Keep the area in which the airbag inflates clear of obstructions. The hooks on the handles in the roof frame are only suitable for hanging up light articles of clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these clothes.

Airbag deactivation The front passenger airbag system must be deactivated for child restraint system on the passenger seat according to the instructions in the table 3 68. The side airbag and curtain airbag systems, 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 passenger side of the instrument panel.

Use the ignition key or the key blade, located in the electronic 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

V ON

: front passenger airbag is active

Seats, restraints 65

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only in combination with the use of a child restraint system, subject to the instructions and restrictions in the table 3 68. Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal injury for a person occupying a seat with a 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 the control indicator * illuminates after the ignition is switched on, the front passenger airbag system is deactivated. It stays on while the airbag is deactivated. 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. Consult a workshop immediately if neither of the two control indicators are illuminated. Change status only when the vehicle is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change. Control indicator for airbag deactivation 3 106.

Child restraints Child restraint systems

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, the airbag system for the front passenger seat must be deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child restraint systems as indicated in the tables 3 68.

Airbag deactivation 3 64. Airbag label 3 59. We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information, contact your workshop. 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.

66 Seats, restraints

Always comply with local or national regulations. In some countries, the use of child restraint systems is forbidden on certain seats. Child restraint systems can be fastened with: Three-point seat belt ISOFIX brackets Top-tether anchor

Three-point seat belt Child restraint systems can be fastened by using a three-point seat belt. Depending on the size of the used child restraint systems, up to three child restraint systems can be attached to the rear seats. After fastening the child restraint system, the seat belt has to be tightened 3 68.

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX child restraint systems to the ISOFIX brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX child restraint system positions are marked in the ISOFIX table 3 68. ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a label on the backrest. An i-Size child restraint system is an universal ISOFIX child restraint system according UN Regulation No. 129. All i-Size child restraint systems can be used on any vehicle seat suitable for i-Size, i-Size table 3 68.

Either a Top-tether strap or a support leg must be used in addition to the ISOFIX brackets.

i-Size child seats and vehicle seats with i-Size approval are marked with i-Size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchors Top-tether anchors are marked with the symbol : for a child seat.

Seats, restraints 67

In addition to the ISOFIX mounting brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap to the Top-tether anchors. ISOFIX child restraint systems of universal category positions are marked in the table by IUF 3 68.

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 valid UN ECE regulations. Check local laws and regulations for mandatory use of child restraint systems.

The following child restraints are recommended for the following weight classes: Group 0, Group 0+:

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or without ISOFIX base for children up to 13 kg

Group I: Duo Plus with ISOFIX and Top-tether for children from 9 kg to 18 kg

Group II, Group III: Kidfix XP / Kidfix 2R with or without ISOFIX for children from 15 kg to 36 kg

Group III: Graco Booster for children from 22 kg to 36 kg

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.

Notice 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.

Parking

9 Warning

Do not park the vehicle on an easily ignitable surface. The high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.

Always apply the parking brake. Pull switch m for approx. one second and check if the control indicator m illuminates. The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator m illuminates 3 107.

Switch off the engine.

156 Driving and operating

If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage first gear or set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition key or switching off ignition on vehicles with power button. 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 position P before removing the ignition key or switching off ignition on vehicles with power button. Turn the front wheels towards the kerb.

Close the windows and the sunroof.

Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch or switch off ignition on vehicles with power button. Turn the steering wheel until the steering wheel lock is felt to engage. For vehicles with automatic transmission, the key can only

be removed when the selector lever is in position P.

Lock the vehicle by pressing the button on the door handle or the button e on the remote control.

Activate the anti-theft alarm system.

The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched off 3 224.

Caution

After running at high engine speeds or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx. 30 seconds before switching off, in order to protect the turbocharger.

Notice 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.

In countries with extremely low temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied parking brake. Make sure to park the vehicle on a level surface.

Driving and operating 157

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.

Exhaust filter The exhaust filter is a particle filter for diesel and petrol engines.

Automatic cleaning process The exhaust filter system filters 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.

System requires cleaning Under certain conditions, e.g. driving short distances, the system cannot clean itself automatically. If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not enable automatic cleaning, it will be indicated by a warning message in the Driver Information Centre.

A warning message appears when exhaust filter is full. Start cleaning process as soon as possible. A warning message also appears when exhaust filter has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process immediately to avoid damage to the engine.

Activate self-cleaning process Cleaning process is completed more quickly at high engine speeds and loads. Therefore, drive in lower gears than normal, and use manual gear selection on vehicles with automatic transmission. Usage of electrical consumers like air conditioning and heated windows to increase engine load supports cleaning process.

Caution

If possible, do not interrupt cleaning process. Drive until cleaning is completed to avoid the need for service or repair by a workshop.

158 Driving and operating

Vehicles with petrol engine To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2500 rpm. Shift down if necessary. Drive dynamically at different engine speeds. Use engine brake for deceleration, if possible. Keep on driving until self-cleaning operation is complete and the display message disappears. Vehicles with diesel engine To activate cleaning process, continue driving, keep engine speed above 2000 rpm, ideally and continuously around 2500 rpm. Shift down if necessary. Keep on driving until self-cleaning operation is complete and the display message disappears.

Cleaning process not possible If cleaning is not possible for any reason, control indicator Z illuminates and a warning message appears in the Driver Information Centre. Engine power may be reduced. Seek the assistance of a workshop immediately.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 214, 3 276 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.

AdBlue General information The selective catalytic reduction (BlueInjection) is a method to substantially reduce the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission. This is achieved by injecting a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system. The ammonia released by the fluid reacts with nitrous gases (NOx) from the exhaust and turns it into nitrogen and water. The designation of this fluid is AdBlue. It is a non-toxic, non- flammable, colourless and odourless fluid which consists of 32% urea and 68% water.

Driving and operating 159

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skin with AdBlue. In case of eye or skin contact, rinse off with water.

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue. In case of contact, rinse off with water.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature of approx. -11 C. As the vehicle is equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater, the emissions reduction at low temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue pre-heater works automatically. Notice Frozen and again liquefied AdBlue is usable without quality loss.

The typical AdBlue consumption is approx. 2 l per 600 miles, but can also be higher depending on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or towing).

AdBlue tank The AdBlue tank level can be found in the display menu.

Level warnings Depending on the calculated range of AdBlue, different messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The messages and the restrictions are a legal requirement. The first possible warning is AdBlue Range: 1500 miles. This warning will show up once briefly with the calculated range. Driving is possible without any restrictions. The next warning level is entered with a range below 1090 miles. The message with the current range will always be displayed when ignition is switched on and needs to be confirmed 3 111. Refill AdBlue before entering the next warning level.

At an AdBlue range below 560 miles, the following warning messages are alternately displayed and cannot be dismissed: AdBlue Low Refill Now Engine Restart Prevented in

560 miles. Additionally, control indicator Y flashes continuously. Notice In case of high AdBlue consumption, the Driver Information Centre may display this warning without the previous warning stages.

The last warning level is entered when the AdBlue tank is empty. Restart of the engine is not possible. The following warning messages are alternately displayed and cannot be dismissed: AdBlue Empty Refill Now Engine Will Not Restart.

Additionally, control indicator Y flashes continuously. With active prevention of an engine start, the following message will be displayed:

160 Driving and operating

Refill AdBlue To Start Vehicle. The tank must be refilled completely with AdBlue, otherwise restarting of the engine is not possible 3 280.

High emission warnings If the exhaust emission rises above a certain value, warnings similar to the range warnings will be displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Requests to have the exhaust system checked and finally the announcement of the prevention of an engine restart are displayed. These restrictions are a legal requirement. Consult a workshop for assistance.

Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complies with European standards DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Do not use additives.

Do not dilute AdBlue. Otherwise the selective catalytic reduction system could be damaged.

Notice Whenever a filling pump with a nozzle for passenger cars is not available at a filling station, use only AdBlue bottles or canisters with a sealed refill adapter for refilling, to prevent splashback and overspill, and in order to ensure that the fumes from the tank are captured and do not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or canisters is available in many filling stations and can be purchased e.g. at Vauxhall dealers and other retail outlets. Since AdBlue has a limited durability, check the date of expiry before refilling. Notice When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes may emerge. Do not inhale as the fumes have a pungent smell. The fumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The AdBlue tank should be filled completely. This must be done if the warning message regarding prevention of an engine restart is already displayed. The vehicle must be parked on a level surface. The filler neck for AdBlue is located behind the fuel filler flap, which is located at right rear side of the vehicle. The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked. 1. Remove key from ignition switch. 2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of the vehicle.

3. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap 3 216.

Driving and operating 161

4. Unscrew protective cap from the filler neck.

5. Open AdBlue canister. 6. Mount one end of the hose on the

canister and screw the other end on the filler neck.

7. Lift the canister until it is empty, or until the flow from the canister has stopped. This can take up to five minutes.

8. Place the canister on the ground to empty the hose, wait 15 seconds.

9. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck.

10. Mount the protective cap and turn clockwise until it engages.

Notice Dispose of AdBlue canister according to environmental requirements. To reuse the hose flush it with clear water after usage.

Automatic transmission The automatic transmission permits automatic gear shifting (automatic mode) or manual gear shifting (manual mode). Manual shifting is possible in manual mode by tapping the selector lever to + or - or pulling the steering wheel paddles.

Transmission display

Illustrations show different versions.

162 Driving and operating

The mode or selected gear is shown in the Driver Information Centre. In automatic mode, the driving programme is indicated by D. In manual mode, M and the number of the selected gear is indicated. R indicates reverse gear. N indicates neutral position. P indicates park position.

Upon completion of manual shifting operation, transmission changes to automatic mode D after a defined time. To interrupt manual mode and return to D, do one of the following: Press + paddle for 1 second. Move selector lever towards the

left to manual mode and back to position D.

If the vehicle is at a standstill and engine is idling, the transmission will remain in temporary manual mode. It changes to automatic mode when accelerator pedal is operated for a defined time, and no paddle shifting at the steering wheel is performed.

General 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 Information Centre. In manual mode, no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high engine revolutions, except activating the kickdown function.

Gear shift indication The symbol R or S with a number beside it is indicated when gear shifting is recommended for fuel saving reasons. Shift indication appears only in manual mode.

Electronic driving programmes When sport mode is engaged,

the vehicle shifts at higher engine speeds (unless cruise control is on). Sport mode 3 173.

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

Shifting is disabled during a certain lateral acceleration, indicated by % in the transmission display.

In snowy or icy conditions or on other slippery surfaces, the electronic transmission control enables the driver to manually select first, second or third gear for starting off.

Kickdown Pressing down the accelerator pedal beyond the kickdown detent will lead to maximum acceleration independent of the selected driving mode. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on engine speed and shifts to a higher gear at high engine revolutions.

Overheat protection In the event of transmission- overheating due to high outside temperatures or sporty driving style, the torque and the maximum speed of the engine can be temporarily reduced.

Driving and operating 165

Fault In the event of a fault a vehicle message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 121. 6-gear automatic transmission: electronic transmission control enables only fourth gear; 8-gear automatic transmission: electronic transmission control enables only third gear. The transmission no longer shifts automatically. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.

Drive systems All-wheel drive The all-wheel drive system enhances driving characteristics and stability, and helps to achieve the best possible driveability regardless of ground surface. The torque is distributed steplessly between the wheels of the front and rear axle up to a torque split of 50% to 50%. Depending on the driving conditions, i.e. steady state driving, all-wheel drive system transfers a minimum amount of torque for fuel efficiency. Additionally the torque vectoring between the rear wheels is distributed depending on the vehicle dynamic and surface. This is possible because the all-wheel drive system operates with two clutches, one on each side. For optimum system performance, the vehicle's tyres should not have varying degrees of wear. Depending on engine, all-wheel drive is switchable.

Driving and operating 167

Activation is indicated by the LED in the button. LED flashes if switching is not possible at the moment. If a service message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre, the system may have limited functionality (or be completely disabled in some cases, i.e. the vehicle switches to front-wheel drive). Seek the assistance of a workshop. Towing the vehicle 3 261.

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 the 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 3 107. Active emergency braking 3 190.

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 3 107.

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

168 Driving and operating

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

9 Warning

Before leaving the vehicle, check parking brake status. Control indicator j illuminate constantly when electric parking brake is applied.

Electric parking brake

Manual application Pull the switch m. If control indicator m illuminates, electric parking brake is applied. 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.

Releasing Switch on ignition. Keep foot brake pedal depressed and then push switch m. If control indicator m extinguishes, electric parking brake is released.

Drive away function Vehicles with manual transmission: Depressing the clutch pedal and then slightly releasing the clutch pedal and slightly depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking brake automatically. This is not possible when switch m is pulled at the same time. Vehicles with automatic transmission: Engaging D and then depressing the accelerator pedal releases the electric parking brake automatically. This is not possible when switch m is pulled at the same time.

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.

Driving and operating 169

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

Automatic application Vehicles with automatic transmission If the vehicle is equipped with automatic transmission and adaptive cruise control is active, electric parking brake is applied automatically when vehicle is stopped by the system for more than 2 minutes. Parking brake releases automatically after moving off. Vehicles with manual transmission The electric parking brake will apply automatically if: vehicle is stationary vehicles with power button:

power button is pushed to turn off the engine

vehicles with ignition key: engine is turned off and key is being removed from the ignition switch

Deactivation To suppress the automatic application on vehicles with manual transmission temporarily until the next ignition cycle: 1. with engine running, depress

brake pedal and m switch at the same time

2. release both brake pedal and m switch

3. within 10 seconds: turn off engine and remove key from ignition switch

Functionality check When the vehicle is not moving, the electric parking brake might be applied automatically. This is done to check the system.

Fault Failure mode of electric parking brake is indicated by a control indicator j and by a vehicle message which is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 121.

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 brake pedal is depressed quickly and forcefully, maximum brake force is automatically applied. Operation of brake assist might become apparent by a pulse in the brake pedal and a greater resistance when depressing the brake pedal. Maintain steady pressure on the brake pedal as long as full braking is required. Maximum brake force is automatically reduced when brake pedal is released.

Hill start assist The system helps preventing unintended movement when driving away on inclines. When releasing the brake pedal after stopping on an incline, brakes remain on for further 2 seconds. The brakes release automatically as soon as the

170 Driving and operating

vehicle begins to accelerate. The hill start assist will not activate if one of the following conditions occurs: forward gear is engaged when

facing downhill reverse gear is engaged when

facing uphill driver seat belt is unfastened driver's door is open

Extended hill start assist This function holds the vehicle stationary for up to 5 minutes after the brake pedal is released. The electric parking brake will be automatically activated to prevent vehicle movement when one of the following conditions occurs: extended hill start assist is

deactivated after 5 minutes ignition is switched off driver's exit is detected

Hill start assist or extended hill start assist can be selected in the vehicle personalisation 3 122.

Notice Automatic transmission only: hill start assist and extended hill start assist will not be activated in neutral gear. If neutral gear is selected during an active hold, assists will deactivate and vehicle may start moving.

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

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

Electronic Stability Control Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer / oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually. ESC operates in combination with the Traction Control system (TC). It prevents the drive wheels from spinning. Torque distribution is a special feature that allocates the torque to the drive wheels before the ESC intervenes. When cornering, the wheels on the inner curve are braked individually. Additionally, engine torque will be delivered to the drive wheel on the outer curve. This reduces the tendency of understeering and improves traction when cornering fast.

172 Driving and operating

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

Tour mode Tour mode adjusts the settings of the systems for a comfortable driving style. Damping of shock absorbers is

adapted for increased driving comfort.

Steering efforts are reduced. Adaptive cruise control is

adjusted for a more relaxed driving style.

174 Driving and operating

Auto mode All settings of the systems are preset to standard values optimised for daily driving (default mode). This is the fully adaptive mode, adjusting systems to both comfort and sport settings depending on driving style and driving situation.

Normal mode All settings of the systems are preset to standard values optimised for daily driving (default mode). This mode keeps the standard values independent of driving style or driving situation.

Adaptive drive mode control Within each manually selected driving mode sport, tour or normal, Drive Mode Control (DMC) detects and analyses continuously the driving situation and the driver's driving style. If necessary, DMC automatically adjusts damping and steering for the duration of the occuring situation. If, for example, normal settings are active in Auto mode and DMC detects a sporty driving behaviour, it automatically changes systems into

sporty settings unless the driver deselects sporty damping or steering in the Sport Mode Customisation. If, for another example, comfort settings are active in tour mode and whilst driving on a winding road a sudden hard brake is necessary, DMC will detect the dynamic vehicle condition and changes the settings for suspension back to normal (default) setting to enhance vehicle stability. When the driving characteristic or the dynamic vehicle state returns to the former state, DMC will change to preselected settings.

Settings The settings of drive modes can be changed in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info Display 3 122.

Adaptive cruise control Adaptive cruise control is an enhancement to conventional cruise control with the additional feature of maintaining a certain distance behind the vehicle ahead.

178 Driving and operating

Adaptive cruise control automatically decelerates the vehicle when approaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjusts the vehicle speed to follow the vehicle ahead at the selected following distance. The vehicle speed increases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front, but will not exceed the set speed. It may apply limited braking with activated brake lights. To facilitate overtaking a vehicle on the motorway, the activation of the turn lights reduces the following distance for a short time. This function is implemented only on the respective driver's side depending on left or right hand drive vehicle configuration. The adaptive cruise control can store set speed over 19 mph. On vehicles with automatic transmissions the system can brake until a full stop and drive off from a stop.

Adaptive cruise control uses radar and camera sensors to detect the vehicles ahead. If no vehicle is detected in the driving path, the adaptive cruise control will behave like a conventional cruise control 3 174. For additional information including a video, visit us online. Adaptive cruise control is mainly advised to be used on long straight roads like highways or country roads with steady traffic. Do not use the system if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. Control indicator A 3 111, C 3 110. Additionally, the status of the adaptive cruise control is indicated on the Driver Assistance page in the Driver Information Centre 3 111.

9 Warning

The complete driver attention is always required while driving with adaptive cruise control. The driver stays fully in control of the vehicle because the brake pedal, the

accelerator pedal and the cancel switch have priority over any adaptive cruise control operation.

Switching on the system

Press v to switch on adaptive cruise control. C appears in the Driver Information Centre.

Driving and operating 179

Indication on Driver Assistance page

If the system is switched on but inactive, a white bar in the set gap position appears in front of the vehicle symbol.

Activation of the functionality by setting the speed Adaptive cruise control can be activated at speeds above 15 mph on vehicles with automatic transmission or 19 mph on vehicles with manual transmission. The upper speed limit is 112 mph.

Accelerate to the desired speed and move thumb wheel to SET/-, the current speed is stored and maintained.

The adaptive cruise control symbol C, the following distance setting and set speed are indicated in the Driver Information Centre. The accelerator pedal can be released. Adaptive cruise control remains activated during gear shifting.

Overriding set speed It is always possible to drive faster than the selected set speed by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle returns to the desired distance if a slower vehicle is ahead. Otherwise it returns to the stored speed.

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

9 Warning

Accelerating by the driver deactivates automatic braking by the system. This is indicated as a pop-up warning in the Driver Information Centre or by the adaptive cruise control symbol turning blue.

Indication on Driver Assistance page

180 Driving and operating

As long as the set speed is overridden, the bars in front of the vehicle symbol appear blue.

Increase or reduce speed The preset speed can be changed by moving thumb wheel to RES/+ to increase or SET/- to decrease the speed. Move thumb wheel repeatedly to change speed in small steps, move and hold to change speed in large steps.

Resume stored speed If the system is switched on but inactive and a speed was stored before, turn thumb wheel to RES/+ at a speed above 3 mph (with automatic transmission) or above 19 mph (with manual transmission) to resume the stored speed.

Full speed range adaptive cruise control on vehicles with automatic transmission Full speed range adaptive cruise control will maintain a following distance behind a detected vehicle and slow your vehicle to a stop behind that vehicle. When the vehicle ahead accelerates after a brief stop, the adaptive cruise control will drive off automatically without driver action. If necessary, press RES/+ or the accelerator pedal to resume adaptive cruise control. Pressing the accelerator pedal allows more control over the acceleration after driving off. Note that automatic braking is disabled during usage of the accelerator pedal. If the stopped vehicle ahead was stopped for a longer time and then begins to move forward, the green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A will flash and a warning chime will sound as a reminder to check traffic before proceeding.

9 Warning

When full speed range adaptive cruise control is deactivated or cancelled, the vehicle will no longer be held at a stop and can start moving. Always be prepared to manually apply the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being held at a stop by the full speed range adaptive cruise control. Always move selector lever to park position P and switch off the ignition before leaving the vehicle.

Setting the following distance When adaptive cruise control detects a slower moving vehicle in the driving path, it will adjust the vehicle speed to maintain the following distance selected by the driver. The following distance can be set to near, medium or far.

Driving and operating 181

Press K, the current setting is shown in the Driver Information Centre. Press K again to change the following distance. The setting is also displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

The selected following distance is indicated by filled distance bars in the adaptive cruise control page. Note that the following distance setting is shared with the sensitivity setting of forward collision alert 3 186. Example: If setting 3 (far) is selected, then the driver is warned sooner before a possible collision, also if adaptive cruise control is inactive or switched off.

9 Warning

The Driver accepts full responsibility to drive with the appropriate following distance based on traffic, weather, visibility and regional regulation. Following distance must be adjusted or the system switched off when required by the prevailing conditions.

Indication on Driver Assistance page

182 Driving and operating

Adaptive cruise control in sport mode

On vehicles with FlexRide driving modes, the driver can slightly increase the adaptive cruise control acceleration when sport mode is selected. This function can be deactivated in the FlexRide visualisation menu 3 173.

Detecting the vehicle ahead

The green illuminated vehicle ahead control indicator A is displayed when the system detects a vehicle in the driving path. The range of the sensors is between 25 and 150 m depending on vehicle speed. Forward collision alert 3 186. If this symbol does not display, or displays briefly, adaptive cruise control will not respond to vehicles ahead.

Indication on Driver Assistance page

If the system is active and a preceding vehicle is detected, the bars in front of the vehicle symbol appear green and indicate set gap position.

Deactivation of the functionality Adaptive cruise control is deactivated by the driver when: y is pressed. Brake pedal is applied. Clutch pedal is depressed for

more than 4 seconds. Selector lever of automatic

transmission is moved to N.

Driving and operating 183

The system is also automatically deactivated when: Vehicle speed accelerates above

120 mph or slows down below 15 mph. Vehicles with automatic transmission slows down to a stop without deactivating within 5 minutes.

The Traction Control system is deactivated or operating.

The Electronic Stability Control is deactivated or operating.

There is no traffic and nothing detected on the road sides for approx. 1 minute. In this case there are no radar echoes and the sensor may report that it is blocked.

The active emergency braking system is applying the brakes.

Driving on steep inclines. The radar sensor is blocked by

an ice or water film. A fault is detected in the radar,

camera, engine or brake system. The brakes need to cool down.

Additionally, the system is automatically deactivated on vehicles with automatic transmission (full speed range adaptive cruise control) when: The incline uphill or downhill is

greater than 20%. The electric parking brake is

applied. The vehicle is being held to a stop

by the system for more than 5 minutes.

The vehicle stops, the driver's seat belt is unbuckled and the driver's door is opened.

When adaptive cruise control is deactivated, the control indicator C changes from green to white and a pop-up message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is maintained.

The stored speed is indicated in brackets in the Driver Information Centre when the system is deactivated but not switched off. The adaptive cruise control symbol C changes from green to white when the system is deactivated but not switched off.

9 Warning

When adaptive cruise control is deactivated, the driver must take over full brake and engine control immediately.

Switching off the system Press v to switch off adaptive cruise control. The control indicator C extinguishes in the Driver Information Centre. The stored speed is deleted. Switching off the ignition also switches off adaptive cruise control and deletes the stored speed.

184 Driving and operating

Driver's attention Use adaptive cruise control

carefully on bends or mountain roads, as it can lose the vehicle ahead and needs time to detect it again.

Do not use the system on slippery roads as it can create rapid changes in tyre traction (wheel spinning), so that you could lose control of the vehicle.

Do not use adaptive cruise control during rain, snow or heavy dirt, as the radar sensor can be covered by a water film, dust, ice or snow. This reduces or suppresses completely the visibility. In case of sensor blockage, clean the sensor cover.

System limits

9 Warning

The system's automatic brake force does not permit hard braking and the braking level may not be sufficient to avoid a collision.

After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle. So if a new vehicle is detected, the system may accelerate instead of braking.

Adaptive cruise control does ignore the oncoming traffic.

Adaptive cruise control does not consider pedestrians and animals for braking and driving off.

Adaptive cruise control considers stopped vehicles only at low speed.

Do not use adaptive cruise control when towing a trailer.

Do not use adaptive cruise control on roads with an incline of more than 10%.

Bends

The adaptive cruise control calculates a predicted path based on the centrifugal force. This predicted path considers the current bend characteristic, but cannot consider a future bend change. The system may lose the current vehicle ahead or consider a vehicle which is not in the actual lane. This can happen when entering or exiting a bend or if the bend gets stronger or weaker. The camera applies a certain correction based on the detectable lane markings. The control indicator A will extinguish, if a vehicle ahead is no longer detected.

Driving and operating 185

If the centrifugal force is too high in a bend, the system slows down the vehicle slightly. This braking level is not designed to avoid spinning-off the bend. The driver is responsible for reducing the selected speed before entering a bend and in general to adapt the speed to the road type and to existing speed limits.

Motorways On motorways, adapt the set speed to the situation and the weather. Always consider that adaptive cruise control has a limited visibility range, a limited braking level and a certain reaction time to verify if a vehicle is on the driving path or not. Furthermore, adaptive cruise control was designed to brake as late as possible to allow changing the lane before the automatic braking. Adaptive cruise control may not be able to brake the vehicle in time to avoid a collision with

a much slower vehicle or after a lane change. This is particularly true while driving fast or if the visibility is reduced due to weather conditions. While entering or exiting a motorway, adaptive cruise control may lose the vehicle ahead and accelerate up to the set speed. For this reason, decrease the set speed before the exit or before the entry.

Vehicle path changes

If another vehicle enters your driving path, adaptive cruise control will first consider the vehicle when it is completely in your path. Be ready to take action and depress the brake pedal, if you need to brake more quickly.

Hill considerations

9 Warning

Do not use adaptive cruise control on steep hill roads.

System performance on hills depends on vehicle speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions and the road gradient. It may not detect a vehicle in your path while driving on hills. Full speed range adaptive control is deactivated automatically, as the vehicle is stopping uphill on an incline greater than 10%. In this condition, be prepared to take control of the vehicle. Note that applying the brake deactivates the system.

186 Driving and operating

Radar unit

The radar unit is mounted behind the radiator grille or below the brand emblem.

9 Warning

The radar unit was aligned carefully during manufacture. Therefore, in the event of a front- end impact, do not use the system. The front bumper may appear to be intact, however the sensor behind can be out of position and react incorrectly. After an

accident, consult a workshop to verify and adjust the radar unit position.

Settings A vehicle message and chime reminds the driver to drive off when the adaptive cruise control holds the vehicle at standstill. This function named Go Notifier can be activated and deactivated in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 122.

Fault If the adaptive cruise control does not work due to temporary conditions (e.g. blockage by ice, overheated brakes or low speed manoeuvres) or if there is a permanent system error, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 121.

Forward collision alert The forward collision alert is part of the forward collision system 3 122. It can help to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes. A vehicle ahead is indicated by the control indicator A. Additionally, the status of the forward collision alert is indicated on the Driver Assistance page in the Driver Information Centre 3 111. If the vehicle is equipped with conventional cruise control, the forward collision alert uses the front camera in the windscreen to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in your path. If the vehicle is equipped with adaptive cruise control, the forward collision alert uses the radar sensor and front camera to detect a vehicle directly ahead, in your path. Forward collision alert with front camera detects vehicles to distances of approx. 60 m and operates automatically at all speeds above walking speed.

Driving and operating 187

Forward collision alert with radar sensor detects vehicles to distances of approx. 150 m and operates automatically at all speeds above walking speed.

Activation A precondition is that forward collision alert in the vehicle personalisation menu is not deactivated 3 122.

Alerting the driver The vehicle ahead control indicator A illuminates green in the instrument cluster when the system has detected a vehicle in the driving path. On vehicles with head-up display, A is projected on the windscreen. The control indicator A changes to yellow when the distance to a preceding moving vehicle gets too small.

Caution

The colour lighting of this control indicator does not correspond to local traffic laws on following

distance. The driver bears full responsibility for maintaining safe following distance according to applicable traffic rules, weather and road conditions etc. at all times.

When the time to a potential collision with a vehicle in front gets too small and a collision is imminent, the collision alert symbol pops-up in the Driver Information Centre and the driver gets notified by a flashing red LED stripe or the pop-up symbol in the head-up display which is projected on the windscreen in the driver's field of view.

Simultaneously a warning chime sounds. Depress the brake pedal and steer the vehicle, if it is required by the situation.

188 Driving and operating

Indication on Driver Assistance page

Deactivation The system can be deactivated in the personalisation menu 3 122. If the forward collision alert was deactivated, alert sensitivity is set to "medium" when ignition is switched on next time. The last selected setting will be stored when the ignition is switched off.

General information

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just a warning system and does not apply the brakes. When approaching a vehicle ahead too rapidly, it may not provide you enough time to avoid a collision. The driver accepts full responsibility for the appropriate following distance based on traffic, weather and visibility conditions. The complete attention of the driver is always required while driving. The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes.

System limitations Forward collision alert is designed to warn on vehicles only, but may react also to other objects.

In the following cases, forward collision alert may not detect a vehicle ahead or sensor performance is limited: driving on winding or hilly roads during nighttime driving weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow the sensor in the windscreen is

blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen damage or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers

Following distance indication The following distance indication displays the distance to a preceding moving vehicle. The front camera in the windscreen and the Radar sensor are used to detect the distance of a vehicle directly ahead in the vehicle's path. It is active at speeds above 25 mph.

190 Driving and operating

When a preceding vehicle is detected ahead, the distance is indicated in seconds, displayed on a page in the Driver Information Centre. On Baselevel display, choose Info Menu ? and choose following distance indication page 3 111.

On Mid- and Uplevel display, select Info menu via steering wheel buttons and press to select following distance indication 3 111. The minimum indicated distance is 0.5 seconds. If there is no vehicle ahead or the vehicle ahead is out of range, two dashes will be displayed: -.- sec.

If Adaptive cruise control is active, this page shows the alert sensitivity setting instead of following distance setting 3 177.

System limitations In the following cases, following distance indication sensor performance is limited: Driving on winding or hilly roads. During nighttime driving.

Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.

The sensor is blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen damage or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers.

Active emergency braking Active emergency braking is part of the forward collision system 3 122. It can help to reduce the damage and injury from crashes with vehicles, pedestrians and obstacles directly ahead, when a collision can no longer be avoided either by manual braking or by steering. Before the active emergency braking applies, the driver is warned by the forward collision alert 3 186 or the front pedestrian protection alert 3 193. The feature uses various inputs (e.g. camera sensor, radar sensor, brake pressure, vehicle speed) to calculate the probability of a frontal collision.

Driving and operating 191

9 Warning

This system is not intended to replace the driver's responsibility for driving the vehicle and looking ahead. Its function is limited to supplemental use only to reduce the vehicle speed before a collision. The system may not react to animals. After a sudden lane change, the system needs a certain time to detect the next preceding vehicle. The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.

Functionality The system includes: brake preparation system emergency automatic braking forward looking brake assist intelligent brake assist front pedestrian protection

system

If equipped only with front camera the active emergency braking operates in forward gear above walking speed up to 50 mph. If equipped with radar sensor, active emergency braking operates in forward gear at all speeds above walking speed. Only front pedestrian protection is active up to 50 mph.

Activation A precondition is that Forward Collision System and Front pedestrian detection are not deactivated in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 122.

Brake preparation system When approaching a vehicle ahead or a pedestrian so quickly that a collision is likely, the brake preparation system slightly pressurises the brakes. This reduces the response time, when a manual or automatic braking is requested.

Emergency automatic braking After activation of brake preparation system and just before the imminent collision, this function automatically applies braking to reduce the impact speed of the collision or prohibit a crash. If active emergency braking is applied, a message appears in the Driver Information Centre and a chime sounds. Depending on the situation, the vehicle may automatically brake moderately or hard. This front automatic braking can only occur if a vehicle ahead is detected, indicated by the vehicle ahead indicator A 3 186. On vehicles with front pedestrian protection, front automatic braking can also occur when a pedestrian ahead is detected. Emergency automatic braking may slow the vehicle to a complete stop to try to avoid a potential crash. If this happens, emergency automatic braking may engage the electric parking brake to hold the vehicle at a

192 Driving and operating

stop. To release press the electric parking brake button or firmly press the accelerator pedal.

9 Warning

Emergency automatic braking is an emergency crash preparation feature and is not designed to avoid crashes. Do not rely on the system to brake the vehicle. Emergency automatic braking will not brake outside of its operating speed range and only responds to detected vehicles and pedestrians.

Forward looking brake assist In addition to the brake preparation system and emergency automatic braking, the forward looking brake assist function makes the brake assist more sensitive. Therefore, pressing the brake pedal less strongly results in immediate hard braking. This function helps the driver brake quicker and harder before the imminent collision.

Intelligent Brake Assist Intelligent brake assist may activate when the brake pedal is applied quickly by providing a boost to braking based on the speed of approach and distance to a vehicle ahead. Intelligent brake assist will automatically disengage only when the brake pedal is released.

9 Warning

Intelligent brake assist may increase vehicle braking in situations when it may not be necessary. You could block the flow of traffic. If this occurs, take your foot off the brake pedal and then apply the brakes as needed.

Deactivation Active emergency braking can be deactivated in the personalisation menu 3 122. Deactivation is comfimed by a message in the Driver Information Centre.

We recommend to deactivate the system or set it to alert only in the following cases: when the vehicle is being towed if a trailer is attached to the

vehicle before using an automatic car

wash with ignition switched on if the windscreen has been

damaged close to the camera if the front bumper has been

damaged

System limitations In some cases, the active emergency braking system may provide an automatic braking in situations that seem to be unnecessary, for instance in parking garages, due to traffic signs or due to vehicles in another lane. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. Firmly apply the accelerator pedal to override the automatic braking if the situation and the surroundings permit.

Driving and operating 193

In the following cases, active emergency braking performance might be limited: driving on winding or hilly roads detecting all vehicles, especially

To avoid malfunction keep the areas of the camera sensor in the windscreen and the radar sensor in the radiator grille always clean from dirt, dust, ice and snow.

Complete attention is always required while driving, and you should be ready to take action and apply the brakes and / or steer the vehicle to avoid crashes.

Fault In case the system requires a service, a message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. If the system does not work as it should do, vehicle messages are displayed in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 121.

Front pedestrian protection Front pedestrian protection may help to avoid or reduce the harm caused by front-end crashes with nearby pedestrians when driving in a forward gear. The system uses the front camera in the windscreen to detect a pedestrian directly ahead, in your path.

Front pedestrian protection can detect and alert to pedestrians in a forward gear at speeds above walking speed up to 50 mph. During nighttime driving, system performance is limited. Front pedestrian protection can be set in vehicle personalisation 3 122.

9 Danger

Front pedestrian braking does not provide an alert or automatically brake the vehicle, unless it detects a pedestrian. The system may not detect pedestrians, including children, when the pedestrian is not directly ahead, not fully visible, or not standing upright.

Front pedestrian protection includes: detecting front pedestrian ahead front pedestrian alert automatic braking

194 Driving and operating

Detecting front pedestrian ahead

A pedestrian ahead is indicated by the control indicator 7 in the instrument cluster. On vehicles with head-up display, 7 is projected on the windscreen.

Front pedestrian alert

When approaching a detected pedestrian too quickly, the collision alert symbol pops up in the Driver Information Centre and the pop-up symbol 7 in the head-up display is projected on the windscreen in the

driver's field of view. A warning chime is provided. Apply the brake pedal as required. Cruise control or Adaptive cruise control may be disengaged when the front pedestrian alert occurs.

Automatic braking If a crash into a pedestrian directly ahead is imminent, and the brakes have not been applied, automatic braking may automatically brake moderately or brake hard. This can help to avoid some very low speed pedestrian crashes or reduce pedestrian injury. If this happens, automatic braking may engage the electric parking brake to hold the vehicle at a stop. Release the parking brake. Pressing the accelerator pedal will also release automatic braking and electric parking brake 3 168. This system includes intelligent brake assist, and the emergency automatic braking system may also respond to pedestrians. Active emergency braking 3 190.

Automatic braking can be disabled in the vehicle personalisation menu 3 122.

General information

9 Warning

The driver must always be ready to take action and apply the brakes and steer to avoid collisions.

9 Warning

Front pedestrian braking may alert or automatically brake the vehicle suddenly in situations where it is unexpected and undesired. It could falsely alert or brake for objects similar in shape or size to pedestrians, including shadows. This is normal operation and the vehicle does not need a service. To override the automatic braking, firmly depress the accelerator pedal, if it is safe to do so.

Front-rear parking assist

9 Warning

The driver bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. Always check the surrounding area when driving backwards or forwards while using parking assist system.

The front-rear parking assist measures the distance between the vehicle and obstacles in front and

behind the vehicle. It informs and warns the driver by giving acoustic signals and display indication. It uses two different acoustic warning signals for the front and rear monitoring areas, each with a different tone frequency.

The system has four ultrasonic parking sensors each in the rear and front bumper.

Activation The system is activated automatically at a speed up to 7 mph.

196 Driving and operating

An illuminated LED in the parking assist button r indicates that the system is ready to operate. If r is switched off within an ignition cycle, the parking assist is deactivated. If vehicle speed has exceeded 15 mph beforehand, parking assist will be reactivated when speed drops below 7 mph. When the system is deactivated, the LED in the button extinguishes and a message pops up in the Driver Information Centre.

Indication The system warns the driver with acoustic signals against potentially hazardous obstacles in front of the vehicle in a distance range up to 80 cm and against potentially hazardous obstacles behind the vehicle in a distance range up to 50 cm while a forward gear is engaged, or up to 1.5 m while reverse gear is engaged. Depending on which side of the vehicle is closer to an obstacle, you will hear acoustic warning signals in the vehicle on the respective side. The interval between the signals becomes shorter as the vehicle gets closer to that obstacle. When the distance is less than approx. 30 cm, the signal is continuous. Additionally, the distance to rear and front obstacles is displayed by changing distance lines in the Driver Information Centre 3 111 or, depending on the version, on the Info Display 3 117.

The distance indication can be inhibited by vehicle messages with a higher priority. After dismissing the message distance indication appears again. Acoustic signal is muted when parking brake is engaged or the selector lever of automatic transmission is in N.

Deactivation The system is deactivated automatically when vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph. Manual deactivation is also possible by pressing the parking assist button r.

Driving and operating 197

When the system is deactivated manually, the LED in the button extinguishes and a message pops up in the Driver Information Centre. After a manual deactivation, the front- rear parking assist is activated again if r is pressed. The complete system can be manually deactivated in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info Display. It remains deactivated during the ignition cycle or until activation in personalisation menu again. Vehicle personalisation 3 122.

Fault In the event of a fault or if the system does not work temporarily, e.g. because of high external noise level or other interference factors, a message pops-up in the Driver Information Centre. Vehicle messages 3 121.

Advanced parking assist

9 Warning

The driver bears full responsibility for accepting the parking slot suggested by the system and the parking manoeuvre. Always check the surrounding area in all directions when using the advanced parking assist.

The advanced parking assist measures a suitable parking slot while passing, calculates the trajectory and automatically steers the vehicle into a parallel or perpendicular parking slot. Instructions are given in the Driver Information Centre 3 111 or, depending on the version, on the Info Display 3 117, supported by acoustic signals. The driver must control acceleration, braking and gear shifting, while steering is done automatically.

GSi models only In vehicles with automatic transmission, the driver must control acceleration and gear shifting, while braking and steering is done automatically.

Advanced parking assist is always combined with front-rear parking assist. Both systems use the same sensors in the front and rear bumper. The system has six ultrasonic parking sensors each in both the rear and front bumper.

Activation of advanced parking assist Advanced parking assist can only be activated when driving forwards.

198 Driving and operating

When searching for a parking slot, the system is ready to operate with a short press of (. The system recognises and memorises 10 m for parallel parking slots or 6 m for perpendicular parking slots in the parking assist mode. The system can only be activated and searches for a parking slot at a speed up to 18 mph. Advanced parking assist may not be activated when driving on very steep inclines.

Functionality Parking slot searching mode, indication in the Driver Information Centre

Select parallel or perpendicular parking slot in Driver Information Centre by long press on (. 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 lights on the driver side.

Indication in the Info Display

Select parallel or perpendicular parking slot by tapping the respective icon on the display. Select parking side by tapping the respective icon on the display.

Driving and operating 199

When a slot is detected, a visual feedback on the Info Display and an acoustic signal is given. If the driver does not stop the vehicle after a parking slot is proposed, the system starts to search for another suitable parking slot. Park guiding mode The parking slot suggestion of the system is accepted when the vehicle is stopped by the driver within ten metres for parallel parking slots or six metres for perpendicular parking slots after the message to stop the car is indicated. The system calculates the optimal path into the parking slot.

A brief vibration in the steering wheel after engaging reverse gear indicates that the steering is controlled by the system. Then the vehicle with manual transmission is steered into the slot automatically by giving the driver detailed instructions for braking, accelerating and gear shifting. With automatic transmission the vehicle is steered into the slot automatically by giving the driver detailed instructions for accelerating and shifting forward or reversing. The driver must keep hands away from the steering wheel. During park guiding mode the manoeuvring speed is limited. Always pay attention to the signals of the front-rear parking assist. Continuous signal indicates that the distance to an obstacle is less than approx. 30 cm. If, for any reason, the driver must take over control of the steering, hold the steering wheel only at the outer edge. Automatic steering is cancelled in this event.

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.

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.

Driving and operating 201

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.

Notice It is possible that the sensor detects a non-existing object caused by echo disturbance from external acoustic noise or mechanical misalignments (sporadic false warnings may occur). Make sure that the front number plate is properly mounted (not bent and no gaps to the bumper on the left or right side) and the sensors are firmly in place.

Advanced parking assist system may not respond to changes in the available parking space after initiating a parking manoeuvre. The system may recognize an entry, a gateway, a courtyard or even a crossing as a parking slot. After selecting reverse gear the system will start a parking manoeuvre. Take care regarding the availability of the suggested parking slot. Low curbs and surface irregularities, e.g. on construction zones, are not detected by the system. The driver accepts responsibility. Notice New vehicles require a calibration during first use. For optimal parking guidance, a driving distance of at least 6 miles, including a number of bends, is required. System is calibrated to factory-fitted wheels. Parking performance is altered with other tyre or wheels sizes.

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 displays a visual alert in each exterior mirror, when detecting objects that may not be visible in the interior and exterior mirrors. The radar distance sensors used for blind spot monitoring are located in the rear bumper.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does not replace driver vision. The system may not detect:

vehicles outside the side blind spots which may be rapidly approaching

pedestrians, cyclists or animals

202 Driving and operating

When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly illuminate to indicate that the system is operating. When the system detects a moving vehicle in the side blind spot while driving forwards, either while passing a vehicle or being passed, a yellow warning symbol F will illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn lights, the warning symbol F starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes. Side blind spot alert is active while vehicle is stopped or driving forwards.

Deactivation Activation or deactivation of the lane change alert including side blind spot alert can be set in the vehicle personalisation menu in the Info Display. Vehicle personalisation 3 122. Info Display 3 117. Deactivation is indicated by a message in the Driver Information Centre.

System limitations Occasional missed alerts can occur under normal circumstances or in sharp curves. The system can temporarily alert of objects in the blind spot at specific weather conditions (rain, hail etc). Driving on a wet road or in the transitions from a dry area to a wet area can cause the control indicator F to light up, as water splash can be interpreted as an object. Otherwise the control indicator F may illuminate due to guardrails, signs, trees, shrubs or other immobile

objects. This is normal operation and the system does not need to be serviced. The system may not operate properly when: Ice, snow, mud, stickers,

magnets, metal plates, or anything else covers the sensors.

Driving in heavy rainstorms. The vehicle had an accident or if

the area surrounding the detection sensor is damaged or not properly repaired.

The vehicle is towing a trailer 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.

Lane change alert Additional to the side blind spot alert 3 201, lane change alert recognises rapidly approaching vehicles from behind on parallel lanes next to your vehicle.

Driving and operating 203

The system alerts visually in each exterior mirror when detecting rapidly approaching vehicles from behind. The radar distance sensors used to monitor adjacent lanes behind the vehicle are located in the rear bumper.

9 Warning

Lane change alert does not replace driver vision. Before changing a lane, always check all mirrors, look over the shoulder and use the turn light.

When the system detects an approaching vehicle from behind which drives considerably faster, the yellow warning symbol F will illuminate in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver then activates the turn lights, the warning symbol F starts flashing yellow as a warning not to change lanes. Lane change alert is active at all speeds while the vehicle is driving forwards.

When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating.

Detection zones

The system sensors cover a zone of approx. 3.5 m parallel on both vehicle sides and approx. 3 m rearwards on side blind zone alert (A) and approx. 70 m rearwards on lane change alert (B) on parallel lanes. The zones start at each exterior mirror. The height of the zone is approx. between 0.5 m and 2 m off the ground.

Traffic sign assistant Functionality Traffic sign assistant detects designated traffic signs via a front camera and displays them in the Driver Information Centre. If the vehicle is equipped with an embedded navigation system, traffic signs from data maps may be included additionally.

208 Driving and operating

Traffic signs, which will be detected, are: Limit and no passing signs speed limit no passing end of speed limit end of no passing

Road signs Beginning and end of: city regions (country-specific) motorways A-roads play streets

Add on signs additional hints to traffic signs restriction of trailer towing tractor constraints wet warning ice warning time constraints distance constraints direction arrows

Speed limit signs and no passing signs are displayed in the Driver Information Centre until the next speed limit sign or end of speed limit is detected or up to a defined sign timeout.

Indication of multiple signs on the display is possible.

An exclamation mark in a frame indicates that there is an additional sign detected which cannot be clearly identified by the system.

The system operates without loss of performance up to a speed of 125 mph depending on the lighting conditions. At night the system is active up to a speed of 100 mph.

Display indication Information about the currently valid traffic signs is available on the designated traffic sign assistant page in the Driver Information Centre.

Additionally, the currently valid speed limit is displayed permanently in the lower line of the Driver Information Centre. In case a speed limit with add on sign is available, a + symbol is displayed in this area.

Driving and operating 209

Choose Info, " or ? Menu via right steering wheel buttons and select traffic sign assistant page 3 111. When another page on the Driver Information Centre menu was selected and then traffic sign assistant page is chosen again, the last recognised traffic sign will be displayed.

Alert function The alert function can be activated or deactivated in the setting menu of the traffic sign assistant page.

Once activated and when the traffic sign detection page is currently not displayed, newly detected speed limit and no passing signs are displayed as pop-up alerts in the Driver Information Centre.

On Baselevel Display, when traffic sign assistant page is displayed, press on the steering wheel controls.

210 Driving and operating

In some cases, traffic sign assistant is cleared up automatically by the system.

Clearing of traffic signs There are different scenarios that lead to clearing the currently displayed traffic signs. After clearing, the Default Sign or a sign from navigation map data is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

Reasons for signs being cleared: A predefined distance was driven

or time has elapsed (differs for each sign type)

Vehicle drives through a turn If no navigation map data is

available and speed drops below 32 mph (city entry detection)

If navigation map data is available and a city entry / exit was detected due to map data change

Traffic sign detection in conjunction with navigation system If the vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, the currently displayed sign can either originate from optical sign detection or from the map data. If the currently displayed sign originates from map data and the map information changes, a new sign will be displayed. This may lead to detection of a new sign although no sign on the road may have been passed.

Driving and operating 211

System limitations Traffic sign assistant may not operate properly when: Vehicle speed is faster than

125 mph. Driving on winding or hilly roads. During nighttime driving. The area of the windscreen,

where the front camera is located, is not clean or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers.

Weather limits visibility, such as fog, rain, or snow.

The sun is shining directly into the camera lens.

Traffic signs are completely or partially covered or difficult to discern.

Traffic signs are incorrectly mounted or damaged.

Traffic signs do not comply with the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

The navigation map data is outdated.

Caution

The system is intended to help the driver within a defined speed range to discern certain traffic signs. Do not ignore traffic signs which are not displayed by the system. The system does not discern any other than the conventional traffic signs that might give or end a speed limit. Do not let this special feature tempt you into taking risks when driving. Always adapt speed to the road conditions. The driver assistance systems do not relieve the driver from full responsibility for vehicle operation.

Lane keep assist Lane keep assist helps to avoid unintentional lane departures. The front camera observes the lane markings between which the vehicle is driving. If the vehicle approaches

the lane marking unintentionally, the steering wheel is gently turned to position the vehicle back into the lane. Turn steering wheel in same direction, if system steering is not sufficient. Turn steering wheel gently into opposite direction, if lane change is intended. When crossing a lane marking significantly, lane keep assist starts a visual and acoustic warning. Unintentional lane departure is assumed without using turn lights using the turn lights in the

opposite direction of the lane departure

without braking without acceleration without active steering. Notice The system might be inactive when the detected lane markings are ambiguous or insufficient, e.g. in construction areas.

212 Driving and operating

Notice The system might be inactive if it detects lanes which are too narrow, too wide or too curved.

Switching on the system

The lane keep assist is switched on by engine start or by pressing a. The LED in the button illuminates to indicate that the system is switched on.

When the control indicator a in the instrument cluster or in the head-up display illuminates green, the system is active and ready to assist. A white a indicates an inactive system. The system is operational at vehicle speeds between 37 mph and 112 mph and if lane markings are available. The system gently turns the steering wheel and the control indicator a changes to yellow, if the vehicle approaches a detected lane marking without using the turn lights in that direction. The system alerts by flashing a together with three chimes, from the respective direction, if the lane is departed significantly. The system is only operable when a lane marking is detected. If the system only detects lane markings on one side of the road, it will only assist for this side. If the system performs a correction that lasts longer than 10 seconds, a message pops-up in the Driver

Information Centre and a warning chime sounds until the end of correction. Lane keep assist detects absence of active steering by the driver. Depending on the duration of absence and the number of corrections by the system a message pops-up in the Driver Information Centre and a warning chime sounds. The system is deactivated for 3 minutes when the system perfomed three corrections without detected active steering by the driver, accompanied by a long acoustic warning.

Driving and operating 213

Indication on Driver Assistance page

Detected lane marking appears as a green dashed line, as shown on the left side of the vehicle. This dashed line becomes yellow if the system intervenes by steering. If a lane marking is not detected, it appears as a line of hollow dashes, as shown on the right side of the vehicle.

Switching off the system Press a, the LED in the button and control indicator a extinguish.

System limitations The system performance may not operate properly when: vehicle speed is out of range from

37 to 112 mph driving on winding or hilly roads during nighttime driving weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow the sensor in the windscreen is

blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt, windscreen damage or affected by foreign items, e.g. stickers

the sun is shining directly into the camera lens

close vehicles ahead banked roads road edges roads with poor lane markings sudden lighting changes vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres

Switch off the system if the system is disturbed by tar marks, shadows, road cracks, temporary or construction lane markings, or other road imperfections.

9 Warning

Always keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position within the lane, otherwise vehicle damage, injury or death could occur. Lane keep assist does not continuously steer the vehicle. The system may not keep the vehicle in the lane or give an alert, even if a lane marking is detected. The steering of the lane keep assist may not be sufficient to avoid a lane departure. The driver has full responsibility to control the vehicle and is always required to keep the hands on the steering wheel while driving.

214 Driving and operating

Using the system while towing a trailer or on slippery roads could cause loss of control of the vehicle and a crash. Switch the system off.

Fuel Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies with European standard EN 228 or equivalent. The engine is capable of running with fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol (e.g. named E10). Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. A lower 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 equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octane rating than the lowest possible rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirements regarding octane rating are given in the engine data overview 3 276. A country-specific label at the fuel filler flap can supersede the requirement.

Driving and operating 215

Fuel additive Fuel should contain detergent additives that help prevent engine and fuel system deposits from forming. Clean fuel injectors and intake valves will allow the emission control system to work properly. In certain countries fuel does not contain sufficient quantities of additive to keep fuel injectors and intake valves clean. In these countries a fuel additive is required for some engines to make up for this lack of detergency. Only use fuel additive approved for the vehicle. Adding fuel additive to the filled fuel tank is required at least every 10,000 miles or after one year, whichever occurs first. For further information, contact your workshop.

Prohibited fuels Fuels containing oxygenates such as ethers and ethanol, as well as reformulated fuel, are available in some cities. If these fuels comply with the previously described specification, then they are acceptable to use. However, E85

(85% ethanol) and other fuels containing more than 15% ethanol must be used only in FlexFuel vehicles.

Caution

Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can corrode metal parts in the fuel system and also damage plastic and rubber parts. This damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty.

Some fuels, mainly high octane racing fuels, can contain an octane enhancing additive called methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use fuels or fuel additives with MMT as they can reduce spark plug life and affect emission control system performance. The malfunction indicator light Z may illuminate 3 106. If this occurs, seek the assistance of a workshop.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies with EN 590 and which has a sulphur concentration of max. 10 ppm. Fuels with a biodiesel (compliant with EN 14214) content of max. 7% by volume may be used (e.g. named B7). If travelling in countries outside the European Union occasional use of Euro-Diesel fuel with a sulphur concentration below 50 ppm is possible.

Caution

Frequent usage of diesel fuel containing more than 15 ppm sulphur will cause severe engine damage.

216 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.

Low temperature operation At temperatures below 0 C, some diesel products with biodiesel blends may clog, freeze or gel, which may affect the fuel supply system. Starting and engine operation may not work properly. Make sure to fill winter grade diesel fuel at ambient temperatures below 0 C. Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used at extremely low temperatures below -20 C. Using this fuel grade in warm or hot climates is not recommended

and may cause engine stalling, poor starting or damage on the fuel injection system.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off ignition and any external heaters with combustion chambers. 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.

A label with symbols at the fuel filler flap is indicating the allowed fuel types. In Europe the pump nozzles of the filling stations are marked with these symbols. Refuel only the allowed fuel type.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do not switch on ignition.

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

Driving and operating 217

The fuel filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

Petrol and Diesel refuelling

Place the nozzle in straight position to the filler neck and press with slight force to insert. To refuel, switch on pump nozzle. After the automatic cut-off, the tank can be topped up by operating the pump nozzle a maximum of two more times.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel immediately.

Close the flap and allow it to engage.

Misfuel inhibitor

9 Warning

Do not try to open the flap of the fuel filler neck manually on vehicles with misfuel inhibitor. Disregarding this could lead to trapping of the fingers.

The misfuel inhibitor ensures that the flap of the fuel filler neck can only be opened by using the suitable fuel nozzle or a funnel for emergency refilling. In case of an emergency, refill with a canister. A funnel must be used to open the cap of the filler neck.

218 Driving and operating

The funnel may be stowed in the load compartment or the glovebox. Place the funnel in straight position to the filler neck and press with slight force to insert. After topping-up, clean funnel from fuel remains and stow it away.

Trailer hitch General information The factory-fitted towing equipment is folded up under the rear bumper fascia. 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. To avoid vehicle damage, the power tailgate cannot be operated with the radio remote control when a trailer is electrically connected. The bulb outage detection function for trailer brake light cannot detect a partial bulb outage. E.g. in case of four bulbs with a power of 5 W each, the function only detects light outage when only a single 5 W bulb 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.

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. During trailer towing do not exceed a speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed of 60 mph is only appropriate if an oscillation damper is used and the permissible gross trailer weight does not exceed the vehicle's kerb weight. For trailers with low driving stability and caravan trailers, the use of an oscillation damper is strongly recommended. 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 3 282.

Driving and operating 219

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 12%. The permissible trailer load applies up to the specified incline and at 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 m of 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 3 271.

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 of: 60 kg (Grand Sport with all

engines except B20DTH / B20NFT / D20DTR)

75 kg (Sports Tourer with all engines except B20DTH / B20NFT / D20DTR)

90 kg (All bodystyles with engines B20DTH / B20NFT / D20DTR)

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 80 kg (engines B20NFT / B20DTH / D20DTR: 90 kg), the gross vehicle weight rating must not be exceeded. If the permissible rear axle load is exceeded, a maximum speed of 60 mph applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

The folding coupling ball bar cannot be removed from the vehicle. When driving without a trailer, fold in the coupling ball bar.

220 Driving and operating

9 Warning

Make sure that no one is in the pivot zone of the coupling ball bar. Risk of body injury. When releasing the stowed coupling ball bar, make sure to stand left of the grip.

Release stowed coupling ball bar

Pull the grip located left to the number plate under the rear bumper fascia at an angle of approx. 45 to the ground.

A buzzing tone sounds as a warning when the release handle is pulled out and the ball neck is disengaged. Take the released coupling ball bar and raise it up until it engages. Ensure the coupling ball bar is correctly engaged and the released handle is guided back to its hidden initial position, otherwise the buzzing tone will not stop.

Stow / hide coupling ball bar

Pull the grip located left of the number plate under the rear bumper fascia at an angle of approx. 45 to the ground.

Driving and operating 221

A buzzing tone sounds as a warning when the release handle is pulled out and the ball neck is disengaged.

With the flat of the hand, swivel the released coupling ball bar to the right until it engages under the floor. Make sure that the release handle is back in its hidden initial position, otherwise the buzzing tone will not stop.

9 Warning

Towing a trailer is permitted only when the coupling ball bar is fitted correctly. If the coupling ball bar does not engage correctly or if the

release handle is impossible to guide to its hidden initial position in the housing or if the buzzing tone sounds after engaging the coupling ball bar, seek the assistance of a workshop.

Eye for break-away stopping cable Attach break-away stopping cable to eye.

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 the system is working keep steering wheel as still as possible. Trailer stability assistant is a function of the Electronic Stability Control 3 171.

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. In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view. All tyre sizes are permitted as winter tyres 3 282.

GSi with Michelin Pilot Super Sport or Pilot Sport 4 S tyres This model is factory-fitted with high performance sports tyres, which have a reduced performance at low temperature.

9 Danger

Use winter tyres at temperatures below 0 C, otherwise damage of the high performance sports tyres is possible.

Tyre designations E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 V 215 : tyre width, mm 60 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), % R : belt type: Radial RF : type: RunFlat 16 : wheel diameter, inches 95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 kg V : speed code letter

Speed code letter: Q : up to 100 mph S : up to 112 mph

246 Vehicle care

T : up to 118 mph H : up to 130 mph V : up to 150 mph W : up to 168 mph

Choose a tyre appropriate for the maximum speed of this vehicle. Refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with the vehicle or other national registration documents. Optional equipment could reduce the maximum speed of the vehicle.

Directional tyres Directional tyres should be mounted so that they rotate in the correct direction. The proper rotation direction is indicated by a symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

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.

Tyre pressure 3 282. The tyre pressure 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. 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. Make sure tyre loading setting matches the current tyre pressure. Tyre loading 3 247.

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 drive axle and body style. 2. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 276. 3. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 282. For the tyres approved for your vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of Conformity provided with your vehicle or other national registration documents. The driver is responsible for correct adjustment of tyre pressure.

Vehicle care 247

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.

9 Warning

For specific tyres the recommended tyre pressure as shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre. Never exceed the maximum tyre pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Temperature dependency The tyre pressure depends on the temperature of the tyre. During driving, tyre temperature and pressure increase. Tyre pressure values provided on the tyre information label and tyre pressure chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 C.

The pressure increases by nearly 1.5 psi for a 10 C temperature increase. This must be considered when warm tyres are checked. The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Centre shows the real tyre pressure. A cooled down tyre will show a decreased value, which does not indicate an air leak.

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 just 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.

Notice In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle operating permit.

Select the tyre pressure monitoring page in the Driver Information Centre 3 111.

System status and pressure warnings are displayed by a message indicating the corresponding tyre in the Driver Information Centre. The system considers the tyre temperature and the tyre loading setting for the warnings.

248 Vehicle care

Tyre loading setting, see below in this chapter. Temperature dependency 3 246. Baselevel display: If the pressure of a tyre decreases significantly, the respective tyre pressure value is displayed inverted. Uplevel display: Tyre pressure values in normal range are shown in green letters. If the pressure of a tyre decreases significantly, the respective value will turn its colour to yellow.

A detected low tyre pressure condition is indicated by the control indicator w 3 109. If w illuminates, stop as soon as possible and inflate the tyres as recommended 3 282.

Ensure that vehicle loading status matches selected tyre pressure. Vehicle loading status, see below in this chapter. After inflating, some driving may be required to update the tyre pressure values in the Driver Information Centre. During this time w may continue to illuminate. If w illuminates at lower temperatures and extinguishes after some driving, this could be an indicator for approaching a low tyre pressure condition. Check tyre pressure. Vehicle messages 3 121. 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. Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave frequencies 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 the clipped sensor, replace complete valve stem.

Vehicle loading status Adjust tyre pressure to load condition according tyre information label or tyre pressure chart 3 282, and select the appropriate setting in Tyre Load within the vehicle information menu 3 111. This setting determines the reference pressures for the tyre pressure warnings.

Vehicle care 249

The Tyre Load menu only appears when the vehicle is at a standstill and the parking brake is applied. On vehicles with automatic transmission the selector lever must be in P.

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 or wheel positions the vehicle must be stationary for approx. 20 minutes,

before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes of driving in a speed range of 25 to 60 mph. Avoid to drive outside of this range for a longer time. If possible, use a country road or similar which allows continuous driving. During relearn process $ can be displayed or pressure values can swap in the Driver Information Centre. If problems occur during the relearn process, a failure message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre. w will flash for 60 seconds and then illuminate continuously. If this happens, repeat learning process. Keep your vehicle stationary for approx. 20 minutes and then drive again for 10 minutes as described above.

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).

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 remains the same.

250 Vehicle care

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

Changing tyre and wheel size If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced and the tyre pressure monitoring system reinitialised 3 247.

9 Warning

The use of unsuitable tyres or wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle operating permit.

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, do not attach wheel covers.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock).

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre chains are only permitted on tyres of size 215/60 R16, 215/55 R17, 225/55 R17 and 235/45 R18. Temporary spare wheel

Vehicle care 251

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 side wall 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.

Two types of tyre repair kit are available:

Type 1 is indicated by the on/off switch at the top of the compressor.

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

9. 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.

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

11. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. Tyre pressure 3 282. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor.

254 Vehicle care

Do not run the compressor longer than 10 minutes. Type 1: if the 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. Check tyre pressure once more. 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.

Depending on version the button can be located on the air hose. Type 2: remove tyre repair kit and drive immediately up to 6 miles, but not longer than 10 minutes. Check tyre pressure once more. If the tyre pressure is not obtained, 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. If the pressure is obtained, correct to the prescribed tyre pressure by using the compressor to increase or decrease by opening the air

release valve (turn anticlockwise) at the air filler hose.

12. Detach the tyre repair kit. Type 1: push catch on bracket to remove sealant bottle from bracket. Screw tyre inflation hose to the free connection of sealant bottle. This prevents sealant from escaping. Type 2: sealant bottle can not be removed from the compressor. Have the sealant bottle replaced by your workshop.

Rear arm position of the lifting platform centrically under the relevant vehicle jacking point.

Front arm position of the lifting platform centrically under the relevant vehicle jacking point.

Spare wheel The spare wheel can be classified as a temporary spare wheel depending on the size compared to the other mounted wheels and country regulations. In this case a permissible maximum speed applies, even though no label at the spare wheel indicates this.

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.

Caution

The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as possible.

Caution

If driving with a temporary spare wheel, active emergency braking has to deactivated.

Vehicle care 257

The spare wheel is located in the load compartment beneath the floor covering. To remove: 1. Open the floor cover. 2. The spare wheel is secured with a

wing nut. Unscrew the wing nut and take out the spare wheel. Under the spare wheel there is the box with vehicle tools.

3. When, after a wheel change, no wheel is placed in the spare wheel well, secure the tool box by tightening the wing nut as far as it will go and close floor cover.

4. After wheel change back to full size wheel, place the spare wheel outside up in the well and secure with the wing nut.

Only mount one temporary spare wheel. The permissible maximum speed on the label on the temporary spare wheel is only valid for the factory-fitted tyre size.

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

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

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

Remove the spare wheel. Never change more than one

wheel at once.

Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change.

The jack is maintenance-free. If the ground on which the vehicle

is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 1 cm thick) should be placed under the jack.

Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.

No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.

Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.

Do not start the vehicle when it is raised on the jack.

4. Connect the other end of the black lead to a vehicle grounding point of your vehicle in the engine compartment.

Route the leads so that they cannot catch on rotating parts in the engine compartment. To start the engine: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle

providing the jump. 2. After five minutes, start the other

engine. Start attempts should be made for no longer than 15 seconds at an interval of 1 minute.

3. Allow both engines to idle for approx. 3 minutes with the leads connected.

4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start.

5. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.

Towing Towing the vehicle

Wrap a cloth around the tip of a flat screwdriver to prevent paint damage. Insert the screwdriver in the slot at the edge of the cap. Release the cap by levering it out carefully. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 244.

262 Vehicle care

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

Caution

Deactivate the driver assistance systems like active emergency braking 3 190, otherwise the vehicle may automatically brake during towing.

Switch the selector lever to neutral. Release the parking brake.

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. Vehicles with manual transmission and All-wheel drive: If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground then there are no technical

limitations for speed and distance. If only one axle has been raised, the maximum speed is 30 mph. There is no distance limitation. Vehicles with automatic transmission and All-wheel drive: The vehicle must be towed facing forwards. If the vehicle is towed with all four wheels on the ground, the maximum speed is 30 mph and for a maximum of 30 miles. If the front axle has been raised, the maximum speed is 30 mph. There is no distance limitation. Seek the assistance of a workshop. After towing, unscrew the towing eye. Iinsert cap with the outer flange into the recess and fix cap by pushing.

Vehicle care 263

Towing another vehicle

Wrap a cloth around the tip of a flat screwdriver to prevent paint damage. Insert the screwdriver in the slot at the edge of the cap. Release the cap by levering it out carefully. The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 244.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go until it stops in a horizontal position. The lashing eye at the rear underneath the vehicle must never be used as a towing eye. Attach a tow rope or better still a tow rod 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. Insert cap with the upper flange into the recess and fix cap by pushing.

264 Vehicle care

Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease. Use a 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. 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 vehicle wash, comply with the vehicle wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wiper and rear window wiper must be

switched off. Remove antenna and external accessories such as roof racks etc. If you wash your vehicle by hand, make sure that the insides of the wheel housings are also thoroughly rinsed out. Clean edges and folds on opened doors and the bonnet as well as the areas they cover. Clean bright metal mouldings with a cleaning solution approved for aluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with a pH value of four to nine. Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.

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.

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.

Polishing and waxing Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiper blades Switch off wipers before handling in their areas. 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.

Vehicle care 265

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. Remove dirt residues from smearing wiper blades by using a soft cloth and window cleaner. Also make sure to remove any residues such as wax, insect residues and similar from the window. Ice residues, pollution and continuous wiping on dry windows will damage or even destroy the wiper blades.

Sunroof Never clean with solvents or abrasive agents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g. paint cleaner, acetone- containing 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.

Liquid gas system

9 Danger

Liquid gas is heavier than air and can collect in sink points. Take care when performing work at the underbody in a pit.

For painting work and when using a drying booth at a temperature above 60 C, the liquid gas tank must be removed. Do not make any modifications to the liquid gas system.

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

Air shutter Clean the shutter system in the front bumper to maintain correct functionality.

266 Vehicle care

Interior care Interior and upholstery Only clean the vehicle interior, including the instrument panel fascia and panelling, with a dry cloth or interior cleaner. Clean the leather upholstery with clear water and a soft cloth. In case of heavy soiling, use leather care. The instrument cluster and the displays should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a weak soap solution. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove stains with an upholstery cleaner. Clothing fabrics may not be colourfast. This could cause visible discolourations, especially on light- 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.

Floor mats

9 Warning

If a floor mat has the wrong size or is not properly installed, it can interfere with the accelerator pedal and/or brake pedal, what can cause unintended acceleration

and/or increased stopping distance which can cause a crash and injury.

Use the following guidelines for proper floor mat usage. The original equipment floor mats

were designed for your vehicle. If the floor mats need replacing, it is recommended that certified floor mats be purchased. Always check that the floor mats do not interfere with the pedals.

Use the floor mat with the correct side up. Do not turn it over.

Do not place anything on top of the driver side floor mat.

Use only a single floor mat on the driver side.

Do not place one floor mat on top of another.

Inserting and removing the floor mats The driver side floor mat is held in place by two retainers. To install the driver's side floor mat:

Vehicle care 267

1. Move the driver's seat backwards as far as possible.

2. Align slots in the mat with the retainers, as shown.

3. Turn retainers clockwise for a quarter turn.

Removing 1. Move the driver's seat backwards

as far as possible. 2. Turn retainers a quarter turn

towards the opposite direction than during installation.

3. Remove the mat.

Service and maintenance 269

airborne sand and high dust content, driving at high altitude and large variations of temperature. Under these severe operating conditions, certain service work may be required more frequently than the regular service interval. The international service intervals are valid for the countries which are not listed in the European service intervals. Service display 3 104.

Confirmations Confirmation of service is recorded in the Service and Warranty Booklet. The date and mileage is completed with the stamp and signature of the servicing workshop. 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. It is also a benefit when selling the vehicle.

Recommended fluids, lubricants and parts Recommended fluids and lubricants Only use products that meet the recommended specifications.

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.

Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 273.

Topping up engine oil

Caution

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

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 oils for all petrol engines with only ACEA quality is prohibited, since it can cause engine damage under certain operating conditions. Select the appropriate engine oil based on its quality and on the minimum ambient temperature 3 273.

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

270 Service and maintenance

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 3 273. 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 cold regions 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.

Washer fluid Use only washer fluid approved for the vehicle to prevent damage of wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and rubber parts. Consult a workshop.

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

AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust emission 3 158.

Vehicle data recording and privacy Event data recorders Electronic control units are installed in your vehicle. Control units process data which is received by vehicle sensors, for example, or which they generate themselves or exchange amongst themselves. Some control units are necessary for the safe functioning of your vehicle, others assist you while you drive (driver assistance systems), while others provide comfort or infotainment functions. The following contains general information about data processing in the vehicle. You will find additional information as to which specific data is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the references for the affected functional characteristics in the relevant owner's manual or in the general terms of sale. These are also available online.

292 Customer information

Operating data in the vehicle Control units process data for operation of the vehicle. This data includes, e.g.: vehicle status information (e.g.

speed, movement delay, lateral acceleration, wheel rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)

ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor, distance sensor)

As a rule such data is transient, not stored for longer than an operational cycle, and only processed on board the vehicle itself. Control units often include data storage (including the vehicle key). This is used to allow information to be documented temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress, maintenance requirements and technical events and errors.

Depending on technical equipment level, the data stored is as follows: system component operating

states (e.g. fill level, tyre pressure, battery status)

faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights, brakes)

system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering of an airbag, actuation of the stability control systems)

information on events damaging the vehicle

for electric vehicles the amount of charge in the high-voltage battery, estimated range

In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary to save data that would otherwise just be volatile. When you use services (e.g. repairs, maintenance), the operating data saved can be read together with the vehicle identification number and used when necessary. Staff working for the service network (e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.

breakdown services) can read the data from the vehicle. The same applies to warranty work and quality assurance measures. Data is generally read via the OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) port prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out, documents the technical condition of the vehicle or individual components and assists with fault diagnosis, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvement. This data, in particular information on component stress, technical events, operator errors and other faults, is transmitted to the manufacturer where appropriate, together with the vehicle identification number. The manufacturer is also subject to product liability. The manufacturer potentially also uses operating data from vehicles for product recalls. This data can also be used to check customer warranty and guarantee claims. Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service company when carrying out servicing or repairs or at your request.

Customer information 293

Comfort and infotainment functions Comfort settings and custom settings can be stored in the vehicle and changed or reset at any time. Depending on the equipment level in question, these include seat and steering wheel position

settings chassis and air conditioning

settings custom settings such as interior

lighting You can input your own data in the infotainment functions for your vehicle as part of the selected features. Depending on the equipment level in question, these include multimedia data such as music,

videos or photos for playback in an integrated multimedia system

address book data for use with an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system

input destinations data on the use of online services

This data for comfort and infotainment functions can be stored locally in the vehicle or be kept on a device that you have connected to the vehicle (e.g. a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player). Data that you have input yourself can be deleted at any time. This data can only be transmitted out of the vehicle at your request, particularly when using online services in accordance with the settings selected by you.

Smartphone integration, e.g. Android Auto or Apple CarPlay If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you can connect your smartphone or another mobile device to the vehicle so that you can control it via the controls integrated in the vehicle. The smartphone image and sound can be output via the multimedia system in this case. At the same time, specific information is transmitted to your smartphone. Depending on the type of integration,

this includes data such as position data, day / night mode and other general vehicle information. For more information, please see the operating instructions for the vehicle / infotainment system. Integration allows selected smartphone apps to be used, such as navigation or music playback. No further integration is possible between smartphone and vehicle, in particular active access to vehicle data. The nature of further data processing is determined by the provider of the app used. Whether you can define settings, and if so which ones, is dependent on the app in question and your smartphone's operating system.

294 Customer information

Online services If your vehicle has a radio network connection, this allows data to be exchanged between your vehicle and other systems. The radio network connection is made possible by means of a transmitter device in your vehicle or a mobile device provided by you (e.g. a smartphone). Online functions can be used via this radio network connection. These include online services and applications / apps provided to you by the manufacturer or other providers.

Proprietary services In the case of the manufacturer's online services, the relevant functions are described by the manufacturer in an appropriate location (e.g. Owner's Manual, the manufacturer's website) and the associated data protection information is provided. Personal data may be used to provide online services. Data exchange for this purpose takes place via a protected connection, e.g. using the manufacturer's IT systems provided for the purpose. Collection,

processing and use of personal data for the purposes of preparation of services take place solely on the basis of legal permission, e.g. in the case of a legally prescribed emergency communication system or a contractual agreement, or by virtue of consent. You can activate or deactivate the services and functions (which are subject to charges to some extent) and, in some cases, the vehicle's entire radio network connection. This does not include statutory functions and services such as an emergency communication system.

Third party services If you make use of online services from other providers (third parties), these services are subject to the liability and data protection and usage conditions of the provider in question. The manufacturer frequently has no influence over the content exchanged in this regard.

Therefore, please note the nature, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data within the scope of third party services provided by the service provider in question.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) RFID technology is used in some vehicles for functions such as tyre pressure monitoring and immobiliser. It is also used in connection with conveniences such as radio remote controls for door locking / unlocking and starting. RFID technology in Vauxhall vehicles does not use or record personal information or link with any other Vauxhall system containing personal information.
