lever not in P or N (automatic transmission). ● Timeout occurred. The fuel supply is automatically cutoff during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released. Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine temperature is cold. The limitation is to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine. Deactivation Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged for a restart. Activation The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the vehicle starts-off and the conditions as stated below in this section are fulfilled. Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing eco. The deactivation is indicated when the LED in the button extinguishes. Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: ● Depress the clutch pedal. ● Move the selector lever to neutral. ● Release the clutch pedal. Driving and operating The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on. An Autostop is indicated by the needle at the AUTOSTOP position in the tachometer. During an Autostop, the heating and brake performance will be maintained. Caution The power steering assist may be reduced during an Autostop. Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled: ● The stop-start system is not manually deactivated. ● The bonnet is fully closed. ● The driver's door is closed or the driver's seat belt is fastened. ● The vehicle battery is sufficiently charged and in good condition. ● The engine is warmed-up. ● The engine coolant temperature is not too high. ● The engine exhaust temperature is not too high, e.g. after driving with high engine load. ● The ambient temperature is above -5 °C. ● The climate control system allows an Autostop. ● The brake vacuum is sufficient. ● The self-cleaning function of the diesel particle filter is not active. ● The vehicle was driven at least at walking speed since the last Autostop. 169 Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See "Climate control" chapter for more details 3 158. Immediately after motorway driving, an Autostop may be inhibited. New vehicle running-in 3 166. Vehicle battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system. Power saving measures During an Autostop, several electric features, e.g. auxiliary electric heater or heated rear window are disabled or switched into a power saving mode. The fan speed of the climate control system is reduced to save power. Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine. 170 Driving and operating The engine start is indicated by the needle at the idle speed position in the tachometer. If the selector lever is shifted out of neutral before depressing the clutch first, control indicator - illuminates or is shown as a symbol in the Driver Information Centre. Control indicator - 3 115. Restart of the engine by the stopstart system The selector lever must be in neutral to enable an automatic restart. If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system: ● The stop-start system is manually deactivated. ● The bonnet is opened. ● The driver's seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened. ● The engine temperature is too low. ● The charging level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level. ● The brake vacuum is not sufficient. ● The vehicle is driven at least at walking speed. ● The climate control system requests an engine start. ● The air conditioning is manually switched on. If the bonnet is not fully closed, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. If an electric accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable.

Activate the manual parking brake without pressing the release button. Apply as firmly as possible on a downhill slope or uphill slope. Depress brake pedal at the same time to reduce operating force. For vehicles with electric parking brake, pull switch m for approx. one second. The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator m illuminates 3 115. Switch off the engine. If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition key. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear or set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition Driving and operating ● ● ● ● ● key. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb. Close the windows and the sunroof. Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is felt to engage. For vehicles with automatic transmission, the key can only be removed when the selector lever is in position P. Lock the vehicle. Activate the anti-theft alarm system. The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched off 3 230. Caution After running at high engine speeds or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off, in order to protect the turbocharger. Notice In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is turned off automatically if the vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain time. 171 Engine exhaust 9 Danger Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled. If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows. Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop. Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle. Diesel particle filter The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take up to 25 minutes. Typically it 172 Driving and operating needs between seven and twelve minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal. % illuminates when diesel particle filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible. % flashes when diesel particle filter has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process immediately to avoid damage to the engine. Cleaning process Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically. If the cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by control indicator %. Simultaneously Diesel partic. filter is full continue driving or warning code 55 appears in the Driver Information Centre. To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2000 revolutions per minute. Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started. If control indicator g illuminates additionally, cleaning is not possible, seek the assistance of a workshop. Caution If the cleaning process is interrupted, there is a risk of provoking severe engine damage. Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads. The control indicator % extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete. Catalytic converter The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases. Caution Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 216, 3 297 could damage the catalytic converter or electronic components. Unburnt petrol will overheat and damage the catalytic converter. Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing. In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop as soon as possible. In an emergency, driving Driving and operating can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low. Automatic transmission The automatic transmission permits automatic gearshifting (automatic mode) or manual gearshifting (manual mode). Manual shifting is possible in manual mode by tapping the selector lever 3 175. 173 In automatic mode, the driving programme is indicated by D in the Driver Information Centre. R indicates reverse gear. N indicates neutral position. P indicates park position. Midlevel display: in manual mode the number of the selected gear is indicated. Transmission display The mode or selected gear is shown in the transmission display. Uplevel display: in manual mode, M and the number of the selected gear is indicated. 174 Driving and operating Selector lever < : manual mode upshifting: move selector lever in position M and tap upwards ] : manual mode downshifting: move selector lever in position M and tap rearwards The selector lever is locked in P and can only be moved when the ignition is on and the brake pedal is applied. P : park position, press release button, wheels are locked, engage only when the vehicle is stationary and parking brake is applied R : reverse gear, press release button, engage only when vehicle is stationary N : neutral D : automatic mode M : manual mode: move selector lever from D to the left. The engine can only be started with the lever in position P or N. When position N is selected, press the brake pedal or apply the parking brake before starting. Do not accelerate while engaging a gear. Never depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time. When a gear is engaged, the vehicle slowly begins to creep when the brake is released. Engine braking To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill, see manual mode. Rocking the vehicle Without brake pedal applied, the control indicator j illuminates. If the selector lever is not in P when the ignition is switched off, the control indicators j and P flash. To engage P or R, press the release button. Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or snow. Move the selector lever between D and R in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration. Driving and operating Parking Apply the parking brake and engage P. The ignition key can only be removed when the selector lever is in position P. Manual mode The selected gear is indicated in the instrument cluster. If a higher gear is selected when vehicle speed is too low, or a lower gear when vehicle speed is too high, the shift is not executed. This can cause a message in the Driver Information Centre. In manual mode, no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high engine revolutions. Electronic driving programmes ● Move selector lever out of position D towards the left to select manual mode M. Tap selector lever forwards < : shift to a higher gear backwards ] : shift to a lower gear ● Following a cold start, the operating temperature programme increases engine speed to quickly bring the catalytic converter to the required temperature. The automatic neutral shift function automatically shifts to idling when the vehicle is stopped with a forward gear engaged and the brake pedal is pressed. ● ● ● 175 When SPORT mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine speeds (unless cruise control is on). SPORT mode 3 182. Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting points when driving up inclines or down hills. When starting off in snowy or icy conditions or on other slippery surfaces, the electronic transmission control selects a higher gear automatically. Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed down completely in automatic mode, the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed. Fault In the event of a fault, control indicator g illuminates. Additionally, a code number or a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 126. 176 Driving and operating 3. Insert a screwdriver into the opening as far as it will go and move the selector lever out of P or N. If P or N is engaged again, the selector lever will be locked in position again. Have the cause of the power supply interruption remedied by a workshop. 4. Mount the selector lever trim onto the centre console and refit. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Continued travel is possible with manual shifting. Only the highest gear is available. Depending on the fault, 2nd gear may also be available in manual mode. Shift only when vehicle is at a standstill. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Interruption of power supply In the event of an interruption of power supply, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the P position. The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. If the vehicle battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 281. If the vehicle battery is not the cause of the fault, release the selector lever. 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Release the selector lever trim from the centre console at the front, fold it upwards and rotate it to the left. Driving and operating Manual transmission Caution It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever. Upshift indication 3 116. To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary, depress clutch pedal, press the release button on the selector lever and engage the gear. If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest. 177 Brakes The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey. When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed. Control indicator R 3 115. Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking. 178 Driving and operating ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking. ABS control is made apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process. For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal. After starting off the system performs a self-test which may be audible. Control indicator u 3 116. Adaptive brake light During full braking, all three brake lights flash for the duration of ABS control. Parking brake Fault 9 Warning Manual parking brake If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. 9 Warning Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever. Driving and operating To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the brake pedal at the same time. Control indicator R 3 115. Electric parking brake adequate force. For maximum force, e.g. parking with trailer or on inclines, pull switch m twice. The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator m illuminates 3 115. The electric parking brake can always be activated, even if the ignition is off. Do not operate electric parking brake system too often without engine running, as this will discharge the vehicle battery. Before leaving the vehicle, check the electric parking brake status. Control indicator m 3 115. Applying when vehicle is stationary 9 Warning Pull switch m for approx. one second, the electric parking brake operates automatically with Releasing Switch on ignition. Keep brake pedal depressed and then push switch m. Drive away function Vehicles with manual transmission: Depressing the clutch pedal and then slightly releasing the clutch pedal and slightly depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking 179 brake automatically. This is not possible when the switch m is pulled at the same time. Vehicles with automatic transmission: Engaging D and then depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking brake automatically. This is not possible when the switch m is pulled at the same time. Dynamic braking when vehicle is moving When the vehicle is moving and the switch m is kept pulled, the electric parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle, but will not apply statically. As soon as the switch m is released, dynamic braking will be stopped. Fault Failure mode of electric parking brake is indicated by control indicator j and by a code number or a vehicle message which is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 126. 180 Driving and operating Apply electric parking brake: pull and hold the switch m for more than five seconds . If control indicator m illuminates, electric parking brake is applied. Release electric parking brake: push and hold the switch m for more than two seconds. If control indicator m extinguishes, electric parking brake is released. Control indicator m flashes: electric parking brake is not fully applied or released. When continuously flashing, release electric parking brake and retry applying. Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking). Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released. Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on inclines. When releasing the brake pedal after stopping on an incline, the brakes remain on for a further two seconds. The brakes release automatically as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate. The hill start assist is not active during an Autostop. Ride control systems Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) 3 181. TC improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip, by preventing the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. TC is operational after each engine start as soon as control indicator b extinguishes. When TC operates b flashes. Driving and operating 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Control indicator b 3 117. Deactivation TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press b briefly to deactivate TC, k illuminates. Deactivation is displayed as status message in the Driver Information Centre. TC is reactivated by pressing b again. TC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. ESC operates in combination with the Traction Control system (TC) 3 180. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces. ESC is operational after each engine start as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes. 181 When ESC operates b flashes. 9 Warning Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions. Control indicator b 3 117. Deactivation 182 Driving and operating For a more sporty behaviour ESC and TC can be deactivated separately: ● Press b briefly: only Traction control system is inactive, ESC remains active, k illuminates. ● Press and hold b for min. five seconds: TC and ESC are deactivated, k and n illuminate. Additionally, the selected mode is displayed as status message in the Driver Information Centre. If the vehicle comes into threshold with deactivated ESP, the system will reactivate ESP for the time duration of the threshold, when the brake pedal is depressed once. ESC is reactivated by pressing b again. If the TC system was previously disabled, both TC and ESC are reactivated. ESC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. Deactivation, VXR version For very high-performance driving ESC and TC can be deactivated separately. The following modes are selectable: ● Press b briefly: only Traction control system is inactive, ESC remains active, k illuminates. ● Press b twice briefly within 2 seconds: TC is inactive, ESC is operable without engine power reduction, k and n illuminate. ● Hold b pressed for min. 5 seconds: TC and ESC are completely inactive, k and n illuminate. Additionally the selected mode is displayed as status message in the Driver Information Centre. On VXR version TC and ESC remain deactivated even if the vehicle comes into threshold with unstable driveability. ESC is reactivated by pressing b again. If the TC system was previously disabled, both TC and ESC are reactivated. ESC is also reactivated the next time the ignition is switched on. Interactive driving system Flex Ride Flex Ride driving system allows the driver to select between three driving modes: ● SPORT mode: press SPORT, LED illuminates. ● TOUR mode: press TOUR, LED illuminates. ● NORMAL mode: both SPORT and TOUR are not pressed, no LED illuminates. Driving and operating Deactivate SPORT mode and TOUR mode by pressing the corresponding button once more. In each driving mode, Flex Ride networks the following electronic systems: ● Continuous Damping Control ● Accelerator Pedal Control ● Steering Control ● Electronic Stability Control (ESC) ● Antilock brake system (ABS) with cornering brake control (CBC) ● Automatic transmission SPORT mode The settings of the systems are adapted to a sportier driving style: ● Damping of shock absorbers reacts more stiffly to provide better contact with the road surface. ● The engine reacts more quickly to the accelerator pedal. ● Steering support is reduced. ● Shift points of automatic transmission occur later. ● With SPORT mode activated, the illumination of main instruments changes from white to red. TOUR mode The settings of the systems are adapted to a comfort driving style: ● Damping of shock absorbers reacts more softly. ● Accelerator pedal reacts with standard settings. ● Steering support is in standard mode. ● ● 183 Shift points of automatic transmission occur in a comfort mode. Illumination of main instruments is white. NORMAL mode All settings of the systems are adapted to standard values. Drive mode control Within each manual selected driving mode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL, the Drive Mode Control (DMC) detects and analyses continuously the real driving characteristic, responses by the driver, and the active dynamic state of the vehicle. If necessary, the control unit of DMC automatically changes the settings within the selected driving mode or, when recognising greater variations, the driving mode is changed for the length of variation. If, for example, NORMAL mode is selected and DMC detects a sporty driving behaviour, DMC changes several settings of the Normal mode 184 Driving and operating into sporty settings. The DMC changes to SPORT mode in case of very sporty driving behaviour. If, for example, TOUR mode is selected and whilst driving on a winding road a sudden hard brake is necessary, DMC will detect the dynamic vehicle condition and changes the settings for suspension to SPORT mode to increase vehicle stability. When the driving characteristic or the dynamic vehicle state returns to former state, DMC will change the settings to the preselected driving mode. Personalised settings in the Sport mode The driver can select the functions of the SPORT mode when SPORT is pressed. These settings can be changed in the Settings menu in the Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 132. Flex Ride - VXR Version The VXR Version of Flex Ride system works in the same way as the standard Flex Ride system with the difference that the modes have a more sporty characteristic. VXR Flex Ride driving system allows the driver to select between three driving modes: ● VXR mode: press VXR, LED illuminates. ● SPORT mode: press SPORT, LED illuminates. ● NORMAL mode: neither SPORT nor VXR is pressed, no LED illuminates. Deactivate SPORT mode and VXR mode by pressing the corresponding button once more. In each driving mode, VXR Flex Ride networks the following electronic systems: ● Continuous Damping Control ● Accelerator Pedal Control ● Steering Control ● Electronic Stability Control (ESC) ● Antilock brake system (ABS) with cornering brake control (CBC) Driving and operating NORMAL mode In NORMAL mode, when neither SPORT nor VXR is pressed, all settings of the systems are adapted to standard values. SPORT mode The settings of the systems are adapted to a sportier driving style. VXR mode The drive dynamic characteristics are adapted to high performance settings. In this mode, the illumination of main instruments is switched to red. Personalised settings in the VXR mode The driver can select the functions of the VXR mode when VXR is pressed. These settings can be changed in the Settings menu in the Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 132. 185 Driver assistance systems 9 Warning Driver assistance systems are developed to support the driver and not to replace the driver's attention. The driver accepts full responsibility when driving the vehicle. When using driver assistance systems, always take care regarding the current traffic situation. Cruise control The Cruise control can store and maintain speeds of approx. 20 to 120 mph. Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill. For safety reasons, the cruise control cannot be activated until the brake pedal has been operated once. Activating in first gear is not possible. Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. With automatic transmission, only activate cruise control in automatic mode. Control indicator m 3 119. Switching on Press m; control indicator m in instrument cluster illuminates white. Activation Accelerate to the desired speed and turn thumb wheel to SET/-; the current speed is stored and 186 Driving and operating maintained. Control indicator m in instrument cluster illuminates green. Accelerator pedal can be released. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. Cruise control remains activated while gearshifting. Increase speed With cruise control active, hold thumb wheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turn to RES/+ repeatedly: speed increases continuously or in small increments. Alternatively, accelerate to the desired speed and store by turning to SET/-. Reduce speed With cruise control active, hold thumb wheel turned to SET/- or briefly turn to SET/- repeatedly: speed decreases continuously or in small increments. Deactivation Press y; control indicator m in instrument cluster illuminates white. Cruise control is deactivated. Last stored speed remains in memory for later speed resume. Automatic deactivation: ● Vehicle speed is below approx. 20 mph. ● Vehicle speed is above approx. 125 mph. ● The brake pedal is depressed. ● The clutch pedal is depressed for a few seconds. ● Selector lever is in N. ● Engine speed is in a very low range. ● The Traction Control system (TC) or Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is operating. Resume stored speed Turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a speed above 20 mph. The stored speed will be obtained. Switching off Press m; control indicator m in instrument cluster extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. Driving and operating Pressing L for activating speed limiter or switching off the ignition also switches off cruise control and deletes the stored speed. 187 Activation Set speed limit Press L. If cruise control or adaptive cruise control has been activated before, it is switched off when speed limiter is activated and control indicator m extinguishes. With speed limiter active, hold thumb wheel turned to RES/+ or briefly turn to RES/+ repeatedly until the desired maximum speed is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Alternatively accelerate to the desired speed and briefly turn thumb wheel to SET/-: the current speed is stored as maximum speed. Speed limit is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Speed limiter The speed limiter prevents the vehicle exceeding a preset maximum speed. The maximum speed can be set at a speed above 15 mph. The driver can only accelerate up to the preset speed. Deviations from the limited speed may occur when driving downhill. The preset speed limit is displayed in the top line of the Driver Information Centre when the system is active. 188 Driving and operating Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is reactivated once a speed lower than the limit speed is obtained. Deactivation Change speed limit With speed limiter active, turn thumb wheel to RES/+ to increase or SET/to decrease the desired maximum speed. Exceeding the speed limit In the event of an emergency, it is possible to exceed the speed limit by depressing the accelerator pedal firmly beyond the point of resistance. The limited speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre and (depending on vehicle) additionally a chime sounds during this period. Press y: speed limiter is deactivated and the vehicle can be driven without speed limit. The limited speed is stored and a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Resume limit speed Turn thumb wheel to RES/+. The stored speed limit will be obtained. Switching off Press L, the speed limit indication in the Driver Information Centre extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. By pressing m to activate cruise control or adaptive cruise control or by switching off the ignition, speed limiter is also deactivated and the stored speed is deleted. Adaptive cruise control Adaptive cruise control is an enhancement to traditional cruise control with the additional feature of maintaining a certain distance behind the vehicle ahead. Adaptive cruise control automatically decelerates the vehicle when approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle speed to follow the vehicle ahead at the selected following distance. The vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front, but will not exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking with activated brake lights. The adaptive cruise control can store and maintain speeds over approx. 31 mph and brakes automatically to follow a slower vehicle driving ahead to a minimum speed of 18 mph. Driving and operating Adaptive cruise control uses a radar sensor to detect the vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will behave like a traditional cruise control. For safety reasons, the system cannot be activated before the brake pedal has been depressed once since switching on ignition. Activation in first gear is not possible. Adaptive cruise control is mainly advised to be used on long straight roads, e.g. highways or country roads with steady traffic. Do not use the system if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. Control indicator A 3 120, m 3 119. 9 Warning The complete driver attention is always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle because the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal and the cancel switch have priority over any adaptive cruise control operation. 189 Switching on Press C to switch on adaptive cruise control. The control indicator m illuminates white. Activation by setting the speed Adaptive cruise control can be activated between 31 mph and 112 mph. Accelerate to the desired speed and turn thumb wheel to SET/-, the current speed is stored and maintained. Control indicator m illuminates green. The adaptive cruise control symbol, the following distance setting and set speed are indicated in the top line of the Driver Information Centre. The accelerator pedal can be released. Adaptive cruise control remains activated while gearshifting. Overriding set speed It is always possible to drive faster than the selected set speed by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the desired distance if a slower vehicle is ahead. Otherwise it returns to the stored speed. 190 Driving and operating Once the system is activated, adaptive cruise control decelerates or brakes if it detects a vehicle ahead, which is slower or closer than the desired following distance. 9 Warning Accelerating by the driver deactivates automatic braking by the system. This is indicated as a pop-up warning in the Driver Information Centre. Increase speed With adaptive cruise control active, hold thumb wheel turned to RES/+: speed increases continuously in large increments, or activate repeatedly RES/+: speed increases in small increments. If the vehicle is driven with adaptive cruise control active much faster than the desired speed, e.g. after depressing the accelerator pedal, then the current speed can be stored and maintained by turning the thumb wheel to SET/-. Reduce speed With adaptive cruise control active, hold thumb wheel turned to SET/-: speed decreases continuously in large increments, or activate repeatedly SET/-: speed decreases in small increments. If the vehicle is driven with adaptive cruise control active much slower than the desired speed, e.g. because of a slower vehicle ahead, then the current speed can be stored and maintained by turning the thumb wheel to SET/-. Resume stored speed If the system is switched on but inactive, then turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a speed above 31 mph to resume the stored speed. Setting the following distance When adaptive cruise control detects a slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it will adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the following distance selected by the driver. The following distance can be set to near, medium or far. Press E; the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press E again to change the following distance. The setting is also displayed in the top line of the Driver Information Centre. Driving and operating 9 Warning The driver accepts full responsibility for the appropriate following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions. Following distance must be adjusted or the system switched off when required by the prevailing conditions. The selected following distance is indicated by filled distance bars in the adaptive cruise control page. Note that the following distance setting is shared with the sensitivity setting of forward collision alert. Example: If setting 3 (far) is selected, then the driver is warned sooner before a possible collision, also if adaptive cruise control is inactive or switched off. Detecting the vehicle ahead The green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A is displayed in the speedometer when the system detects a vehicle in the driving path. 191 If this symbol does not display, or displays briefly, adaptive cruise control will not respond to vehicles ahead. Deactivation Adaptive cruise control is deactivated by the driver when: ● y is pressed. ● The brake pedal is depressed. ● The clutch pedal is depressed for more than four seconds. ● The gear selector lever of automatic transmission is moved to N. The system is also automatically deactivated when: ● Vehicle speed slows down below 28 mph or accelerates above 120 mph. ● The Traction Control system (TC) is operating for more than 20 seconds. ● The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is operating. 192 Driving and operating There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides for several minutes. In this case, there are no radar echoes and the sensor may report that it is blocked. ● The collision imminent braking system is applying the brakes. ● The radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film. ● A fault is detected in the radar, engine or brake system. When adaptive cruise control is deactivated automatically, the control indicator m illuminates white and a warning symbol is displayed as a popup in the Driver Information Centre. Driver's attention ● ● ● The stored speed is maintained. ● 9 Warning When adaptive cruise control is deactivated, the driver must take over full brake and engine control. Switching off Press C to switch off adaptive cruise control. The control indicator m extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also switches off adaptive cruise control and deletes the stored speed. Use adaptive cruise control carefully on bends or mountain roads, as it can lose the vehicle ahead and need time to detect it again. Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create rapid changes in tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that you could lose control. Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as the radar sensor can be covered by a water film, dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the visibility. In case of sensor blockage, clean the sensor cover. System limits ● The system's automatic brake force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be sufficient to avoid a collision. Driving and operating ● ● ● After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle. So if a new vehicle is detected, the system may accelerate instead of braking. Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic. Adaptive cruise control does not brake for stopped vehicles, pedestrians or animals. Bends The adaptive cruise control calculates a predicted path based on the centrifugal force. This predicted path considers the current bend characteristic, but cannot consider a future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or consider a vehicle which is not in the actual lane. This can happen when entering or exiting a bend or if the bend gets stronger or weaker. If it no longer detects any vehicle ahead, then control indicator A will extinguish. If the centrifugal force is too high in a bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is not designed to avoid spinning off the bend. The driver is responsible for reducing the selected speed before entering a bend and in general to adapt the speed to the road type and to existing speed limits. Motorways On motorways, adapt the set speed to the situation and the weather. Always consider that adaptive cruise control has a limited visibility range, a limited braking level and a certain reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on the driving path or not. Adaptive 193 cruise control may not be able to brake the vehicle in time to avoid a collision with a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is particularly true if driving fast or if the visibility is reduced due to weather conditions. While entering or exiting a motorway, adaptive cruise control may lose the vehicle ahead and accelerate up to the set speed. For this reason, decrease the set speed before the exit or before the entry. Vehicle path changes If another vehicle enters your driving path, adaptive cruise control will first consider the vehicle when it is completely in your path. Be ready to take action and depress the brake pedal, if you need to brake more quickly. 194 Driving and operating Hill and trailer considerations Radar unit consult a workshop to verify and correct the adaptive cruise control sensor position. Settings System performance on hills and when towing a trailer depends on your vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the road gradient. It may not detect a vehicle in your path while driving on hills. On steep hills, you may have to use the accelerator pedal to maintain your vehicle speed. When going downhill, especially when towing a trailer, you may have to brake to maintain or reduce your speed. Note that applying the brake deactivates the system. It is not recommended to use adaptive cruise control on steep hills especially when towing a trailer. Settings can be changed in the Auto collision preparation menu in the vehicle personalisation, 3 132. Fault The radar unit is mounted behind the radiator grille below the brand emblem. 9 Warning The radar unit was aligned carefully during manufacture. Therefore, after a frontal accident, do not use the system. The front bumper may appear to be intact, however the sensor behind can be out of position and react incorrectly. After an accident, If the adaptive cruise control does not work due to temporary conditions (e.g. blockage by ice) or if there is a permanent system error, then a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Driving and operating Vehicle messages 3 126. Forward collision alert ● The forward collision alert can help to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. 195 on vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control 3 188. Forward collision alert based on front camera system on vehicles with traditional cruise control or none 3 185. Forward collision alert based on radar system A vehicle ahead is indicated by a control indicator A. If a vehicle directly ahead is approached too quickly, a warning chime and alert in the Driver Information Centre is provided. A precondition is that forward collision alert is activated in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 132 or that it is not deactivated by pressing V (depending on the system, see following). Depending on the vehicle's equipment, there are two variants of the forward collision alert available: ● Forward collision alert based on radar system The system uses the radar sensor behind the radiator grille to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in your path, within a maximum distance of 150 metres. Activation Forward collision alert operates automatically above walking speed, provided that Auto collision preparation setting is not deactivated in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 132. Selecting the alert sensitivity The alert sensitivity can be set to near, medium or far. 196 Driving and operating Alerting the driver Press E; the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press E again to change the alert sensitivity. The setting is also displayed in the top line of the Driver Information Centre. Note that the alert timing sensitivity setting is shared with the following distance setting of the adaptive cruise control. So changing the alert timing sensitivity changes the adaptive cruise control following distance setting. A green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A illuminates in the instrument cluster when the system has detected a vehicle in the driving path. When the distance to a preceding moving vehicle gets too small or when approaching another vehicle too rapidly and a collision is imminent, the collision alert symbol pops-up in the Driver Information Centre. Simultaneously a warning chime sounds. Depress the brake pedal, if it is required by the situation. Driving and operating Settings Alerting the driver A green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A illuminates in the instrument cluster when the system has detected a vehicle in the driving path. Settings can be changed in the Auto collision preparation menu in the vehicle personalisation 3 132. Forward collision alert based on front camera system Forward collision alert uses the front camera system in the windscreen to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in your path, within a distance of approx. 60 metres. Activation Forward collision alert operates automatically above 25 mph, if it is not deactivated by pressing V, see below. Selecting the alert sensitivity The alert sensitivity can be set to near, medium or far. 197 Press V; the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press V again to change the alert sensitivity. When the distance to a preceding moving vehicle gets too small or when approaching another vehicle too rapidly and a collision is imminent, the collision alert symbol pops-up in the Driver Information Centre. Simultaneously a warning chime sounds. Depress the brake pedal, if it is required by the situation. 198 Driving and operating Deactivation The system can be deactivated. Press V repeatedly until the following message appears in the Driver Information Centre. General information for both variants of forward collision alert 9 Warning Forward collision alert is just a warning system and does not apply the brakes. When approaching a vehicle ahead too rapidly, it may not provide you enough time to avoid a collision. The driver accepts full responsibility for the appropriate following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions. The complete attention of the driver is always required while driving. The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes. System limitations The system is designed to warn only for vehicles, but may react also to other metallic objects. In the following cases, forward collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is limited: ● on winding roads ● when weather limits visibility, e.g. fog, rain, or snow ● when the sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, or windscreen damage Following distance indication The following distance indication displays the distance to a preceding moving vehicle. The system uses, depending on the vehicle equipment, either the radar behind the radiator grille or the front camera in the windscreen to detect the distance of a vehicle directly ahead in your lane. It is active at speeds above 25 mph. When a preceding vehicle is detected ahead, the distance is indicated in seconds, displayed on a page in the Driver Information Centre 3 120. Press MENU on the turn signal lever to select Vehicle Information Menu X and turn the adjuster wheel to choose following distance indication page. Driving and operating The minimum indicated distance is 0.5 s. If there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is out of range, two dashes will be displayed: -.- s. Active Emergency Braking Active emergency braking can help to reduce the damage from crashes with vehicles and obstacles directly ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by manual braking or by steering. Before the active emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision alert 3 195. The feature uses various inputs (e.g. radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability of a frontal collision. Active emergency braking operates automatically above walking speed, provided that Auto collision preparation setting is not deactivated in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 132. The system includes: ● brake preparation system ● emergency automatic braking ● forward looking brake assist 9 Warning This system is not intended to replace the driver responsibility of driving the vehicle and looking ahead. Its function is limited to supplemental use only. The driver shall continue to apply the brake pedal as the driving situation dictates. 199 Brake preparation system When approaching a vehicle ahead so quickly that a collision is likely, the brake preparation system slightly pressurises the brakes. This reduces the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested. The brake system is prepared so that braking can occur more rapidly. Emergency automatic braking After the brake preparation and just before the imminent collision, this function automatically applies limited braking to reduce the impact speed of the collision. Forward looking brake assist In addition to brake preparation system and emergency automatic braking, the forward looking brake assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. In this way, depressing the brake pedal slightly results immediately in a strong braking. This function helps the driver brake quicker and stronger before the imminent collision. 200 Driving and operating 9 Warning Active emergency braking is not designed to apply strong autonomous braking or to avoid automatically a collision. It is designed to reduce the vehicle speed before collision. It may not react on stopped vehicles, pedestrians or animals. After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle. The complete attention of the driver is always required while driving. The driver shall always be ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions. The system is designed to work with all occupants wearing their seat belts. System limitations The active emergency braking has limited or no function during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as the radar sensor can be covered by a water film, dust, ice or snow. In case of sensor blockage, clean the sensor cover. In some seldom cases the active emergency braking system may provide a short automatic braking in situations that seem to be unnecessary, for instance due to traffic signs in a curve or due to vehicles in another lane. This is acceptable operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator pedal to override the automatic braking. Settings Settings can be changed in the Auto collision preparation menu in the vehicle personalisation, 3 132. Fault In the event of a system service requirement, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. If the system does not work as it should do, vehicle messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

The front parking assist is also activated automatically at a speed up to 7 mph. An illuminated LED in the parking assist button r or D indicates that the system is ready to operate. If the vehicle exceeds a speed of 7 mph, the front parking assist is deactivated. The front parking assist is always reactivated when vehicle speed drops below 7 mph. Indication The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially hazardous obstacles behind and in front of the vehicle. Depending on which side of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals on the respective side of the vehicle. The interval between the sounds becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the distance is less than approx. 30 cm, the sound is continuous. Additionally, the distance to obstacles may be shown in the Driver Information Centre 3 120. 203 The distance indication in the Driver Information Centre can be inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After approving the message by pressing SET/CLR on the turn signal lever, distance indication appears again. Deactivation The rear parking assist automatically switches off when reverse gear is disengaged. The front parking assist is deactivated automatically at a speed above 7 mph. The distance to a front and rear obstacle is indicated by changing distance lines around the vehicle. Rear obstacles are indicated acoustically and visually at the same time. Front obstacles are indicated visually first. At distances less than 80 cm an acoustic signal also sounds. Manual deactivation is possible by pressing r or D briefly. 204 Driving and operating When the system is deactivated, the LED in the button extinguishes. Additionally, Park Assist Off pops-up in the Driver Information Centre when the system is deactivated manually.

Advanced parking assist is active: long press deactivates advanced parking assist. Advanced parking assist and front-rear parking assist are active: short press deactivates both systems. The system can only be activated and can only search for a parking slot at a speed up to 18 mph. The maximum allowed parallel distance between the vehicle and a row of parked cars is 1.8 metres. 205 If the driver does not stop the vehicle within ten metres after a parking slot is proposed, the system starts to search for another suitable parking slot. Functionality Activation When searching for a parking slot, the system must be activated by pressing D for approx. one second. When the vehicle passes a row of cars and the system is activated, the advanced parking assist system begins searching for a suitable parking slot. When a suitable slot is detected, visual feedback in the Driver Information Centre and an acoustic signal are given. The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle is stopped by the driver within ten metres after the "Stop" message is given. The system calculates the optimal route into the parking slot. Then it manoeuvres the driver into the slot by giving detailed instructions. 206 Driving and operating As soon as turn indicator is switched off, the system searches for parking slots on the passenger side again. The instructions in the display show: ● A hint when driving faster than 18 mph. ● The demand to stop the vehicle, when a parking slot is detected. ● The direction of driving during the parking manoeuvre. ● The steering wheel position during parking. ● For some of the instructions a progress bar is shown. A successful parking manoeuvre is indicated by the 'End position' symbol. Always pay attention to the sound of the front-rear parking assist. Continuous sound means that the distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm. Changing the parking side The system is configured to detect parking slots by default on the passenger side. To detect parking slots on the driver side, switch on turn indicator to the driver side for the duration of searching. Display priorities After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Advanced parking assist indication in the Driver Information Centre can be inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority.

If the object is not removed, the system will be deactivated. Press D for approx. one second to activate the system and search for a new parking slot. Basic notes on parking assist systems 9 Warning Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles. Special attention must be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper. Caution Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow. Performance of the parking assist system can be reduced due to heavy loading. Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles in the vicinity (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification and 207 correct distance indication in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross-section, e.g. objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist systems do not detect objects outside the detection range. Notice The parking assist system can be activated and deactivated by changing the settings in the Info-Display. If a trailer coupling is attached, it must be selected in the menu. Vehicle personalisation 3 132. 208 Driving and operating Notice The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in. It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustical or mechanic disturbances. Advanced parking assist system may not respond to changes in the parking space after initiating a parallel parking manoeuvre. Notice If engaging a forward gear and exceeding a certain speed, the rear parking assist will be deactivated when the rear carrier system is extended. If engaging reverse at first, the parking assist will detect the rear carrier system and provide a buzzing sound. Press r or D briefly to deactivate the parking assist. Notice After use the advanced parking assist requires a calibration. For optimal parking guidance, a driving distance of at least 22 miles, including a number of bends, is required. Side blind spot alert The Side blind spot alert system detects and reports objects on either side of the vehicle, within a specified "blind spot" zone. The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when detecting objects that may not be visible in the interior and exterior mirrors. The system's sensors are located in the bumper on the left and right side of the vehicle. 9 Warning Side blind spot alert does not replace driver vision. The system does not detect: ● vehicles outside the side blind zones which may be rapidly approaching ● pedestrians, cyclists or animals Before changing a lane, always check all mirrors, look over the shoulder and use the turn signal. When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, either while passing a vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol B will illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the warning symbol B starts flashing amber as a warning not to change lanes. Notice If the passing vehicle is at least 6 mph faster than the passed vehicle, the warning symbol B in the relevant exterior mirror may not illuminate. Driving and operating The system can be activated or deactivated in the menu Settings in the Info-Display, vehicle personalisation 3 132. Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre. Detection zones Side blind spot alert is active from speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph. Driving faster than 87 mph deactivates the system, indicated by low lighting warning symbols B in both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the warning symbols. If a vehicle is then detected in the blind zone, the warning symbols B will illuminate as normal on the relevant side. When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating. The system sensor covers a zone of approx. three metres on both sides of the vehicle. This zone starts at each exterior mirror and extends rearwards by approx. three metres. The height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 metres and two metres off the ground. The system is deactivated if the vehicle is towing a trailer. Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming vehicles are not detected. Fault Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances. 209 Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice or slush.

The system is deactivated by pressing ), the LED in the button extinguishes. At speeds below 35 mph the system is inoperable. Fault The lane departure warning system may not operate properly when: ● The windscreen is not clean. ● There are adverse environmental conditions like heavy rain, snow, direct sunlight or shadows. 216 Driving and operating The system can not operate when no lane marking is detected. Fuel Caution Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent. The engine is capable of running with fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol (e.g. named E10). Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. The engine specific requirements are given in the engine data overview 3 297. A country specific label at the fuel filler flap can supersede the requirement. Caution Do not use fuel or fuel additives that contain metallic compounds such as manganese-based additives. This may cause engine damage. Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage and may affect your warranty. Caution Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage. Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590. In countries outside the European Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulphur concentration below 50 ppm. Driving and operating Caution Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to engine powerloss, increased wear or engine damage and may affect your warranty. Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines. Fuel for liquid gas operation Liquid gas is known as LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or under its French name GPL (Gaz de Pétrole Liquéfié). LPG is also known as Autogas. LPG consists mainly of propane and butane. The octane rating is between 105 and 115, depending on the butane proportion. LPG is stored liquid at around 5 - 10 bar pressure. The boiling point depends on the pressure and mixing ratio. At ambient pressure, it is between -42 °C (pure propane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane). Caution The system works at an ambient temperature of approx. -8 °C to 100 °C. Full function of the LPG system can only be guaranteed with liquid gas which complies with the minimum requirements of DIN EN 589. Fuel selector 217 Pressing LPG switches between petrol and liquid gas operation as soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, gas temperature and minimum engine speed) have been reached. The requirements are usually fulfilled after around 60 seconds (depending on exterior temperature) and the first firm press on the accelerator. The LED status shows the current operating mode. 1 off : petrol operation 1 flashes : checking conditions for fuel transition to liquid gas operation. Illuminates if conditions are fulfilled. 1 illumi‐ : liquid gas operation nates 1 flashes 5 : liquid gas tank is empty or failure in times and liquid gas system. A extin‐ message is displayed guishes in the Driver Information Centre. If the fuel tank is empty, the engine will not start. 218 Driving and operating The selected fuel mode is stored and reactivated at the next ignition cycle if conditions allow. As soon as the liquid gas tanks are empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged until the ignition is switched off. When switching automatically between petrol or gas operation, a brief delay of engine tractive power may be noticeable. Every six months, run the petrol tank down until control indicator i illuminates, then refuel. This helps maintain fuel quality and system function for petrol operation. Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the tank. Faults and remedies If gas mode is not possible, check the following: ● Is there enough liquid gas present? ● Is there enough petrol present for starting? Due to extreme temperatures in combination with the gas composition, it may take slightly longer before the system switches from petrol to gas mode. In extreme situations, the system may also switch back to petrol mode if the minimum requirements are not fulfilled. If conditions allow, it might be possible to manually switch back to liquid gas operation. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults. 9 Warning If you smell gas in the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity, switch to petrol mode immediately. No smoking. No naked flames or ignition sources. If possible, close the manual shut-off valve on the multivalve. The multivalve is located on the liquid gas tank in the load compartment, underneath the rear floor cover. Caution Repairs and adjustments may only be made by trained specialists in order to maintain the safety and warranty on the LPG system. Liquid gas is given a particular odour (odorised) so that any leaks can be detected easily. Turn the thumb wheel clockwise. Driving and operating If no further gas odour is perceptible when the manual shut-off valve is closed, the vehicle can be used in petrol mode. If the gas odour persists, do not start the engine. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. When using underground car parks, follow the instructions of the operator and local laws. Notice In the event of an accident, switch off the ignition and lights. Close the manual shut-off valve on multivalve. Refuelling 219 9 Danger Before refuelling, switch off ignition and any external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch off any mobile phones. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. 9 Danger Fuel is flammable and explosive. No smoking. No naked flames or sparks. If you can smell fuel in your vehicle, have the cause of this remedied immediately by a workshop. Caution In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition. Fuel filler flap is located at right rear side of the vehicle. The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap. To open, turn the cap slowly to the left. 220 Driving and operating The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. To refuel, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. After automatic cut-off, it can be topped up by operating the pump nozzle maximally two more times. Caution Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately. To close, turn the fuel filler cap to the right until it clicks. Close the flap and engage. Unscrew protective cap from the filler neck. Liquid gas refuelling Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. The filling valve for the liquid gas is behind the fuel filler cap.

Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps. The fuel consumption (combined) of the model Vauxhall Astra is within a range of 36 to 78 mpg. The CO2 emission (combined) is within a range of 184 to 94 g/km. For the values specific to your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. General information The official fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission figures quoted relate to the EU base model with standard equipment. Fuel consumption data and CO2 emission data are determined according to regulation R (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the latest applicable version), taking into consideration the vehicle weight in running order, as specified by the regulation. The figures are provided only for the purpose of comparison between different vehicle variants and must not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a particular vehicle. Additional equipment may result in slightly higher results than the stated consumption and CO2 figures. Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style as well as road and traffic conditions. Driving and operating Trailer hitch General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. The bulb outage detection function for trailer brake light cannot detect a partial bulb outage, e.g. in case of 4 x 5 Watt bulbs, the function only detects lamp outage when only a single 5 Watt lamp remains or none remain. Fitting of towing equipment could cover the opening of the towing eye. If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the coupling ball bar in the vehicle. Driving characteristics and towing tips Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than 1300 kg (Sports tourer: 1200 kg) the use of a stabiliser is strongly recommended when driving above 50 mph. If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary. When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load 3 308. 223 Trailer towing Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled. The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12%. The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10% for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g. motorways). 224 Driving and operating The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 292. Vertical coupling load The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer. The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (75 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg. Rear axle load Stowage of coupling ball bar When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) may be exceeded by 60 kg, the gross vehicle weight rating may be exceeded by 60 kg. If the permissible rear axle load is exceeded, a maximum speed of 60 mph applies. Towing equipment Caution When operating without a trailer, remove the coupling ball bar. The bag with the coupling ball bar is stowed in the rear stowage compartment on the floor. Place the strap through the lashing eye, wrap around twice and tighten the strap to secure the bag. Driving and operating Fitting the coupling ball bar All versions except 3-door hatchback: Press fastenings inward and fold the cover downward at the front. Remove cover. 225 Checking the tensioning of the coupling ball bar Disengage and fold down the socket.

Check the engine oil level manually on a regular basis to prevent damage to the engine. Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used. Recommended fluids and lubricants 3 290. The maximum engine oil consumption is 0.6 l per 1000 km. 231 Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at least five minutes. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, pull out and read the engine oil level. Caution It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the proper level of an appropriate quality oil in the engine. Insert dipstick to the stop on the handle and make half a turn. 232 Vehicle care Engine coolant Different dipsticks are used depending on engine variant. The coolant provides freeze protection down to approx. -28 °C. In northern countries with very low temperatures, the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -37 °C. Caution Only use approved antifreeze. When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil. We recommend the use of the same grade of engine oil that was used at last change. The engine oil level must not exceed the MAX mark on the dipstick. Caution Overfilled engine oil must be drained or suctioned out. Capacities 3 307. Fit the cap on straight and tighten it. Coolant level Caution Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage. Vehicle care the coolant concentration checked and have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop. Power steering fluid Caution If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level should be above the filling line mark. Top up if the level is low. Extremely small amounts of contamination can cause steering system damage and cause it to not work properly. Do not allow contaminates to contact the fluid side of the reservoir cap/dipstick or from entering the reservoir. 233 Power steering fluid level normally does not have to be checked. If an unusual noise sounds during steering or the power steering reacts unusually, seek the assistance of a workshop. Washer fluid 9 Warning Allow the engine to cool before opening the cap. Carefully open the cap, relieving the pressure slowly. To top up, use a 1:1 mixture of approved coolant concentrate mixed with clean tap water. If no coolant concentrate is available, use clean tap water. Install the cap tightly. Have Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable quantity of approved windscreen washer fluid which contains antifreeze. 234 Vehicle care Caution Only washer fluid with a sufficient antifreeze concentration provides protection at low temperatures or a sudden drop in temperature. Use of washer fluid containing isopropanol can damage exterior lamps. Brake fluid 9 Warning Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. Vehicle battery The vehicle battery is maintenancefree provided that the driving profile allows sufficient charging of the battery. Short-distance-driving and frequent engine starts can discharge the battery. Avoid the use of unnecessary electrical consumers. Brakes In the event of minimum thickness of the brake lining, a squealing noise sounds during braking. Continued driving is possible but have the brake lining replaced as soon as possible. Once new brake linings are installed, do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. The brake fluid level must be between the MIN and MAX marks. If fluid level is below MIN seek the assistance of a workshop. Brake and clutch fluid 3 290. Batteries do not belong in household waste. They must be disposed of at an appropriate recycling collection point. Laying up the vehicle for more than four weeks can lead to battery discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle battery. Ensure the ignition is switched off before connecting or disconnecting the vehicle battery. Vehicle care Charging the vehicle battery The anti-theft alarm siren must be deactivated as follows: Switch the ignition on then off, disconnect the vehicle's battery within 15 seconds. Vehicle battery discharge protection 3 154. 9 Warning On vehicles with stop-start system, ensure that the charging potential does not exceed 14.6 volts when using a battery charger.

Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking. Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear. Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view. 5-door hatchback, 4-door saloon, Sports tourer Tyre sizes 205/65 R16 are only suitable as winter tyres. All engines except A14XER, B14XER, B14NEL, B14NET, B14NET LPG, B16XER: Tyre sizes 215/50 R17 are only suitable as winter tyres. Tyre designations E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H 215 : tyre width, mm 60 : cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), % R : belt type: Radial RF : type: RunFlat 16 : wheel diameter, inches 95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent to 690 kg H : speed code letter Speed code letter: Q : up to 100 mph S : up to 112 mph T : up to 118 mph H : up to 130 mph V : up to 150 mph W : up to 168 mph Choose a tyre appropriate for the maximum speed of your vehicle. The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus 125 kg payload. Optional equipment could reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle. Performance 3 300. Directional tyres Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. Tyre pressure Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system. Unscrew the valve cap. Vehicle care Tyre pressure 3 308. The tyre pressure information label on the front left or right door frame indicates the original equipment tyres and the correspondent tyre pressures. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres. Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load. The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible. Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. Tyre pressures differ depending on various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below: 1. Identify the body style. 2. Identify the engine identifier code. Engine data 3 297. 3. Identify the respective tyre. The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 308. For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure. 265 9 Warning If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warmup and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds. 9 Warning For specific tyres the recommended tyre pressure as shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased on a vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring system, switch off ignition. Temperature dependency The tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. Tyre pressure 266 Vehicle care values provided on the tyre information label and tyre pressure chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C. The pressure increases by nearly 1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature increase. This must be considered when warm tyres are checked. The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Centre shows the real tyre pressure. A cooled down tyre will show a decreased value, which does not indicate an air leak. Tyre pressure monitoring system The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) checks the pressure of all four tyres once a minute when vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit. Caution Tyre pressure monitoring system warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace regular tyre maintenance by the driver. All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. Press MENU to select the Vehicle Information MenuX. Notice In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle type approval. The current tyre pressures can be shown in the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre. The menu can be selected by the buttons on the turn signal lever. Turn the adjuster wheel to select the tyre pressure monitoring system. System status and pressure warnings are displayed by a message with the corresponding tyre flashing in the Driver Information Centre. The system considers the tyre temperature for the warnings. Vehicle care A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by control indicator w 3 118. If w illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended 3 308. If w flashes for 60-90 seconds and then illuminates continuously, there is a fault in the system. Consult a workshop. After inflating, driving may be required to update the tyre pressure values in the Driver Information Centre. During this time w may illuminate. If w illuminates at lower temperatures and extinguishes after some driving, this could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check tyre pressure. Vehicle messages 3 126. If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off ignition. Only mount wheels with pressure sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure will not be displayed and w illuminates continuously. A spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is not equipped with pressure sensors. The tyre pressure monitoring system is not operational for these wheels. Control indicator w illuminates. For the further three wheels the system remains operational. The use of commercially available liquid tyre repair kits can impair the function of the system. Factoryapproved repair kits can be used. Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave frequencies could disrupt the tyre pressure monitoring system. 267 Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre pressure monitoring system sensors must be dismounted and serviced. For the screwed sensor: replace valve core and sealing ring. For clipped sensor: replace complete valve stem. Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according to the tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 308, and select the appropriate setting in the Tyre load menu in the Driver Information Centre 3 120. This setting is the reference for the tyre pressure warnings. The Tyre Load menu only appears if the vehicle is in a standstill and the parking brake is applied. On vehicles with automatic transmission the selector lever has to be in P. 268 Vehicle care Select: ● Light for comfort pressure up to 3 people. ● Eco for Eco pressure up to 3 people. ● Max for full load. Tyre pressure sensor matching process Each tyre pressure sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code must be matched to a new wheel position after rotating the wheels or exchanging the complete wheel set and if one or more tyre pressure sensors were replaced. The tyre pressure sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare wheel with a road wheel containing the tyre pressure sensor. The malfunction light w and the warning message or code should go off at the next ignition cycle. The sensors are matched to the wheel positions, using a relearn tool, in the following order: left side front wheel, right side front wheel, right side rear wheel and left side rear wheel. The turn signal light at the current active position is illuminated until sensor is matched. Consult your workshop for service or to purchase a relearn tool. There are two minutes to match the first wheel position, and five minutes overall to match all four wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must be restarted. The tyre pressure sensor matching process is: 1. Apply the parking brake. 2. Turn the ignition on. 3. On vehicles with automatic transmission: set the selector lever to P. On vehicles with manual transmission: select neutral. 4. Use MENU on the turn signal lever to select the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre. 5. Turn the adjuster wheel to scroll to the tyre pressure menu. 6. Press SET/CLR to begin the sensor matching process. A message requesting acceptance of the process should be displayed. Press SET/CLR again to confirm the selection. The horn sounds twice to indicate the receiver is in relearn mode. 7. Start with the left side front wheel. 8. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem. Then press the button to activate the tyre pressure sensor. A horn chirp confirms that the sensor identification code has been matched to this wheel position. Vehicle care 9. Proceed to the right side front wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 8. 10. Proceed to the right side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 8. 11. Proceed to the left side rear wheel, and repeat the procedure in Step 8. The horn sounds twice to indicate the sensor identification code has been matched to the left side rear tyre, and the tyre pressure sensor matching process is no longer active. 12. Turn off the ignition. 13. Set all four tyres to the recommended air pressure level as indicated on the tyre pressure label. 14. Ensure the tyre loading status is set according selected pressure 3 120. Tread depth Check tread depth at regular intervals. Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres). For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm. 269 If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before. Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years. Changing tyre and wheel size The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall. If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval. 270 Vehicle care Wheel covers Tyre chains Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used. If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge. Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling. 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents. Vehicles with steel wheels: When using locking wheel nuts, do not attach wheel covers. Use tyre chains only on front wheels. 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout. 5-door hatchback, 4-door saloon, Sports tourer Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). Tyre chains are only permitted on tyres of size 205/60 R16 and 215/50 R17. 3-door hatchback Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of size 225/55 R17. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). Tyre chains are also permitted on tyres of size 245/45 R18. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 7 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). VXR Version Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of size 235/45 R18. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). General The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel. Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit. Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres. Vehicle care 271 2. Remove the compressor. Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit. 9 Warning Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not use for a lengthy period. Steering and handling may be affected. If you have a flat tyre: Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P. The tyre repair kit is in a compartment under the floor cover in the load compartment or, on version with rear carrier system, in the drawer under the passenger seat 3 63. The illustrations show different versions. 1. Take the tyre repair kit from the compartment. 3. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the stowage compartments on the underside of the compressor. 272 Vehicle care 4.

The switch on the compressor must be set to J. 9. Connect the compressor plug to the power outlet or cigarette lighter socket. To avoid discharging the battery, we recommend running the engine. 10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled with sealant. 11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilst the sealant bottle is emptying (approx. 30 seconds). Then the pressure starts to drop. 12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated. 13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within ten minutes. Tyre pressure 3 308. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within ten minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for ten minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Vehicle care 14. 15. 16. 17. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button over the pressure indicator. Do not run the compressor longer than ten minutes. Detach the tyre repair kit. Push catch on bracket to remove sealant bottle from bracket. Screw the tyre inflation hose to the free connection of the sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in load compartment. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the sealant bottle and affix in the driver's field of view. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed in the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles (but no more than ten minutes), stop and check tyre pressure. Screw compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this. If tyre pressure is more than 1.3 bar, set it to the correct value. Repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must not be used. Seek the assistance of a workshop. 18. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment. Notice The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. 273 If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. The built-in safety valve opens at a pressure of 102 psi. Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle. Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws. The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C. The adapters supplied can be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc. They are located on the underside of the compressor. To remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.

Spare wheel with directional tyre Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction: ● Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible and fit it instead of the spare wheel. ● Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces. 281 Jump starting Do not start with quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged vehicle battery can be started using jump leads and the vehicle battery of another vehicle. 9 Warning Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles. 9 Warning Avoid contact of the battery with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact. ● Never expose the vehicle battery to naked flames or sparks. 282 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Vehicle care A discharged vehicle battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen vehicle battery before connecting jump leads. Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a vehicle battery. Use a booster vehicle battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged vehicle battery. Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at least 16 mm2 (25 mm2 for diesel engines). Do not disconnect the discharged vehicle battery from the vehicle. Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers. Do not lean over the vehicle battery during jump starting. Do not allow the terminals of one lead to touch those of the other lead. ● ● ● The vehicles must not come into contact with each other during the jump starting process. Apply the parking brake, transmission in neutral, automatic transmission in P. Open the positive terminal protection caps of both vehicle batteries. Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster vehicle battery. 2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged vehicle battery. 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster vehicle battery. 4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point, such as the engine block or an engine mounting bolt. Connect as far away from the discharged vehicle battery as possible, however at least 60 cm. Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump. 2. After five minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of one minute. 3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. three minutes with the leads connected. Vehicle care 4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start. 5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads. 283 Towing Towing the vehicle Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the lower part of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 262. Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow rod – to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the vehicle. Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper. Transmission in neutral. 284 Vehicle care Caution Towing another vehicle Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer. To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation and close the windows. Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. In all other cases and when the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground. Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap at the top and engage downwards. Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the lower bend of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 262. Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. The lashing eye at the rear underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye. Attach a tow rope – or even better a tow bar – to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle. Vehicle care Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Insert cap at the top and engage downwards. Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop. Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences. Wash and wax your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, select a programme that includes waxing. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage. 285 If using a vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be switched off. Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc. If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out. Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover. Clean bright metal mouldings with a cleaning solution approved for aluminium to avoid damages. Caution Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of four to nine. Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces. Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop. 286 Vehicle care Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. On vehicles with emblem touchpad: when cleaning with a high-pressure jet cleaner ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm when working around the tailgate to prevent unintended unlocking. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry. Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads). Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out. Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary. Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents. Windows and windscreen wiper blades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover. When cleaning the rear window from inside, always wipe in parallel to the heating element to prevent damage. For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Remove dirt residues from smearing wiper blades by using a soft cloth and window cleaner. Also make sure to remove any residues such as wax, insect residues and similar from the window. Ice residues, pollution and continuous wiping on dry windows will damage or even destroy the wiper blades. Sunroof Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetonecontaining solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the sunroof. Glass panel Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetonecontaining solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the glass panel. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner. Vehicle care Rims are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body. Paintwork damage Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms. Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop. Underbody Some areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable protective wax coating. After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if necessary. Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop. Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked. Liquid gas system 9 Danger Liquid gas is heavier than air and can collect in sink points. Take care when performing work at the underbody in a pit. For painting work and when using a drying booth at a temperature above 60 °C, the liquid gas tank must be removed. Do not make any modifications to the liquid gas system. Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. Rear carrier system Clean the rear carrier system with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner at least once a year. Operate the rear carrier system periodically if not in regular use, in particular during winter. 287 Air shutter Clean the shutter system in the front bumper to maintain correct functionality. Interior care Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner. Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care. The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a weak soap solution. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner. 288 Vehicle care Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on lightcoloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible. Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner. Caution Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery. The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans. Plastic and rubber parts Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner as used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use highpressure jet cleaners. Service and maintenance Service and maintenance General information ................... 289 Service information .................. 289 Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts .................................... 290 Recommended fluids and lubricants ................................ 290 General information 289 In order to ensure economical and safe vehicle operation and to maintain the value of your vehicle, it is of vital importance that all maintenance work is carried out at the proper intervals as specified. The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for your vehicle is available at the workshop. Service display 3 110.

European service intervals International service intervals Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 20,000 miles or after 1 year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the service display. A shorter service interval can be valid for severe driving behaviour, e.g. for taxis and police vehicles. The European service intervals are valid for the following countries: Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 10,000 miles or after 1 year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the service display. The international service intervals are valid for the countries which are not listed in the European service intervals. Service display 3 110. Service information 290 Service and maintenance Confirmations Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet. The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop. Make sure that the Service and Warranty Booklet is completed correctly as continuous proof of service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when selling the vehicle. Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage. The service display lets you know when to change the engine oil. Service display 3 110. Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications. 9 Warning Operating materials are hazardous and could be poisonous. Handle with care. Pay attention to information given on the containers. Engine oil Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil aging control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range. Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for petrol and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities must be used. Recommendations for petrol engines are also valid for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelled engines. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 294. Topping up engine oil Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil quality and viscosity. Use of engine oil with only ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is prohibited, since it can cause longterm engine damage under certain operating conditions. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 294. Service and maintenance Additional engine oil additives The use of additional engine oil additives could cause damage and invalidate the warranty. Engine oil viscosity grades The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the thickness of the oil. Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity. Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient temperature 3 294. All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures. Coolant and antifreeze Use only organic acid type-long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 °C. In northern countries with very low temperatures, the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -37 °C. This concentration should be maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected. Brake and clutch fluid Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval. 291 292 Technical data Technical data Vehicle identification .................. 292 Vehicle Identification Number .. 292 Identification plate ................... 292 Engine identification ................ 293 Vehicle data ............................... 294 Recommended fluids and lubricants ................................ 294 Engine data ............................. 297 Performance ............................ 300 Vehicle weight ......................... 303 Vehicle dimensions ................. 306 Capacities ................................ 307 Tyre pressures ........................ 308 Vehicle identification Identification plate Vehicle Identification Number The identification plate is located on the front left or right door frame.

Vehicle data recording and privacy Event data recorders Data storage modules in the vehicle A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors. In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment: ● operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels) ● status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration) ● dysfunctions and defects in important system components ● 333 vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system) ● environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) These data are exclusively technical and help identifying and correcting errors as well as optimising vehicle functions. Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data. If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network (manufacturer included) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules applying special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information at these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten. 334 Customer information When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information (accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person possibly, with the assistance of an expert. Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g. vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle. Collision damage repair Paint thickness Due to production techniques, the thickness of the paint can vary between 50 and 400 µm. Therefore, different paint thickness is no indicator for a collision damage repair. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and invehicle transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in Vauxhall vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system containing personal information. Customer information 335 336 Index A
