Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most convenient location to fasten a child restraint system.

Children should travel facing rearwards in the vehicle as long as possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.

Suitable are restraint systems that comply with ECE 44-03 or

ECE 44-04. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.

Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of the child restraint system within the vehicle is correct.

48 Seats, restraints

Allow children to enter and exit the vehicle only on the side facing away from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat belt or remove it from the vehicle.

attached to lashing eyes 3 67.

■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment using FlexOrganizer or a luggage floor net to prevent sliding.

■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, fit the safety net

3

69. The backrests of the rear

seats must not be angled forward.

■ Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the backrests.

■ Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the instrument panel, and do not cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.

■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electrical parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any unsecured objects in the interior.

■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load in the vehicle is securely stowed.

Otherwise objects can be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause personal injury or damage to the load or car.

■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross vehicle weight (see identification

plate 3 195) and the EC kerb

weight.

To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter the data for your vehicle in the

Weights table at the front of this manual.

The EC kerb weight includes weights for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank

90 % full).

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.

If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows.

Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop.

Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle.

Malfunction indicator light 3 84.

Diesel particle filter

The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving without any notification.

The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may take more than

15 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.

short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically.

Driving and operating 127

If cleaning of the filter is required and previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by control indicator %

Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started.

If control indicator Z illuminates additionally in the instrument cluster when the engine is running, there may be a fault in the diesel particle

filter 3 84. Seek the assistance of a

workshop immediately.

Caution

If the cleaning process is interrupted, there is a risk of provoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.

Do not switch off the engine until the cleaning process is complete. This is indicated by the extinguished control indicator %.

Catalytic converter

The catalytic converter reduces the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed

on pages 3 142, 3 199 could

damage the catalytic converter or electronic components.

Unburnt petrol will overheat and damage the catalytic converter.

Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank dry and starting the engine by pushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, uneven engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual problems, have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop as soon as possible. In an emergency, driving can be continued for a short period, keeping vehicle speed and engine speed low.

Automatic transmission

The automatic transmission permits automatic gearshifting (automatic mode) or manual gearshifting

(manual mode).

Transmission display

D = drive position (automatic mode)

1-6 = selected gear in manual mode

Selector lever

The mode or selected gear is shown in the transmission display.

P = park position

R = reverse gear

N = neutral

P = park position, wheels are locked, engage only when the vehicle is stationary and the electrical parking brake is applied

R = reverse gear, engage only when vehicle is stationary

N = neutral or idle

D = drive position (automatic mode with all gears)

The selector lever is locked in position

P and N and can only be moved when the ignition is on and the foot brake is applied.

To engage P or R, push the release button.

Never shift to P or R while the vehicle is moving.

The engine can only be started with lever in position P or N. Depress foot brake or apply electrical parking brake before starting.

Do not accelerate while engaging a gear. Never depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time.

When a gear is engaged, the vehicle slowly begins to creep when the foot brake is released.

Engine braking

To utilise the engine braking effect, select a lower gear in good time when driving downhill - see Manual mode.

Use of the engine braking effect, as opposed to the use of the foot brake when driving downhill, can extend the life of the brakes.

Rocking the vehicle

Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in water, ice, sand, mud, snow or a dip.

Move the selector lever between D and R in a repeat pattern while applying light pressure to the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in gear. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

If the vehicle cannot be released after rocking the vehicle several times, your vehicle may need to be towed

Gearshifting in manual mode can be achieved whilst accelerating. If the engine speed is too low, the

Driving and operating 129

transmission will automatically shift to a lower gear, even in manual mode, to prevent the engine from stalling.

If a higher gear is selected when vehicle speed is too low, or a lower gear when vehicle speed is too high, the shift is not executed.

In manual mode, no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high engine revolutions.

Gears can be skipped by moving the selector lever repeatedly at short intervals.

After stopping, 1st gear is automatically selected. When starting on slippery surfaces, tip selector lever forwards to engage 2nd gear.

To move back to position D, move selector lever back to the right.

Electronic driving programmes

■ Following a cold start, the operating temperature programme increases engine speed to quickly bring the catalytic converter to the required temperature.

130 Driving and operating

Kickdown

In both automatic and manual modes, if the accelerator pedal is pressed down completely the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed. Full engine power is available for acceleration.

Fuel economy mode

Activate fuel economy mode to allow the transmission to adapt gearshift patterns, improving the vehicle's fuel economy.

Activation

In automatic mode, press button s

; control indicator s illuminates in the instrument cluster

88.

The settings of certain electronic systems are adapted to reduce fuel consumption:

■ The engine reacts less quickly to the accelerator pedal.

■ Automatic upshift points occur sooner and downshift points occur later.

■ The transmission locks itself to the engine at cruising speeds, to improve efficiency and increase power and torque.

■ The fuel supply is automatically cutoff more quickly during vehicle deceleration. Overrun cut-off

3

123.

Do not use fuel economy mode whilst towing, e.g. a trailer.

Deactivation

Fuel economy mode is switched off by pressing button s again; control indicator s extinguishes in the instrument cluster.

If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection.

Do not grind the clutch unnecessarily.

When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest.

132 Driving and operating

Caution

It is not advisable to drive with the hand resting on the selector lever.

Drive systems

All-wheel drive

All-wheel drive is an active-ondemand system that engages automatically, with no action required by the driver. Depending on the driving environment, the vehicle switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, to give the vehicle more traction and stability when necessary.

If the front wheels begin to slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required. More torque is transferred to the wheels that have the most traction, so the vehicle has optimum grip at all times.

There may be a slight engagement noise during hard use.

As well as enabling the vehicle to be driven off-road, this system also enables the vehicle to be driven on normal roads without incurring excessive tyre and drivetrain wear or causing poor control.

Ensure tyres (including the spare) are inflated to the correct pressure

3

205 and are suitable for the

prevailing road conditions. For optimum system performance, the vehicle's tyres should not have varying degrees of wear.

If control indicator B flashes in the instrument cluster during driving, Allwheel drive is temporarily disabled. If

B

flashes continuously, there is a fault in the system; seek the assistance of a workshop.

All-wheel drive control indicator B

3

85.

On-road driving

The increased traction of All-wheel drive vehicles offers greater driving control in adverse road conditions, particularly heavy snow and ice.

However, All-wheel drive vehicles are not "skid-proof" and do not decrease stopping distances.

All-wheel drive vehicles have a higher centre of gravity than conventional vehicles. Always approach curves at an appropriate driving speed. Do not

attempt to go as fast through turns as you might in a conventional vehicle.

Strong crosswinds can affect the normal steering of the vehicle. Drive slower under strong crosswind conditions.

Off-road driving

■ Avoid protruding objects (such as rocks or tree stumps) that may damage the underbody and tyres of your vehicle.

■ Test the brakes after operating in mud, to clear excess mud from the braking surfaces.

■ Grip the steering wheel when travelling over rough terrain.

Terrain conditions can cause rapid and unexpected movement in the steering.

The ground clearance, ramp angle, angle of approach and departure and wading depth need to be considered, especially in hilly conditions and when wading, to prevent the vehicle becoming stuck and possibly damaged.

Vehicle dimensions 3 202.

Towing the vehicle 3 186.

Driving through water

Do not exceed the maximum wading

depth 3 202.

Check the depth of water: choose the lowest entry and departure angles before entering. Maintain a steady engine speed, to help prevent water from entering the exhaust system, but do not exceed 3 mph, to avoid splashing the water.

Drive with the flow wherever possible, not against it. If you have to drive against the flow, try to drive at an angle to it, so that the leading corner of the vehicle will help deflect water from the engine compartment. Avoid splashing the water - if the ignition system becomes wet, the engine may stall.

Avoid water entering the air intake system. If water enters the air intake system, engine seizure with severe costly damage may result.

Test the brakes after leaving the water - wet brakes are less effective than dry ones. Perform the service

Driving and operating 133

operations for wading , involving checks for water contamination, at the earliest opportunity.

Service checks after wading

Check for the ingress of water into the following:

■ Brake fluid reservoir

■ Air cleaner element

■ Engine

■ Transmission

■ Axles

■ Interior of vehicle

Renew any lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid that has a milky appearance, indicating contamination with water.

Cleaning

Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as soon as possible after driving offroad.

Do not let mud remain dry on any part of the vehicle as it becomes abrasive and can damage paint, glass, seals, bearings and brake components. If left to build up, mud can seriously affect the airflow through and over

134 Driving and operating

mechanical components and cause localised overheating and failure of parts, especially in the engine compartment.

Ensure the radiator core and the area between the radiator and intercooler/ oil cooler (where installed) is cleaned, to maintain proper cooling air flow.

Check the radiator and cooler cores for blockage (sand, silt etc.).

Check the tyre treads.

Clean and check the mechanical parts of the vehicle, particularly the following areas:

■ Driveshafts, including sealing bellows

■ Front brake calipers, pads and discs

■ Front suspension

■ Clutch fork sealing bellows

■ Rear brake calipers, pads and discs

■ Rear suspension

■ Fuel tank and underguard

■ Breathers, axles and fuel tank

■ Load sensing valve

■ Transfer box and underguard

■ Engine oil pan and underguard

Observe the following:

■ Do not spray high-pressure water directly at the vehicle seals

■ The wheels must be removed to clean all mud and stones from the brake calipers and to check brake pad wear

■ The areas on the upper side of the underguards must be cleared of stones, to prevent damage to the engine oil pan and the fuel tank

Brakes

The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits.

If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey.

When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed.

Control indicator R 3 84.

Antilock brake system

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

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure as soon as a wheel shows a tendency to lock. The vehicle remains steerable, even during hard braking.

ABS control is made apparent through a pulse in the brake pedal and the noise of the regulation process.

For optimum braking, keep the brake pedal fully depressed throughout the braking process, despite the fact that the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce the pressure on the pedal.

After starting off, the system performs a self-test which may be audible.

Control indicator u 3 85.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the wheels may be liable to lock due to braking that is heavier than normal. The advantages of ABS are no longer available. During hard braking, the vehicle can no longer be steered and may swerve.

You can continue driving, provided you drive with care and anticipation.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Parking brake

Electrical parking brake

Driving and operating 135

Applying when vehicle is stationary

Pull switch m, the electrical parking brake operates automatically with adequate force. For maximum force, e.g. parking with a trailer or on inclines, pull switch m twice.

The electrical parking brake can always be activated, even if the ignition is off.

Do not operate electrical parking brake system too often without engine running as this will discharge the battery.

Before leaving the vehicle, check the electrical parking brake status.

Control indicator m 3 85.

Releasing

Switch on ignition. Keep foot brake depressed and then push switch m.

If the foot brake is not depressed when attempting to release electrical parking brake, a warning chime will sound and control indicator illuminates in the instrument cluster

3

89.

136 Driving and operating

Drive away function

With the engine running, selecting a forward gear (manual transmission) or engaging D (automatic transmission) and then depressing the accelerator pedal automatically releases the electrical parking brake.

This is not possible when the switch m

is pulled at the same time.

This function also helps driving away on inclines.

Aggressive drive away may reduce life time of wear parts.

Dynamic braking when vehicle is moving

When the vehicle is moving and the switch m is kept pulled, a warning chime will sound and the electrical parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle, but will not apply statically.

As soon as the switch m is released, dynamic braking will be stopped.

Fault

Failure mode of electrical parking brake is indicated by control indicator j

3 85.

In the event of a fault, to apply electrical parking brake: pull and hold the switch m for a few seconds. If control indicator m illuminates, electrical parking brake has been applied successfully.

To release electrical parking brake: push and hold the switch m for a few seconds. If control indicator m extinguishes, electrical parking brake has been released successfully.

If control indicator m flashes: electrical parking brake is not fully applied or released. When m is continuously flashing, with ignition switched on depress brake pedal, release electrical parking brake and retry applying.

If m continues to flash, do not drive the vehicle. If necessary, place wedge blocks or equivalent in front of and behind wheels to prevent vehicle movement. Seek the assistance of a workshop to have the cause of the fault remedied.

Brake assist

If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied

(full braking).

Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on inclines.

When releasing the foot brake after stopping on an incline, the brakes remain on for a further 2 seconds. The brakes release automatically as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate.

Ride control systems

Electronic Stability Control

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning.

As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

ESC is operational as soon as control indicators b and t extinguish in the instrument cluster after switching on the ignition.

When ESC is active b flashes 3 86.

9 Warning

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving.

Adapt speed to the road conditions.

Deactivation

With ESC active, if wheels are slipping on wet, snowy or icy roads, engine speed may not increase when accelerator pedal is depressed. The vehicle may not move.

Driving and operating 137

Switch off ESC function, to allow engine rpm to increase, by pressing button t briefly. Control indicator t illuminates in the instrument cluster.

ESC is reactivated by pressing button t

again. The control indicator extinguishes.

Control indicator t 3 87.

Hydraulic brake assist

When the ESC function comes into action and recognises any emergency situation requiring hard braking, it automatically delivers increased braking pressure to the wheels.

Active rollover protection

If the vehicle moves in an unstable manner, this function helps the vehicle maintain normal stability.

138 Driving and operating

Trailer stability assist

If the system detects snaking movements, engine power is reduced and the vehicle/trailer combination is selectively braked until the snaking ceases. While system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible.

Descent control system

The Descent control system (DCS) allows the vehicle to travel at a low speed without depressing the foot brake. The vehicle will automatically decelerate to a low speed and remain at that speed when the system is activated. Some noise or vibration from the brake system may be apparent when the system is active.

Caution

Use only when descending steep grades while driving off-road. Do not use when driving on normal road surfaces. Unnecessary usage of the DCS function, such as while driving on normal roads, may damage the brake system and the ESC function.

Activation

At speeds below approx. 30 mph, press button u. The green control indicator u flashes in the instrument cluster, to show DCS is in operation.

DCS will not activate at speeds above

30 mph, even if the button is pressed.

Deactivation

Press button u again. The green control indicator u extinguishes.

Depressing the foot brake or accelerator will also cause the system to be deactivated.

Fault

The yellow control indicator u flashes to indicate that the system is not ready for conditions to operate, due to the high temperature (approx.

350 - 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature drops below 350 °C.

The yellow control indicator u illuminates when there is a malfunction in the system, due to the extremely high temperature

(over 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature drops below 350 °C. These temperatures may differ according to vehicle conditions or outside conditions.

Flashing or illumination of the yellow control indicator u reminds the driver that the friction material needs to cool down: drive the vehicle without braking as much as possible. If the control indicator does not extinguish, have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

DSC control indicators u 3 86.

Automatic level control

The rear level of the vehicle is automatically adjusted to the load conditions while driving. Suspension and ground clearance are increased, which improves driving conditions.

The automatic level control is activated after the vehicle has been driven for some distance, depending on the vehicle load and the road conditions.

Do not use full payload in the event of a fault. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Headlight range adjustment 3 106.

Cruise control

The cruise control can store and maintain speeds above 25 mph.

Deviations from the stored speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.

For safety reasons the cruise control cannot be activated until the foot brake has been operated once.

Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed.

Resume stored speed

Press the + RES button at a speed above 25 mph. The stored speed will be obtained.

Deleting the stored speed

The stored speed will be deleted by pressing the e button or switching off the ignition.

Object detection systems

Parking assist

The parking assist system makes parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles to the front and rear, and giving acoustic signals. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre.

The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in both the front and rear bumpers.

Control indicator r 3 86.

Activation

With the ignition on, the system must be activated manually.

Press button r on the instrument panel. The LED in the button will illuminate and will activate when a forward gear or reverse gear is engaged and the electrical parking brake is released.

An obstacle is indicated by an acoustic signal. The interval between the sounds becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.

When the distance is less than

30 cm, the signal is continuous. The acoustic signal may differ depending on the type of object detected.

Deactivation

To deactivate, press the button again and the LED in the button will extinguish. The control indicator r in the instrument cluster will illuminate until the vehicle speed exceeds

18 mph.

The system is deactivated automatically when the vehicle speed is above 5 mph or when selector lever is in neutral (automatic transmission in N or P).

If the b button is pressed again, the

LED in the button will extinguish and the system will be reactivated as soon as a forward gear or reverse gear is engaged and the electrical parking brake is released.

Fault

In the event of a fault in the system, control indicator r illuminates in the instrument cluster.

Driving and operating 141

If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times continuously when there are no obstacles near the front or rear bumper, there is a fault in the system.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Important hints for using the parking assist system

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles.

Caution

Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow.

Performance of the parking assist system can be reduced due to heavy loading.

142 Driving and operating

Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed.

Objects with a very small reflection cross-section, e.g. objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system.

Parking assist systems do not detect objects outside the detection range.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.

Your engine is capable of running with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to

10 % bioethanol.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating 3 199. Use of fuel with

too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives that contain metallic compounds such as manganese-based additives. This may cause engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage and may affect your warranty.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.

Note

Use unleaded Premium fuel only for the following countries:

Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,

Moldova.

Fuel for ethanol adapted engines (E85)

If access to E85 is limited then fuel with a different proportion of ethanol or normal RON 95 can be used for refuelling. The engine's control

management system is adjusted automatically according to the amount of ethanol in the fuel.

E85 fuel must fulfil the CWA 15293 or

SS 155480 standard.

When the temperature is about

-10 °C or lower a greater proportion of petrol should be used. E85 in combination with low temperatures could lead to the car being more difficult to start. A slightly higher proportion of petrol improves the cold start properties considerably.

During the engine's warm-up phase

(below +50 °C) engine torque is limited when driving with a proportion of ethanol.

Ethanol contains less energy per litre than petrol, which is why fuel consumption increases when driving on E85 compared with petrol. A consequence of this is that a tank of

E85 covers fewer miles than a tank of petrol.

Caution

Certain additives in petrol could, in combination with ethanol, cause reduced driveability. For this reason, refuel with a full tank of petrol every 6000 miles. Use up the majority of this before refuelling the car again.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590.

In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply with EN 590 or similar can lead to engine power loss, increased wear or engine damage and loss of warranty.

Driving and operating 143

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch off any mobile phones.

Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.

No smoking. No naked flames or sparks.

If you can smell fuel in your vehicle, have the cause of this remedied immediately by an authorized dealer.

144 Driving and operating

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition.

Fuel filler flap is located at left rear side of vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be opened

if the vehicle is unlocked 3 20.

Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

To unlock fuel filler cap: turn it anticlockwise. If hissing occurs, wait until it stops before completely unscrewing the cap.

The fuel filler cap can be retained in the holder on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

After refuelling, replace the fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise until you hear several clicks. Ensure the cap is screwed in completely, otherwise control indicator Z may illuminate in

the instrument cluster 3 84.

Close fuel filler flap.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

Fuel filler cap

Only a genuine fuel filler cap provides full functionality. Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Fuel consumption data and CO

2 emission data are determined according to regulation R (EC) No.

715/2007 (in the version respectively applicable), taking into consideration the vehicle weight in running order, as specified by the regulation.

The figures are provided only for the purpose of comparison between different vehicle variants and must not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a particular vehicle. Additional equipment may result in slightly higher results than the stated

figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style as well as road and traffic conditions.

Towing

General information

The coupling ball bar is kept in a bag, fastened with a strap and is stowed below the floor cover in the load compartment.

Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle.

Control indicator á illuminates in the instrument cluster when a trailer is

connected to the vehicle 3 90.

Driving characteristics and towing tips

In the case of trailers with brakes, attach the break-away stopping cable to the eye - not to the coupling ball bar.

Driving and operating 145

If no eye is available, loop cable around coupling ball bar. Ensure cable is crossed under the vertical coupling socket to ensure the trailer nose cannot drop to the ground if it becomes separated from the trailer hitch. Do not allow the cable to drag along the ground and always allow enough slack to permit full turning.

Follow the instructions supplied with the towing equipment.

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with low driving stability, the use of a friction-type stabiliser is strongly recommended.

Do not drive faster than 50 mph, even in countries where higher speeds are permitted. When driving uphill, do not drive faster than 20 mph in 1st gear, or 30 mph in 2nd gear.

If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary.

146 Driving and operating

When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed.

Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load 3 205.

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

The permissible trailer loads are vehicle-dependent and enginedependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled.

When the trailer load is being checked, therefore, only the trailer wheels - and not the jockey wheel must be standing on the weighing apparatus.

The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %.

The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than

8 %, e.g. motorways).

The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate

3

195.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer.

The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (80 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents.

Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.

When measuring the vertical coupling load, ensure the drawbar of the loaded trailer is at the same height as it will be when the trailer is coupled with the towing vehicle loaded. This is particularly important for trailers with tandem axle.

Rear axle load

When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle is fully loaded

(including all occupants), the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) must not be exceeded.

National regulations regarding maximum speeds for vehicles towing a trailer must be observed.

Towing equipment

Caution

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

Towing equipment with detachable coupling ball bar

The coupling ball bar is kept in a bag, fastened with a strap and is stowed below the floor cover in the load compartment.

Fitting the coupling ball bar

Remove sealing plug from the hole for the coupling ball bar and stow it in the load compartment.

Driving and operating

Inserting the coupling ball bar

147

Confirm that the colour marking on the lever is red.

Insert the coupling ball bar into the coupling housing and push firmly downwards until the coupling ball bar audibly engages. If it does not engage, repeat fitting procedure.

Do not swing the coupling ball bar to the left or right, or upwards and downwards, to avoid disrupting correct fitting.

148 Driving and operating

Lock coupling ball bar by turning the supplied key in the lock cylinder of the coupling ball bar. Remove key.

Check that the coupling ball bar is correctly attached:

■ Green marking must be visible on lever.

■ Coupling ball bar must be seated firmly in coupling housing.

Coupling ball bar must be locked and key must be removed.

Remove wheel wrench from the bag.

Vehicles with tyre repair kit

Push both levers on the floor cover towards the handle and pull up the cover by the handle.

Where present, hang the hook to the upper part of the tailgate opening.

In vehicles with a tyre repair kit, there may not be a jack and vehicle tool kit.

The tyre repair kit is in a storage compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.

To remove the tyre repair kit, open the tailgate and pull the floor cover handle

upwards 3 66.

Caution

Do not allow objects to protrude above the top of the rear floor storage compartment, to avoid damage to the storage area and the load compartment floor.

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for damage. Seek the assistance of a workshop in the event of damage or unusual wear.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.

Tyres of size 215/70 R 16 are recommended as winter tyres.

In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

If winter tyres are installed that have not been approved for your vehicle,

Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system performance may be affected

Vehicle care 173

137. Seek the assistance of a

workshop regarding availability of approved winter tyres.

If winter tyres are in use, the temporary spare wheel may still be fitted with a summer tyre. Vehicle driveability could be affected, especially on slippery road surfaces.

Spare wheel 3 183.

Tyre designations

E.g. 235/65 R 17 104 H

235 = Tyre width, in mm

65 = Cross-section ratio (tyre height to tyre width), %

R = Belt type: Radial

RF = Type: RunFlat

17 = Wheel diameter, in inches

104 = Load index e.g. 91 is equivalent to 618 kg

H = Speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q = up to 100 mph

S = up to 112 mph

T = up to 118 mph

H = up to 130 mph

174 Vehicle care

V = up to 150 mph

W = up to 168 mph

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system.

Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier.

The valve cap key is located on the inside of the tank flap.

Tyre pressure 3 205.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warmup and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.

If the tyre pressure shall be reduced or increased on a vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring system, switch off ignition.

Tyre pressure monitoring system

The tyre pressure monitoring system checks the pressure of all four wheels once per minute when vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit.

All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. If wheels without sensors are mounted, the tyre pressure monitoring system is not operational. Retrofitting of sensors is possible.

The current tyre pressures can be shown in the menu item Tyres in the

Board Computer menu. Press the

BC button on the Infotainment system and select the menu item.

The tyre pressure monitoring system automatically detects the vehicle load. A message appears on the information display if inconsistent tyre pressures are detected. In some versions, the message is displayed in abbreviated form.

For example, the following messages can be displayed:

A graphic indicating the left rear tyre is shown together with the current tyre pressure; slight pressure deviation.

Reduce speed. Check tyre pressure at next opportunity with an appropriate gauge and correct if necessary.

On the Colour-Info-Display, this message will appear in yellow.

A graphic indicating the front left tyre is shown together with the current tyre pressure; significant pressure deviation or direct pressure loss.

Steer out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without endangering other vehicles. Stop and check the tyres. Mount the spare

wheel if necessary 3 180.

On the Colour-Info-Display, this message will appear in red.

Acknowledgement of warnings 3 91,

3

93.

Vehicle messages 3 99.

Vehicle care 175

If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre

pressures 3 174, 3 205.

External high-power radio equipment could disrupt the tyre pressure monitoring system.

The tyre pressure monitoring system valve cores and sealing rings must be replaced each time the tyres are changed.

Temperature compensation

Cold tyres decrease the tyre pressure, warm tyres increase the tyre pressure. The tyre pressure monitoring system considers this effect for the warning messages.

The tyre pressure value shown in the display is the actual tyre pressure.

Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with cold tyres.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular intervals.

176 Vehicle care

Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).

For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary by more than

2 mm.

The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall.

If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before.

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel size

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.

After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

If wheel rims of a different type are to be installed, the wheel nuts may also need to be changed. We recommend you consult your service partner.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents.

Vehicle care 177

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels.

They must be fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order to achieve a concentric fit.

Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre chains are permitted only on

16 inch wheels. We recommend you consult your service partner.

The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.

If the use of tyre chains is required after suffering a flat front tyre, fit the temporary spare wheel on the rear axle and transfer one of the rear wheels to the front axle.

Tyre repair kit

Minor damage to the tyre tread or sidewall can be repaired with the tyre repair kit.

Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres.

Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.

In vehicles with a tyre repair kit, there may not be a jack and vehicle tool kit.

Vehicle tools 3 171.

Towing

Towing the vehicle

The towing eye is located under the front bumper.

Remove the spoiler from the front left side of the vehicle and attach the

towing eye. Vehicle tools 3 171.

Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow rod - to the front towing eye, never to the bumper or front suspension units.

Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.

The front towing eye must only be used for towing and not recovering a vehicle.

Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper.

Transmission in neutral.

Turn key to ignition switch position

ACC and release the electrical parking brake before towing the vehicle.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle.

When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer.

Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.

To prevent the entry of exhaust fumes from the towing vehicle, switch on the

air recirculation system 3 115 and

close the windows.

Vehicles with manual transmission:

The vehicle must be towed facing forwards. The maximum speed is

55 mph. In all other cases, and when the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

Do not tow the vehicle using the towing eye. Towing with a tow rope could cause severe damage to the transmission. When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission, use flat bed or wheel lift equipment.

Seek the assistance of a workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye and replace the spoiler. Store towing eye in the storage compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.

Vehicle tools 3 171.

Towing another vehicle

Remove the cover located on the rear bumper by pressing the lower part of the cover.

The rear towing eye attachment is stored below the floor cover in the load compartment.

Screw the rear towing eye attachment anticlockwise using a suitable screwdriver, until it is firmly in place and stops in a horizontal position.

Vehicle care 187

The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle.

To prevent damage, do not take up slack in the tow rope too quickly.

After towing, unscrew the rear towing eye attachment clockwise to remove, and reinstall the cover.

188 Vehicle care

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use de-icing agent only when absolutely necessary, as this has a degreasing effect and impairs lock function. After using de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences.

Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.

When using automatic car washes, select a programme that includes waxing.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint damage.

If using a car wash, comply with the car wash manufacturer's instructions.

The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be switched off.

Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc.

If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out.

Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of 4 to 9.

Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop.

Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision.

Exterior lights

Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic. Do not use any abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.

Polishing and waxing

Wax the vehicle regularly (at the latest when water no longer beads).

Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.

Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a protective film, making waxing unnecessary.

Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiper blades

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window, make sure the heating element inside is not damaged.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass.

Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner.

Sunroof

Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media

(e.g. paint cleaner, acetonecontaining solutions etc.), acidic or highly alkaline media or abrasive pads. Do not apply wax or polishing agents to the sunroof.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner.

Rims are painted and can be treated with the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust areas repaired by a workshop.

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody have a PVC undercoating while other critical areas have a durable protective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if necessary.

Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop.

Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked.

Vehicle care 189

Towing equipment

Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.

Rear carrier system

Clean the rear carrier system with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner at least once a year.

Operate the rear carrier system once in a while if not in regular use, in particular during winter.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner.

Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care.

The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth.

190 Vehicle care

Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on lightcoloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible.

Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.

The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be cleaned with the same cleaner as used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use highpressure jet cleaners.

The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop.

Make sure that the Service and

Warranty Booklet is completed correctly as continuous proof of service is essential if any warranty or goodwill claims are to be met, and is also a benefit when selling the vehicle.

192 Service and maintenance

Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts

Recommended fluids and lubricants

Only use products that meet the recommended specifications.

Damage resulting from the use of products not in line with these specifications will not be covered by the warranty.

9 Warning

Operating materials are hazardous and could be poisonous. Handle with care. Pay attention to information given on the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality and its viscosity. Quality is more important than viscosity when selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine cleanliness, wear protection and oil ageing control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities have to be used.

Recommendations for gasoline engines are also valid for Ethanol

(E85) fuelled engines.

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature

3

196.

Topping up engine oil

Engine oils of different manufacturers and brands can be mixed as long as they comply with the required engine oil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oil with only

ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is prohibited, since it can cause longterm engine damage under certain operating conditions.

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature

3

196.

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil additives could cause damage and invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity

The SAE viscosity grade gives information of the thickness of the oil.

Multigrade oil is indicated by two figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first figure, followed by a W, indicates the low temperature viscosity and the second figure the high temperature viscosity.

Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient

temperature 3 196.

All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only silicate-free long life coolant

(LLC) antifreeze. Consult a workshop.

The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost protection down to approx. -28 °C. In northern countries with very low temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -37°C. This concentration should be maintained all year round.

The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.

Brake and clutch fluid

Only use high-performance DOT4+ brake fluid approved for the vehicle.

Consult a workshop.

Over time, brake fluid absorbs moisture which will reduce braking effectiveness. The brake fluid should therefore be replaced at the specified interval.

Brake fluid should be stored in a sealed container to avoid water absorption.

Ensure brake fluid does not become contaminated.

Vehicle data recording and privacy

Event data recorders

Data storage modules in the vehicle

A large number of electronic components of your vehicle contain data storage modules temporarily or permanently storing technical data about the condition of the vehicle, events and errors. In general, this technical information documents the condition of parts, modules, systems or the environment:

■ Operating conditions of system components (e.g. filling levels)

■ Status messages of the vehicle and its single components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions / rotational speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration)

■ Dysfunctions and defects in important system components

■ Vehicle reactions in particular driving situations (e.g. inflation of an airbag, activation of the stability regulation system)

■ Environmental conditions (e.g.

temperature)

These data are exclusively technical and help identifying and correcting errors as well as optimizing vehicle functions.

Motion profiles indicating travelled routes cannot be created with these data.

If services are used (e.g. repair works, service processes, warranty cases, quality assurance), employees of the service network

(manufacturer included) are able to read out this technical information from the event and error data storage modules applying special diagnostic devices. If required, you will receive further information at these workshops. After an error has been corrected, the data are deleted from the error storage module or they are constantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situations may occur in which these technical data related to other information

(accident report, damages on the vehicle, witness statements etc.) may be associated with a specific person possibly with the assistance of an expert.

Additional functions contractually agreed upon with the client (e.g.

vehicle location in emergency cases) allow the transmission of particular vehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID)

RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and ignition system security. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking/unlocking and starting, and invehicle transmitters for garage door openers. RFID technology in

Vauxhall vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system containing personal information.
