By folding and expanding the mat there are a lot of individual applications possible. The interior protection mat is available in two versions: ■ Standard protection mat covers the area between tailgate and second seat row, when third row is complete or one seat folded down. ■ Flex cover interior protection mat is double size of standard protection mat, connected by a zipper. It covers the load compartment fully, when all or single seats of third and second row are folded down. Following only a few examples of using the mats are described. Before folding and expanding the mat, all components must be removed from the side rails and from the lashing eyes. Lashing eyes must be in stored position. 81 Covering the load compartment between tailgate and second seat row possible with both Standard protection mat or Flex cover interior protection mat being folded at the zipper to half size (double layer). Mat is located fourfold flapped behind the raised up seats of the third row. ■ Fold down third row seats. 82 Storage ■ Expand the parts of the folded mat so, that first part is raised up at second row backrest. ■ When folding down second row backrests, the mat expands automatically and covers the space between both seat rows. ■ To let one seat in the third row raised up, fold mat in half lengthways. ■ Pull out the mat a little to protect load compartment sill when loading heavy objects. Raise up the overlaying part of the mat before closing the tailgate. Covering the load compartment up to the backrests of the front seats only possible with Flex cover interior protection mat being folded at the zipper to half size (double layer). Mat is expanded up to the second row seats, as described before. ■ Fold down second row backrests. ■ Expand the upper parts of the double layer mat, so that the load compartment is fully covered. The first part of the mat is now raised up at the backrests of front seats. Storage ■ Fold the overlaying rear part under the mat before closing the tailgate. Covering the load compartment partially only possible with Flex cover interior protection mat being folded at the zipper to half size (double layer). e.g. left outer backrest is not folded down Mat is expanded up to the second row seats, as described in first section. ■ Fold down the backrests that shall be covered. ■ Open the zipper behind the raised up backrest. ■ Pull out the mat until the first part is flat on the load compartment floor. ■ Raise up lengthways the part, that is opened by the zipper, and fold it to the centre. 83 ■ Expand the upper part of double layer mat over the folded backrests. ■ Fold the overlaying rear part under the mat before closing the tailgate. Doing the same way when one outer and centre backrest are not folded down. e. g. only centre backrest is folded down Mat is expanded up to the second row seats, as described in first section. ■ Fold down centre backrest to be covered. 84 Storage ■ Open the zipper from both sides behind the left and right backrest. ■ Pull out the mat until the first part is flat on the load compartment floor. ■ Raise up lengthways both parts, that are opened by the zipper, and fold them to the centre. ■ Expand now the small upper part of double layer mat over the centre backrest. ■ Fold the overlaying rear part under the mat before closing the tailgate. Example for long small objects, e.g. skis. The following illustrations show some further examples. Example for side cover protection. Storage Example for covering folded backrest on second row and one folded seat on third row. 85 Load rails and hooks Lashing eyes Install the hooks in the desired position in the rails: insert the hook in the upper groove on the rail and press in the lower groove. The lashing eyes are designed to secure items against slippage, e.g. using lashing straps or luggage net. Cargo management system The FlexOrganizer is a flexible system for dividing up the load compartment. The system consists of: ■ adapters, ■ mesh pockets, 86 Storage ■ hooks, ■ variable partition net. The components are fitted in rails on both side panels using adapters and hooks. Variable partition net Net pocket Insert adapters into the required position in the rails. Stick together the halves of the net rods. To install, push rods together a little and insert into the relevant openings in the adapters. To remove, press the net rods together and remove from the adapters. Insert adapters into the required position in the rails. The net pocket can be suspended from the adapters. Installation of adapters in the rails Fold open the handle plate, insert the adapter into the upper and lower groove of the rail and move to the required position. Turn the handle plate upwards to lock the adapter. To remove, turn the handle plate down and move out of the rail. Storage Installation of hooks in the rails Partitioning net in front of tailgate 87 Safety net The safety net can be installed behind the seats of the second row or the front seats. Passengers must not be transported behind the safety net. Installation behind second row seats Insert the hook in the desired position first in the upper groove of the rail and then press in the lower groove. To remove, first pull out of the upper groove. Install directly in front of the tailgate. Before installation push in the four end pieces of the net rod by rotating each end piece anticlockwise. To install, push the net rods together and insert into the openings of the tailgate frame. The longer rod must be inserted at the top. To remove, push the net rods together and remove. ■ There are installation openings on both sides in the roof frame above second row seats: suspend and engage rod of net at one side, compress rod and suspend and engage at the other side. 88 Storage Installation behind front seats ■ Attach hooks of safety net straps to front lashing eyes on both sides in the load compartment. ■ Tension both straps by pulling at the loose end. ■ There are installation openings on both sides in the roof frame above the front seats: suspend and engage rod of net at one side, compress rod and suspend and engage at the other side. ■ Attach hooks of safety net straps to the lashing eyes on both sides in the floor in front of the seats. ■ Tension both straps by pulling at the loose end. Storage Warning triangle Removal Push button on the tightener to release the strap on both sides.

Slide the rollo to open or close the box. Use the straps to fix. Roof rack system Roof rack For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the roof, the vehicle approved roof rack system is recommended. For further information contact your workshop. Follow the installation instructions and remove the roof rack when not in use. Mounting roof rack Vehicles with roof railing Storage Fasten the roof rack in the area of the holes, indicated by the arrows in the illustration. Loading information Vehicles without roof railing To fasten a roof rack, open the caps in the roof strips. Insert the mounting provisions, as instructed, in the retainer indicated in the illustration. ■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed against the seat backrests. Ensure the backrests are securely engaged. If objects can be stacked, the heavier objects should be placed at the bottom. ■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 85. ■ Secure loose objects in load compartment to prevent sliding. 91 ■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests. ■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel. ■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking brake and gear selector lever, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior. ■ Do not drive with an open load compartment. 9 Warning Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed. Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or car. ■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification 92 Storage plate 3 266) and the EC kerb weight. 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 (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 vehicles without roof railing and 100 kg for vehicles with roof railing. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack and the load. Instruments and controls Instruments and controls Controls 93 Steering wheel controls Steering wheel adjustment Controls ....................................... 93 Warning lights, gauges and indi‐ cators ......................................... 101 Information displays ................... 114 Vehicle messages ...................... 120 Trip computer ............................. 124 Vehicle personalisation .............. 127 Unlock lever, adjust steering wheel, then engage lever and ensure it is fully locked.

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 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. 137 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 3 113. Deactivation Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are switched on. Intelligent light ranging uses the properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to extend the light range of the low beams 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 will be 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. 138 Lighting 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 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. Dynamic automatic headlight levelling 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. To prevent oncoming traffic from dazzle, headlight levelling is automatically adjusted based on inclination information measured by front and rear axle, acceleration or deceleration and vehicle speed. Lighting 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.

Press button 4 again to deactivate recirculation mode. 9 Warning The exchange of fresh air is reduced in air recirculation mode. In operation without cooling the air humidity increases, so the windows may mist up from inside. The quality of the passenger compartment air deteriorates, which may cause the vehicle occupants to feel drowsy. In warm and very humid ambient air conditions, the windscreen might mist up from outside, when cold air is directed to it. If windscreen mists up from outside, activate windscreen wiper and deactivate l. 150 Climate control Air vents Adjustable air vents At least one air vent must be open while the cooling is on. Direct the flow of air by tilting and swivelling the slats. Basic settings Some settings can be changed in the menu Settings in the Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 127. Auxiliary heater Air heater Quickheat is an electric auxiliary air heater which automatically warms up the passenger compartment more quickly. To open the vent, turn the adjuster wheel to B. Adjust the air amount at the vent outlet by turning the adjuster wheel. Climate control To close the vent, turn the adjuster wheel to 7. Air vents for rear passenger are left and right side behind the front seats. 9 Warning Do not attach any objects to the slats of the air vents. Risk of damage and injury in case of an accident. Fixed air vents Additional air vents are located beneath the windscreen and door windows and in the foot wells. 151 Maintenance Air intake The air intake in front of the windscreen in the engine compartment must be kept clear to allow air intake. Remove any leaves, dirt or snow. Pollen filter The pollen filter cleans dust, soot, pollen and spores from the air entering the vehicle through the air intake. 152 Climate control Air conditioning regular operation In order to ensure continuously efficient performance, cooling must be operated for a few minutes once a month, irrespective of the weather and time of year. Operation with cooling is not possible when the outside temperature is too low. Service For optimal cooling performance, it is recommended to annually check the climate control system, starting three years after initial vehicle registration, including: ■ Functionality and pressure test ■ Heating functionality ■ Leakage check ■ Check of drive belts ■ Cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage ■ Performance check Driving and operating Driving and operating Driving hints Control of the vehicle Driving hints ............................... 153 Starting and operating ............... 154 Engine exhaust .......................... 159 Automatic transmission .............. 163 Manual transmission .................. 166 Brakes ........................................ 167 Ride control systems ................. 170 Driver assistance systems ......... 173 Fuel ............................................ 202 Trailer hitch ................................ 212 Never coast with engine not running (except during Autostop) Many systems will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). 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 3 156. 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. On vehicles with Uplevel-Display or Uplevel-Combi-Display, a message appears in the Driver Information Centre. 153 Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals. 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 3 110. 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. 154 Driving and operating Starting and operating Ignition switch positions 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 of the vehicle battery. Diesel particle filter 3 159. ■ Power windows ■ 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 engine 0 = Ignition off 1 = Steering wheel lock released, ignition off 2 = Ignition on, for diesel engine: preheating 3 = Starting Retained power off The following electronic systems can work until the driver's door is opened or at the latest for 10 minutes after the ignition is switched off: Manual transmission: operate clutch. Automatic transmission: operate brake and move the selector lever to P or N. Do not operate the accelerator pedal. Driving and operating Diesel engine: turn the key to position 2 for preheating until control indicator ! extinguishes. Turn the key briefly to position 3 and release: an automatic procedure operates the starter with a short delay as long as the engine is running, see Automatic Starter Control. Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position 0. During an Autostop, the engine can be started by depressing the clutch pedal. Starting the vehicle at low temperatures The start of 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 battery. With temperatures below -30 °C the automatic transmission need a warming phase of approx. 5 minutes. The selector lever must be in position P. Automatic Starter Control This function controls the engine starting procedure. The driver does not have 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. 155 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 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. Overrun cut-off The fuel supply is automatically cut off during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released. 156 Driving and operating Stop-start system Deactivation 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 vehicle 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 the eco button. Deactivation is indicated by the LED in the button extinguishing. Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: ■ Depress the clutch pedal ■ set the lever to neutral ■ release the clutch pedal 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 steering assist can be reduced during an Autostop. Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled. Driving and operating ■ 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 Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See "Climate control" chapter for more details 3 146. Immediately after motorway driving an Autostop may be inhibited. New vehicle running-in 3 154. 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 electrical features such as auxiliary electric heater or rear window heating are disabled or switched into a powersaving 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. 157 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 - 3 109. Restart of the engine by the stop-start 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 charge level of the vehicle battery is below a defined level 158 Driving and operating ■ 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 electrical accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during engine restart may be noticeable. Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface. ■ Always apply parking brake. Apply manual parking brake without pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the foot brake at the same time to reduce operating force. Apply electric parking brake by pulling switch m for approx. one second. Control indicator m must illuminate. ■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock engages. ■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to P before switching off the ignition. 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 P before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb. ■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm system. Note 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. Driving and operating 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. take up to 25 minutes. Typically it needs between 7 and 12 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. full continue driving or warning code 55 appears in the Driver Information Centre. % 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 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 159 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 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 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. 160 Driving and operating 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 3 202, 3 271 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. 1) 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 can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low. AdBlue General information The selective catalytic reduction (BlueInjection) is a method to substantially reduce the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission. This is achieved by injecting a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system. The designation of the used DEF is AdBlue Ⓡ1). It is a non-toxic, nonflammable, colourless and odourless fluid which consists of 32 % urea and 68 % water. Registered trademark of the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA) 9 Warning Avoid contact of your eyes or skin with AdBlue. In case of eye or skin contact, rinse off with water. Caution Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue. In case of contact, rinse off with water. AdBlue freezes at a temperature of approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater, the emissions reduction at low temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue pre-heater works automatically. Level warnings The AdBlue consumption is approx. 4000 mpg and depends on the driving behaviour. Driving and operating maximum speed up to a prevention of an engine restart. The restrictions are a legal requirement. If the AdBlue level falls below a certain value, a level warning Exhaust Fluid Range: 1500 mi will be displayed in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue must be refilled soon. Driving is possible without any restrictions. If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain distance, further level warnings are displayed in the DIC depending on the current AdBlue level. The warnings announce restrictions, starting with limitations of the Before a limitation of the maximum speed is activated with the next restart, the warning messages ■ Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now ■ Max Speed Upon Restart 60 mph are alternately displayed in the DIC. Additionally the control indicator Y illuminates continuously and a warning chime sounds. 161 A speed limitation to 60 mph will be activated with approx. 560 miles exhaust fluid range remaining. After a further limitation of the maximum speed to 30 mph, a prevention of the engine restart will be announced. Before the prevention of the engine restart is activated, the warning messages ■ Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now ■ Speed Limited to 30 mph ■ Engine Will Not Restart are alternately displayed in the DIC. 162 Driving and operating Additionally the control indicator Y flashes continuously and a warning chime sounds repeatedly. To restart the engine, the tank must be filled with AdBlue first. Refilling AdBlue Caution Only use AdBlue that complies with European standards DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Do not use additives. Do not dilute AdBlue. Otherwise the selective catalytic reduction system could be damaged. Note Only use the designated AdBlue canisters for refilling to prevent a topping up of too much AdBlue. Additionally the fumes in the tank are captured in the canister and do not emerge. Since AdBlue has a limited durability, check the date of expiry before refilling. Note A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue must be added when refilling. Otherwise the refilling of AdBlue might not be detected by the system. If AdBlue must be refilled at temperatures below -11 °C, the refilling of AdBlue might not be detected by the system. In this case, park the vehicle in a space with a higher ambient temperature until AdBlue is liquefied. Note When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes might emerge. Do not inhale as the fumes have a pungent smell. The fumes are not harmful by inhalation. The vehicle must be parked on a level surface. The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap. The 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. 1. Remove key from ignition lock. 2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the vehicle. 3. Pull fuel filler flap at the recess and open 3 206. 4. Unscrew protective cap from the filler neck. 5. Open AdBlue canister. 6. Mount one end of the hose on the canister and screw the other end on the filler neck. 7. Lift the canister until it is empty. Driving and operating 8. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck. 9. Mount the protective cap and turn clockwise until it engages. Note Dispose AdBlue canister and hose according to environmental requirements. Exchanging AdBlue Automatic transmission 163 Selector lever The automatic transmission permits automatic gearshifting (automatic mode) or manual gearshifting (manual mode). Transmission display If not at least 5 litres of AdBlue have been refilled during the last 2 years, the remaining fluid should be exchanged since AdBlue has a limited lifetime. Caution Disregard could lead to damage to the selective catalytic reduction system. The mode or selected gear is shown in the transmission display. P = park position, wheels are locked, engage only when the vehicle is stationary and the parking brake is applied R = reverse gear, engage only when the vehicle is stationary N = neutral D = automatic mode with all gears The selector lever is locked in P and can only be moved when the ignition is on and the brake pedal is applied. 164 Driving and operating 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. Manual mode Engine braking To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill, see manual mode. 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. 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. Rocking the vehicle 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. Move selector lever out of position D towards the left and then forwards or backwards. < = Shift to a higher gear. Parking 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-Info-Display. Apply the parking brake and engage P. The ignition key can only be removed when the selector lever is in position P. ] = Shift to a lower gear. Driving and operating In manual mode no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high engine revolutions. Electronic driving programmes ■ 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 gear to idling when the vehicle is stopped with a forward gear engaged and the brake pedal is pressed. ■ When SPORT mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine speeds (unless cruise control is on). SPORT mode 3 171. ■ Special programmes automatically adapt the gearshift 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, g illuminates. Additionally a code number or a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 120. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Continued travel is possible with manual shifting. 165 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 3 256. If the vehicle battery is not the cause of the fault, release the selector lever. 1. Apply the parking brake. 166 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. 2. Release the selector lever trim from the centre console at the front, fold it upwards and rotate it to the left. Manual transmission To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary wait 3 seconds after depressing the clutch pedal and then 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. Driving and operating Caution It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever. 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 3 109. Antilock brake system Antilock brake system (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking. 167 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 3 110. Adaptive brake light During full braking, all three brake lights flash for the duration of ABS control. 168 Driving and operating Parking brake Fault 9 Warning Electric parking brake 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. 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. To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the foot brake at the same time. Control indicator R 3 109. Applying when vehicle is stationary Pull switch m for approx. one second; the electric parking brake is applied automatically with an 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 3 109. The electric parking brake can always be activated, even if the ignition is off. Driving and operating Do not operate electric parking brake system too often with engine not running, as this will discharge the vehicle battery. Before leaving the vehicle, check the electric parking brake status. Control indicator m 3 109. Releasing Switch on ignition. Keep brake pedal depressed and then press switch m. Drive away function Depressing clutch pedal (manual transmission) or engaging drive gear (automatic transmission) and then depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking brake automatically. This is not possible when the switch is pulled at the same time. This function also helps driving away on inclines. Aggressive drive-away may reduce lifetime of wear parts. 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 (DIC). Vehicle messages 3 120. Apply electric parking brake: pull and hold switch m for more than 5 seconds. If control indicator m illuminates, electric parking brake is applied. Release electric parking brake: press and hold switch m for more than 2 seconds. If control indicator m extinguishes, electric parking brake is released. 169 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 foot brake 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. 170 Driving and operating 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. 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 as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes. When TC is active 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 3 111. Deactivation TC can be switched off when spinning of drive wheels is required: press button b briefly. Control indicator k illuminates. Driving and operating TC is reactivated by pressing the b button 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. 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 as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes. When ESC is active 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 3 111. Deactivation For very high-performance driving ESC can be deactivated: hold button b depressed for approx. 5 seconds. Control indicator n illuminates. 171 ESC is reactivated by pressing the b button 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 button SPORT, LED illuminates. ■ TOUR mode: press button TOUR, LED illuminates. ■ Normal mode: both buttons SPORT and TOUR are not pressed, no LED illuminates. Deactivate SPORT mode and TOUR mode by pressing corresponding button once more. 172 Driving and operating In each driving mode Flex Ride networks the following electronic systems: ■ Continuous Damping Control. ■ Accelerator Pedal Control. ■ Steering Control. ■ 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. 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. ■ Shift points of automatic transmission occur in a comfort mode. ■ Illumination of main instruments is white. TOUR mode 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 Driving and operating 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 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 button is pressed. These settings can be changed in the menu Settings in the Info-Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 127. 173 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. 174 Driving and operating For safety reasons, the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once. Activation in first gear is not possible. Activation Accelerate to the desired speed and turn thumb wheel to SET/-, the current speed is stored and 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 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.

Automatic deactivation: ■ vehicle speed below approx. 20 mph, ■ vehicle speed above approx. 125 mph, ■ the brake pedal is depressed, ■ the clutch pedal is depressed for a few seconds, ■ selector lever in N, ■ engine speed in a very low range, ■ the Traction Control system or Electronic Stability Control is operating. Driving and operating Resume stored speed Turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a speed above 20 mph. The stored speed will be obtained. Activation 175 maximum speed. Speed limit is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Switching off Press button m, control indicator m in instrument cluster extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. Pressing button L for activating speed limiter or switching off the ignition also switches off cruise control and deletes the stored speed. 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. Press button L. If cruise control or adaptive cruise control has been activated before, it is switched off when speed limiter is activated and the control indicator m extinguishes. Set speed limit 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 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. 176 Driving and operating The limited speed will flash in the Driver Information Centre and a chime sounds during this period. Release the accelerator pedal and the speed limiter function is reactivated once a speed lower than the limit speed is obtained. By pressing button 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. Deactivation 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. 30 mph and brakes automatically to Press button 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 button L, the speed limit indication in the Driver Information Centre extinguishes. The stored speed is deleted. follow a slower vehicle driving ahead down to a minimum speed of 18 mph. Adaptive cruise control 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 after 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 3 113, m 3 113. Driving and operating 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. Activation by setting the speed Adaptive cruise control can be activated between 30 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. 177 The accelerator pedal can be released. Adaptive cruise control remains activated while gearshifting. Switching on Overriding set speed Press button C to switch on adaptive cruise control. The control indicator m illuminates white. The adaptive cruise control symbol, the following distance setting and set speed are indicated in the top line of the Driver Information Centre. 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. 178 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 The following distance can be set to near, medium or far. Resume stored speed Press button E, the current setting is shown on the Driver Information Centre. Press button E again to change the following distance. The setting is also displayed in the top line of the Driver Information Centre. 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. With adaptive cruise control active, if the vehicle is driven 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/-. If the system is switched on but inactive, then turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a speed above 30 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. 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 on 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 179 The green illuminated "vehicle ahead" control indicator A is displayed in the speedometer when the system detects a vehicle in the driving path. 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: ■ button y is pressed, ■ brake pedal is applied, ■ clutch pedal is depressed for more than four seconds, ■ 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, ■ Traction Control system is operating for more than 20 seconds, 180 Driving and operating ■ Electronic Stability Control is 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, ■ collision imminent braking system is applying the brakes, ■ radar sensor is blocked by an ice or water film, ■ 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 button 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 require 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 completely suppresses 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. ■ After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle. Driving and operating 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 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. 181 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 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 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 in the driving path or not. Adaptive cruise control may not be able to 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. 182 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 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 3 127. 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 3 120. 183 on vehicles equipped with adaptive cruise control 3 176. ■ Forward collision alert based on front camera system on vehicles with traditional cruise control or none 3 173. Forward collision alert The forward collision alert can help to avoid or reduce the damage caused by front-end crashes. 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 3 127 or that it is not deactivated by the button 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 distance of max. 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 3 127. Selecting the alert sensitivity The alert sensitivity can be set to near, medium or far. 184 Driving and operating Alerting the driver Press button E; the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press button 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 lights up 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 185 Alerting the driver A green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A lights up 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 3 127. 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 button V, see below. Selecting the alert sensitivity The alert sensitivity can be set to near, medium or far. Press button V; the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press button 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. 186 Driving and operating Deactivation The system can be deactivated. Press button 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 on 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, such as 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 3 114. Press the MENU button 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 3 183. 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 3 127. 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 187 shall continue to apply the brake pedal as the driving situation dictates. 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 188 Driving and operating results immediately in a strong braking. This function helps the driver brake quicker and stronger before the imminent collision. 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, 3 127. 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, vehicle messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 120. Driving and operating Parking assist 9 Warning The driver bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. Always check the surrounding area when driving backwards or forwards while using parking assist system. behind the vehicle. The system gives acoustic signals and display messages. The system has four ultrasonic parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper. It uses two different acoustic warning signals for the front and rear monitoring areas, each with a different tone frequency. Control indicator r 3 110. 189 Activation Button D The front-rear parking assist measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and Parking assist is activated and deactivated by pressing the parking assist button D. If the vehicle is equipped with parking assist and advanced parking assist 3 191 both use the same button to operate the systems. For activating or deactivating parking assist, press button D once briefly. For activating or deactivating advanced parking assist, press button D for approx. one second. If one system is active, it is possible to switch between both systems by pressing the button shorter or longer. When reverse gear is engaged, the system is activated automatically. The front parking assist can also be activated at a low speed by pressing the parking assist button D briefly. An illuminated LED in the parking assist button indicates that the system is ready to operate. Indication The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against obstacles in front of or behind the vehicle. Depending on which of the sensors 190 Driving and operating are closer to an obstacle, you will hear a buzzing sound of the respective sensors. The interval between the sounds becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle. When the distance is less than 30 cm, the buzzing is continuous. Additionally, the distance to obstacles can be shown in the Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 114. On version with Uplevel-Display, the distance to a front obstacle is indicated by changing segments. On version with Uplevel-CombiDisplay, the distance to a front and rear obstacle is indicated by changing distance lines around the vehicle. The distance indication in the display can be inhibited and overwritten by vehicle messages with a higher priority. Once the distance indication is overwritten by a vehicle message, distance is no longer indicated until parking assist is activated again. Deactivation Deactivate the system by pressing the parking assist button D briefly. The LED in the button extinguishes and Park Assist Off will be displayed in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). The system is deactivated automatically when exceeding a certain speed. If button D is pressed once within an ignition cycle, the front parking assist is always reactivated when the vehicle speed goes below a certain value. Fault In the event of a fault in the system, r illuminates or a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). If the system does not work due to temporary conditions like snow covered sensors, r illuminates or a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). Vehicle messages 3 120. Driving and operating 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 has to be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper. Caution Performance of the sensor 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 involved (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross section, like objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist will not detect objects out of the detection range. Note The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in. The sensor may detect a nonexisting object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustical or mechanic disturbances. Note 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. 191 Advanced parking assist 9 Warning The driver bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. Always check the surrounding area when driving backwards or forwards while using parking assist system. The advanced parking assist system manoeuvres the driver into a parking slot by giving instructions on the Driver Information Centre and acoustic signals. 192 Driving and operating The system uses the sensors of the parking assist system in combination with two additional sensors on both sides of the front bumper and the rear bumper. Activation Functionality When looking for a parking slot, the system has to be activated by pressing the button D for approx. one second. The system can only be activated at a speed up to 18 mph and the system searches for a parking slot at a speed up to 18 mph. The maximum allowed parallel distance between the vehicle and a row of parking cars is 1.8 metres. When the vehicle passes a row of cars and the system is activated, the advanced parking assist system begins looking for a suitable parking slot. When a suitable slot is detected, a visual feedback on the Driver Information Centre and an acoustic signal are given. If the driver does not stop the vehicle within 10 metres after a parking slot is proposed, the system starts to search for another suitable parking slot. Button D Advanced parking assist and parking assist 3 189 both use the same button to operate the systems. For activating or deactivating parking assist press button once briefly. For activating or deactivating advanced parking assist press button D for approx. one second. If one system is active, it can be switched between both systems by pressing the button shorter or longer. Driving and operating The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle is stopped by the driver within 10 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. The instructions 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. 193 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 on the passenger side. To detect parking slots on the driver side, switch turn indicator to the driver side. 194 Driving and operating Display priorities After activating the advanced parking assist, a message appears on the Driver Information Centre. Indication of messages with higher priority, e.g. vehicle messages 3 120 will be displayed. After approving the message by pressing the SET/CLR button, parking assist messages appear again and parking can be continued. Fault A message appears in the Driver Information Centre when: ■ there is a fault in the system ■ the driver did not successfully complete the parking manoeuvre ■ the system is not operational Important hints for using the 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. Deactivation The system is deactivated by: ■ pressing button D for approx. one second ■ parking manoeuvre successfully ended ■ driving faster than 18 mph ■ switching off the ignition Deactivation by the driver or by the system during manoeuvring will be indicated by Parking Deactivated in the Driver Information Centre. approx. one second to activate the system and search for a new parking slot. Caution If an object is detected during parking instructions, Stop is indicated in the Driver Information Centre. Removing the object will resume the parking manoeuvre. If the object is not removed, the system will be deactivated. Press button D for Performance of the sensor 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. Driving and operating Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles involved (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross section, like objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist will not detect objects out of the detection range. Note 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. Note Before using the advanced parking assist the first time, the vehicle has to be driven at least for 25 miles to calibrate the system automatically. 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. 195 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. 196 Driving and operating The system can be activated or deactivated in the menu Settings in the Info-Display, vehicle personalisation 3 127. Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre (DIC). 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. 3 metres on both sides of the vehicle. This zone starts at each exterior mirror and extends rearwards by approx. 3 metres. The height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 metres and 2 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 and will increase in wet conditions. Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavy rainstorms. Cleaning instructions 3 259.

After the traffic sign page is cleared by the system, the following symbol is indicated: 200 Driving and operating Pop-up function Speed limits and no passing signs are displayed as pop-ups on each page of the Driver Information Centre. The content of the traffic sign page is also cleared during driving by pressing the SET/CLR button on the turn signal lever for longer. The pop-up function can be deactivated on the traffic sign page by pressing the SET/CLR button on the turn signal lever. Once setting page is displayed, select Off to deactivate pop-up function. Reactivated by selecting On. When switching on the ignition, pop-up function is deactivated. Pop-up indication is displayed for approx. 8 seconds in the Driver Information Centre. Driving and operating Fault The traffic sign assistant system may not operate correctly when: ■ the area of the windscreen, where the front camera is located, is not clean ■ traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to discern ■ there are adverse environmental conditions, e.g. heavy rain, snow, direct sunlight or shadows. In this case No Traffic Sign Detection due to Weather is indicated on the display ■ traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged ■ traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on traffic signs (Wiener Übereinkommen über Straßenverkehrszeichen) Caution The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed range to discern certain traffic signs. Do not ignore traffic signs which are not displayed by the system. The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic signs that might give or end a speed limit. Do not let this special feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Always adapt speed to the road conditions. The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full responsibility for vehicle operation. 201 Criteria for the detection of an unintended lane change are: ■ no operation of turn signals ■ no brake pedal operation ■ no active accelerator operation or speeding-up ■ no active steering If the driver is active, no warning will be issued. Activation Lane departure warning The lane departure warning system observes the lane markings between which the vehicle is driving via a front camera. The system detects lane changes and warns the driver in the event of an unintended lane change via visual and acoustic signals. The lane departure warning system is activated by pressing the ) button. The illuminated LED in the button indicates that the system is switched 202 Driving and operating on. When the control indicator ) in the instrument cluster illuminates green, the system is ready to operate. The system is only operable at vehicle speeds above 35 mph and if lane markings are available. When the system recognises an unintended lane change, the control indicator ) changes to yellow and flashes. Simultaneously a chime sound is activated. 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 The system can not operate when no lane marking is detected. Fuel Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent. Your engine is capable of running with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to 10 % bioethanol. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 271. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption. Caution Do not use fuel or fuel additives that contain metallic compounds such as manganese-based additives. This may cause engine damage. Deactivation The system is deactivated by pressing ) button, the LED in the button extinguishes. Driving and operating Caution Caution 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. 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. 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. 203 Fuel selector 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 natural gas operation Use natural gas with a methane content of approx. 78 - 99 %. L-gas (low) has approx. 78 - 87 % and H-gas (high) has approx. 87 - 99 %. Biogas with the same methane content can also be used if it has been chemically prepared and desulphurised. Only use natural gas or biogas that complies with DIN 51624. Liquid gas or LPG must not be used. Pressing button Y switches between petrol and natural gas operation. Switching is not possible at high loads (e.g. strong acceleration, running at full throttle). The LED status shows the current operating mode. 1 off = natural gas operation. 1 illumi‐ = petrol operation. nates 1 flashes = no switching is possible, one type of fuel is empty. 204 Driving and operating As soon as the natural gas tank is empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged until the ignition is switched off. If the natural gas tank is not refuelled, the system must be manually switched to petrol operation before the engine is started-up again. This will prevent damage to the catalytic converter (overheating caused by irregular fuel supply). If the selector switch is operated several times within a short time, a switchover block is activated. The engine remains in the current operating mode. The block remains active until the ignition is switched off. A slight loss of power and torque can be expected during petrol operation. You must therefore adapt your driving style (e.g. during overtaking manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g. towing loads) accordingly. Every six months run the petrol tank down until control indicator Y illuminates, then refuel. This is necessary to maintain fuel quality as well as system function necessary for petrol operation. Fill the tank completely at regular intervals to prevent corrosion in the tank. 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 Pressing the LPG button switches between petrol and liquid gas operation as soon as the required parameters (coolant temperature, Driving and operating 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 illumi‐ = liquid gas operation nates 1 flashes = no switching is possible, one type of fuel is empty As soon as the liquid gas tank is empty, petrol operation is automatically engaged until the ignition is switched off. 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. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of all other faults. 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. 205 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 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. Note In the event of an accident, switch off the ignition and lights. 206 Driving and operating 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 an authorized dealer. Caution 9 Danger Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch off any mobile phones. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling. 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. Petrol and Diesel refuelling To open, turn the cap slowly anticlockwise. Driving and operating Vehicles with misfuel inhibitor 9 Warning Do not try to open the flap of the fuel filler neck manually on vehicles with misfuel inhibitor. Disregarding this could lead to trapping of the fingers. The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. For refuelling, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. After automatic cut-off, it can be topped up with max. two doses of fuel. Caution Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately. To close, turn the fuel filler cap clockwise until it clicks. Close the flap and let engage. Vehicles with a selective catalytic reduction system are equipped with a misfuel inhibitor. 207 The misfuel inhibitor ensures that the flap of the fuel filler neck can only be opened by using a nozzle for diesel fuel or a funnel for emergency refilling. Turn the fuel filler cap slowly anticlockwise. The cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. Place the nozzle in straight position to the filler neck and press with slight force to insert. In case of an emergency refilling with a canister, a funnel must be used to open the cap of the filler neck. 208 Driving and operating The funnel is located on the right side storage in the load compartment. Place the funnel in straight position to the filler neck and press with slight force to insert. Use the funnel to fill in the diesel fuel into the filler neck. After topping up, put the funnel into the plastic bag and stow it in the storage compartment. Selective catalytic reduction system 3 160. Natural gas refuelling The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap. 9 Warning Refuel only with a maximum output pressure of 250 bar. Use only temperature compensated filling stations. The refuelling procedure must be completed, i.e. the filler neck must be vented. The capacity of the natural gas tank depends on outside temperature, filling pressure and type of refuelling system.

The CO2 emission (combined) is within a range of 169 to 109 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. Natural gas engines The gas consumption (combined) of the model Vauxhall Zafira is 9 mpg. The CO2 emission (combined) is 129 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 version respectively applicable), 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. 211 Natural gas The fuel consumption information was obtained using reference fuel G20 (methane proportion 99 - 100 mol%) under prescribed driving conditions. When using natural gas with a lower proportion of methane, the fuel consumption can differ from the specified values. 212 Driving and operating Trailer hitch General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Vehicles with natural gas engines require special towing equipment. 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 4x 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 Trailer towing 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 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 3 279. 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). Trailer loads Driving and operating The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 266. 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)2) 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. 2) Rear axle load 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. 213 Stowage of coupling ball bar Towing equipment Caution When operating without a trailer, remove the coupling ball bar. The bag with the coupling ball bar is stowed in the load compartment. Place the strap through the right rear lashing eye, wrap around twice and tighten the strap to secure the bag. Engine B16DTH: Depending on the equipment the maximum permissible vertical coupling load can be 75 kg or 60 kg. 214 Driving and operating Fitting the coupling ball bar Disengage and fold down the socket. Remove the sealing plug from the opening for the coupling ball bar and stow it. Checking the tensioning of the coupling ball bar ■ Pull out rotary knob and turn clockwise as far as it will go. ■ Red marking on rotary knob must point towards green marking on coupling ball bar. ■ The gap between the rotary knob and the coupling ball bar must be approx. 6 mm. ■ The key must be in position c. Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must be tensioned before being inserted: ■ Unlock coupling ball bar by turning key to position c. Inserting the coupling ball bar Driving and operating Insert the tensioned coupling ball bar in the opening and push firmly upwards until it audibly engages. The rotary handle snaps back into its original position resting against the coupling ball bar without a gap. Eye for break-away stopping cable ■ The coupling ball bar must be firmly engaged in the opening. ■ The coupling ball bar must be locked and the key removed. 9 Warning 9 Warning Towing a trailer is permitted only when a coupling ball bar is fitted correctly. If the coupling ball bar does not engage correctly, seek the assistance of a workshop. Do not touch rotary handle during insertion. Lock the coupling ball bar by turning the key to position e. Remove the key and close the protective flap. 215 Attach breakaway stopping cable to eye. Check that the coupling ball bar is correctly installed ■ Green marking on rotary knob must point towards green marking on coupling ball bar. ■ There must be no gap between the rotary handle and the coupling ball bar. Dismounting the coupling ball bar 216 Driving and operating Open the protective flap and turn the key to position c to unlock the coupling ball bar. Pull out rotary handle and turn clockwise as far as it will go. Pull out coupling ball bar downwards. Insert sealing plug in opening. Fold away socket. Trailer stability assist If the system detects snaking movements, engine power is reduced and the vehicle/trailer combination is selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible. Trailer stability assist (TSA) is a function of the Electronic Stability Control 3 171. Vehicle care Vehicle care General Information ................... 217 Vehicle checks ........................... 218 Bulb replacement ....................... 226 Electrical system ........................ 234 Vehicle tools .............................. 241 Wheels and tyres ....................... 241 Jump starting ............................. 256 Towing ....................................... 257 Appearance care ....................... 259 General Information Accessories and vehicle modifications We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory approved parts specific for your vehicle type.

Bonnet Opening Move the safety catch sideways to the left vehicle side and open the bonnet. The bonnet is held open automatically by a lifter. If the bonnet is opened during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically for safety reasons. Closing Pull the release lever and return it to its original position. 219 Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop into the catch. Check that the bonnet is engaged. 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 3 264. Check with the vehicle on a level surface. The engine must be at operating temperature and switched off for at least 5 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. 220 Vehicle care When the engine oil level has dropped to the MIN mark, top up engine oil. Different dipsticks are used depending on engine variant. 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. On some engines a funnel is needed to top up engine oil. A funnel is located on the right side storage in the load compartment. Use the funnel to fill in the engine oil into the engine oil opening. After topping up, put the funnel into the plastic bag and stow it in the storage compartment. Caution Overfilled engine oil must be drained or suctioned out. Capacities 3 278. Fit the cap on straight and tighten it. Vehicle care Engine coolant Engine B16DTH: After starting the engine, set the heating to warmest temperature and the fan speed to at least first level for approx. 5 minutes. This will ensure that the air within the cooling system escapes. Have the coolant concentration checked and have the cause of the coolant loss remedied by a workshop. 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 Power steering fluid Only use approved antifreeze. Coolant level Caution Too low a coolant level can cause engine damage. 221 If the cooling system is cold, the coolant level should be above the filling line mark. Top up if the level is low. 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 released coolant concentrate mixed with clean tap water. If no coolant concentrate is available, use clean tap water. Install the cap tightly. Caution 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. 222 Vehicle care Washer fluid 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. Power steering fluid level normally does not have to be checked. If an unusual noise sounds during steering or the power steering reacts conspicuous seek the assistance of a workshop. Brake fluid Fill with clean water mixed with a suitable quantity of windscreen washer fluid which contains antifreeze. Caution Only washer fluid with a sufficient antifreeze concentration provides protection at low temperatures or a sudden drop in temperature. 9 Warning Brake fluid is poisonous and corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. Vehicle care 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. 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 3 264. Vehicle battery Vehicles without stop-start system will be equipped with a lead acid battery.

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 Some tools, the towing eye and (only on vehicles with spare wheel) the vehicle jacking equipment are placed in the rear storage in the load compartment floor. Open the cover in front of the tailgate. 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. 242 Vehicle care 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 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. Tyre pressure 3 279. The tyre and loading 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 engine identifier code. Engine data 3 271. 2. Identify the respective tyre. The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 279. 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. Vehicle care 9 Warning Caution 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. Tyre pressure monitoring system warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace regular tyre maintenance by the driver. If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased on a vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring system, switch off ignition. After adjusting tyre pressure, switch on ignition and select the appropriate setting on the page Tyre load in the Driver Information Centre, 3 114. All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. Tyre pressure monitoring system The tyre pressure monitoring system checks the pressure of all four wheels once a minute when vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit. Note 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. 243 Press the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information Menu X. 244 Vehicle care 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. A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by the control indicator w 3 111. If w illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended 3 279. After inflating, driving may be required to update the tyre pressure values in the DIC. During this time w may illuminate. If w illuminates up at lower temperatures and extinguishes after some driving, this could be an indicator for getting low pressure. Check tyre pressure. Vehicle messages 3 120. 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. External high-power radio equipment could disrupt the tyre pressure monitoring system. 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 3 279, and select the appropriate setting in the menu Tire Load in the Driver Information Centre, Vehicle Information Menu 3 114. Vehicle care 12 mph. In this case $ can be displayed or pressure values can swap in the Driver Information Centre. If problems occur during the relearn process, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. 245 For safety reasons, it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm. Temperature dependency Select: ■ Light for comfort pressure up to 3 people ■ Eco for Eco pressure up to 3 people ■ Max for full loading Auto learn function After changing wheels, the vehicle must be stationary for approx. 20 minutes, before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes of driving with a minimum speed of Tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Centre shows the actual tyre pressure. Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with cold tyres. 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). 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 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 remains the same. 246 Vehicle care Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years. Changing tyre and wheel size 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. 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. Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout. Tyre chains are only permitted on tyres of size 215/60 R 16 and 225/50 R 17. Vehicle care 247 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. 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 on the left side in the load compartment behind a cover. 1. Take the tyre repair kit from the compartment. 2. Remove the compressor. 3. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the stowage compartments on the underside of the compressor. 248 Vehicle care 4. Screw the compressor air hose to the connection on the sealant bottle. 5. Fit the sealant bottle into the retainer on the compressor. Set the compressor near the tyre in such a way that the sealant bottle is upright. 6. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre. 7. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve. 8. 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 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 279. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the Vehicle care 14. 15. 16. 17. tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button over the pressure indicator. Do not run the compressor longer than 10 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 10 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. Note The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. 249 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. Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 247. 250 Vehicle care Make the following preparations and observe the following information: ■ Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front wheels must be in the straight-ahead position. ■ Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P. ■ Remove the spare wheel 3 252. ■ Never change more than one wheel at once. ■ Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change. ■ If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack. ■ Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up. ■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up. ■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. ■ Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack. ■ Clean wheel nuts and thread with a clean cloth before mounting the wheel. Alloy wheels: Disengage wheel nut caps with a screwdriver and remove. To protect the wheel, place a soft cloth between the screwdriver and the alloy wheel. 9 Warning Do not grease wheel bolt, wheel nut and wheel nut cone. 1.

Stow the replaced wheel 3 252, the vehicle tools 3 241 and the key adapter 3 62. 14. Check the tyre pressure of the installed tyre and the wheel nut torque as soon as possible. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. Jacking position for lifting platform Front arm position of the lifting platform at the underbody. Rear arm position of the lifting platform centrically under the recess of the sill. Spare wheel Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel. If mounting a spare wheel, which is different from the other wheels, this wheel might be classified as a temporary spare wheel and the corresponding speed limits apply, even though no label indicates this. Seek the assistance of a workshop to check the applicable speed limit. Vehicle care 253 The spare wheel has a steel rim. Caution The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible. The spare wheel is located in a holder beneath the vehicle floor. 1. Open the stowage in the load compartment 3 241. 2. Remove both caps above the hexagon bolts. 3. Fit the wheel wrench on one hexagon bolt and turn it anticlockwise until a resistance is noticeable. 4. Proceed with the other hexagon bolt in the same way. 5. Lift the spare wheel holder and unhook both catches. 6. Lower the spare wheel holder. 7. Detach the safety cable. 254 Vehicle care 8. Lower holder all the way and remove spare wheel. 9. Change the wheel. The damaged wheel has to be secured in the load compartment, see below. 10. Lift the empty spare wheel holder and insert the safety cable. 11. Lift the spare wheel holder farther and engage in both catches. The open sides of the catches must point in the direction of travel. 12. Close the empty spare wheel holder by turning both hexagon bolts clockwise successively using the wheel wrench. 13. Fit the caps above both hexagon bolts. 14. Stow wheel wrench and the jack in the stowage in front of the tailgate. 15. Close the stowage compartment cover. When stowing again the spare wheel in the spare wheel holder, note that the wheel is positioned with the tyre valve above the recess of the wheel holder. Stowing a damaged wheel in the load compartment The spare wheel holder is not designed for other tyre sizes than spare wheel. A damaged wheel wider than the spare wheel has to be stowed in the load compartment and secured with a strap. Vehicle tools 3 241. The seats of the third row must be folded in 3 75. 1. Position the wheel close to the left sidewall of the load compartment. 2. Place the loop end of the strap through the front lashing eye on the left side. 3.

Tighten the strap and secure it using the buckle. 9 Danger Always drive with folded up and engaged rear seat backrests when stowing a damaged full size wheel in the load compartment. Storing a jack, a wheel or other equipment in the load compartment could cause injury if they are not fixed properly. During a sudden stop or a collision, loose equipment could strike someone. Store jack and tools always in the respective storage compartments and secure them by fixing. Damaged wheel placed in the load compartment must always be secured by the strap. Temporary spare wheel The use of the temporary spare wheel could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible. Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time. 255 If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the rear while towing another vehicle, mount the temporary spare wheel in the front and the full tyre in the rear. Tyre chains 3 246. 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. 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. ■ Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces. 256 Vehicle care Jump starting Do not start with quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged battery can be started using jump leads and the 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 battery to naked flames or sparks. ■ A discharged battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads. ■ Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery. ■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged 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 battery from the vehicle. ■ Switch off all unnecessary electrical consumers. ■ Do not lean over the 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 batteries. Lead connection order: 1. Connect the red lead to the positive terminal of the booster battery. 2. Connect the other end of the red lead to the positive terminal of the discharged battery. Vehicle care 3. Connect the black lead to the negative terminal of the booster 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 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 5 minutes, start the other engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of 1 minute. 3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads connected. 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. 257 Towing Towing the vehicle Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the short edge of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver sidewards. To prevent damage it is recommended to place a cloth between the screwdriver and the frame. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 241. 258 Vehicle care Caution Towing another vehicle Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. 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. 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 bottom and close. Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the lower edge of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. To prevent damage it is recommended to place a cloth between the screwdriver and the frame. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 241. 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 bottom and engage. 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. 259 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. 260 Vehicle care 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. Caution Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of 4 to 9. Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces. Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop. Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner. 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. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner. 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. Wheels and tyres Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners. Vehicle care Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner. 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. 261 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. Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light- 262 Vehicle care coloured 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.

The detailed, up-to-date service schedule for your vehicle is available at the workshop. Service display 3 104. European service intervals Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 20000 miles or after 1 year, whichever occurs first, unless otherwise indicated in the service display. The European service intervals are valid for the following countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, BosniaHerzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Greenland, Hungary, 263 Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malta, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. Service display 3 104. International service intervals Maintenance of your vehicle is required every 10000 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 3 104. 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. 264 Service and maintenance 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 3 104. Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications. Damage resulting from the use of products not in line with these specifications will not be covered by the warranty. 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 ageing 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 gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used. Recommendations for gasoline 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 3 268. 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. Service and maintenance Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 268. 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 3 268. 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. AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission 3 160. 265 266 Technical data Technical data Vehicle identification .................. 266 Vehicle data ............................... 268 Vehicle identification Vehicle Identification Number and in the floor on the front passenger side behind a cover.

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 ■ 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 optimizing 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. 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. Customer information 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. 287 288 Index A Accessories and vehicle
