Driving hintsControl of the vehicleNever coast with engine notrunning (except during Autostop)Many systems will not function in thissituation (e.g. brake servo unit, powersteering). Driving in this manner is adanger to yourself and others. Allsystems function during an Autostop,but there will be a controlled reductionin power steering assist and vehiclespeed is reduced.Stop-start system 3 143.

Idle boostIf charging of the vehicle battery isrequired due to battery condition, thepower output of the generator mustbe increased. This will be achieved byan idle boost which may be audible.A message is displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.

PedalsTo ensure the pedal travel isuninhibited, there must be no mats inthe area of the pedals.Use only floor mats which fit properlyand are fixed by the retainers on thedriver's side.

SteeringIf power steering assist is lostbecause the engine stops or due to asystem malfunction, the vehicle canbe steered but may require increasedeffort.Control indicator c 3 90.

Caution

Vehicles equipped with hydraulicpower steering:If the steering wheel is turned untilit reaches the end of its travel, andis held in that position for morethan 15 seconds, damage mayoccur to the power steeringsystem and there may be loss ofpower steering assist.

Starting and operatingNew vehicle running-inDo not brake unnecessarily hard forthe first few journeys.During the first drive, smoke mayoccur because of wax and oilevaporating off the exhaust system.Park the vehicle in the open for awhile after the first drive and avoidinhaling the fumes.During the running-in period fuel andengine oil consumption may behigher and the cleaning process ofthe exhaust filter may take place moreoften. Autostop may be inhibited toallow for charging the battery.Exhaust filter 3 146.

Retained power offThe following electronic systems canwork until the driver's door is openedor at the latest for ten minutes afterthe ignition is switched off:

● power windows● sunroof● power outlets

Power to the Infotainment system willcontinue to operate for 30 minutes oruntil the key is removed from theignition switch, regardless of whetherany door will be opened.

Starting the engine

Manual transmission: operate clutch.Automatic transmission: operatebrake and move the selector lever toP or N.Do not operate the accelerator pedal.

Diesel engine: turn the key to position2 for preheating until controlindicator ! extinguishes.Turn the key briefly to position 3 andrelease: an automatic procedureoperates the starter with a short delayas long as the engine is running, seeAutomatic Starter Control.Before restarting or to switch off theengine, turn the key back to position0.During an Autostop, the engine canbe started by depressing the clutchpedal.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesStarting the engine without additionalheaters is possible down to -25 °С fordiesel engines and -30 °C for petrolengines. Required is an engine oilwith the correct viscosity, the correctfuel, performed services and asufficiently charged vehicle battery.With temperatures below -30 °C theautomatic transmission needs awarming phase of approx. fiveminutes. The selector lever must bein position P.


Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot need to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● 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-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.

Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut offduring overrun, i.e. when the vehicleis driven with a gear engaged butaccelerator pedal is released.Depending on driving conditions, theoverrun cut-off may be deactivated.

Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to savefuel and to reduce the exhaustemissions. When conditions allow, itswitches off the engine as soon as thevehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in atraffic jam. It starts the engineautomatically as soon as the clutch isdepressed. A battery sensor ensuresthat an Autostop is only performed ifthe vehicle battery is sufficientlycharged for a restart.

ActivationThe stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, thevehicle starts-off and the conditionsas stated below in this section arefulfilled.

Deactivation

after the engine has beenswitched off 3 202.

Caution

After running at high enginespeeds or with high engine loads,operate the engine briefly at a lowload or run in neutral for

approx. 30 seconds beforeswitching off, in order to protectthe turbocharger.

NoteIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isturned off automatically if the vehiclecomes to a standstill within a certaintime.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Exhaust filterThe exhaust filter is a particle filter fordiesel and gasoline engines.


Automatic cleaning processThe exhaust filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification. The filter is cleanedby periodically burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Typically itneeds between seven and twelveminutes. Autostop is not availableand fuel consumption may be higherduring this period. The emission ofsmells and smoke during this processis normal.

System requires cleaning

Under certain conditions, e.g. drivingshort distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If cleaning of the filter is required andif previous driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, it will beindicated by illumination of % and awarning message in the DriverInformation Centre.% illuminates along with a warningmessage when exhaust filter is full.Start cleaning process as soon aspossible.

% flashes along with a warningmessage when exhaust filter hasreached the maximum filling level.Start cleaning process immediately toavoid damage to the engine.

Activate self-cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 rpm. Shift down ifnecessary. Exhaust filter cleaning isthen started.Cleaning process is completed morequickly at high engine speeds andloads.Control indicator % extinguishes assoon as the self-cleaning operation iscomplete. Keep on driving until self-cleaning operation is complete.

Caution

If possible, do not interruptcleaning process. Drive untilcleaning is completed to avoid theneed for service or repair by aworkshop.


Cleaning process not possibleIf cleaning is not possible for anyreason, control indicator gilluminates additionally. Enginepower may be reduced. Seek theassistance of a workshopimmediately.

Catalytic converterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 189, 3 263 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, drivingcan be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.

Upshift indication 3 90.


BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing your journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 89.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.Control indicator u 3 90.

Adaptive brake lightDuring full braking, all three brakelights flash for the duration of ABScontrol.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.

Dynamic braking when vehicle ismovingWhen the vehicle is moving and theswitch m is kept pulled, the electricparking brake system will deceleratethe vehicle, but will not applystatically.As soon as the switch m is released,dynamic braking will be stopped.

FaultFailure mode of electric parking brakeis indicated by control indicator j andby a code number or a vehiclemessage which is displayed in theDriver Information Centre. Vehiclemessages 3 100.

Apply electric parking brake: pull andhold the switch m for more than fiveseconds . If control indicator milluminates, electric parking brake isapplied.Release electric parking brake: pushand hold the switch m for more thantwo seconds. If control indicator mextinguishes, electric parking brake isreleased.Control indicator m flashes: electricparking brake is not fully applied orreleased. When continuouslyflashing, release electric parkingbrake and retry applying.

Brake assistIf the brake pedal is depressedquickly and forcefully, maximumbrake force is automatically applied(full braking).Maintain steady pressure on thebrake pedal for as long as full brakingis required. Maximum brake force isautomatically reduced when thebrake pedal is released.

Hill start assistThe system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away oninclines.When releasing the brake pedal afterstopping on an incline, the brakesremain on for a further two seconds.The brakes release automatically assoon as the vehicle begins toaccelerate.The hill start assist is not active duringan Autostop.


Ride control systemsTraction Control systemThe Traction Control system (TC) is acomponent of the Electronic StabilityControl (ESC) 3 156.TC improves driving stability whennecessary, regardless of the type ofroad surface or tyre grip, bypreventing the drive wheels fromspinning.As soon as the drive wheels starts tospin, engine output is reduced andthe wheel spinning the most is brakedindividually. This considerablyimproves the driving stability of thevehicle on slippery road surfaces.TC is operational after each enginestart as soon as control indicator bextinguishes.When TC operates b flashes.

Adaptive cruise controlAdaptive cruise control is anenhancement to traditional cruisecontrol with the additional feature ofmaintaining a certain distance behindthe vehicle ahead.Adaptive cruise control automaticallydecelerates the vehicle whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle.It then adjusts the vehicle speed tofollow the vehicle ahead at theselected following distance. Thevehicle speed increases or decreasesto follow the vehicle in front, but willnot exceed the set speed. It mayapply limited braking with activatedbrake lights.The adaptive cruise control can storeand maintain speeds over approx.50 km/h and brakes automatically tofollow a slower vehicle driving aheadto a minimum speed of 30 km/h.


Adaptive cruise control uses a radarsensor to detect the vehicles ahead.If no vehicle is detected in the drivingpath, the adaptive cruise control willbehave like a traditional cruisecontrol.For safety reasons, the systemcannot be activated before the brakepedal has been depressed oncesince switching on ignition. Activationin first gear is not possible.Adaptive cruise control is mainlyadvised to be used on long straightroads, e.g. highways or country roadswith steady traffic. Do not use thesystem if it is not advisable tomaintain a constant speed.Control indicator A 3 94, m 3 93.

9 Warning

The complete driver attention isalways required while driving withadaptive cruise control. The driverstays fully in control of the vehiclebecause the brake pedal, theaccelerator pedal and the cancelswitch have priority over anyadaptive cruise control operation.

Switching on

Press C to switch on adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator milluminates white.

Activation by setting the speedAdaptive cruise control can beactivated between 50 km/h and180 km/h.Accelerate to the desired speed andturn thumb wheel to SET/-, thecurrent speed is stored andmaintained. Control indicator milluminates green.

Overriding set speedIt is always possible to drive fasterthan the selected set speed bydepressing the accelerator pedal.When the accelerator pedal isreleased, the vehicle returns to thedesired distance if a slower vehicle isahead. Otherwise it returns to thestored speed.


Once the system is activated,adaptive cruise control decelerates orbrakes if it detects a vehicle ahead,which is slower or closer than thedesired following distance.

9 Warning

Accelerating by the driverdeactivates automatic braking bythe system. This is indicated as apop-up warning in the DriverInformation Centre.

Increase speedWith adaptive cruise control active,hold thumb wheel turned to RES/+:speed increases continuously in largeincrements, or activate repeatedlyRES/+: speed increases in smallincrements.If the vehicle is driven with adaptivecruise control active much faster thanthe desired speed, e.g. afterdepressing the accelerator pedal,then the current speed can be storedand maintained by turning the thumbwheel to SET/-.

Reduce speedWith adaptive cruise control active,hold thumb wheel turned to SET/-:speed decreases continuously inlarge increments, or activaterepeatedly SET/-: speed decreases insmall increments.If the vehicle is driven with adaptivecruise control active much slowerthan the desired speed, e.g. becauseof a slower vehicle ahead, then thecurrent speed can be stored andmaintained by turning the thumbwheel to SET/-.

Resume stored speedIf the system is switched on butinactive, then turn thumb wheel toRES/+ at a speed above 50 km/h toresume the stored speed.

Setting the following distanceWhen adaptive cruise control detectsa slower moving vehicle in the drivingpath, it will adjust the vehicle speed tomaintain the following distanceselected by the driver.

9 Warning

The driver accepts fullresponsibility for the appropriatefollowing distance based on traffic,weather and visibility conditions.Following distance must beadjusted or the system switchedoff when required by the prevailingconditions.

Detecting the vehicle ahead

The green illuminated vehicle aheadcontrol indicator A is displayed in thespeedometer when the systemdetects a vehicle in the driving path.

If this symbol does not display, ordisplays briefly, adaptive cruisecontrol will not respond to vehiclesahead.

DeactivationAdaptive cruise control is deactivatedby the driver when:● y is pressed.● The brake pedal is depressed.● The clutch pedal is depressed for

more than four seconds.● The gear selector lever of

automatic transmission is movedto N.

The system is also automaticallydeactivated when:● Vehicle speed slows down below

45 km/h or accelerates above190 km/h.

● The Traction Control system (TC)is operating for more than20 seconds.

● The Electronic Stability Control(ESC) is operating.


● There is no traffic and nothingdetected on the road sides forseveral minutes. In this case,there are no radar echoes andthe sensor may report that it isblocked.

● The collision imminent brakingsystem is applying the brakes.

● The radar sensor is blocked byan ice or water film.

● A fault is detected in the radar,engine or brake system.

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated automatically, the controlindicator m illuminates white and awarning symbol is displayed as a pop-up in the Driver Information Centre.

The stored speed is maintained.

9 Warning

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the driver must takeover full brake and engine control.

Switching offPress C to switch off adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator mextinguishes. The stored speed isdeleted.Switching off the ignition alsoswitches off adaptive cruise controland deletes the stored speed.

Driver's attention● Use adaptive cruise control

carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicleahead and need time to detect itagain.

● Do not use the system onslippery roads as it can createrapid changes in tyre traction(wheel spinning), so that youcould lose control.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol during rain, snow orheavy dirt, as the radar sensorcan be covered by a water film,dust, ice or snow. This reduces orsuppresses completely thevisibility. In case of sensorblockage, clean the sensorcover.

System limits● The system's automatic brake

force does not permit hardbraking and the braking levelmay not be sufficient to avoid acollision.


● After a sudden lane change, thesystem needs a certain time todetect the next precedingvehicle. So if a new vehicle isdetected, the system mayaccelerate instead of braking.

● Adaptive cruise control doesignore the oncoming traffic.

● Adaptive cruise control does notbrake for stopped vehicles,pedestrians or animals.

Bends

The adaptive cruise control calculatesa predicted path based on thecentrifugal force. This predicted pathconsiders the current bendcharacteristic, but cannot consider afuture bend change. The system maylose the current vehicle ahead orconsider a vehicle which is not in theactual lane. This can happen when

entering or exiting a bend or if thebend gets stronger or weaker. If it nolonger detects any vehicle ahead,then control indicator A willextinguish.If the centrifugal force is too high in abend, the system slows down thevehicle slightly. This braking level isnot designed to avoid spinning off thebend. The driver is responsible forreducing the selected speed beforeentering a bend and in general toadapt the speed to the road type andto existing speed limits.

MotorwaysOn motorways, adapt the set speedto the situation and the weather.Always consider that adaptive cruisecontrol has a limited visibility range, alimited braking level and a certainreaction time to verify if a vehicle is onthe driving path or not. Adaptive

cruise control may not be able tobrake the vehicle in time to avoid acollision with a much slower vehicle orafter a lane change. This isparticularly true if driving fast or if thevisibility is reduced due to weatherconditions.While entering or exiting a motorway,adaptive cruise control may lose thevehicle ahead and accelerate up tothe set speed. For this reason,decrease the set speed before theexit or before the entry.

Vehicle path changes

If another vehicle enters your drivingpath, adaptive cruise control will firstconsider the vehicle when it iscompletely in your path. Be ready totake action and depress the brakepedal, if you need to brake morequickly.


Hill and trailer considerations

System performance on hills andwhen towing a trailer depends on yourvehicle speed, vehicle load, trafficconditions and the road gradient. Itmay not detect a vehicle in your pathwhile driving on hills. On steep hills,you may have to use the acceleratorpedal to maintain your vehicle speed.When going downhill, especiallywhen towing a trailer, you may haveto brake to maintain or reduce yourspeed.Note that applying the brakedeactivates the system. It is notrecommended to use adaptive cruisecontrol on steep hills especially whentowing a trailer.

Radar unit

The radar unit is mounted behind theradiator grille below the brandemblem.

9 Warning

The radar unit was alignedcarefully during manufacture.Therefore, after a frontal accident,do not use the system. The frontbumper may appear to be intact,however the sensor behind can beout of position and reactincorrectly. After an accident,

consult a workshop to verify andcorrect the adaptive cruise controlsensor position.

General information for bothvariants of forward collision alert

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just awarning system and does notapply the brakes. When

approaching a vehicle ahead toorapidly, it may not provide youenough time to avoid a collision.The driver accepts fullresponsibility for the appropriatefollowing distance based on traffic,weather and visibility conditions.The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver must always beready to take action and apply thebrakes.

System limitationsThe system is designed to warn onlyfor vehicles, but may react also toother metallic objects.In the following cases, forwardcollision alert may not detect a vehicleahead or sensor performance islimited:● on winding roads● when weather limits visibility, e.g.

fog, rain, or snow● when the sensor is blocked by

snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, orwindscreen damage

Following distanceindicationThe following distance indicationdisplays the distance to a precedingmoving vehicle. The system uses,depending on the vehicle equipment,either the radar behind the radiatorgrille or the front camera in thewindscreen to detect the distance ofa vehicle directly ahead in your path.It is active at speeds above 40 km/h.When a preceding vehicle is detectedahead, the distance is indicated inseconds, displayed on a page in theDriver Information Centre 3 94.

Active Emergency BrakingActive emergency braking can help toreduce the damage from crashes withvehicles and obstacles directlyahead, when a collision can no longerbe avoided either by manual brakingor by steering. Before the activeemergency braking applies, the driveris warned by the forward collisionalert 3 170.

The feature uses various inputs (e.g.radar sensor, brake pressure, vehiclespeed) to calculate the probability ofa frontal collision.Active emergency braking operatesautomatically above walking speed,provided that Auto collisionpreparation setting is not deactivatedin the vehicle personalisation menu3 106.The system includes:● brake preparation system● emergency automatic braking● forward looking brake assist

9 Warning

This system is not intended toreplace the driver responsibility ofdriving the vehicle and lookingahead. Its function is limited tosupplemental use only. The drivershall continue to apply the brakepedal as the driving situationdictates.

Brake preparation systemWhen approaching a vehicle aheadso quickly that a collision is likely, thebrake preparation system slightlypressurises the brakes. This reducesthe response time, when a manual orautomatic braking is requested.The brake system is prepared so thatbraking can occur more rapidly.

Emergency automatic brakingAfter the brake preparation and justbefore the imminent collision, thisfunction automatically applies limitedbraking to reduce the impact speed ofthe collision.

Forward looking brake assistIn addition to brake preparationsystem and emergency automaticbraking, the forward looking brakeassist function makes the brake assistmore sensitive. In this way,depressing the brake pedal slightlyresults immediately in a strongbraking. This function helps the driverbrake quicker and stronger before theimminent collision.


9 Warning

Active emergency braking is notdesigned to apply strongautonomous braking or to avoidautomatically a collision. It isdesigned to reduce the vehiclespeed before collision. It may notreact on stopped vehicles,pedestrians or animals. After asudden lane change, the systemneeds a certain time to detect thenext preceding vehicle.The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver shall always beready to take action and apply thebrakes and steer to avoidcollisions. The system is designedto work with all occupants wearingtheir seat belts.

System limitationsThe active emergency braking haslimited or no function during rain,snow or heavy dirt, as the radarsensor can be covered by a water

film, dust, ice or snow. In case ofsensor blockage, clean the sensorcover.In some seldom cases the activeemergency braking system mayprovide a short automatic braking insituations that seem to beunnecessary, for instance due totraffic signs in a curve or due tovehicles in another lane. This isacceptable operation, the vehicledoes not need service. Firmly applythe accelerator pedal to override theautomatic braking.

Basic notes on parking assistsystems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances,various reflective surfaces onobjects or clothing as well asexternal noise sources may causethe system to fail to detectobstacles.Special attention must be paid tolow obstacles which can damagethe lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors arecovered, e.g. by ice or snow.Performance of the parking assistsystem can be reduced due toheavy loading.Special conditions apply if thereare taller vehicles in the vicinity(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in theupper part of these vehiclescannot be guaranteed.Objects with a very small reflectioncross-section, e.g. objects ofnarrow size or soft materials, maynot be detected by the system.Parking assist systems do notdetect objects outside thedetection range.

The system can not operate when nolane marking is detected. Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orequivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. A lower octane ratingcan reduce engine power and torqueand slightly increases fuelconsumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additivesthat contain metallic compoundssuch as manganese-basedadditives. This may cause enginedamage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or equivalent can lead todeposits or engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octanerating than the lowest possiblerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirementsregarding octane rating are given inthe engine data overview 3 263. Acountry specific label at the fuel fillerflap can supersede the requirement.


Fuel additives outside EuropeFuel should contain detergentadditives that help prevent engineand fuel system deposits fromforming. Clean fuel injectors andintake valves will allow the emissioncontrol system to work properly.Some fuel does not contain sufficientquantities of additive to keep fuelinjectors and intake valves clean.To make up for this lack ofdetergency, add Fuel SystemTreatment PLUS to the fuel tank atevery engine oil change or every15,000 km, whichever occurs first. Itis available at your workshop.Fuels containing oxygenates such asethers and ethanol, as well asreformulated fuel, are available insome cities. If these fuels comply withthe previously describedspecification, then they areacceptable to use. However, E85(85% ethanol) and other fuelscontaining more than 15% ethanolmust be used only in FlexFuelvehicles.

Caution

Do not use fuel containingmethanol. It can corrode metalparts in the fuel system and alsodamage plastic and rubber parts.This damage would not becovered by the vehicle warranty.

Some fuels, mainly high octaneracing fuels, can contain an octaneenhancing additive calledmethylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use fuels orfuel additives with MMT as they canreduce spark plug life and affectemission control systemperformance. The malfunctionindicator light Z may illuminate 3 89.If this occurs, seek the assistance ofa workshop.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590 and which has a sulphurconcentration of max. 10 ppm.Fuels with a biodiesel (compliant withEN 14214) content of max. 7% byvolume may be used (e.g. namedB7).If travelling in countries outside theEuropean Union, occasional use ofEuro-Diesel fuel with a sulphurconcentration below 50 ppm ispossible.

Caution

Frequent usage of diesel fuelcontaining more than 15 ppmsulphur will cause severe enginedamage.


Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 590 or similar can lead toengine powerloss, increased wearor engine damage and may affectyour warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heatingoils, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.

Low temperature operationAt temperatures below 0° C, somediesel products with biodiesel blendsmay clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect the fuel supply system. Startingand engine operation may not workproperly. Make sure to fill wintergrade diesel fuel at ambienttemperatures below 0°C.Arctic grade diesel fuel can be usedin extreme cold temperatures below-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warmor hot climates is not recommended

and may cause engine stalling, poorstarting or damage on the fuelinjection system.

Fuel for liquid gas operation

Liquid gas is known as LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or underits French name GPL (Gaz de PétroleLiquéfié). LPG is also known asAutogas.LPG consists mainly of propane andbutane. The octane rating is between105 and 115, depending on thebutane proportion. LPG is storedliquid at around five to ten barpressure.The boiling point depends on thepressure and mixing ratio. At ambientpressure, it is between -42 °C (purepropane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambienttemperature of approx. -8 °C to100 °C.

Full function of the LPG system canonly be guaranteed with liquid gaswhich complies with the minimumrequirements of DIN EN 589.Fuel selector 3 82.

Refuelling


9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch offignition and any external heaterswith combustion chambers.Switch off any mobile phones.Follow the operating and safetyinstructions of the filling stationwhen refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.No smoking. No naked flames orsparks.If you can smell fuel in yourvehicle, have the cause of thisremedied immediately by aworkshop.

Fuel filler capOnly use genuine fuel filler caps.Diesel-engined vehicles have specialfuel filler caps.


Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage, e.g. in case of 4 x5 Watt bulbs, the function only detectslamp outage when only a single5 Watt lamp remains or none remain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1300 kg the use of a stabiliser isstrongly recommended when drivingabove 80 km/h.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 270.

Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12%.The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8%, e.g. motorways).


The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 258.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by60 kg, the gross vehicle weight ratingmay be exceeded by 60 kg. If thepermissible rear axle load isexceeded, a maximum speed of100 km/h applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

When operating without a trailer,remove the coupling ball bar.

Stowage of coupling ball bar

Vehicle care 231

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey. Do not forget the sparewheel. This also applies to vehicleswith tyre pressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure 3 270.The tyre pressure information labelon the front left or right door frameindicates the original equipment tyresand the correspondent tyrepressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to thepressure specified for full load.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options. For the correct tyrepressure value, follow the procedurebelow:1. Identify the body style.2. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 263.3. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 270.For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.

9 Warning

For specific tyres therecommended tyre pressure asshown in the tyre pressure tablemay exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.Never exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased on a vehicle with tyrepressure monitoring system, switchoff ignition.

Temperature dependencyThe tyre pressure depends on thetemperature of the tyre. Duringdriving, tyre temperature andpressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly10 kPa for a 10 °C temperatureincrease. This must be consideredwhen warm tyres are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed inthe Driver Information Centre showsthe real tyre pressure. A cooled downtyre will show a decreased value,which does not indicate an air leak.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring system(TPMS) checks the pressure of allfour tyres once a minute when vehiclespeed exceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring systemwarns only about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyres musthave the prescribed pressure.NoteIn countries where the tyre pressuremonitoring system is legallyrequired, the use of wheels withoutpressure sensors will invalidate thevehicle operating permit.

The current tyre pressures can beshown in the Vehicle InformationMenu in the Driver InformationCentre.The menu can be selected by thebuttons on the turn signal lever.

Press MENU to select the VehicleInformation MenuX.

Turn the adjuster wheel to select thetyre pressure monitoring system.System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a message with thecorresponding tyre flashing in theDriver Information Centre.The system considers the tyretemperature for the warnings.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by illuminationof control indicator w 3 92.If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 270.If w flashes for 60-90 seconds andthen illuminates continuously, there isa fault in the system. Consult aworkshop.After inflating, driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w mayilluminate.

If w illuminates at lower temperaturesand extinguishes after some driving,this could be an indicator forapproaching a low tyre pressurecondition. Check tyre pressure.Vehicle messages 3 100.If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.Only mount wheels with pressuresensors, otherwise the tyre pressurewill not be displayed and willuminates continuously.A spare wheel or temporary sparewheel is not equipped with pressuresensors. The tyre pressuremonitoring system is not operationalfor these wheels. Control indicator willuminates. For the further threewheels the system remainsoperational.The use of commercially availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.Operating electronic devices or beingclose to facilities using similar wavefrequencies could disrupt the tyrepressure monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced, tyrepressure monitoring system sensorsmust be dismounted and serviced.For the screwed sensor: replacevalve core and sealing ring. Forclipped sensor: replace completevalve stem.

Engine oilEngine oil is identified by its qualityand its viscosity. Quality is moreimportant than viscosity whenselecting which engine oil to use. Theoil quality ensures e.g. enginecleanliness, wear protection and oilaging control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

256 Service and maintenance

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities must be used.Recommendations for petrol enginesare also valid for Compressed NaturalGas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas(LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelledengines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 260.

Topping up engine oil

Caution

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it upand dispose it properly.

Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oils for all petrolengines with only ACEA quality isprohibited, since it can cause enginedamage under certain operatingconditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 260.

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 260.

All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze approved forthe vehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. Incold regions with very lowtemperatures, the factory filledcoolant provides frost protectiondown to approx. -37 °C. Thisconcentration should be maintainedall year round. The use of additionalcoolant additives that intend to giveadditional corrosion protection or sealagainst minor leaks can causefunction problems. Liability forconsequences resulting from the useof additional coolant additives will berejected.

Service and maintenance 257

Washer fluidUse only washer fluid approved forthe vehicle to prevent damage ofwiper blades, paintwork, plastic andrubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersElectronic control units are installed inyour vehicle. Control units processdata which is received by vehiclesensors, for example, or which theygenerate themselves or exchangeamongst themselves. Some controlunits are necessary for the safefunctioning of your vehicle, othersassist you while you drive (driverassistance systems), while othersprovide comfort or infotainmentfunctions.

Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data foroperation of the vehicle.


This data includes, for example:● Vehicle status information (e.g.

wheel rotation rate, speed,movement delay, lateralacceleration, "seatbeltsfastened" display),

● Ambient conditions (e.g.temperature, rain sensor,distance sensor).

Most of this data is volatile and isprocessed only in the vehicle itself,and not beyond the operating time.Moreover, many control units includedata storage device (amongst othersthe vehicle key). This is used to allowinformation to be documentedtemporarily or permanently on vehiclecondition, component stress,maintenance requirements andtechnical events and errors.The following information, forexample, is stored:● System component operating

states (e.g. fill level, tyrepressure, battery status),

● State of charge of the highvoltage battery, estimated range(in the case of electric vehicles),

● Faults and defects in importantsystem components (e.g. lights,brakes),

● System reactions in specialdriving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of thestability control systems),

● Information on events damagingthe vehicle.

In special cases (e.g. if the vehiclehas detected a malfunction), it may benecessary to save data that wouldotherwise just be volatile.When you use services, the operatingdata saved can be read together withthe vehicle identification number andused if necessary. Staff working forthe service net-work (e.g. garages,manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read thedata from the vehicle. Servicesinclude repair services, maintenanceprocesses, warranty cases andquality assurance measures.Data is generally read via the OBD(On-Board Diagnostics) portprescribed by law in the vehicle. Theoperating data which has been readout documents the technical condition

of the vehicle or individualcomponents and assists with faultdiagnosis, compliance with warrantyobligations and quality improvement.This data, in particular information oncomponent stress, technical events,operator errors and other faults, istransmitted to the manufacturerwhere appropriate, together with thevehicle identification number. Themanufacturer is also subject toproduct liability. The manufacturerpotentially also needs operating datafrom vehicles for product recalls.Fault memories in the vehicle can bereset by a service company whencarrying out servicing or repairs.

Comfort and infotainmentfunctionsComfort settings and custom settingscan be stored in the vehicle andchanged at any time.


Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● Seat and steering wheel position

settings,● Chassis and air conditioning

settings,● Custom settings such as interior

lighting.You can input your own data in theinfotainment functions for yourvehicle as part of the selectedfeatures.Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● Multimedia data such as music,

videos or photos for playback inan integrated multimedia system,

● Address book data for use withan integrated hands-free systemor an integrated navigationsystem,

● Input destinations,● Data on the use of online

services.This data for comfort andinfotainment functions can be storedlocally in the vehicle or be kept on a

device that you have connected to thevehicle (e.g. a smartphone, USB stickor MP3 player). Data that you haveinput yourself can be deleted at anytime.This data can only be transmitted outof the vehicle at your request,particularly when using onlineservices in accordance with thesettings selected by you.

Smartphone integration, e.g.Android Auto or Apple CarPlayIf your vehicle is equippedaccordingly, you can connect yoursmartphone or another mobile deviceto the vehicle so that you can controlit via the controls integrated in thevehicle. The smartphone image andsound can be output via themultimedia system in this case. At thesame time, specific information istransmitted to your smartphone.Depending on the type of integration,this includes data such as positiondata, day / night mode and othergeneral vehicle information. For more

information, please see the operatinginstructions for the vehicle /infotainment system.Integration allows selectedsmartphone apps to be used, such asnavigation or music playback. Nofurther integration is possiblebetween smartphone and vehicle, inparticular active access to vehicledata. The nature of further dataprocessing is determined by theprovider of the app used. Whetheryou can define settings, and if sowhich ones, is dependent on the appin question and your smartphone'soperating system.


Online servicesIf your vehicle has a radio networkconnection, this allows data to beexchanged between your vehicle andother systems. The radio networkconnection is made possible bymeans of a transmitter device in yourvehicle or a mobile device providedby you (e.g. a smartphone). Onlinefunctions can be used via this radionetwork connection. These includeonline services and applications /apps provided to you by themanufacturer or other providers.

Services of the manufacturerIn the case of the manufacturer'sonline services, the relevant functionsare described by the manufacturer inan appropriate location (e.g. Owner'sManual, the manufacturer's website)and the associated data protectioninformation is provided. Personaldata may be used to provide onlineservices. Data exchange for thispurpose takes place via a protectedconnection, e.g. using themanufacturer's IT systems providedfor the purpose. Collection,

processing and use of personal datafor the purposes of preparation ofservices take place solely on thebasis of legal permission, e.g. in thecase of the eCall emergencycommunication system or acontractual agreement, or by virtue ofconsent.You can activate or deactivate theservices and functions (which aresubject to charges to some extent)and, in some cases, the vehicle'sentire radio network connection. Inparticular, this does not includestatutory functions and services suchas eCall.

Third party servicesIf you make use of online servicesfrom other providers (third parties),these services are subject to theliability and data protection and usageconditions of the provider in question.The manufacturer frequently has noinfluence over the content exchangedin this regard.

Therefore, please note the nature,scope and purpose of the collectionand use of personal data within thescope of third party services providedby the service provider in question.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology in Opelvehicles does not use or recordpersonal information or link with anyother Opel system containingpersonal information.
