Beyond the warning required by ECE R94.02, for safety reasons never use a forward-facing child restraint system on the passenger seat with an active front airbag.

9 Danger

Do not use a child restraint system on the passenger seat with active front airbag.

The airbag label is located on both sides of the front passenger sun visor. Airbag deactivation 3 61.

Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of one airbag in the steering wheel and one in the instrument panel on the front passenger side. These can be identified by the word AIRBAG.

Additionally there is a warning label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the front passenger sun visor. The front airbag system is triggered in the event of a front-end impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

60 Seats, restraints

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat occupants considerably.

9 Warning

Optimum protection is only provided when the seat is in the proper position. Seat position 3 46. Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Fit the seat belt correctly and engage securely. Only then is the airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an airbag in each front seat backrest. This can be identified by the word AIRBAG. The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain severity. The ignition must be switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the impact, thereby reducing the risk of injury to the head and upper body in the event of a side-on collision considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions.

Note Only use protective seat covers that have been approved for the vehicle. Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Seats, restraints 61

Airbag deactivation The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The side airbags, the belt pretensioners and all driver airbag systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system can be deactivated via a key- operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key to choose the position: *OFF = front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator *OFF illuminates continuously in the centre console. A child restraint system can be installed in accordance with the chart Child restraint installation locations 3 64. No adult person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat.

VON = front passenger airbag is active. A child restraint system must not be installed.

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using a child restraint system on a seat with activated front passenger airbag.

Risk of fatal injury for an adult person on a seat with deactivated front passenger airbag.

If the control indicator V illuminates for approx. 60 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the front passenger airbag system will inflate in the event of a collision. If both control indicators are illuminated at the same time, there is a system failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is allowed to occupy the front passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately.

62 Seats, restraints

Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag deactivation 3 88.

Child restraints Child restraint systems We recommend the following child restraint systems which are tailored specifically to the vehicle: Group 0, Group 0+

Vauxhall Baby Safe, with or without ISOFIX base, for children up to 13 kg

Group I Vauxhall Duo ISOFIX, for children from 9 kg to 18 kg

Group II, Group III Vauxhall Kid, for children from 15 kg up to 36 kg

When a child restraint system is being used, pay attention to the following usage and installation instructions and also those supplied with the child restraint system. Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats.

9 Warning

When using a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag systems for the front passenger seat must be deactivated; if not, the triggering of the airbags poses a risk of fatal injury to the child. This is especially the case if rear- facing child restraint systems are used on the front passenger seat.

Airbag deactivation 3 61. Airbag label 3 56.

9 Warning

When using child restraint systems on the rear seats, ensure that the backrests are engaged securely in upright position.

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

Seats, restraints 63

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 valid UN ECE regulations. 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, see following tables. 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.

Note Do not affix anything on the child restraint systems and do not cover them with any other materials. A child restraint system which has been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced.

Daytime running lights Daytime running lights increase visibility of the vehicle during daylight. They are switched on automatically when ignition is on. If the vehicle is equipped with automatic light control function, the system switches between daytime running light and low/high beam automatically, depending on the lighting conditions and information given by the rain sensor system. Automatic light control 3 109.

Adaptive forward lighting The Adaptive forward lighting functions are only available with Bi- Xenon headlights. Light range, light distribution and intensity of light are variably triggered depending on the light conditions, weather and road type.

With the light switch in position AUTO all lighting functions are available. The following functions are available also with light switch in position 9: Dynamic curve lighting Cornering light Reversing function Dynamic automatic headlight

levelling

Playstreet lighting Activated automatically at low speed up to approx. 20 mph. The light beam is turned at an angle of 8 to the roadside.

Town lighting Activated automatically at a speed range between approx. 25 and 34 mph and when street lights are detected by the light sensor. The light range is reduced by an extended light distribution.

Country lighting Activated automatically at a speed range between approx. 34 and 70 mph. The beam of light and the brightness is different between the left and the right side.

Motorway lighting Activated automatically at a speed above approx. 70 mph and minimal steering movements. It switches on after a delay or directly when the vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The light beam is longer and brighter.

Adverse weather lighting Activated automatically up to a speed of approx. 43 mph, when the rain sensor recognises condensation or the wiper operates continuously. The range, distribution and light intensity is regulated variably depending on visibility.

Lighting 113

Dynamic curve lighting

The light beam pivots based on steering wheel angle and speed, improving lighting in curves. Control indicator f 3 93.

Corner lighting

On tight bends or when turning off, depending on the steering angle or the turn signal light, an additional left or right reflector is switched on which illuminates the road at a right angle to the direction of travel. It is activated up to a speed of 25 mph.

Control indicator f 3 93.

Reversing function If the headlights are on and reverse gear is engaged, both corner lights are switched on. They remain illuminated for 20 seconds after disengaging reverse gear or until driving faster than 10 mph in a forward gear.

High beam assist This feature allows high beam as main driving light by night and when vehicle speed is faster than 25 mph. It switches to low beam when: the camera in the windscreen

detects the lights of oncoming or preceding vehicles

the vehicle speed is slower than 12 mph

it is foggy or snowy driving in urban areas If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high beam.

Activation

The high beam assist is activated by pushing the indicator lever twice with a speed above 25 mph. The green control indicator l illuminates continuously when the assist is activated, the blue one 7 illuminates when high beam is on. Control indicator l 3 93.

Deactivation Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are switched on.

114 Lighting

If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is on, the high beam assist will be deactivated. If a headlight flash is activated when the high beam is off, the high beam assist will stay activated. High beam assist is always active after the ignition is switched on.

Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation Intelligent light ranging uses the properties of Bi-Xenon headlights to extend the light range of the low beam by up to 400 metres and additionally activates automatic high beam without dazzling or disturbing oncoming or preceding traffic. High beam is deactivated and the low beam light range is reduced to avoid dazzling when the following restrictions are detected by the front camera in the windscreen: a preceding vehicle is recognised, an oncoming vehicle is recognised, urban areas are entered, it is foggy or snowy.

If there are no restrictions detected, the system switches back to high beam. When the system is active, the front camera monitors the area ahead of the vehicle and ensures an optimum light distribution for maximum driver vision during almost all conditions. Intelligent light ranging with automatic high beam activation therefore reduces the difference between conventional low and high beam without drastic changes in light- range, distribution and intensity.

A special topographical evaluation function detects preceding vehicles on hills or slopes by recognising the rear light moving ahead. The system adjusts the height of the light range to ensure optimum illumination on the road ahead without dazzling.

Activation

Intelligent light ranging and automatic high beam activation are switched on together by pushing the indicator lever twice. They can be switched on with ignition on.

Lighting 115

Automatic high beam activation operates at a speed above 25 mph and deactivates below 12 mph. Intelligent light ranging operates above 35 mph. The green control indicator l illuminates continuously when the function is activated, the blue one 7 illuminates when high beam switches on automatically.

Deactivation Push indicator lever once. It is also deactivated when front fog lights are switched on.

Dynamic automatic headlight levelling To prevent oncoming traffic from dazzle, headlight levelling is automatically adjusted based on inclination information measured by front and rear axle, acceleration or deceleration and vehicle speed.

Fault in Adaptive forward lighting system When the system detects a failure in the Adaptive forward lighting system, the system moves to a preset position to avoid dazzling of oncoming traffic. If this is not possible, the affected headlight will be automatically switched off. In any case, one headlight will stay on. A warning is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

Driving hints Control of the vehicle Never coast with engine not running (except during Autostop) Many systems will not function in this situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power steering). Driving in this manner is a danger to yourself and others. All systems function during an Autostop, but there will be a controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle speed is reduced. Stop-start system 3 134.

Idle boost If charging of the battery is required due to battery condition, the power output of the generator has to be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible. A message appears in the Driver Information Centre.

Pedals To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.

Steering If power steering assist is lost because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can be steered but may require increased effort. Control indicator c 3 91.

Caution

Vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering: If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and is held in that position for more than 15 seconds, damage may occur to the power steering system and there may be loss of power steering assist.

132 Driving and operating

Ground clearance Due to the reduced ground clearance, the vehicle can be damaged depending on the vehicle loading and appearance of the ground. Take special care and drive slowly on steep driveways, entry and exit of parking garages, high kerbs and uneven surfaces. If possible, drive diagonally with one wheel after another when running over kerbs or uneven surfaces.

Starting and operating New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the first few journeys. During the first drive, smoke may occur because of wax and oil evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a while after the first drive and avoid inhaling the fumes. During the running-in period fuel and engine oil consumption may be higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the vehicle battery. Diesel particle filter 3 137.

Diesel engine: turn the key to position 2 for preheating until control indicator ! extinguishes. Turn the key briefly to position 3 and release: an automatic procedure operates the starter with a short delay as long as the engine is running, see Automatic Starter Control. Before restarting or to switch off the engine, turn the key back to position 0. During an Autostop, the engine can be started by depressing the clutch pedal.

Starting the vehicle at low temperatures Starting the engine without additional heaters is possible down to -25 for diesel engines and -30 C for petrol engines. Required is an engine oil with the correct viscosity, the correct fuel, performed services and a sufficiently charged vehicle battery. With temperatures below -30 C the automatic transmission needs a warming phase of approx. 5 minutes. The selector lever must be in position P.

Automatic Starter Control This function controls the engine starting procedure. The driver does not have to hold the key in position 3. Once applied, the system will go on starting automatically until the engine is running. Because of the checking procedure, the engine starts running after a short delay.

Timeout occurred

Turbo engine warm-up Upon start-up, engine available torque may be limited for a short time, especially when the engine temperature is cold. The limitation is to allow the lubrication system to fully protect the engine.

Overrun cut-off The fuel supply is automatically cut off during overrun, i.e. when the vehicle is driven with a gear engaged but accelerator is released.

Stop-start system The stop-start system helps to save fuel and to reduce the exhaust emissions. When conditions allow, it switches off the engine as soon as the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in a traffic jam. It starts the engine automatically as soon as the clutch is depressed. A vehicle battery sensor ensures that an Autostop is only performed if the vehicle battery is sufficiently charged for a restart.

Activation The stop-start system is available as soon as the engine is started, the vehicle starts-off and the conditions as stated below in this section are fulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start system manually by pressing the eco button. The deactivation is indicated when the LED in the button extinguishes.

Autostop If the vehicle is at a low speed or at a standstill, activate an Autostop as follows: Depress the clutch pedal set the lever in neutral release the clutch pedal The engine will be switched off while the ignition stays on.

Driving and operating 135

An Autostop is indicated by the needle at the AUTOSTOP position in the tachometer. During an Autostop, the heating and brake performance will be maintained.

Caution

The steering assist can be reduced during an Autostop.

Conditions for an Autostop The stop-start system checks if each of the following conditions is fulfilled: The stop-start system is not

manually deactivated the bonnet is fully closed the driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened the vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged and in good condition the engine is warmed up the engine coolant temperature is

not too high the engine exhaust temperature is

not too high, e.g. after driving with high engine load

the ambient temperature is above -5 C

the climate control system allows an Autostop

the brake vacuum is sufficient the self-cleaning function of the

diesel particle filter is not active the vehicle was driven at least at

walking speed since the last Autostop

Otherwise an Autostop will be inhibited. Certain settings of the climate control system may inhibit an Autostop. See Climate control chapter for more details 3 124. Immediately after motorway driving an Autostop may be inhibited. New vehicle running-in 3 132.

Battery discharge protection To ensure reliable engine restarts, several battery discharge protection features are implemented as part of the stop-start system.

Power saving measures During an Autostop, several electrical features, e.g. auxiliary electric heater or rear window heating are disabled or switched into a power saving mode. The fan speed of the climate control system is reduced to save power.

136 Driving and operating

Restart of the engine by the driver Depress the clutch pedal to restart the engine. The engine start is indicated by the needle at the idle speed position in the tachometer. If the selector lever is shifted out of neutral before depressing the clutch first, control indicator - illuminates or is shown as a symbol in the Driver Information Centre. Control indicator - 3 89.

Restart of the engine by the stop-start system The selector lever has to be in neutral to enable an automatic restart. If one of the following conditions occurs during an Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically by the stop-start system: The stop-start system is manually

deactivated the bonnet is opened the driver's seat belt is unfastened

and the driver's door is opened

the engine temperature is too low the charging level of the vehicle

battery is below a defined level the brake vacuum is not sufficient the vehicle is driven at least at

walking speed the climate control system requests

an engine start the air conditioning is manually

switched on If the bonnet is not fully closed, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. If an electrical accessory, e.g. a portable CD player, is connected to the power outlet, a brief power drop during restart might be noticeable.

Parking Do not park the vehicle on an easily

ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.

Always apply parking brake. Apply manual parking brake without pressing release button. Apply as

firmly as possible on downhill or uphill slopes. Depress the foot brake at the same time to reduce operating force. Apply electric parking brake by pulling switch m for approx. one second.

Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock engages.

If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to P before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn the front wheels away from the kerb. If the vehicle is on a downhill slope, engage reverse gear or set the selector lever to P before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm system.

Driving and operating 137

Note In the event of an accident with airbag deployment, the engine is turned off automatically if the vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain time.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases contain poisonous carbon monoxide, which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled. If exhaust gases enter the interior of the vehicle, open the windows. Have the cause of the fault rectified by a workshop. Avoid driving with an open load compartment, otherwise exhaust gases could enter the vehicle.

Diesel particle filter The diesel particle filter system filters harmful soot particles out of the exhaust gases. The system includes a self-cleaning function that runs automatically during driving without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically burning off the soot particles at high temperature. This process takes place automatically under set driving conditions and may

take up to 25 minutes. Typically it needs between 7 and 12 minutes. Autostop is not available and fuel consumption may be higher during this period. The emission of smells and smoke during this process is normal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically. If the cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by control indicator %.

138 Driving and operating

Simultaneously Diesel partic. filter is full continue driving appears in the Driver Information Centre. % illuminates when diesel particle filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible. % flashes when diesel particle filter has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process immediately to avoid damage to the engine.

Cleaning process To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2000 revolutions per minute. Shift down if necessary. Diesel particle filter cleaning is then started. If additionally a message appears in the Driver Information Centre that cleaning is not possible, seek the assistance of a workshop.

Caution

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

Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads. The control indicator % extinguishes as soon as the self-cleaning operation is complete.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 169, 3 229 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.

Driving and operating 139

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

Transmission display

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

Selector lever

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

R = reverse gear, engage only when the vehicle is stationary

N = neutral D = automatic mode with all gears

The selector lever is locked in P and can only be moved when the ignition is on and the brake pedal is applied.

Without brake pedal applied, the control indicator j illuminates. If the selector lever is not in P when the ignition is switched off, the control indicators j and P flash. To engage P or R, press the release button. The engine can only be started with the lever in position P or N. When position N is selected, press the brake pedal or apply the parking brake before starting.

140 Driving and operating

Do not accelerate while engaging a gear. Never depress the accelerator pedal and brake pedal at the same time. When a gear is engaged, the vehicle slowly begins to creep when the brake is released.

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

Rocking the vehicle Rocking the vehicle is only permissible if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or snow. Move the selector lever between D and R in a repeat pattern. Do not race the engine and avoid sudden acceleration.

Parking Apply the parking brake and engage P. The ignition key can only be removed when the selector lever is in position P.

Manual mode

Move selector lever out of position D towards the left and then forwards or backwards. < = Shift to a higher gear.

] = Shift to a lower gear.

If a higher gear is selected when vehicle speed is too low, or a lower gear when vehicle speed is too high, the shift is not executed. This can cause a message in the Driver-Info-Display.

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

Electronic driving programmes Following a cold start, the operating

temperature programme increases engine speed to quickly bring the catalytic converter to the required temperature.

The automatic neutral shift function automatically shifts to idling when the vehicle is stopped with a forward gear engaged and the brake pedal is pressed.

When SPORT mode is engaged, the vehicle shifts at higher engine speeds (unless cruise control is on). SPORT mode 3 147.

Special programmes automatically adapt the shifting points when driving up inclines or down hills.

Driving and operating 141

Kickdown If the accelerator pedal is pressed down completely in automatic mode, the transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed.

Fault In the event of a fault a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 100. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Continued travel is possible with manual shifting. Only the highest gear is available. Depending on the fault, 2nd gear may also be available in manual mode. Shift only when vehicle is at a standstill. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Interruption of power supply In the event of an interruption of power supply, the selector lever cannot be moved out of the P position. The ignition key cannot be removed from the ignition switch. If the vehicle battery is discharged, start the vehicle using jump leads 3 214. If the vehicle battery is not the cause of the fault, release the selector lever. 1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Release the selector lever trim from the centre console at the front, fold it upwards and rotate it to the left.

3. Insert a screwdriver into the opening as far as it will go and move the selector lever out of P or N. If P or N is engaged again, the selector lever will be locked in position again. Have the cause of the power supply interruption remedied by a workshop.

4. Mount the selector lever trim onto the centre console and refit.

142 Driving and operating

Manual transmission

To engage reverse, with the vehicle stationary wait 3 seconds after depressing the clutch pedal and then press the release button on the selector lever and engage the gear. If the gear does not engage, set the lever to neutral, release the clutch pedal and depress again; then repeat gear selection. Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily. When operating, depress the clutch pedal completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot rest.

Caution

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

Brakes The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey. When the engine is not running, the support of the brake servo unit disappears once the brake pedal has been depressed once or twice. Braking effect is not reduced, but braking requires significantly greater force. It is especially important to bear this in mind when being towed. Control indicator R 3 89.

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

Driving and operating 143

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 90.

Adaptive brake light During full braking, all three brake lights flash for the duration of ABS control.

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.

Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Parking brake Manual parking brake

Always apply parking brake firmly without operating the release button, and apply as firmly as possible on a downhill or uphill slope. To release the parking brake, pull the lever up slightly, press the release button and fully lower the lever. To reduce the operating forces of the parking brake, depress the foot brake at the same time. Control indicator R 3 89.

144 Driving and operating

Electric parking brake

Applying when vehicle is stationary Pull switch m for approx. one second, the electric parking brake operates automatically with an adequate force. For maximum force, e.g. parking with trailer or on inclines, pull switch m twice. The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator m illuminates 3 90. The electric parking brake can always be activated, even if the ignition is off.

Do not operate electric parking brake system too often without engine running as this will discharge the vehicle battery. Before leaving the vehicle, check the electric parking brake status. Control indicator m 3 90.

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

Drive away function Depressing clutch pedal (manual transmission) or engaging drive gear (automatic transmission) and then depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking brake automatically. This is not possible when the switch is pulled at the same time. This function also helps driving away on inclines. Aggressive drive away may reduce life time of wear parts.

Dynamic braking when vehicle is moving When the vehicle is moving and the switch m is kept pulled, the electric parking brake system will decelerate the vehicle, but will not apply statically. As soon as the switch m is released, dynamic braking will be stopped.

Fault Failure mode of electric parking brake is indicated by control indicator j and by a vehicle message which is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Apply electric parking brake: pull and hold the switch m for more than 5 seconds. If control indicator m illuminates, electric parking brake is applied. Release electric parking brake: push and hold the switch m for more than 2 seconds. If control indicator m extinguishes, electric parking brake is released.

Driving and operating 145

Control indicator m flashes: electric parking brake is not fully applied or released. When continuously flashing, release electric parking brake and retry applying.

Brake assist If the brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied (full braking). Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal for as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when the brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist The system helps prevent unintended movement when driving away on inclines. When releasing the foot brake after stopping on an incline, the brakes remain on for a further two seconds. The brakes release automatically as soon as the vehicle begins to accelerate.

The hill start assist is not active during an Autostop. Ride control systems

Traction Control system The Traction Control system (TC) is a component of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) 3 146. TC improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip, by preventing the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the drive wheels starts to spin, engine output is reduced and the wheel spinning the most is braked individually. This considerably improves the driving stability of the vehicle on slippery road surfaces.

146 Driving and operating

TC is operational after each engine start as soon as the control indicator b extinguishes. When TC operates b flashes.

9 Warning

Do not let this special safety feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Adapt speed to the road conditions.

NORMAL mode All settings of the systems are adapted to standard values.

Drive mode control Within each manually selected driving mode SPORT, TOUR or NORMAL, the Drive Mode Control (DMC) detects and analyses continuously the real driving characteristic, responses by the driver, and the active dynamic state of the vehicle. If necessary, the control unit of DMC automatically changes the settings within the selected driving mode or, when recognising greater variations, the driving mode is changed for the length of variation. If, for example, NORMAL mode is selected and DMC detects a sporty driving behaviour, DMC changes several settings of the Normal mode into sporty settings. The DMC changes to SPORT mode in case of very sporty driving behaviour. If, for another example, TOUR mode is selected and whilst driving on a winding road a sudden hard brake is necessary, DMC will detect the

The system can only be activated at a speed up to 18 mph and the system searches for a parking slot at a speed up to 18 mph. The maximum allowed parallel distance between the vehicle and a row of parking cars is 1.8 metres.

Functionality

When the vehicle passes a row of cars and the system is activated, the advanced parking assist system begins searching for a suitable parking slot. When a suitable slot is detected, a visual feedback on the Driver Information Centre and an acoustic signal are given. If the driver does not stop the vehicle within 10 metres after a parking slot is proposed, the system starts to search for another suitable parking slot.

The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle is stopped by the driver within 10 metres after the Stop message is given. The system calculates the optimal route into the parking slot. Then it manoeuvres the driver into the slot by giving detailed instructions.

160 Driving and operating

The instructions in the display show: a hint when driving faster than

18 mph, the demand to stop the vehicle,

when a parking slot is detected, the direction of driving during the

parking manoeuvre, the steering wheel position during

parking, for some of the instructions a

progress bar is shown.

A successful parking manoeuvre is indicated by the End position symbol. Pay attention always to the sound of the front-rear parking assist. Continuous sound means that the distance to an obstacle is less than about 30 cm.

Changing the parking side The system is configured to detect parking slots by default on the passenger side. To detect parking slots on the driver side, switch on turn indicator to the driver side for the duration of searching.

As soon as turn indicator is switched off, the system searches for parking slots on the passenger side again.

Basic notes on parking assist systems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles. Special attention has to be paid to low obstacles which can damage the lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are covered, e.g. by ice or snow. Performance of the parking assist system can be reduced due to heavy loading. Special conditions apply if there are taller vehicles involved in the parking scene (e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans, vans, camper,

trailers and trucks). Object identification and correct distance indication in the upper part of these vehicles cannot be guaranteed. Objects with a very small reflection cross section, like objects of narrow size or soft materials, may not be detected by the system. Parking assist and advanced parking assist will not detect objects out of the detection range.

Note The parking assist system automatically detects factory-fitted towing equipment. It is deactivated when the connector is plugged in. It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object (echo disturbance) caused by external acoustical or mechanic disturbances. Advanced parking assist system may not respond to changes in the parking space after initiating a parallel parking manoeuvre.

162 Driving and operating

Note After production the advanced parking assist needs a calibration. For an optimal parking guidance a driving distance of at least 6 miles with many curves is required.

Side blind spot alert The Side blind spot alert system detects and reports objects on either side of the vehicle, within a specified "blind spot" zone. The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror, when detecting objects that may not be visible in the interior and exterior mirrors. The system's sensors are located in the bumper on the left and right side of the vehicle.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does not replace driver vision. The system does not detect: Vehicles outside the side blind

zones which may be rapidly approaching.

Pedestrians, cyclists or animals. Before changing a lane, always check all mirrors, look over the shoulder and use the turn signal.

When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone while driving forward, either while passing a vehicle or being passed, an amber warning symbol B will illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn signal, the warning symbol B starts flashing amber as a warning not to change lanes.

Side blind spot alert is active from speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph. Driving faster than 87 mph deactivates the system, indicated by low lighting warning symbols B in both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the warning symbols. If a vehicle is then detected in the blind zone, the warning symbols B will illuminate as normal on the relevant side. When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating.

Driving and operating 163

The system can be activated or deactivated in the menu Settings in the Info-Display, vehicle personalisation 3 102. Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre.

Detection zones The system sensor covers a zone of approx. 3 metres on both sides of the vehicle. This zone starts at each exterior mirror and extends rearwards by approx. 3 metres. The height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 metres and 2 metres off the ground. The system is deactivated if the vehicle is towing a trailer. Side blind spot alert is designed to ignore stationary objects such as guardrails, posts, curbs, walls and beams. Parked vehicles or oncoming vehicles are not detected.

Fault Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances.

Side blind spot alert does not operate when the left or right corners of the rear bumper are covered with mud, dirt, snow, ice or slush. Cleaning instructions 3 218. In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to temporary conditions, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Seek the assistance of a workshop.

Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle. The view of the camera is displayed in the Colour-Info-Display.

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 to run with E10 fuel that fulfills these standards. E10 fuel contains up to 10 % bioethanol. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating 3 229. 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.

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.

170 Driving and operating

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to engine powerloss, increased wear or engine damage and may affect your warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar diesel- water 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 a workshop.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition.

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

The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap. To open, turn the cap slowly to the left.

Driving and operating 171

The fuel filler cap can be retained in the bracket on the fuel filler flap. For refuelling, fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. After automatic cut-off, it can be topped up with max. two doses of fuel.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap to the right until it clicks. Close the flap and let engage.

Fuel filler cap Only use genuine fuel filler caps. Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.

Fuel consumption - CO2- Emissions The fuel consumption (combined) is within a range of 39 to 54 mpg. The CO2 emission (combined) is within a range of 169 to 138 g/km. For the values specific to your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents.

General information The official fuel consumption and specific CO2 emission figures quoted relate to the EU base model with standard equipment. Fuel consumption data and CO2 emission data are determined according to regulation R (EC) No. 715/2007 (in the latest

applicable version), taking into consideration the vehicle weight in running order, as specified by the regulation. The figures are provided only for the purpose of comparison between different vehicle variants and must not be taken as a guarantee for the actual fuel consumption of a particular vehicle. Additional equipment may result in slightly higher results than the stated consumption and CO2 figures. Furthermore, fuel consumption is dependent on personal driving style as well as road and traffic conditions.

172 Driving and operating

Trailer hitch General information Only use towing equipment that has been approved for your vehicle. Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment to a workshop. It may be necessary to make changes that affect the cooling system, heat shields or other equipment. The bulb outage detection function for trailer brake light cannot detect a partial bulb outage, e.g. in case of 4 x 5 Watt bulbs, the function only detects lamp outage when only a single 5 Watt lamp remains or none remain. Fitting of towing equipment could cover the opening of the towing eye. If this is the case use the coupling ball bar for towing. Always keep the coupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving characteristics and towing tips Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on the coupling ball, is being used to reduce snaking movements. For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than 1200 kg the use of a stabiliser is strongly recommended when driving above 50 mph. If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary. When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed. Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load 3 234.

Trailer towing Trailer loads The permissible trailer loads are vehicle and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled. The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %. The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 1000 metres above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 1000 metres of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8 %, e.g. motorways).

Driving and operating 173

The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is specified on the identification plate 3 224.

Vertical coupling load The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer. The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (75 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle load When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) may be exceeded by 100 kg, the gross vehicle weight rating may be exceeded by 100 kg. If the permissible rear axle load is exceeded, a maximum speed of 60 mph applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

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

Stowage of coupling ball bar The coupling ball bar is stowed in a bag and must be secured in the load compartment.

Vehicle with spare wheel

Wheels and tyres

Wheels On vehicles with Diesel engines no steel rims and only special, for this vehicle approved alloy wheels are permitted.

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. All tyre sizes are permitted as winter tyres 3 234.

Use tyre size 225/55 R17 only as winter tyres. On vehicles with Diesel engines, no steel rims and only special, vehicle- approved alloy wheels are permitted. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations E.g. 235/55 R 17 99 V 235 = Tyre width, mm 55 = Cross-section ratio (tyre

height to tyre width), % R = Belt type: Radial RF = Type: RunFlat 17 = Wheel diameter, inches 99 = Load index e.g. 99 is

equivalent to 775 kg V = Speed code letter

Speed code letter: Q = up to 100 mph S = up to 112 mph T = up to 118 mph H = up to 130 mph V = up to 150 mph W = up to 168 mph

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

Tyre pressure 3 234. The tyre and loading information label on the left door frame indicates the original equipment tyres and the correspondent tyre pressures. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.

Vehicle care 201

Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load. The ECO tyre pressure serves to achieve the smallest amount of fuel consumption possible. Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. Tyre pressures differ depending on various options. For the correct tyre pressure value, follow the procedure below: 1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 229. 2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 234. For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

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

If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased on a vehicle with tyre pressure monitoring system, switch off ignition. After adjusting tyre pressure switch on ignition and select the relevant setting on the page Tyre load on the Driver Information Centre, 3 94.

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

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring system warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace regular tyre maintenance by the driver.

All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. Note In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle type approval.

The current tyre pressures can be shown in the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Centre. The menu can be selected by the buttons on the turn signal lever.

202 Vehicle care

Press the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information MenuX.

Turn the adjuster wheel to select the tyre pressure monitoring system. System status and pressure warnings are displayed by a message with the corresponding tyre flashing in the Driver Information Centre.

A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by the control indicator w 3 92. If w illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended 3 234.

After inflating, driving may be required to update the tyre pressure values in the DIC. During this time w may illuminate. If w illuminates at lower temperatures and extinguishes after some driving, this could be an indicator for getting low pressure. Check tyre pressure. Vehicle messages 3 100. If the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased, switch off ignition. Only mount wheels with pressure sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure will not be displayed and w illuminates continuously. A spare wheel or temporary spare wheel is not equipped with pressure sensors. The tyre pressure monitoring system is not operational for these wheels. Control indicator w illuminates. For the further three wheels the system remains operational. The use of commercially available liquid tyre repair kits can impair the function of the system. Factory- approved repair kits can be used.

Vehicle care 203

External high-power radio equipment could disrupt the tyre pressure monitoring system. Each time the tyres are replaced tyre pressure monitoring system sensors must be dismounted and serviced. For the screwed sensor: replace valve core and sealing ring. For clipped sensor: replace complete valve stem.

Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according to tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 234, and select the relevant setting in the menu Tire Load in the Driver Information Centre, Vehicle Information Menu 3 94.

Select: Light for comfort pressure up to

3 people Eco for Eco pressure up to

3 people Max for full loading

Auto learn function After changing wheels, the vehicle must be stationary for approx. 20 minutes, before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes of driving with a minimum speed of

12 mph. In this case, $ can be displayed or pressure values can swap in the Driver Information Centre. If problems occur during the relearn process, a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Centre shows the actual tyre pressure. Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with cold tyres.

Tread depth Check tread depth at regular intervals. Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres).

204 Vehicle care

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 periodically. Ensure that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before.

Tyres age, even if they are not used. We recommend tyre replacement every 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheel size If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.

9 Warning

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

Wheel covers Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used. If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge. Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling.

9 Warning

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

Vehicles with steel wheels: When using locking wheel nuts, the wheel covers might not be attached to the steel wheels.

Vehicle care 205

Tyre chains

Use tyre chains only on front wheels. Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of size 225/55 R 17. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). Tyre chains are also permitted on tyres of size 245/45 R 18. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 7 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

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

Tyre repair kit Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit. Do not remove foreign bodies from the tyres. Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.

9 Warning

Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not use for a lengthy period. Steering and handling may be affected.

If you have a flat tyre: Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.

The tyre repair kit is in a box under the floor cover in the load compartment.

206 Vehicle care

On another version, a bag with the tyre repair kit is fixed at the left rear lashing eye in the load compartment. 1. Take the tyre repair kit from the

load compartment. 2. Remove the compressor.

3. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the stowage compartments on the underside of the compressor.

4. Screw the compressor air hose to the connection on the sealant bottle.

6. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre.

7. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve.

8. The switch on the compressor must be set to J.

9. Connect the compressor plug to the power outlet or cigarette lighter socket. To avoid discharging the vehicle battery, we recommend running the engine.

Vehicle care 207

10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled with sealant.

11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilst the sealant bottle is emptying (approx. 30 seconds). Then the pressure starts to drop.

12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.

13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 234. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor.

If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button over the pressure indicator. Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes.

14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Push catch on bracket to remove sealant bottle from bracket. Screw the tyre inflation hose to the free connection of the sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in load compartment.

15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.

16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the sealant bottle and affix in the driver's field of view.

17. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed in the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles (but no more than 10 minutes), stop and check tyre pressure. Screw compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this.

208 Vehicle care

If tyre pressure is more than 1.3 bar, set it to the correct value. Repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must not be used. Seek the assistance of a workshop.

18. Stow away the tyre repair kit in the load compartment.

Note The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre are severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced.

If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. The built-in safety valve opens at a pressure of 102 psi. Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle. Replace the used sealant bottle. Dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws. The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 C. The adapters supplied can be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc. They are located on the underside of the compressor. To remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.

Wheel changing Some vehicles are equipped with a tyre repair kit instead of a spare wheel 3 205.

Make the following preparations and observe the following information: Park the vehicle on a level, firm and

non-slippery surface. The front wheels must be in the straight- ahead position.

Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.

Remove the spare wheel 3 211. Never change more than one wheel

Temporary spare wheel

Caution

The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres

214 Vehicle care

could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible.

Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time. If your vehicle gets a flat tyre on the rear while towing another vehicle, mount the temporary spare wheel in the front and the full tyre in the rear. Tyre chains 3 205.

Directional tyres Fit directional tyres such that they roll in the direction of travel. The rolling direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall. The following applies to tyres fitted opposing the rolling direction: Driveability may be affected. Have

the defective tyre renewed or repaired as soon as possible.

Drive particularly carefully on wet and snow-covered road surfaces.

Jump starting Do not start with quick charger. A vehicle with a discharged vehicle battery can be started using jump leads and the vehicle battery of another vehicle.

9 Warning

Be extremely careful when starting with jump leads. Any deviation from the following instructions can lead to injuries or damage caused by battery explosion or damage to the electrical systems of both vehicles.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of the battery with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces. The fluid contains sulphuric acid which can cause injuries and damage in the event of direct contact.

Never expose the battery to naked flames or sparks.

A discharged vehicle battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads.

Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery.

5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

216 Vehicle care

Towing Towing the vehicle

Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the lower part of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 199.

Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. Attach a tow rope or better still a tow rod to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the vehicle. Switch on ignition to release steering wheel lock and to permit operation of brake lights, horn and windscreen wiper. Transmission in neutral.

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. To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the air recirculation and close the windows, when soft top is closed. Vehicles with automatic transmission: The vehicle must be towed facing forwards, not faster than 50 mph nor further than 60 miles. In all other cases and when the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground. Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye clockwise. Insert cap at the top and engage downwards.

Vehicle care 217

Towing another vehicle

Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the lower bend of the cap. Release the cap by carefully moving the screwdriver downwards. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 199.

Screw in the towing eye anticlockwise as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. The lashing eye at the rear underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye. Attach a tow rope or even better a tow bar to the towing eye. The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye clockwise. Insert cap at the top and engage downwards.

218 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 a de-icing agent, have the locks regreased by a workshop.

Washing The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to environmental influences, therefore wash your vehicle regularly. When using automatic vehicle washes, prefer one with textile brushes and select a programme without wax additives. When doing hand wash, use clear water and a soft brush, cleaning in grain direction of the textile hood. Never use a a steam-jet or high- pressure jet cleaner for the soft top and the engine compartment.

Wax painted parts of the vehicle regulary. Bird droppings, dead insects, resin, pollen and the like should be cleaned off immediately, as they contain aggressive constituents which can cause paint and fabric damage. If using a vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wiper must be switched off. Remove additional antenna and external accessories. 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.

Caution

After washing or cleaning, the soft top must be completely dried before opening. If a wet soft top remains opened for a longer time, it would be damaged by water spotting and mould growth.

When cleaning with a high-pressure jet cleaner ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm to the rear brand emblem to prevent unintended unlocking. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Have the door hinges of all doors greased by a workshop.

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.

Vehicle care 219

Polishing and waxing Wax painted parts of 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. Soft top as well as plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiper blades Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleaner and insect remover. When cleaning the rear window from inside, always wipe in parallel to the heating element to prevent damage.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the scraper firmly against the glass so that no dirt can get under it and scratch the glass. Clean smearing wiper blades with a soft cloth and window cleaner.

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.

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

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.

220 Vehicle care

The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a weak soap solution. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner. Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable stains and discolourations should be cleaned as soon as possible. Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery. The same applies to clothing with sharp-edged objects, like zips or belts or studded jeans.

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

222 Service and maintenance

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

Service interval with remaining engine oil life duration The service interval is based on several parameters depending on usage. The service display lets you know when to change the engine oil. Service display 3 85.

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

aging control, whereas viscosity grade gives information on the oil's thickness over a temperature range. Dexos is the newest engine oil quality that provides optimum protection for gasoline and diesel engines. If it is unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities must be used. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 226.

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 long- term engine damage under certain operating conditions. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 226.

Service and maintenance 223

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

Engine oil viscosity grades The SAE viscosity grade gives information on 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 3 226. All of the recommended viscosity grades are suitable for high ambient temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze Use only organic acid type-long life coolant (LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop. The system is factory filled with coolant designed for excellent corrosion protection and frost

protection down to approx. -28 C. In northern countries with very low temperatures the factory filled coolant provides frost protection down to approx. -37 C. This concentration should be maintained all year round. The use of additional coolant additives that intend to give additional corrosion protection or seal against minor leaks can cause function problems. Liability for consequences resulting from the use of additional coolant additives will be rejected.

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

Vehicle data recording and privacy Event data recorders The vehicle has a number of sophisticated systems that monitor and control several vehicle data. Some data may be stored during regular operation to facilitate repair of detected malfunctions, other data is stored only in a crash or near crash event by modules in your vehicle systems that have an event data recording function such as the airbag control module. The systems may record diagnostic data about the condition of the vehicle (e.g. oil level or vehicle mileage) and information how it was operated (e.g. engine speed, brake application and seat belt usage). To read this data, special equipment and access to the vehicle is required. Some diagnostic data is electronically fed into Vauxhall global systems when the vehicle is serviced in a workshop, in order to document the

service history of the vehicle. This enables the workshop to offer you efficient maintenance and repair, tailored to your individual vehicle, each time you bring it back to the workshop. The manufacturer will not access driver's behaviour related information about a crash event or share it with others except: with the consent of the vehicle

owner or, if the vehicle is leased, of the lessee

in response to an official request of police or similar government office

as part of the manufacturer's defense in case of legal proceedings

as required by law

In addition, the manufacturer may use the collected or received diagnostic data: for the manufacturer's research

needs to make it available for research

needs where appropriate confidentiality is maintained and need is shown

to share summary data which is not tied to a specific vehicle with other organisations for research purposes

Customer information 239

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 in- vehicle 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.
