KEYLESS STARTINGFailure to StartIf you are unable to start your vehicle, dothe following.

1. Hold the passive key next to the symbolon the steering column.

2. With the passive key in this position, youcan use the button to switch the ignitionon and start your vehicle.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTERDuring regeneration at low speed or engineidle, you may smell a hot metallic odor andcould notice a clicking metallic sound. Thisis due to the high temperatures reachedduring regeneration and is normal.

HILL START ASSISTThe system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.When the system is active, your vehicle willremain stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows you time to move yourfoot from the brake to the acceleratorpedal. The brakes are releasedautomatically once the engine hasdeveloped sufficient drive to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope.

BRAKESEmergency Brake AssistEmergency brake assist detects when youbrake heavily by measuring the rate atwhich you press the brake pedal. It providesmaximum braking efficiency as long as youpress the pedal. Emergency brake assistcan reduce stopping distances in criticalsituations.

Anti-lock Brake SystemThis system helps you maintain steeringcontrol and vehicle stability duringemergency stops by keeping the brakesfrom locking.

CRUISE CONTROLCruise control lets you maintain a set speedwithout keeping your foot on theaccelerator pedal. You can use cruisecontrol when your vehicle speed is greaterthan 20 mph (30 km/h).

LANE KEEPING SYSTEMPrinciple of OperationThe system will automatically detect andtrack the lane markings on the road. If yourvehicle unintentionally drifts toward theroad lane markings, a warning will be shownin the display. There is also a warning givenin the form of a vibration felt through thesteering wheel.

REAR UNDER FLOOR STORAGEAdjustable Load Floor

The front of the load floor can be placedeither on (for high position) or below (forlow position) the ledges behind the rearseats.

LUGGAGE COVERS

Insert the ends of the cargo shade into themounting features located behind the rearseat on the rear trim panels to install theshade. Pull the rear edge of the cargo shaderearward until it clicks into place.

TOWING POINTSLocate the towing eye inside the foam boxin the spare wheel well.Remove the cover and install the towingeye.

BREAKING-INDuring the first 2000 miles (3000kilometers), you may notice a ticking soundwhen your vehicle slows down. This is dueto adjustments of your new diesel engineand is normal.

ECONOMICAL DRIVINGThe following will help to improve fuelconsumption.Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy.

Gear ShiftingUse the highest drivable gear appropriatefor the road conditions.

AnticipationAdjust your vehicle speed and the distanceto other vehicles without the need for heavybraking or acceleration.

Efficient SpeedHigher speeds use more fuel. Reduce yourcruising speed on open roads.

MAINTENANCE

WARNINGKeep your hands and clothing clearof the engine cooling fan.

Note: Under certain conditions, the fan maycontinue to run for several minutes after youhave switched the engine off.

TEMPORARY MOBILITY KITYour vehicle may not have a spare tire.Therefore you will have a temporarymobility kit which will only repair onedamaged tire.

1. Open the lid of the kit.2. Peel off the label I showing the

maximum permissible speed of 50 mph(80 km/h) from the casing and attachit to the instrument panel in the driver’sfield of view. Make sure the label doesnot obscure anything important.

3. Take the hose C and the power plugwith cable G out of the kit.

4. Unscrew the orange cap D and thebottle lid J.

5. Screw the sealant bottle K clockwiseinto the bottle holder E fully tight.

6. Remove the valve cap from thedamaged tire.

7. Detach the protective cap A from thehose C and screw the hose C firmly ontothe valve of the damaged tire.

8. Make sure that the compressor switchH is in position 0.

9. Insert the power plug G into the cigarlighter socket or auxiliary power point.

10. Start the engine.11. Move the compressor switch H to

position 1.12. Inflate the tire for no longer than 10

minutes to an inflation pressure ofminimum 1.8 bar (26 psi) and amaximum of 3.5 bar (51 psi). Move thecompressor switch H to position 0 andcheck the current tire pressure withpressure gauge F.

13. Remove the power plug G from thecigar lighter socket or auxiliary powerpoint.

14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from thetire valve and replace the protectivecap A. Fasten the valve cap again.

15. Leave the sealant bottle K in thebottle holder E.

16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid andthe orange cap are stored safely, butstill easily accessible in your vehicle.The kit will be required again when youcheck the tire pressure.

17. Immediately drive approximatelytwo miles (three kilometers) so thatthe sealant can seal the damagedarea.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORINGSYSTEM

13


As a driver assistance feature, your vehiclehas a tire pressure monitoring system. Awarning lamp will illuminate when one ormore of the tires are significantlyunder-inflated. If the low tire pressurewarning lamp illuminates, you should stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,check the tires and inflate them to thecorrect pressure.Driving on under-inflated tires can:• Cause them to overheat.• Lead to tire failure.• Reduce fuel efficiency.• Reduce tire life.• Affect vehicle handling or stopping

ability.The system is not a substitute for correcttire maintenance.You must maintain the correct tirepressures, even if low tire pressure has notilluminated the warning lamp.

Understanding the Tire PressureMonitoring SystemThe system measures the pressure in thefour road tires and sends the tire pressurereadings to your vehicle.

The system detects this lower pressure asbeing significantly below the correctinflation pressure and the warning lampilluminates. You must inflate the tires tothe correct pressure.

If the Warning Lamp is On:1. Check each tire to verify that none are

flat.2. If one or more tires are flat, repair as

necessary.3. Check the tire pressures and inflate all

the tires to the correct pressure.4. Carry out the tire pressure monitoring

system reset procedure.

Tire Pressure Monitoring SystemReset ProcedureYou must carry out the system resetprocedure after each tire replacement oradjustment of the tire pressures.

Carrying Out the System ResetProcedure1. Check the tire pressures and inflate all

the tires to the correct pressure.2. Use the information display controls on

the steering wheel or instrument panel.

To reset the tire pressure monitoring system, scroll to:

Description and ActionMessage

Press the OK button.Settings

Press the OK button.Driver assist
