Charging

General information

Warning

Persons with a pacemaker should

consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

Charging the vehicle's high voltage

battery depends upon several factors:

● high voltage battery of the vehicle
● internal onboard charger (OBC)
● external charging device
● charging cable

The charging cable connects the

vehicle with an external charging

device providing electric power. This

244

Driving and operating

may be a domestical electric outlet, a

Green'Up socket, a wall box or a

public charging station.
The high voltage battery is charged

with direct current (DC) only. When

charging the vehicle alternating

current (AC) has to be converted into

DC. This is done by the vehicle's

onboard charger. The single-phase

onboard charger is available with

3.7 kW or 7.4 kW.
The speed of charging the vehicle's

high voltage battery depends upon

the weakest element of the charging

chain. To achieve the maximum

charging speed, charging cable and

charging device have to be attuned to

each other.
Charging types

244.

Charging cable

251.

Electric power consumption and

range

The electric power consumption

(combined) is within a range of 17.5

to 16.5 kWh/100 km.
The range is up to 40 miles.

For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The determination of electric power

consumption is regulated by directive

R (EC) No. 715/2007 and No.

2017/1151 (in the latest applicable

version).

Charging types

There are different types of charging

the vehicle's high voltage battery.

Charging times refer to charging an

empty battery until it is completely

charged.

Charging at wall boxes / AC

charging stations

A wall box / AC charging station may

provide a charging cable which has to

be connected to the vehicle's

charging port.
Charging time takes approx. three

hours and 25 minutes with the

3.7 kW onboard charger and 16 A.

For the 7.4 kW onboard charger with

32 A, charging time takes approx. one

hour and 40 minutes.

Charging at Green'Up outlets

Connect the charging cable to the

vehicle's charging port and to the

Green'Up outlet.
Charging time takes approx. three

hours and 55 minutes.

Charging at domestic electric

outlets

Connect the charging cable to the

vehicle's charging port and to the

domestic electric outlet.
Charging time may take approx. eight

hours with a charging power of 1.8

kW.

Driving and operating

Basic domestic cable (mode 2) /

enhanced domestic cable (mode

1. Vehicle plug
2. Status indicators
3. Wall plug

Basic domestic cables (mode 2) are

used for charging at domestic electric

outlets. A basic domestic cable

(mode 2) consists of a vehicle plug, a

control box and a plug for the

domestic electric outlet. The control

box has an intergrated charge

controller and several LEDs

indicating the charging status.

Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are similar to basic domestic cables

(mode 2). However, the charging

performance of enhanced domestic

cables (mode 2 charging) is better

than the charging performance of

basic domestic cables (mode 2).

Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are used at Green'Up sockets which

have to be installed by a certified

electrician at the customer's site.

Charging cable status indicators

After plugging in the charging cable,

it will perform a quick self test and all

status indicators illuminate for a

moment. For the functions of the

status indicators, refer to the manual

of the charging cable manufacturer.

Important information about

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.

252

Driving and operating

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

306. 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.

Fuel for diesel engines

The diesel engines are compatible

with bio-fuels that conform to current

and future European standards and

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 in your

diesel engines. However, this use,

even occasional, requires strict

Driving and operating

253

application of the special servicing

conditions referred to as "Arduous

conditions".
For more information, contact a

dealer or a qualified 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.

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 right rear

side of vehicle.

254

Driving and operating

The fuel filler flap can only be opened

if the vehicle is unlocked. Open the

fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.
To open the fuel filler flap of a PHEV,

a depressurisation phase is required

to avoid the emission of fuel vapour.

This can take up to one minute.

Press

. After depressurisation the

fuel filler flap is unlocked and bounces

a bit.

Petrol and diesel refuelling

To open, turn the cap slowly

anticlockwise.

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.

Driving and operating

255

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel

immediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap

clockwise until it clicks.
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.

Fuel consumption - CO

Emissions

The fuel consumption (combined) is

within a range of 196 to 36 mpg.
The CO

emission is within a range of

150 to 128 g/km.

General information

For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The determination of fuel

consumption is regulated by directive

R (EC) No. 715/2007 and No.

2017/1151 (in the latest applicable

version).
The specification of CO

emission is

also a constituent of the directive.
The figures given must not be taken

as a guarantee for the actual fuel

consumption of a particular vehicle.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.
All values are based on the EU base

model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption

takes into account the vehicle's kerb

weight, ascertained in accordance

with the regulations. Optional

equipment may result in slightly

higher fuel consumption and

emission levels and a lower

maximum speed.

256

Driving and operating

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

16.

Entrust retrofitting of towing

equipment to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.
The bulb outage detection function for

trailer brake light cannot detect a

partial bulb outage. E.g. in case of

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.
Trailers equipped with 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

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

312.

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

Driving and operating

257

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

303.

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 (70 kg) is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum vertical

coupling 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

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.

Fitting the coupling ball bar

Disengage and fold down the socket.

Remove the sealing plug from the

opening for the coupling ball bar and

stow it.

258

Driving and operating

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.

● Remove the cover from the lock

of the rotary knob and verify

whether the rotary knob is

locked. If the rotary knob cannot

be turned, it is locked.

Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must

be tensioned before being inserted:

● 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

Driving and operating

259

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.

Check that the coupling ball bar is

correctly installed

● 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.

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. Fold
