Driving and operating

The forward collision alert uses the

front camera in the windscreen to

detect a preceding vehicle directly

ahead, in your path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is

approached too quickly, a warning

chime and alert in the Driver

Information Centre is provided.

Warning

Forward collision alert is just a

warning system and does not

apply the brakes. When

approaching a vehicle ahead too

rapidly, there may not be 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.

Activation

Forward collision alert detects

vehicles and operates automatically

at all speeds above 3 mph and

53 mph. The system detects

stationary vehicles if the speed does

not exceed 50 mph.

Alerting the driver

The driver is warned by following

alerts:

● Symbol

illuminates and a

warning message is displayed in

the Driver Information Centre

when the distance to the vehicle

ahead gets to small.

● Symbol

illuminates, a warning

message is displayed in the

Driver Information Centre and a

warning chime sounds, when a

collision is imminent and

immediate driver's action is

required.

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.

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

Driving and operating

199

applicable traffic rules, weather

and road conditions etc. at all

times.

Selecting the alert sensitivity

The alert sensitivity has to be set to

close, normal or distant in the vehicle

personalisation menu

83.

The chosen setting will remain until it

is changed. The alert timing will vary

based on vehicle speed. The faster

the vehicle speed, the farther away

the alert will occur. Consider traffic

and weather conditions when

selecting the alert timing.

Deactivation

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the vehicle personalisation

83.

System limitations

Forward collision alert is designed to

warn on vehicles, pedestrians and

cyclists, 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
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow

● the sensor in the windscreen or

the radar unit behind the front

bumper are blocked by snow, ice,

slush, mud, dirt etc.

● the windscreen is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

stickers

● the bumper is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

license plate support

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking 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 or the front pedestrian protection

alert.
Forward collision alert

197.

Front pedestrian protection

202.

Active emergency braking can be

deactivated in the personalisation

83. If deactivated,

illuminates in the instrument cluster

and a warning message is displayed

in the Driver Information Centre.
The feature uses various inputs (e.g.

camera sensor, brake pressure,

vehicle speed) to calculate the

probability of a frontal collision.

Warning

This system is not intended to

replace the driver responsibility for

driving the vehicle and looking

ahead. Its function is limited to

200

Driving and operating

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

Active emergency braking is

equipped with a front camera and

operates in forward gear in the range

between 3 mph and 53 mph. The

system detects stationary vehicles

only if the speed does not exceed

50 mph.
A precondition is that forward collision

alert with front camera system is not

deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation menu

83.

The system includes:

● emergency automatic braking
● forward looking brake assist

● forward collision alert
● front pedestrian protection

Emergency automatic braking

After activation of brake preparation

system and just before the imminent

collision, this function automatically

applies limited braking to reduce the

impact speed of the collision or

prohibit a crash. If active emergency

braking is applied,

flashes in the

instrument cluster. Depending on the

situation, the vehicle may

automatically brake moderately or

hard. This front automatic braking can

only occur if a vehicle or a pedestrian

ahead is detected.
Forward collision alert

197.

Front pedestrian protection

202.

Emergency automatic braking may

slow the vehicle to a complete stop to

try to avoid a potential crash.

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 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.

Driving and operating

201

Warning

Active emergency braking is not

designed to apply hard

autonomous braking or to

automatically avoid a collision. It is

designed to reduce the vehicle

speed before a collision. It may not

react to animals. After a sudden

lane change, the system needs a

certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle.
The complete attention of the

driver is always required while

driving. The driver must always be

ready to take action and apply the

brakes and steer to avoid

collisions.

The system is designed to work with

all occupants wearing their seat belts.

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, e.g. below the

bumper or underneath the vehicle.
During a reverse parking

manoeuvre, the system does not

consider a mounted coupling ball

bar. The driver has to consider this

additional length.

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. The performance of

the parking assist may be reduced if

the license plate is bent or a license

plate support is used.

The rear view camera assists the

driver when reversing by displaying a

view of the area behind the vehicle.
The view of the camera is displayed

in the Info Display.

Warning

The rear view camera does not

replace driver vision. Note that

objects that are outside the

camera's field of view and the

parking assist sensors, e.g. below

the bumper or underneath the

vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse or park the vehicle

using only the rear view camera.
Always check the surrounding of

the vehicle before and during

driving.

Switching on

Rear view camera is automatically

activated when reverse gear is

engaged.

signs. Do not ignore traffic signs

which are not displayed by the

system.
Do not let this special feature

tempt you into taking risks when

driving.
Always adapt speed regarding

road, traffic and weather

conditions.
The driver assistance systems do

not relieve the driver from full

responsibility for vehicle

operation.

When driving abroad make sure

the vehicle uses the speed unit of

the respective country. If

necessary, select the correct units

in the Info Display.

Lane departure warning

The lane departure warning system

supports the driver to avoid

unintended leaving of the lane. The

front camera observes road edges,

as well as the lane markings between

which the vehicle is driving. If the

vehicle approaches a road edge or a

lane marking, the system warns the

driver.
Unintended lane departure is not

assumed by the system when the turn

lights are operated and during few

seconds after turn lights have been

switched off.
No warning will be issued with a

dynamic driving, i.e. pressure on the

brake or accelerator pedal.

Driving and operating

Driver alert

The driver alert system monitores the

driving time and the vigilance of the

driver. Monitoring the vigilance of the

driver is based on the trajectory

variations of the vehicle compared to

the lane markings.
The system cannot replace the need

for vigilance on the part of the driver.

Taking a break is recommended as

soon as feeling tired or at least every

two hours. Do not drive when feeling

tired.

Activation or Deactivation

The system can be activated or

deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation

83.

The state of the system stays in

memory when the ignition is switched

off.

Driving time alert

The driver gets notified by a pop-up

reminder symbol

€

in the Driver

Information Centre simultaneously

with an acoustic alert if the driver has

not taken a break after two hours of

driving at a speed above 40 mph. The

alert is repeated hourly until the

vehicle is stopped, no matter how

vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is

reset when the ignition has been

switched off for a few minutes.

Driver drowsiness detection

The system monitors the driver's level

of vigilance. A camera in the

windscreen detects variations in

trajectory compared to the lane

markings. This system is particularly

suited to fast roads (speed higher

than 40 mph).
If the trajectory of the vehicle

suggests a certain level of

drowsiness or inattention by the

driver, the system triggers the first

level of alert. The driver is notified by

a message and an audible signal is

given.
After three first level alerts, the

system triggers a new alert with a

message, accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor

road surface or strong winds), the

system may give alerts independent

of the driver's level of vigilance.
The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised when the ignition has

been switched off for a few minutes or

the speed remains below 40 mph for

a few minutes.

System limitations

In the following situations, the system

may not operate properly or even not

operate at all:

● poor visibility caused by

inadequate lighting of the

roadway, falling snow, heavy

rain, dense fog etc.

● dazzle caused by headlamps of

oncoming vehicles, low sun,

reflections on damp roads,

leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light etc.

● no lane markings detected or

multiple lane markings due to

roadworks

● close vehicles ahead
● winding roads or narrow roads

items, e.g. stickers

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 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 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

278. A

country-specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

In certain countries, the use of a

particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane

rating, may be required to ensure

proper engine operation.

222

Driving and operating

Fuel for diesel engines

The diesel engines are compatible

with bio-fuels that conform to current

and future European standards and

can be obtained from filling stations:

Diesel fuel that meets standard

EN590 mixed with a biofuel that

meets standard EN14214 (possibly

containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl

Ester).

Diesel fuel that meets standard

EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that

meets standard EN14214 (possibly

containing up to 10% Fatty Acid

Methyl Ester).

Paraffinic diesel fuel that meets

standard EN15940 mixed with a

biofuel that meets standard

EN14214 (possibly containing up to

7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting

standard EN16709 is possible.

However, this use, even occasional,

requires strict application of the

special servicing conditions referred

to as "Arduous conditions".
For further information, contact a

workshop.

Caution

The use of any other type of (bio)

fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure

or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is

strictly prohibited (risk of damage

to the engine and fuel system).

Notice

The only diesel additives authorised

for use are those that meet the

B715000 standard.

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.

Driving and operating

223

Refuelling

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.

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 left rear

side of vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be opened

if the vehicle is unlocked. Open the

fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

Petrol and diesel refuelling

To open, turn the cap slowly

anticlockwise.

224

Driving and operating

The fuel filler cap can be attached to

the hook on the fuel filler flap.
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.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap

clockwise.
Close the flap and allow it to engage.

Fuel filler cap

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

fuel filler caps.

Trailer hitch

General information

Only use towing equipment that has

been approved for your vehicle. If

using non-factory fitted towing

equipment, deactivation of the hands-

free tailgate operation may be

required

15.

Entrust retrofitting of towing

equipment to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.
The bulb outage detection function for

trailer or bike carrier 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

light remains or none remain.
LED lights are not suitable for the

wiring harness of this trailer hitch.
Fitting of towing equipment could

cover the opening of the towing eye.

If this is the case use the coupling ball

Driving and operating

225

bar for towing. Always keep the

coupling ball bar in the vehicle to have

it on hand if needed.

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 curb 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

283.

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 inclines 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

275.

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 65 kg is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.

For vehicles with engine DV5RC and

automatic transmission, the

maximum permissible vertical

coupling load is 55 kg. Always aim for

the maximum load, especially in the

case of heavy trailers. The vertical

coupling load should never fall below

25 kg.

226

Driving and operating

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

60 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

When operating without a trailer,

remove the coupling ball bar.

Stowage of coupling ball bar

The bag with the coupling ball bar is

stowed on the rear floor cover in the

load compartment.

Place the strap through the rear right

lashing eye, wrap around twice and

tighten the strap to secure the bag.

Fitting the coupling ball bar

Swivel the connecting socket

downwards. Remove the sealing plug

from the opening for the coupling ball

bar and stow it.

Checking the tensioning of the

coupling ball bar

● Red marking on rotary knob must

point towards green marking on

coupling ball bar.

● The gap between the rotary knob

and the coupling ball bar must be

approx. 6 mm.

● The key must be in position

Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must

be tensioned before being inserted:

Driving and operating

227

● Unlock coupling ball bar by

turning key to position

● Pull out rotary knob and turn

clockwise as far as it will go.

Inserting the coupling ball bar

Insert the tensioned coupling ball bar

in the opening and push firmly

upwards until it audibly engages.
The rotary handle snaps back into its

original position resting against the

coupling ball bar without a gap.

Warning

Do not touch rotary handle during

insertion.

Lock the coupling ball bar by turning

the key to position

. Remove the key

and close the protective flap.

Eye for break-away stopping cable

Attach breakaway stopping cable to

eye.

Checking the correct installation of

the coupling ball bar

● Green marking on rotary knob

must point towards green

marking on coupling ball bar.

● There must be no gap between

the rotary handle and the

coupling ball bar.

● The coupling ball bar must be

firmly engaged in the opening.

● The coupling ball bar must be

locked and the key removed.

228

Driving and operating

Warning

Towing a trailer is permitted only

when a coupling ball bar is fitted

correctly. If the coupling ball bar

does not engage correctly, seek

the assistance of a workshop.

Dismounting the coupling ball bar

Open the protective flap and turn the

key to position

to unlock the

coupling ball bar.
Pull out rotary handle and turn

clockwise as far as it will go. Pull out

coupling ball bar downwards.
Insert sealing plug in opening.

Swivel the connecting socket

upwards.
