Driving hintsControl of the vehicleNever coast with engine notrunning (except during Autostop)Many systems will not function in thissituation (e.g. brake servo unit, powersteering). Driving in this manner is adanger to yourself and others. Allsystems function during an Autostop,but there will be a controlled reductionin power steering assist and vehiclespeed is reduced.Stop-start system 3 141.

Idle boostIf charging of the vehicle battery isrequired due to vehicle batterycondition, the power output of thegenerator must be increased. This willbe achieved by an idle boost whichmay be audible.On vehicles with Uplevel-Display orUplevel-Combi-Display, a messageappears in the Driver InformationCentre.

Driving and operating 139

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

SteeringIf power steering assist is lostbecause the engine stops or due to asystem malfunction, the vehicle canbe steered but may require a higheror lower steering effort.Control indicator c 3 96.

Caution

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

Starting and operatingNew vehicle running-inDo not brake unnecessarily hard forthe first few journeys.During the first drive, smoke mayoccur because of wax and oilevaporating off the exhaust system.Park the vehicle in the open for awhile after the first drive and avoidinhaling the fumes.During the running-in period fuel andengine oil consumption may behigher and the cleaning process ofthe diesel particle filter may takeplace more often. Autostop may beinhibited to allow for charging thevehicle battery.Diesel particle filter 3 144.

Retained power offThe following electronic systems canwork until the driver's door is openedor at the latest for 10 minutes after theignition is switched off:● power windows● power outlets


Power to the Infotainment system willcontinue to operate for 30 minutes oruntil the key is removed from theignition, regardless of whether anydoor is opened.

Starting the engine

Manual transmission: operate clutch.Automatic transmission: operatebrake and move the selector lever toP or N.Do not operate accelerator pedal.Diesel engine: turn the key to position2 for preheating until controlindicator ! extinguishes.

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

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °Cfor petrol engines. Required is anengine oil with the correct viscosity,the correct fuel, performed servicesand a sufficiently charged vehiclebattery. With temperatures below-30 °C the automatic transmissionneeds a warming phase of approx.five minutes. The selector lever mustbe in position P.

Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot have to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● clutch pedal not operated

(manual transmission)● brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N(automatic transmission)

● timeout occurred

Turbo engine warm-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.


Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut offduring overrun, i.e. when the vehicleis driven with a gear engaged butaccelerator is released.

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

● The climate control systemallows an Autostop.

● The brake vacuum is sufficient.

● The self-cleaning function of thediesel particle filter is not active.

● The vehicle was driven at least atwalking speed since the lastAutostop.

Otherwise an Autostop will beinhibited.An Autostop may become lessavailable as the ambient temperatureapproaches the freezing point.Certain settings of the climate controlsystem may inhibit an Autostop. See"Climate control" chapter for furtherinformation 3 131.Immediately after motorway drivingan Autostop may be inhibited.New vehicle running-in 3 139.

Vehicle battery discharge protectionTo ensure reliable engine restarts,several vehicle battery dischargeprotection features are implementedas part of the stop-start system.

Power saving measuresDuring an Autostop, several electricalfeatures such as auxiliary electricheater or rear window heating are

disabled or switched into a powersaving mode. The fan speed of theclimate control system is reduced tosave power.

Restart of the engine by the driverDepress the clutch pedal to restart theengine.The engine start is indicated by theneedle at the idle speed position inthe tachometer.If the selector lever is shifted out ofneutral before depressing the clutchfirst, control indicator - illuminatesor is shown as a symbol in the DriverInformation Centre.Control indicator - 3 95.

Restart of the engine by the stop-start systemThe selector lever must be in neutralto enable an automatic restart.If one of the following conditionsoccurs during an Autostop, theengine will be restarted automaticallyby the stop-start system.


● The stop-start system ismanually deactivated.

● The bonnet is opened.● The driver's seat belt is

unfastened and the driver's dooris opened.

Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft alarm system.NoticeIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isturned off automatically if the vehiclecomes to a standstill within a certaintime.


Engine exhaust

9 Danger

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

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification. The filter is cleanedby periodically burning off the sootparticles at high temperature. Thisprocess takes place automaticallyunder set driving conditions and maytake up to 25 minutes. Typically it

needs between 7 and 12 minutes.Autostop is not available and fuelconsumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process isnormal.

Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If the cleaning of the filter is requiredand if previous driving conditions didnot enable automatic cleaning, it willbe indicated by control indicator %.Simultaneously Diesel partic. filter isfull continue driving or warningcode 55 appears in the DriverInformation Centre.

% illuminates when diesel particlefilter is full. Start cleaning process assoon as possible.% flashes when diesel particle filterhas reached the maximum fillinglevel. Start cleaning processimmediately to avoid damage to theengine.

Cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keeping enginespeed above 2000 revolutions perminute. Shift down if necessary.Diesel particle filter cleaning is thenstarted.If control indicator g illuminatesadditionally, cleaning is not possible,seek the assistance of a workshop.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted, there is a risk ofprovoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.


Control indicator % extinguishes assoon as the self-cleaning operation iscomplete.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 159, 3 227 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, driving

can be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.

Caution

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


BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing the journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 95.

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

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting off, the system performsa self-test which may be audible.Control indicator u 3 96.

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


Fault

9 Warning

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

FuelFuel for petrol enginesOnly use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orE DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. The engine specificrequirements are given in the enginedata overview 3 227. A countryspecific label at the fuel filler flap cansupersede the requirement.

Caution

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

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 orequivalent can lead to deposits orengine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with too low an octanerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

Fuel for diesel enginesOnly use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590.In countries outside the EuropeanUnion use Euro-Diesel fuel with asulfur concentration below 50 ppm.

Caution

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

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

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

Caution

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


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

Fuel selector

Pressing LPG switches betweenpetrol and liquid gas operation assoon as the required parameters(coolant temperature, gastemperature and minimum enginespeed) have been reached. Therequirements are usually fulfilled afteraround 60 seconds (depending onexterior temperature) and the first firm

press on the accelerator. The LED1 status shows the current operatingmode.1 off : petrol operation1 flashes : checking conditions

for fuel transition toliquid gas operation.Illuminates ifconditions are fulfilled.

: liquid gas tank isempty or failure inliquid gas system. Amessage is displayedin the DriverInformation Centre.

If the fuel tank is empty, the enginewill not start.The selected fuel mode is stored andreactivated at the next ignition cycle ifconditions allow.As soon as the liquid gas tanks areempty, petrol operation isautomatically engaged until theignition is switched off.

When switching automaticallybetween petrol or gas operation, abrief delay of engine tractive powermay be noticeable.Every six months, run the petrol tankdown until control indicator iilluminates, then refuel. This helpsmaintain fuel quality and systemfunction for petrol operation.Fill the tank completely at regularintervals to prevent corrosion in thetank.

Faults and remediesIf gas mode is not possible, check thefollowing:● Is there enough liquid gas

present?● Is there enough petrol present for

starting?Due to extreme temperatures incombination with the gascomposition, it may take slightlylonger before the system switchesfrom petrol to liquid gas mode.


In extreme situations, the system mayalso switch back to petrol mode if theminimum requirements are notfulfilled. If conditions allow, it might bepossible to manually switch back toliquid gas operation.Seek the assistance of a workshop inthe event of all other faults.

Caution

Repairs and adjustments may onlybe made by trained specialists inorder to maintain the safety andwarranty on the LPG system.

Liquid gas is given a particular odour(odorised) so that any leaks can bedetected easily.

9 Warning

If you smell gas in the vehicle or inthe immediate vicinity, switch topetrol mode immediately. Nosmoking. No naked flames orignition sources.

If possible, close the manual shut-offvalve on the multivalve. Themultivalve is located on the liquid gastank in the load compartment,underneath the rear floor cover.

Turn the thumb wheel clockwise.If no further gas odour is perceptiblewhen the manual shut-off valve isclosed, the vehicle can be used inpetrol mode. If the gas odour persists,do not start the engine. Have thecause of the fault remedied by aworkshop.When using underground car parks,follow the instructions of the operatorand local laws.

NoticeIn the event of an accident, switch offthe ignition and lights. Close themanual shut-off valve on multivalve.

For the values specific for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulation R (EC) No.715/2007 (in the version respectivelyapplicable), taking into considerationthe vehicle weight in running order, asspecified by the regulation.The figures are provided only for thepurpose of comparison betweendifferent vehicle variants and mustnot be taken as a guarantee for theactual fuel consumption of aparticular vehicle. Additionalequipment may result in slightlyhigher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.

Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage, e.g. in case of fourtimes five watt bulbs, the function onlydetects lamp outage when only asingle five Watt lamp remains or noneremain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle whennot in use.


Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1100 kg the use of a stabiliser isstrongly recommended when drivingabove 50 mph.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 234.

Trailer towingTrailer loads

9 Warning

Vehicles with engine A13DTE:Use of towing equipment ispermissible for attachingcompatible bicycle carriers only.Do not use towing equipment fortrailer towing.

The permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12%.The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sealevel. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8%, e.g. motorways).The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 223.

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


Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by80 kg (vehicles with LPG system:110 kg), the gross vehicle weightrating may be exceeded by 70 kg(vehicles with LPG system: 95 kg). Ifthe permissible rear axle load isexceeded, a maximum speed of60 mph applies.

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

Tyre pressure 3 234.The tyre pressure information labelon the right door frame indicates theoriginal equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.

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

Engine data 3 227.2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 234.For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

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

9 Warning

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

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

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

Vehicle care 197

values provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperatureincrease. This must be consideredwhen warm tyres are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed inthe Driver Information Centre showsthe real tyre pressure. A cooled downtyre will show a decreased value,which does not indicate an air leak.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring systemchecks the pressure of all four wheelsonce a minute when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.

Caution

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

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

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

When the engine is not running,considerably more force is needed tobrake and steer.To prevent the entry of exhaust gasesfrom the towing vehicle, switch on theair recirculation and close thewindows.Vehicles with automatic transmission:The vehicle must be towed facingforwards, not faster than 50 mph norfurther than 60 miles. In all othercases and when the transmission isdefective, the front axle must beraised off the ground.Seek the assistance of a workshop.After towing, unscrew the towing eye.

Insert cap at the bottom and closecap.

Towing another vehicle

Disengage the cap at the bottom andremove downwards.The towing eye is stowed with thevehicle tools 3 194.

Vehicle care 215

Screw in the towing eye as far as it willgo until it stops in a horizontalposition.The lashing eye at the rearunderneath the vehicle must never beused as a towing eye.Attach a tow rope – or even better atow bar – to the towing eye.The towing eye must only be used fortowing and not for recovering avehicle.

Caution

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

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.Insert cap at the bottom and engagecap.

Appearance careExterior careLocksThe locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylindergrease. Use de-icing agent only whenabsolutely necessary, as this has adegreasing effect and impairs lockfunction. After using de-icing agent,have the locks regreased by aworkshop.

WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle isexposed to environmental influences.Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.When using automatic vehiclewashes, select a programme thatincludes waxing.Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,pollen and the like should be cleanedoff immediately, as they containaggressive constituents which cancause paint damage.

216 Vehicle care

If using a vehicle wash, comply withthe vehicle wash manufacturer'sinstructions. The windscreen wiperand rear window wiper must beswitched off. Remove antenna andexternal accessories such as roofracks etc.If you wash your vehicle by hand,make sure that the insides of thewheel housings are also thoroughlyrinsed out.Clean edges and folds on openeddoors and the bonnet as well as theareas they cover.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent witha pH value of 4 to 9.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.

Exterior lightsHeadlight and other light covers aremade of plastic. Do not use anyabrasive or caustic agents, do not usean ice scraper, and do not clean themdry.

Polishing and waxingWax the vehicle regularly (at thelatest when water no longer beads).Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.Polishing is necessary only if the painthas become dull or if solid depositshave become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.Plastic body parts must not be treatedwith wax or polishing agents.

Windows and windscreen wiperbladesUse a soft lint-free cloth or chamoisleather together with window cleanerand insect remover.When cleaning the rear window frominside, always wipe in parallel to theheating element to prevent damage.For mechanical removal of ice, use asharp-edged ice scraper. Press thescraper firmly against the glass sothat no dirt can get under it andscratch the glass.Remove dirt residues from smearingwiper blades by using a soft cloth andwindow cleaner. Also make sure toremove any residues such as wax,insect residues and similar from thewindow.Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

Vehicle care 217

MoonroofNever clean with solvents or abrasiveagents, fuels, aggressive media (e.g.paint cleaner, acetone-containingsolutions etc.), acidic or highlyalkaline media or abrasive pads. Donot apply wax or polishing agents tothe middle part of the moonroof.

Wheels and tyresDo not use high-pressure jetcleaners.Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheelcleaner.Rims are painted and can be treatedwith the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.Have more extensive damage or rustareas repaired by a workshop.

UnderbodySome areas of the vehicle underbodyhave a PVC undercoating while othercritical areas have a durableprotective wax coating.

After the underbody is washed, checkthe underbody and have it waxed ifnecessary.Bitumen/rubber materials coulddamage the PVC coating. Haveunderbody work carried out by aworkshop.Before and after winter, wash theunderbody and have the protectivewax coating checked.

Liquid gas system

9 Danger

Liquid gas is heavier than air andcan collect in sink points.Take care when performing workat the underbody in a pit.

For painting work and when using adrying booth at a temperature above60 °C, the liquid gas tank must beremoved.Do not make any modifications to theliquid gas system.

Towing equipmentDo not clean the coupling ball bar witha steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Rear carrier systemClean the rear carrier system with asteam-jet or high-pressure jet cleanerat least once a year.Operate the rear carrier systemperiodically if not in regular use, inparticular during winter.

Interior careInterior and upholsteryOnly clean the vehicle interior,including the instrument panel fasciaand panelling, with a dry cloth orinterior cleaner.Clean the leather upholstery withclear water and a soft cloth. In case ofheavy soiling, use leather care.The instrument cluster and thedisplays should only be cleaned usinga soft damp cloth. If necessary use aweak soap solution.

218 Vehicle care

Clean fabric upholstery with avacuum cleaner and brush. Removestains with an upholstery cleaner.Clothing fabrics may not becolourfast. This could cause visiblediscolourations, especially on light-coloured upholstery. Removablestains and discolourations should becleaned as soon as possible.Clean seat belts with lukewarm wateror interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as openVelcro fasteners on clothing coulddamage seat upholstery.The same applies to clothing withsharp-edged objects, like zips orbelts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber partsPlastic and rubber parts can becleaned with the same cleaner asused to clean the body. Use interiorcleaner if necessary. Do not use anyother agent. Avoid solvents and petrolin particular. Do not use high-pressure jet cleaners.

9 Warning

Operating materials arehazardous and could bepoisonous. Handle with care. Payattention to information given onthe containers.

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

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forgasoline and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities have to be used.Recommendations for gasolineengines are also valid forCompressed Natural Gas (CNG),Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) andEthanol (E85) fuelled engines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 224.

Topping up engine oilEngine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with onlyACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality isprohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 224.

Service and maintenance 221

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

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 224.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze approved forthe vehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. In

northern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

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

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersData storage modules in thevehicleA large number of electroniccomponents of your vehicle containdata storage modules temporarily orpermanently storing technical dataabout the condition of the vehicle,events and errors. In general, thistechnical information documents thecondition of parts, modules, systemsor the environment:● operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels)● status messages of the vehicle

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

● dysfunctions and defects inimportant system components

● vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of thestability regulation system)

● environmental conditions (e.g.temperature)

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimising vehiclefunctions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.If services are used (e.g. repairworks, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able toread out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.


When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particularvehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyredeflation detection and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology inVauxhall vehicles does not use orrecord personal information or linkwith any other Vauxhall systemcontaining personal information.
