Control of the vehicle  
Never coast with engine not  
running  
Many systems will not function in this  
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power  
steering). Driving in this manner is a  
danger to yourself and others.  
Starting and operating  
If power steering assist is lost  
because the engine stops or due to a  
system malfunction, the vehicle can  
be steered but may require increased  
effort.  
New vehicle running-in  
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for  
the first few journeys.  
During the first drive, smoke may  
occur because of wax and oil  
evaporating off the exhaust system.  
Park the vehicle in the open for a  
while after the first drive and avoid  
inhaling the fumes.  
During the running-in period, fuel and  
engine oil consumption may be  
higher.  
All systems function during an  
Autostop.

9 Warning  
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin  
with AdBlue.  
In case of eye or skin contact,  
rinse off with water.  
Caution  
Catalytic converter  
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  
Avoid contact of the paintwork with  
AdBlue.  
In case of contact, rinse off with  
water.  
The catalytic converter reduces the  
amount of harmful substances in the  
exhaust gases.  
Caution  
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.  
Fuel grades other than those listed  
on pages 3 220, 3 284 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.  
The typical AdBlue consumption is  
approx. 2 l per 600 miles, but can also  
be higher depending on driving  
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.

message with the current range will  
always be displayed when ignition is  
switched on and needs to be  
confirmed 3 110. Refill AdBlue before  
entering the next warning level.  
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

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.

ground surface. The system is always  
active and cannot be deactivated.  
Towing the vehicle 3 270.  
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.  
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.

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.  
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.

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

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.

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.

detected by the system. The driver  
accepts responsibility.  
Parking assist systems do not  
detect objects outside the  
detection range.  
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.  
Notice  
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.  
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).  
Caution  
System is calibrated to factory-fitted  
wheels. Parking performance is  
altered with other tyre or wheels  
sizes.  
Performance of the system can be  
reduced when sensors are  
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.  
Performance of the parking assist

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 are  
located in the rear bumper.  
System limitations  
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.  
9 Warning  
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.

Fuel additive  
Fuel  
Caution  
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.  
Fuel for petrol engines  
Do not use fuel or fuel additives  
that contain metallic compounds  
such as manganese-based  
additives. This may cause engine  
damage.  
Caution  
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 of fuel that does not comply to  
EN 228 or equivalent can lead to  
deposits or engine damage.  
Caution  
Adding fuel additive to the filled fuel

9 Danger  
Fuel is flammable and explosive.  
No smoking. No naked flames or  
sparks.  
Refuelling  
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.  
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  
Caution  
9 Danger  
In case of misfuelling, do not  
switch on ignition.  
Before refuelling, switch off  
ignition and any external heaters  
with combustion chambers.  
Follow the operating and safety  
instructions of the filling station  
when refuelling.

Driving and operating  
Driving characteristics and  
towing tips  
Trailer towing  
Trailer loads  
Trailer hitch  
General information  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
Adjust tyre pressure to the value  
specified for full load 3 291.  
Driving and operating  
225  
The permissible gross train weight  
must not be exceeded. This weight is  
specified on the identification plate  
3 279.  
Rear axle load  
9 Warning  
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.  
Make sure that no one is in the  
pivot zone of the coupling ball bar.  
Risk of body injury.  
Vertical coupling load  
When releasing the stowed  
coupling ball bar, make sure to  
stand left of the grip.  
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:
