ELECTRIC WINDOWS

WARNING

Do not operate the electric windows unless they are free from obstruction.

Note:

If you operate the switches often during a short period of time, the system might become inoperable for a certain time to prevent damage due to overheating.

Note:

You can operate the windows for several minutes after you switch off the ignition. They will be deactivated as soon as a door is opened.

Note:

If you operate both the switch on the relevant door and the switch for that window on the driver’s door at the same time, the window will stop moving.

Switch on the ignition to operate the electric windows.

Global opening and global closing

You can also operate the electric windows with the ignition off via the global

Global opening and closing (page

The light in the switch illuminates and the lights in the rear window switches go off when the rear windows are disabled.

Anti-trap function

WARNING

Careless closing of the windows can override the protection function and cause injuries.

The electric windows will stop automatically while closing and reverse some distance if there is an obstacle in the way.

Overriding the anti-trap function

CAUTION

While you close the window for the third time, the anti-trap function is disabled. Make sure there are no obstacles in the way of the closing window.

To override this protection function when there is a resistance, for example, in the winter, proceed as follows:

Close the window twice until it reaches the resistance and let it reverse.

2. Close the window a third time to the resistance. The anti-trap function is disabled and you cannot close the window automatically. The window will override the resistance and you can close it fully.

3. If the window does not close after the third attempt, have it checked by a properly trained technician.

Resetting the memory of the electric windows

WARNING

The anti-trap function is deactivated until you have reset the memory.

After the battery has been disconnected from the vehicle you must reset the memory separately for each window:

Lift the switch until the window is fully closed. Hold the switch lifted for one more second.

2. Release the switch and lift it again, two or three times, for one more second.

3. Open the window and try to close it automatically.

4. Reset and repeat procedure if the window does not close automatically.

Climate control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of the windscreen free from obstruction (snow, leaves etc.) to allow the climate control system to function effectively.

Recirculated air

CAUTION

Prolonged use of recirculated air may cause the windows to mist up. If the windows mist up, follow the settings for defrosting and demisting the windscreen.

The air currently in the passenger compartment will be recirculated. Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on the temperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note:

The air conditioning operates only when the temperature is above 4ºC

(39ºF).

Note:

If you use the air conditioning, the fuel consumption of your vehicle will be higher.

Air is directed through the evaporator where it is cooled. Humidity is extracted from the air to help keep the windows free of mist. The resulting condensation is directed to the outside of the vehicle and it is therefore normal if you see a small pool of water under your vehicle.

General information on controlling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold or humid weather conditions, direct some of the air towards the windscreen and the door windows.

AUXILIARY HEATER

Parking heater

WARNING

The parking heater must not be operated at filling stations, near sources of combustible vapours or dust or in enclosed spaces.

The parking heater operates independently of the vehicle heater by heating the engine’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle heater warm up the interior more quickly.

Used properly, the parking heater provides the following benefits:

• It preheats the interior of the vehicle.

• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the event of frost and prevents condensation.

• It avoids cold starts and allows the engine to reach operating temperature sooner.

Note:

The parking heater will only operate if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6

gallons) of fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient temperature is below 15°C

(59°F). The heater will not operate if the battery is low.

Note:

The heating depends on the outside air temperature.

Note:

When the parking heater is activated, exhaust fumes may come from under the sides of the vehicle. This is normal.

Note:

On vehicles with a manual heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, the heating of the vehicle interior is dependent on the temperature, air distribution and blower control settings.

To prevent the battery from discharging:

• Once the parking heater has performed one heating cycle, the next programmed heating cycle will only be carried out if you have started the vehicle’s engine in between.

• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle for at least the period of the heating cycle.

Programming the parking heater

Note:

The programmed time is the time at which you wish the vehicle to be warm and ready to drive, not the time at which the heater switches on.

Note:

You must programme the times at least 70 minutes in advance of the time you wish to set.

Note:

You must set the time and date correctly. See Clock (page 120).

Engine idle speed after starting

The speed at which the engine idles immediately after starting will vary depending on the engine temperature.

If the engine is cold then the idle speed will automatically be increased in order to heat the catalytic converter as quickly as possible. This ensures that vehicle emissions are kept to an absolute minimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to the normal level as the catalytic converter warms up.

STARTING A PETROL

ENGINE - E85

For general information on starting a

petrol engine. See Starting a petrol

engine (page 128).

Starting at low ambient temperatures

When the temperature is lower than -10°C

(14°F) and the vehicle is filled with E85, an engine block heater should be used to

facilitate starting. See Engine heater

(page 131). Failure to do this will result in a

non start.

If the temperature is expected to remain below -10°C (14°F), it is recommended that you increase the proportion of petrol in the tank by topping up with 95 octane unleaded petrol if the tank is not already full. About 10 litres (2.2 gallons) of petrol will reduce the proportion of E85 in a ¾ full tank from 85% to 70% and will considerably improve cold start capability.

If, at very low temperatures, the tank is filled with only E85 and there is no way to use an engine block heater, you may experience difficulties starting the engine.

129

Starting the engine

If the engine fails to start, proceed as follows:

Fully depress the accelerator pedal.

2. Turn the ignition key to position III.

CAUTION

Release the ignition key as soon as the engine has started.

3. Gradually release the accelerator pedal after 5 seconds of engine cranking or as the engine speed rises.

If the engine fails to start, repeat steps 1,

2 and 3, or connect an engine block heater for two hours before attempting another start.

During starting, the fuel injectors are turned off as long as the accelerator pedal is depressed. This can be used to drain excessive fuel from the intake manifold after several unsuccessful starting attempts.

If the battery has been disconnected or after the fuel type has been changed, the idle speed may be irregular. This will improve after 10 to 30 seconds.

STARTING A DIESEL ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note:

When the temperature is below

-15ºC (5ºF), you may need to crank the engine for up to 25 seconds. If you consistently operate the vehicle in such temperatures, we recommend that you have an engine block heater fitted.

Note:

Continue cranking the engine until it starts.

Note:

You can only operate the starter for a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

Switch the ignition on and wait until the glow plug indicator goes off.

Vehicles with manual transmission

Note:

Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

Fully depress the clutch pedal.

2. Start the engine.

Vehicles with automatic transmission

Select park or neutral.

2. Fully depress the brake pedal.

3. Start the engine.

DIESEL PARTICULATE

FILTER (DPF)

The DPF forms part of the emissions reduction systems fitted to your vehicle.

It filters harmful diesel particulates (soot) from the exhaust gas.

Regeneration

WARNING

CAUTION

Avoid running out of fuel.

130

Starting the engine

Note:

After you have switched your engine off the fans may continue to run for a short period of time.

Unlike a normal filter which requires periodic replacement, the DPF has been designed to regenerate, or clean itself to maintain operating efficiency. The regeneration process takes place automatically. However, some driving conditions mean that you may need to support the regeneration process.

If you drive only short distances or your journeys contain frequent stopping and starting, where there is increased acceleration and deceleration, occasional trips with the following conditions could assist the regeneration process:

• Drive your vehicle at a constant speed, preferably on a main road or motorway, for up to 20 minutes.

• Avoid prolonged idling and always observe speed limits and road conditions.

• Do not switch off the ignition.

• Use a lower gear than normal to maintain a higher engine speed during this journey, where appropriate.

SWITCHING OFF THE

ENGINE

Vehicles with a turbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine off when it is running at high speed. If you do, the turbocharger will continue running after the engine oil pressure has dropped to zero. This will lead to premature turbocharger bearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine has reached idle speed and then switch it off.

ENGINE HEATER

CAUTION

Make sure you disconnect the power cable from the engine heater connector before driving away.

Note:

The engine heater connector is located in the radiator grille at the front of your vehicle.

E97918

Connect the engine heater for 2 to 3 hours before starting the engine.

131

Fuel and refuelling

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

CAUTION

Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g.

manganese-based). They could damage the emission system.

Note:

We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.

Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent.

FUEL QUALITY - E85

WARNINGS

Do not modify the fuel system configuration or the components in the system.

E85.

Do not replace the fuel system or the components with parts not specially designed to be used with

CAUTIONS

Do not use leaded petrol or petrol with additives containing other metallic compounds (e.g.

manganese-based). They could damage the emission system.

Do not use methanol instead of E85.

Note:

We recommend that you use only high quality fuel without additives or other engine treatments.

Note:

When using E85, you may experience a higher fuel consumption.

Note:

Your vehicle will operate well on commercial quality 95 octane unleaded petrol, but only high quality E85 offers the same protection and performance.

Use minimum 95 octane unleaded petrol that meets the specification defined by EN 228, or equivalent. You can also use a mixture of unleaded petrol and E85.

Long-term storage

Due to small amounts of corrosive impurities that may be found in the E85, it is recommended that you fill the tank with only 95 octane unleaded petrol prior to long-term storage of your vehicle.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

WARNING

Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol or other liquids. This could cause a chemical reaction.

CAUTIONS

Do not add kerosene, paraffin or petrol to diesel. This could cause damage to the fuel system.

Use diesel that meets the specification defined by EN 590, or the relevant national specification.

Note:

We recommend that you use only high quality fuel.

Note:

The use of additives or other engine treatments not approved by Ford is not recommended.

Note:

We do not recommend the prolonged use of additives intended to prevent fuel waxing.

132

Fuel and refuelling

Long-term storage

Most diesel fuels contain bio-diesel, it is recommended to fill the tank with purely mineral diesel (where available) or add an anti-oxidant prior to long-term storage of your vehicle exceeding two months. Your dealer can help you with a suitable anti-oxidant.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicle over dry leaves, dry grass or other combustible materials. The exhaust will radiate a considerable amount of heat during use, and after you have switched the engine off. This is a potential fire hazard.

Driving with a catalytic converter

CAUTIONS

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not crank the engine for long periods.

Do not run the engine when a spark plug lead is disconnected.

Do not push-start or tow-start your

vehicle. Use booster cables. See

Using booster cables (page 217).

Do not switch the ignition off when driving.

FUEL FILLER FLAP

WARNINGS

Take care when refuelling to avoid spilling any residual fuel from the fuel nozzle.

WARNINGS

Do not use any kind of flames or heat near the fuel system. The fuel system is under pressure. There is a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.

CAUTION

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel filler flap briefly from a distance not less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Note:

Central locking also locks and

unlocks the fuel filler flap. See Locking

and unlocking (page 35).

E86613

Press the flap to open it. Open the flap fully until it engages.

When you insert the fuel nozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open if the correct size nozzle is detected. This will prevent filling up with the wrong fuel.

WARNING

Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle stops the second time. Additional fuel will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank which could lead to fuel overflowing. Fuel spillage could be hazardous to other road users.

133

Fuel and refuelling

E119080

Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including the first notch on the nozzle. Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel pipe opening.

WARNING

We recommend that you wait at least 10 seconds before removing the fuel nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.

E119081

Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove it.

Vehicles with diesel engine

A funnel is located in the spare wheel well.

Use this when refilling with a fuel can.

REFUELLING

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician immediately.

REFUELLING - E85

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with the incorrect fuel. This could damage the engine. Have the system checked by a properly trained technician immediately.

After refuelling, allow 5 minutes of normal engine operation above 48 km/h (30 mph) to reduce the risk of an increased engine restart time.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are derived from laboratory tests according to EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and subsequent amendments and are carried out by all vehicle manufacturers.

They are intended as a comparison between makes and models of vehicles.

They are not intended to represent the real world fuel consumption you may get from your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption is governed by many factors including; driving style, high speed driving, stop/start driving, air conditioning usage, the accessories fitted and towing etc.

Your Ford dealer can give you advice on improving your fuel consumption.

Brakes

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Disc brakes

Wet brake discs result in reduced braking efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when driving from a car wash to remove the film of water.

ABS

WARNING

The ABS does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.

The ABS helps you to maintain full steering and directional stability when you brake heavily in an emergency, by preventing the road wheels from locking.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITH

ABS

When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure on the brake pedal.

The ABS will not eliminate the dangers inherent when:

• you drive too close to the vehicle in front of you.

• the vehicle is aquaplaning.

• you take corners too fast.

• the road surface is poor.

lamps and indicators (page 75).

Emergency brake assist

WARNING

Emergency brake assist does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.

Emergency brake assist will detect when you brake heavily by measuring the rate at which you press the brake pedal. It will provide maximum braking efficiency as long as you press the pedal. Emergency brake assist can reduce stopping distances in critical situations.

USING STABILITY CONTROL

A B

E72903

B without ESP with ESP

The ESP supports stability when the vehicle starts to slide away from your intended path. This is performed by braking individual wheels and reducing engine torque as needed.

The system also provides an enhanced traction control function by reducing engine torque if the wheels spin when you accelerate. This improves your ability to pull away on slippery roads or loose surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting wheel spin in hairpin bends.

Press and hold the switch for one second.

The switch will illuminate. A message will

be shown in the display. See

the information display menu. See

Press the switch again to turn the system on. The system will be switched on automatically every time you switch the ignition on.

You can switch the system on and off via

Information displays (page 78).

142

Hill start assist

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The system makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake.

When the system is active, the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds after you release the brake pedal. During this time, you have time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal and pull away. The brakes are released automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights or when reversing uphill into a parking space.

WARNING

The system does not replace the parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the parking brake and select first or reverse gear.

USING HILL START ASSIST

The system can operate in either automatic or manual mode. If you select automatic mode, the system is activated automatically when the vehicle is on a slope and you press the brake pedal. If you select manual mode, you must activate the system using the brake pedal.

Active suspension

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The active suspension provides improved handling, comfort and stability by continuously adjusting the damper properties to the current road and driving conditions. This system in conjunction with the ABS system offers the benefit of potentially shorter stopping distances on rough road surfaces.

Depending on your preferences and driving style, you can choose between three different settings:

Comfort

This provides a softer driving feel.

Normal

Normal setting.

Sport

This provides a harder, sportier ride.

USING ACTIVE SUSPENSION

Selecting a setting

Note:

After you select a setting, you may not immediately notice a difference in the vehicle's handling. The effect of the continuously controlled damping depends on the road surface and driving conditions.

System malfunction

The active suspension system will switch off automatically if it malfunctions. The suspension will be set to a fail-safe condition that will enable you to continue driving but you will not be able to change the suspension setting. Have this checked as soon as possible.

E70475

You can change the setting while driving.

146

Parking aid

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING

The parking aid does not relieve you of your responsibility to drive with due care and attention.

CAUTIONS

Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow module not approved by us may not correctly detect obstacles.

The sensors may not detect objects in heavy rain or other conditions that cause disruptive reflections.

The sensors may not detect objects with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic waves.

The parking aid does not detect obstacles moving away from the vehicle. They will only be detected shortly after they start to move towards the vehicle again.

Take particular care when reversing with a tow ball arm or rear fitted accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as the rear parking aid will only indicate the distance from the bumper to the obstacle.

If you use a high pressure spray to wash your vehicle, only spray the sensors briefly from a distance not less than 20 centimetres (8 inches).

Note:

On vehicles fitted with a tow ball arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (or lighting boards) are connected to the

13-pin socket via a trailer tow module we have approved.

Note:

Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.

Note:

The parking aid may emit false tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is fully laden.

Note:

The outer sensors may detect the side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the side wall remains constant for three seconds, the tone will switch off. As you continue, the inner sensors will detect rearward objects.

USING THE PARKING AID

Switching the parking aid on and off

Note:

The parking aid switches off automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).

Note:

The front and rear sensors are always activated or deactivated together.

The parking aid is per default off. To switch the parking aid on, press the switch in the instrument panel or select reverse gear.

The light in the switch illuminates when the parking aid is activated.

To turn it off, press the switch again.

Manoeuvring with the parking aid

E72902

147

Parking aid

Note:

If a high pitch warning tone sounds for three seconds and the light in the switch is flashing, it indicates a malfunction. The system will be disabled.

Have the system checked by properly trained technicians.

You will hear an intermittent tone at a distance of up to approximately 150 centimetres (59 inches) between the obstacle and rear bumper, 80 centimetres

(31 inches) between the obstacle and front bumper and 50 centimetres (20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the distance accelerates the intermittent tone.

A continuous tone will start at a distance of less than 30 centimetres (12 inches).

You will hear an alternating tone from the front and rear if obstacles are closer than

30 centimetres (12 inches) to the front and rear bumpers.

148

Cruise control

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Cruise control allows you to control your speed using the switches on the steering wheel. You can use cruise control when you exceed 30 km/h (20 mph).

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The adaptive cruise control system is designed to help you maintain a gap from the vehicle ahead or a set road speed if there is no slower vehicle ahead. The system is intended to provide enhanced operation of the vehicle when following other vehicles which are in the same lane and travelling in the same direction.

WARNINGS

function provides a collision warning and

mitigation feature. See Forward alert

function (page 155). You must intervene

if the system does not detect a vehicle in front.

Adaptive cruise control is not a collision warning or avoidance system. The separate forward alert

Adaptive cruise control cannot cover all traffic, weather and road conditions.

When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when adaptive cruise control is used. You must always pay attention to the traffic conditions and intervene when adaptive cruise control is not maintaining a suitable speed or suitable distance.

The adaptive cruise control does not brake for slow or stationary vehicles.

When ACC is activated, you may hear some unusual sounds during automatic braking. This is normal and caused by the automatic braking system.

The adaptive cruise control system is based on the use of a radar sensor which projects a beam directly forward of the vehicle. This beam will detect any vehicle ahead within the system's range.

The radar sensor is mounted behind the front grille, immediately to the right of the

Ford badge (when viewed from the front of the vehicle).

When using ACC, follow the strict guidelines below:

• Only use adaptive cruise control when conditions are favourable, for example on motorways and main roads with steady free flowing traffic.

• Do not use in poor visibility, specifically fog, heavy rain, spray or snow.

• Do not use on icy or slippery roads.

• It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely and be in control of the vehicle at all times.

• Keep the front of the vehicle free from dirt, metal badges or objects, including vehicle front protectors and additional lights which may prevent the sensor from operating.

• Do not use ACC when entering or leaving a motorway.

The radar sensor has a limited field of vision. In some situations it may detect a vehicle other than the one expected or not detect any vehicle at all.

151

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

Detection beam issues

E71621

Detection issues can occur:

• When driving on a different line to the vehicle in front (A).

• With vehicles that edge into your lane that can only be detected once they have moved fully into your lane (B).

Motorcycles may be detected late, or not at all.

• There may be issues with the detection of vehicles in front when going into and coming out of a bend

(C). The detection beam will not follow sharp curves in the road.

WARNING

In these cases ACC may brake late or unexpectedly. The driver should stay alert and intervene if necessary.

Automatic braking with ACC

Adaptive cruise control will automatically brake for you, if required to maintain the set gap between your vehicle and the one detected in front. This braking capacity is limited to approximately 30% of the total manual braking capacity to ensure smooth and comfortable cruising. If the car needs to brake more heavily than this, and you do not intervene by braking manually, an alarm will sound and a warning symbol will be displayed in the cluster.

WARNING

You must take immediate action once alerted, as the ACC braking will not be sufficient to keep a safe distance to the vehicle in front.

USING ACC

The system is operated by adjustment controls mounted on the steering wheel.

The system is deactivated when the brakes are used, the gear selector is moved to a neutral position or if the accelerator pedal is depressed for a longer period. The system will change to standby mode, allowing you full manual control of the vehicle.

Note:

The system may be deactivated if the clutch is depressed.

Note:

If the accelerator is depressed for a short period, for example when overtaking, the system is temporarily deactivated and then reactivated when the accelerator pedal is released. ACC

override is displayed in the information display.

Changing the set speed

Press the SET+ switch or the SET- switch to accelerate or decelerate.

Note:

If the system does not react to these changes the reason may be that the gap interval to the vehicle in front prevents an increase in speed.

153

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

Setting the vehicle gap

E82311

The distance between you and the vehicle detected in front is maintained by a variable setting. There are five steps which are represented by horizontal bars displayed in the information display. One bar denotes the smallest gap and five bars indicate the largest gap. These bars are shown empty when in standby mode and filled when in active mode.

If no vehicle is detected in front, then only your vehicle is displayed in the information display below the bars. The system will maintain the set speed when conditions permit. The set gap is maintained and displayed.

If a vehicle is detected by the sensor, the display will show another vehicle above the horizontal bars:

E82312

This is a follow mode, and the system will accelerate or decelerate as necessary to maintain the set gap.

Press switch E to decrease the gap or switch D to increase the gap. The gap selected will be represented by the number of bars in the display. The recommended gap setting is three to five bars.

Note:

The gap setting is time dependant and therefore the distance will automatically adjust with your speed. For example on a gap setting of four bars, the time gap is 1.8 seconds. This will mean that at a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph), the distance to the vehicle in front will be maintained at 50 metres (164 feet)

CAUTION

Use the appropriate gap setting in accordance with local traffic regulations.

Cancelling ACC

Press either the brake or switch B. The system will return to standby mode but will retain the set speed and gap in the memory. The ACC indicator will go off.

154

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

Note:

The system may be deactivated if the clutch is depressed.

Resuming ACC

Press the RES switch. The ACC indicator illuminates and the system will resume with the previously set speed and vehicle gap setting if conditions permit.

Switching ACC off

Vehicles without speed limiter

Press switch C.

Note:

Pressing switch C does not return the system to standby mode. The stored speed is not retained.

Note:

To temporarily deactivate the system press switch B.

Vehicles with speed limiter

Press switch A.

Note:

Pressing switch A does not return the system to standby mode. The stored speed is not retained.

Note:

To temporarily deactivate the system press switch B.

Automatic deactivation

The system is dependent on various other safety systems, for example ABS and

ESP. If any of these systems are malfunctioning or reacting to an emergency, the system is automatically deactivated.

In the event of automatic deactivation a signal will sound and the message ACC

cancel is displayed in the information display. You must then intervene and adapt your driving and speed to vehicles in front.

An automatic deactivation can be due to the:

• vehicle speed falling below 30 km/h

(20 mph)

• wheels lose traction

• brake temperature is high, for example when driving on mountainous or hilly roads

• engine speed is too low

• radar sensor is covered

• parking brake or electric parking brake

(EPB) is applied.

If the engine speed drops too low, a message is displayed in the information display instructing you to change down a gear (manual transmission only). If you do not follow this recommendation then the system will go into automatic deactivation mode.

Note:

The system will not operate if the electronic stability programme (ESP) has been manually switched off.

FORWARD ALERT

FUNCTION

The system assists you by warning of the risk of a collision, and reducing the severity of a collision with a vehicle in front. This works by using two methods:

• You are alerted to a potential collision so you may brake earlier than normal.

• Brake support is activated to enable full braking effectiveness.

The collision alerts will only occur if the system is switched on, however the brake support is always on and cannot be turned off. Warnings are both visual and audible. Brake support is activated automatically if necessary to reduce the collision speed. The brake support system only reduces the collision speed if you brake immediately once alerted.

155

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

WARNINGS

Never wait for a collision warning.

When driving you are responsible for maintaining the correct distance and speed, even when the system is used.

The system will only react to vehicles in front travelling in the same direction and will not react to slow or stationary vehicles.

Never drive in a manner to provoke the system. The system is designed to assist in emergencies only.

The system alerts you by warning chimes and a visual warning in the information

display. See Information messages

(page 91).

When forward alert is deactivated the

lamp is illuminated in the display. See

Warning lamps and indicators (page

75).

The system does not operate in all driving situations and traffic, weather and road conditions.

The radar sensor detects vehicles in front that are driving in the same direction as you. If the risk of collision still increases after the initial warning then brake support is activated. Brake support prepares the brake system for rapid braking and the brakes are applied gently, which may be noticed as a slight jerk. If the brake pedal is depressed sufficiently quickly then braking is implemented with full brake function, even if the force on the pedal is light.

CAUTION

Warnings may be triggered late, be absent or triggered unnecessarily if the traffic situation means that the radar sensor cannot accurately detect a vehicle in front. The system uses the same radar sensors as adaptive cruise control (ACC) and therefore has the same

limitations. See Principle of operation

(page 151).

Note:

The system may be used with or without the ACC system being activated.

Switching forward alert on and off

See General information (page 78).

Adjusting the warning sensitivity

You may adjust the system warning sensitivity using the buttons on the

steering wheel. See General

information (page 78).

This controls how early the visual and audible warning is activated.

156

Speed limiter

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

WARNING

When you are going downhill, your speed may increase above the set speed. The system will not apply the brakes but a warning will be given.

The system allows you to set a speed, to which the vehicle then becomes limited.

The set speed will become the effective maximum speed of the vehicle, but with the option to temporarily exceed this limit if required.

USING THE SPEED LIMITER

The system is operated by adjustment controls mounted on the steering wheel.

Press button A to switch the system on and off. The information display will prompt for a speed to be set.

Note:

The set speed limit can be intentionally exceeded for a short period if required, for example when overtaking.

E70615

Press the SET+ switch or the SET- switch to select your desired speed limit.

The speed is indicated in the information display and stored as the set speed.

Press button B to cancel the limiter and place it in standby mode. The information display will confirm deactivation by showing the set speed crossed out.

E124874

Setting the speed limit

Use the cruise control switches to alter the maximum speed setting.

E70616

Press the RES button to resume the limiter. The information display will confirm the system is active by showing the set speed again.

Intentionally exceeding the speed limit

Depress the accelerator hard close to the full pedal travel and the limit will temporarily deactivate. The system will reactivate once the vehicle speed drops below the set speed.

Towing

TOWING A TRAILER

WARNINGS

Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).

The rear tyre pressures must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above

specifications (page 231).

Do not exceed the maximum gross train weight stated on the vehicle

identification plate. See Vehicle

identification (page 234).

CAUTION

Do not exceed the maximum permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical weight on the tow ball, of 90 kilogrammes (198 pounds).

Note:

Not all vehicles are suitable or approved to have tow bars fitted. Check with your dealer first.

Place loads as low and central to the axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are towing with an unladen vehicle, the load in the trailer should be placed toward the nose, within the maximum nose load, as this gives the best stability.

The stability of the vehicle to trailer combination is very much dependant on the quality of the trailer.

In high altitude regions above 1 000 metres (3 281 feet), the stipulated maximum permitted gross train weight must be reduced by 10% for every additional 1 000 metres (3 281 feet).

Steep gradients

WARNING

The overrun brake on a trailer is not controlled by ABS.

Change down a gear before you reach a steep downhill gradient.

DETACHABLE TOW BALL

WARNINGS

When not in use, always transport the tow ball arm securely fastened in the luggage compartment.

Take special care when fitting the tow ball arm as the safety of the vehicle and the trailer depends on this.

Do not use any tools for mounting or dismounting the tow ball arm. Do not modify the trailer coupling. Do not disassemble or repair the tow ball arm.

Tyre

Run flat tyre

E87667

Wheel rim position with correct tyre pressure

Wheel rim position with insufficient tyre pressure

Tyre

Reinforced sidewall

When a standard tyre experiences a drastic loss of inflation pressure, the rim of the wheel brings the full weight of the vehicle to bear on the collapsed sidewalls.

You can barely manoeuvre the vehicle and the tyre is destroyed.

Run flat tyres have sturdy, reinforced sidewalls that support the rim should the tyre suffer a loss of inflation pressure.

What to do if a run flat tyre has a puncture

Due to the run-flat properties of these tyres, you may not notice any tyre defect.

Your vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system that alerts

you to any drop in tyre pressure. See

Technical specifications (page 231).

In the event of a tyre defect:

• immediately slow down to a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph)

• avoid sudden or erratic braking and steering manoeuvres and be especially careful negotiating bends

• do not drive more than 80 kilometres

(50 miles) after the defect is detected

• have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible.

Replacing run flat tyres

WARNINGS

Make sure that the workshop is aware that your vehicle is equipped with special run flat tyres.

Never repair or reuse run flat tyres that are damaged or have been driven on run flat.

224

Wheels and tyres

WARNINGS

If a run flat tyre has to be replaced, have the respective wheel rim inspected for any damage.

Do not fit a mixture of run flat and standard tyres. In isolated cases, a standard tyre can be temporarily mounted on a vehicle otherwise equipped with run flat tyres. It must be pointed out to the driver that the standard tyre has no runflat properties.

Do not fit run flat tyres on vehicles that were not originally fitted with them. Please contact your dealer for more details regarding compatibility.

Run flat tyres may be sold and mounted only by specially trained and certified tyre dealers.

TYRE REPAIR KIT

Your vehicle may not have a spare tyre.

In this case it will have an emergency tyre repair kit that can be used to repair one flat tyre.

The tyre repair kit is located in the spare wheel well.

General information

WARNINGS

Depending on the type and extent of tyre damage, some tyres can only be partially sealed or not sealed at all. Loss of tyre pressure can affect vehicle handling, leading to loss of vehicle control.

Do not use the tyre repair kit if the tyre has already been damaged as a result of being driven under inflated.

Do not use the tyre repair kit on run flat tyres.

WARNINGS

Do not try to seal damage other than that located within the visible tread of the tyre.

Do not try to seal damage to the tyre’s sidewall.

The tyre repair kit seals most tyre punctures [with a diameter of up to six millimetres (1/4 inch)] to temporarily restore mobility.

Observe the following rules when using the kit:

•

Drive with caution and avoid making sudden steering or

driving manoeuvres, especially if the vehicle is heavily loaded or you are towing a trailer.

• The kit will provide you with an emergency temporary repair, enabling you to continue your journey to the next vehicle or tyre dealer, or to drive a maximum distance of

200 kilometres (125 miles).

• Do not exceed a maximum speed

of 80 km/h (50 mph).

• Keep the kit out of the reach of children.

• Only use the kit when the ambient temperature is between –30°C (-22°F) and +70°C (+158°F).

Using the tyre repair kit

WARNINGS

Compressed air can act as an explosive or propellant.

Never leave the tyre repair kit unattended while in use.

225

Wheels and tyres

CAUTION

Do not keep the compressor operating for more than 10 minutes.

Note:

Use the tyre repair kit only for the vehicle with which it was supplied.

• Park your vehicle at the roadside so that you do not obstruct the flow of traffic and so that you are able to use the kit without being in danger.

• Apply the parking brake, even if you have parked on a level road, to make sure that the vehicle will not move.

• Do not attempt to remove foreign objects like nails or screws penetrating the tyre.

• Leave the engine running while the kit is in use, but not if the vehicle is in an enclosed or poorly ventilated area (for example, inside a building). In these circumstances, switch the compressor on with the engine turned off.

• Replace the sealant bottle with a new one before the expiry date (see top of bottle) is reached.

• Inform all other users of the vehicle that the tyre has been temporarily sealed with the tyre repair kit and make them aware of the special driving conditions to be observed.

Inflating the tyre

WARNINGS

Check the sidewall of the tyre prior to inflation. If there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage, do not attempt to inflate the tyre.

Do not stand directly beside the tyre while the compressor is pumping.

WARNINGS

Watch the sidewall of the tyre. If any cracks, bumps or similar damage appear, turn off the compressor and let the air out by means of the pressure relief valve B. Do not continue driving with this tyre.

The sealant contains natural rubber latex. Avoid contact with skin and clothing. If this happens, rinse the affected areas immediately with plenty of water and contact your doctor.

If the tyre inflation pressure does not reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within seven minutes, the tyre may have suffered excessive damage, making a temporary repair impossible. In this case, do not continue driving with this tyre.

CAUTION

Screwing the bottle onto the bottle holder will pierce the seal of the bottle. Do not unscrew the bottle from the holder as the sealant will escape.

Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle holder E.

16.

Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and the orange cap are stored safely, but still easily accessible in the vehicle.

The kit will be required again when you check the tyre pressure.

17.

Immediately drive approximately three kilometres (two miles) so that the sealant can seal the damaged area.

Note:

When pumping in the sealant through the tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but will drop again after about 30 seconds.

WARNING

If you experience heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behaviour or noises while driving, reduce your speed and drive with caution to a place where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle.

Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If the tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi) or if there are any cracks, bumps or similar damage visible, do not continue driving with this tyre.

Checking the tyre pressure

Stop the vehicle after driving approximately three kilometres

(two miles). Check, and where necessary, adjust the pressure of the damaged tyre.

2. Attach the kit and read the tyre pressure from the pressure gauge F.

3. If the pressure of the sealant-filled tyre is 1.3 bar (19 psi) or more, adjust it to

the specified pressure. See

Technical specifications (page

231).

4. Follow the inflation procedure once again to top up the tyre.

5. Check the tyre pressure again from the pressure gauge F. If the tyre pressure is too high, deflate the tyre to the specified pressure using the pressure relief valve B.

6. Once you have inflated the tyre to its correct tyre pressure, move the compressor switch H to position 0, remove the power plug G from the socket, unscrew the hose C, fasten the valve cap and replace the protective cap A.

7. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle holder E and store the kit away safely in its original location.

8. Drive to the nearest tyre specialist to get the damaged tyre replaced.

Before the tyre is removed from the rim, inform your tyre dealer that the tyre contains sealant. Renew the kit as soon as possible after it has been used once.

Note:

Remember that emergency roadside tyre repair kits only provide temporary mobility. Regulations concerning tyre repair after usage of tyre repair kit may differ from country to country. You should consult a tyre specialist for advice.

WARNING

Before driving, make sure the tyre is adjusted to the recommended

inflation pressure. See Technical

specifications (page 231). Monitor the

tyre pressure until the sealed tyre is replaced.

Empty sealant bottles can be disposed of together with normal household waste.

Return remains of sealant to your dealer or dispose of it in compliance with local waste disposal regulations.

To make sure the front and rear tyres of your vehicle wear evenly and last longer, we recommend that you swap the tyres from front to rear and vice versa at regular intervals of between 5 000 and 10 000 km (3 000 and 6 000 miles).

CAUTION

Do not scrub the sidewalls of the tyres when you are parking.

If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly and approach it with the wheels at right-angles to the kerb.

Examine the tyres regularly for cuts, foreign objects and uneven wear of the tread. Uneven wear could mean that the wheel alignment is outside specification.

Check the tyre pressures (including the spare) when cold, every two weeks.

USING WINTER TYRES

CAUTION

Make sure that you use the correct wheel nuts for the type of wheel the winter tyres are fitted to.

If winter tyres are used, make sure that

the tyre pressures are correct. See

Technical specifications (page 231).

USING SNOW CHAINS

WARNINGS

Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).

Do not use snow chains on snow-free roads.

Do not fit snow chains to 235/45 R

17, 235/40 R 18 or T125/90 R 16 tyres.

CAUTION

If your vehicle is fitted with wheel trims, remove them before fitting snow chains.

Note:

The ABS will continue to operate normally.

Only use small link snow chains.

Only use snow chains on the front wheels.

TYRE PRESSURE

MONITORING SYSTEM

WARNINGS

The system does not relieve you of your responsibility to regularly check the tyre pressures.

The system will only provide a low tyre pressure warning. It will not inflate the tyres.

The system may take longer to detect low pressure in the tyres if you have fitted snow chains.

Do not drive on significantly under-inflated tyres. This may cause the tyres to overheat and fail.

Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyre tread life and may also affect your ability to drive the vehicle safely.

Wheels and tyres

CAUTIONS

Do not bend or damage the valves when you are inflating the tyres.

Have tyres installed by properly trained technicians.

The system monitors the pressure in the tyres using sensors located on the wheels and a receiver located in your vehicle.

When the system detects low pressure in the tyres, a warning message is

displayed in the information display. See
