If using a rear-facing child restraintsystem on the front passengerseat, the airbag system for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated. This also applies tocertain forward-facing childrestraint systems as indicated inthe tables 3 67.

Airbag deactivation 3 63, Airbag label3 58.We recommend a child restraintsystem which is tailored specifically tothe vehicle. For further information,contact your workshop.When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructionsand also those supplied with the childrestraint system.


Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.Child restraint systems can befastened with:● Three-point seat belt● ISOFIX brackets● Top-tether

Three-point seat beltChild restraint systems can befastened by using a three-point seatbelt. Depending on the size of theused child restraint systems, up tothree child restraint systems can beattached to the rear seats. Afterfastening the child restraint system,the seat belt has to be tightened3 67.

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIXchild restraint systems to the ISOFIXbrackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIXchild restraint system positions aremarked in the ISOFIX table 3 67.ISOFIX brackets are indicated by alabel on the backrest.An i-size child restraint system is anuniversal ISOFIX child restraintsystem according UN Regulation No.129.All i-size child restraint systems canbe used on any vehicle seat suitablefor i-size, i-size table 3 67.

Either a Top-tether strap or a supportleg must be used in addition to theISOFIX brackets.

i-size child seats and vehicle seatswith i-size approval are marked withi-size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchorsTop-tether anchors are marked withthe symbol : for a child seat.


In addition to the ISOFIX mountingbrackets, fasten the Top-tether strapto the Top-tether anchors.ISOFIX child restraint systems ofuniversal category positions aremarked in the table by IUF 3 67.

Selecting the right systemThe rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system.Children should travel facingrearwards in the vehicle as long aspossible. This makes sure that thechild's backbone, which is still veryweak, is under less strain in the eventof an accident.Suitable are restraint systems thatcomply with valid UN ECEregulations. Check local laws andregulations for mandatory use of childrestraint systems.The following child restraints arerecommended for the followingweight classes:

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for children up to13 kg for group 0, group 0+ and DuoPlus for children from 13 kg to 18 kgin group I.Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with thevehicle type.Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct, see followingtables.Allow children to enter and exit thevehicle only on the side facing awayfrom the traffic.When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.NoteDo not affix anything on the childrestraint systems and do not coverthem with any other materials.A child restraint system which hasbeen subjected to stress in anaccident must be replaced.

9 Danger

Switching off the engine duringdriving may cause loss of powersupport for brake and steeringsystems. Assistance systems andairbag systems are disabled.Lighting and brake lights willextinguish. Therefore power downthe engine and ignition whiledriving only when required in caseof emergency.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesStarting the engine without additionalheaters is possible down to -25 °С fordiesel engines and -30 °C for petrolengines. Required is an engine oilwith the correct viscosity, the correctfuel, performed services and asufficiently charged vehicle battery.With temperatures below -30 °C theautomatic transmission requires awarming phase of approx.five minutes. The selector lever mustbe in position P.

Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot need to hold Engine Start/Stoppressed. Once applied, the systemwill go on starting automatically untilthe engine is running. Because of thechecking procedure, the engine startsrunning after 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 pedal is released.Depending on driving conditions, theoverrun cut-off may be deactivated.

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.

ActivationThe stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, thevehicle starts-off and the conditionsas stated below in this section arefulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start systemmanually by pressing Ò. Deactivationis indicated when the LED in thebutton illuminates.

● 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.The stop-start system will bedeactivated on inclines of 12% ormore.Certain settings of the climate controlsystem may inhibit an Autostop. SeeClimate control chapter for moredetails 3 150.Immediately after motorway driving,an Autostop may be inhibited.New vehicle running-in 3 163.

Vehicle battery discharge protectionTo ensure reliable engine restarts,several battery discharge protectionfeatures are implemented as part ofthe stop-start system.

Power saving measuresDuring an Autostop, several electricalfeatures e.g. auxiliary electric heateror heated rear window are disabled or

switched to a power saving mode.The fan speed of the climate controlsystem is reduced to save power.

Restart of the engine by the driver

Vehicles with manual transmissionConventional restartAll engines have conventional restart.Depress the clutch pedal withoutdepressing the brake pedal to restartthe engine.On engines with late restart aconventional restart is only possiblewithout depressed brake pedal.Late restartAll engines have late restart inaddition to conventional restart. Laterestart is only active on gradients upto 5%.● Depress the brake pedal.● Depress the clutch pedal.● Select first gear.● Release the brake pedal to

restart the engine.


Vehicles with automatic transmissionRelease the brake pedal or moveselector lever out of D into N or P torestart the engine.

● Lock the vehicle with button onthe door handle.

● Activate the anti-theft alarmsystem.

● The engine cooling fans may runafter the engine has beenswitched off 3 241.

Caution

After running at high enginespeeds or with high engine loads,operate the engine briefly at a lowload or run in neutral forapprox. 30 seconds beforeswitching off, in order to protectthe turbocharger.

NoteIn 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 filterAutomatic cleaning processThe 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 itneeds between seven and twelveminutes. Autostop is not availableand fuel consumption may be higherduring this period. The emission ofsmells and smoke during this processis normal.

System requires cleaning processUnder certain driving conditions, e.g.short distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If cleaning of the filter is required andif previous driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, it will be


indicated by illumination of% and awarning message in the DriverInformation Centre.% illuminates along with a warningmessage illuminates when dieselparticle filter is full. Start cleaningprocess as soon as possible.% flashes along with a warningmessage when diesel particle filterhas reached the maximum fillinglevel. Start cleaning processimmediately to avoid damage to theengine.

Activate self-cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 rpm. Shift down ifnecessary. Diesel particle filtercleaning is then started.Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.Control indicator % extinguishes assoon as the self-cleaning operation iscomplete. Keep on driving until self-cleaning operation is complete.

Caution

If possible, do not interruptcleaning process. Drive untilcleaning is completed to avoid theneed for service or repair by aworkshop.

Cleaning process not possibleIf cleaning is not possible for anyreasons, control indicator Zilluminates and a warning messageappears in the Driver InformationCentre. Engine power may bereduced. Seek the assistance of aworkshop immediately.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 231, 3 294 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, drivingcan be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.


AdBlueGeneral informationThe selective catalytic reduction(BlueInjection) is a method tosubstantially reduce the nitrogenoxides in the exhaust emission. Thisis achieved by injecting a DieselExhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaustsystem. The ammonia released bythe fluid reacts with nitrous gases(NOx) from the exhaust and turns itinto nitrogen and water.The designation of this fluid is AdBlue®. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable,colourless and odourless fluid whichconsists of 32% urea and 68% water.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skinwith AdBlue.In case of eye or skin contact,rinse off with water.

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.In case of contact, rinse off withwater.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature ofapprox. -11 °C. As the vehicle isequipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,the emissions reduction at lowtemperatures is ensured. The AdBluepre-heater works automatically.The typical AdBlue consumption isapprox. two litres per 1000 km, butcan also be higher depending ondriving behaviour (e.g. high load ortowing).

AdBlue tankAt a remaining volume of approx.five litres, there is a liquid level switch.Warning messages are displayedonly below that threshold. Tankvolume 3 303.

Level warningsDepending on the calculated range ofAdBlue, different messages aredisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre. The messages and therestrictions are a legal requirement.The first possible warning is AdBlueRange: 2400 km.This warning will show up once brieflywith the calculated range. Driving ispossible without any restrictions.The next warning level is entered witha range below 1750 km. Themessage with the current range willalways be displayed when ignition isswitched on and needs to beconfirmed 3 114. Refill AdBlue beforeentering the next warning level.At an AdBlue range below 900 km,the following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Low Refill Now● Engine Restart Prevented in 900

km.Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.


NoteIn case of high AdBlue consumption,the Driver Information Centre maydisplay this warning without theprevious warning stages.

The last warning level is enteredwhen the AdBlue tank is empty.Restart of the engine is not possible.The following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Empty Refill Now● Engine Will Not Restart.

Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.With active prevention of an enginestart, the following message will bedisplayed:Refill AdBlue To Start Vehicle.The tank must be refilled completelywith AdBlue, otherwise restarting ofthe engine is not possible.3 303

High emission warningsIf the exhaust emission rises above acertain value, warnings similar to therange warnings will be displayed inthe Driver Information Centre.Requests to have the exhaust systemchecked and finally theannouncement of the prevention ofan engine restart are displayed.These restrictions are a legalrequirement.Consult a workshop for assistance.

Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complieswith European standardsDIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.Do not use additives.Do not dilute AdBlue.Otherwise the selective catalyticreduction system could bedamaged.

NoteWhenever a filling pump with anozzle for passenger cars is notavailable at a filling station, use onlyAdBlue bottles or canisters with asealed refill adapter for refilling, toprevent splashback and overspill,and in order to ensure that the fumesfrom the tank are captured and donot emerge. AdBlue in bottles orcanisters is available in many fillingstations and can be purchased e.g.at Opel dealers and other retailoutlets.Since AdBlue has a limiteddurability, check the date of expirybefore refilling.NoteThe refilling of AdBlue is onlydetected by the system when theabove mentioned liquid level switchin the tank is activated.In case AdBlue refill is notsuccessfully detected:


1. Continuously drive the vehiclefor 10 minutes making sure thatvehicle speed is always higherthan 20 km/h.

2. If AdBlue refill is detectedsuccessfully, AdBlue supply-driven limitations will disappear.

If AdBlue refill is still not detected,seek the assistance of a workshop.If AdBlue must be refilled attemperatures below -11 °C, therefilling of AdBlue may not bedetected by the system. In thisevent, park the vehicle in a spacewith a higher ambient temperatureuntil AdBlue is liquefied.NoteWhen unscrewing the protective capfrom the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as thefumes have a pungent smell. Thefumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The AdBlue tank should be filledcompletely. This must be done if thewarning message regardingprevention of an engine restart isalready displayed.

The vehicle must be parked on a levelsurface.The filler neck for AdBlue is locatedbehind the fuel filler flap, which islocated at right rear side of thevehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked.1. Remove key from ignition switch.2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of thevehicle.

3. Release the fuel filler flap bypushing the flap 3 233.

4. Unscrew protective cap from thefiller neck.

5. Open AdBlue canister.6. Mount one end of the hose on the

canister and screw the other endon the filler neck.

7. Lift the canister until it is empty, oruntil the flow from the canister hasstopped. This can take up tofive minutes.

8. Place the canister on the groundto empty the hose, wait15 seconds.

9. Unscrew the hose from the fillerneck.

10. Mount the protective cap and turnclockwise until it engages.

NoteDispose of AdBlue canisteraccording to environmentalrequirements. Hose can be reusedafter flushing with clear water beforeAdBlue dries out.

The system is alwaysactive and cannot be deactivated.The torque is distributed steplesslybetween the wheels of the front andrear axle up to a torque split of 50%to 50%. Depending on the drivingconditions, i.e. steady state driving,All wheel drive system transfers aminimum amount of torque for fuelefficiency. Additionally the torquevectoring between the rear wheels isdistributed depending on the vehicledynamic and surface.This is possible because the All wheeldrive system operates with twoclutches, one on each side.For optimum system performance,the vehicle's tyres should not havevarying degrees of wear.

If a service message is displayed inthe Driver Information Centre, thesystem may have limited functionality(or be completely disabled in somecases, i.e. the vehicle switches toFront-wheel drive). Seek theassistance of a workshop.Towing the vehicle 3 279.

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 3 109.Active emergency braking 3 203.

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 3 110.

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

Adaptive cruise controlAdaptive cruise control is anenhancement to conventional cruisecontrol with the additional feature ofmaintaining a certain distance behindthe vehicle ahead.

Adaptive cruise control automaticallydecelerates the vehicle whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle.It then adjusts the vehicle speed tofollow the vehicle ahead at theselected following distance. Thevehicle speed increases or decreasesto follow the vehicle in front, but willnot exceed the set speed. It mayapply limited braking with activatedbrake lights.To facilitate overtaking a vehicle onthe motorway, the activation of theturn signal reduces the followingdistance for a short time. This functionis implemented only on the respectivedriver's side depending on left or righthand drive vehicle configuration.The adaptive cruise control can storeset speed over 30 km/h for manualtransmission. On vehicles withautomatic transmissions the systemcan brake until a full stop and drive offfrom a stop.


Adaptive cruise control uses radarand camera sensors to detect thevehicles ahead. If no vehicle isdetected in the driving path, theadaptive cruise control will behavelike a conventional cruise control.Adaptive cruise control is mainlyadvised to be used on long straightroads like highways or country roadswith steady traffic. Do not use thesystem if it is not advisable tomaintain a constant speed.Control indicator A 3 113, C 3 113.

9 Warning

The complete driver attention isalways required while driving withadaptive cruise control. The driverstays fully in control of the vehiclebecause the brake pedal, the

accelerator pedal and the cancelswitch have priority over anyadaptive cruise control operation.

Deactivation of the functionalityAdaptive cruise control is deactivatedby the driver when:● y is pressed.● Brake pedal is applied.● Clutch pedal is depressed for

more than four seconds.● Selector lever of automatic

transmission is moved to N.The system is also automaticallydeactivated when:● Vehicle speed accelerates above

190 km/h or slows down below25 km/h. Vehicles with automatictransmission slows down to astop without deactivating withinfive minutes.

● The Traction Control system isdeactivated or operating.

● The Electronic Stability Control isdeactivated or operating.

● There is no traffic and nothingdetected on the road sides forapprox. one minute. In this casethere are no radar echoes andthe sensor may report that it isblocked.


● The active emergency brakingsystem is applying the brakes.

● Driving on steep inclines.● The radar sensor is blocked by

an ice or water film.● A fault is detected in the radar,

camera, engine or brake system.● The brakes need to cool down.

Additionally, the system isautomatically deactivated on vehicleswith automatic transmission (fullspeed range adaptive cruise control)when:● The incline uphill or downhill is

greater than 20 %.● The electric parking brake is

applied.● The vehicle is being held to a stop

by the system for more thanfive minutes.

● The vehicle stops, the driver'sseat belt is unbuckled and thedriver's door is opened.

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the control indicator mchanges from green to white and apop-up message is displayed in theDriver Information Centre.The stored speed is maintained.

On Midlevel display, the stored speedis indicated in brackets in the DriverInformation Centre when the systemis deactivated but not switched off.On Uplevel display, the adaptivecruise control symbol C changesfrom green to white when the systemis deactivated but not switched off.

9 Warning

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the driver must takeover full brake and engine controlimmediately.

Switching off the systemPress C to switch off adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator Cextinguishes in the Driver InformationCentre. The stored speed is deleted.Switching off the ignition alsoswitches off adaptive cruise controland deletes the stored speed.

Driver's attention● Use adaptive cruise control

carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicleahead and needs time to detect itagain.

● Do not use the system onslippery roads as it can createrapid changes in tyre traction(wheel spinning), so that youcould lose control of the vehicle.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol during rain, snow orheavy dirt, as the radar sensorcan be covered by a water film,dust, ice or snow. This reduces orsuppresses completely the


visibility. In case of sensorblockage, clean the sensorcover.

System limits

9 Warning

The system's automatic brakeforce does not permit hard brakingand the braking level may not besufficient to avoid a collision.

● After a sudden lane change, thesystem needs a certain time todetect the next precedingvehicle. So if a new vehicle isdetected, the system mayaccelerate instead of braking.

● Adaptive cruise control doesignore the oncoming traffic.

● Adaptive cruise control does notconsider pedestrians andanimals for braking and drivingoff.

● Adaptive cruise control considersstopped vehicles only at lowspeed.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol when towing a trailer.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol on roads with an incline ofmore than 10%.

Bends

The adaptive cruise control calculatesa predicted path based on thecentrifugal force. This predicted pathconsiders the current bendcharacteristic, but cannot consider afuture bend change. The system maylose the current vehicle ahead orconsider a vehicle which is not in theactual lane. This can happen whenentering or exiting a bend or if thebend gets stronger or weaker. Thecamera applies a certain correctionbased on the detectable lanemarkings. The control indicator A willextinguish, if a vehicle ahead is nolonger detected.

If the centrifugal force is too high in abend, the system slows down thevehicle slightly. This braking level isnot designed to avoid spinning-off thebend. The driver is responsible forreducing the selected speed beforeentering a bend and in general toadapt the speed to the road type andto existing speed limits.

MotorwaysOn motorways, adapt the set speedto the situation and the weather.Always consider that adaptive cruisecontrol has a limited visibility range, alimited braking level and a certainreaction time to verify if a vehicle is onthe driving path or not. Furthermore,adaptive cruise control was designedto brake as late as possible to allowchanging the lane before theautomatic braking. Adaptive cruisecontrol may not be able to brake thevehicle in time to avoid a collision with


a much slower vehicle or after a lanechange. This is particularly true whiledriving fast or if the visibility isreduced due to weather conditions.While entering or exiting a motorway,adaptive cruise control may lose thevehicle ahead and accelerate up tothe set speed. For this reason,decrease the set speed before theexit or before the entry.

Vehicle path changes

If another vehicle enters your drivingpath, adaptive cruise control will firstconsider the vehicle when it iscompletely in your path. Be ready totake action and depress the brakepedal, if you need to brake morequickly.

Hill and trailer considerations

9 Warning

Do not use adaptive cruise controlon steep hill roads.

System performance on hills dependson vehicle speed, vehicle load, trafficconditions and the road gradient. Itmay not detect a vehicle in your pathwhile driving on hills. Full speed rangeadaptive control is deactivatedautomatically, as the vehicle isstopping uphill on an incline greaterthan 10%. In this condition, beprepared to take control of thevehicle.Note that applying the brakedeactivates the system.

Radar unit

The radar unit is mounted behind theradiator grille behind or below thebrand emblem.

9 Warning

The radar unit was alignedcarefully during manufacture.Therefore, in the event of a front-end impact, do not use the system.The front bumper may appear tobe intact, however the sensorbehind can be out of position andreact incorrectly. After an


accident, consult a workshop toverify and adjust the radar unitposition.

Active emergency brakingActive emergency braking can help toreduce the damage and injury fromcrashes with vehicles, pedestriansand obstacles directly ahead, when acollision can no longer be avoidedeither by manual braking or bysteering. Before the activeemergency braking applies, the driveris warned by the Forward collisionalert 3 200 or the Front pedestrianprotection alert 3 206.The feature uses various inputs (e.g.camera sensor, radar sensor, brakepressure, vehicle speed) to calculatethe probability of a frontal collision.


9 Warning

This system is not intended toreplace the driver responsibility fordriving the vehicle and lookingahead. Its function is limited tosupplemental use only to reducethe vehicle speed before acollision.The system may not react toanimals. After a sudden lanechange, the system needs acertain time to detect the nextpreceding vehicle.The driver must always be readyto take action and apply the brakesand steer to avoid collisions.

FunctionalityIf equipped only with front camera theactive emergency braking operates inforward gear above walking speed upto 85 km/h.With radar sensor active emergencybraking operates in forward gearabove walking speed at all speeds.

A precondition is that forward collisionalert with front camera system is notdeactivated in the vehiclepersonalisation menu 3 127.The system includes:● brake preparation system● emergency automatic braking● forward looking brake assist● intelligent brake assist (only with

radar sensor)● front pedestrian protection

system

Brake preparation systemWhen approaching a vehicle aheador a pedestrian so quickly that acollision is likely, the brakepreparation system slightlypressurizes the brakes. This reducesthe response time, when a manual orautomatic braking is requested.The brake system is prepared so thatbraking can occur more rapidly.If equipped only with front camera thesystem operates up to a speed of 80km/h.

Emergency automatic brakingAfter activation of brake preparationsystem and just before the imminentcollision, this function automaticallyapplies limited braking to reduce theimpact speed of the collision orprohibit a crash. Depending on thesituation, the vehicle mayautomatically brake moderately orhard. This front automatic braking canonly occur if a vehicle ahead isdetected, indicated by the vehicleahead indicator A 3 200. On vehicleswith front pedestrian protection, frontautomatic braking can also occurwhen a pedestrian ahead is detected,indicated by the pedestrian aheadindicator 7.If equipped only with front camera thesystem operates up to a speed of 80km/h.Below a speed of 40 km/h the systemcan apply full braking.Emergency automatic braking mayslow the vehicle to a complete stop totry to avoid a potential crash. If thishappens, emergency automaticbraking may engage the electric


parking brake to hold the vehicle at astop. To release press the electricparking brake button or firmly pressthe accelerator pedal.

9 Warning

Emergency automatic braking isan emergency crash preparationfeature and is not designed toavoid crashes. Do not rely on thesystem to brake the vehicle.Emergency automatic braking willnot brake outside of its operatingspeed range and only responds todetected vehicles andpedestrians.

Forward looking brake assistIn addition to the brake preparationsystem and emergency automaticbraking, the forward looking brakeassist function makes the brake assistmore sensitive. Therefore, pressingthe brake pedal less strongly resultsin immediate hard braking. Thisfunction helps the driver brakequicker and harder before theimminent collision.

If equipped only with front camera thesystem operates up to a speed of 85km/h.

9 Warning

Active emergency braking is notdesigned to apply hardautonomous braking or toautomatically avoid a collision. It isdesigned to reduce the vehiclespeed before a collision. It may notreact to animals. After a suddenlane change, the system needs acertain time to detect the nextpreceding vehicle.The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver must always beready to take action and apply thebrakes and steer to avoidcollisions.

The system is designed to work withall occupants wearing their seat belts.

Intelligent Brake AssistIf the vehicle is equipped with radarsensor Intelligent brake assist mayactivate when the brake pedal is

applied quickly by providing a boostto braking based on the speed ofapproach and distance to a vehicleahead.Minor brake pedal pulsations or pedalmovement during this time is normaland the brake pedal should continueto be applied as needed. Intelligentbrake assist will automaticallydisengage only when the brake pedalis released.

9 Warning

Intelligent brake assist mayincrease vehicle braking insituations when it may not benecessary. You could block theflow of traffic. If this occurs, takeyour foot off the brake pedal andthen apply the brakes as needed.

If the system does not work as itshould do, vehicle messages aredisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre.Vehicle messages 3 125.

Front pedestrian protectionFront pedestrian protection may helpto avoid or reduce the harm causedby front-end crashes with nearbypedestrians when driving in a forwardgear.The system uses the front camera inthe windscreen to detect a pedestriandirectly ahead, in your path.Front pedestrian protection candetect and alert to pedestrians in aforward gear at speeds between 8km/h and 80 km/h. Additionally Frontpedestrian protection can provide aboost to braking or automaticallybrake the vehicle.During daytime driving, the systemdetects pedestrians up to a distanceof approximately 40 metres. Duringnighttime driving, systemperformance is limited.


Front pedestrian protection can beset to Off, Alert, or Alert & Brake invehicle personalisation 3 127.

9 Danger

Front pedestrian braking does notprovide an alert or automaticallybrake the vehicle, unless it detectsa pedestrian.The system may not detectpedestrians, including children,when the pedestrian is not directlyahead, not fully visible, notstanding upright, or when part of agroup.

Front pedestrian protection includes:● detecting front pedestrian ahead● front pedestrian alert● automatic braking

Detecting front pedestrian ahead

A pedestrian ahead up to a distanceof approximately 40 m is indicated bythe control indicator 7 in theinstrument cluster. On vehicles withhead-up display, 7 is projected on thewindscreen.

Front pedestrian alert

When approaching a detectedpedestrian too quickly, a red flashingLED alert or the pop-up symbol 7 inthe head-up display is projected onthe windscreen in the driver's field ofview. A warning chime is provided.The brake system may prepare fordriver braking to occur more rapidlywhich can cause a brief, milddeceleration. Continue to apply thebrake pedal as required.Cruise control or Adaptive cruisecontrol may be disengaged when theFront pedestrian alert occurs.

Automatic brakingIf a crash into a pedestrian directlyahead is imminent, and the brakeshave not been applied, Automaticbraking may automatically brakemoderately or brake hard. This canhelp to avoid some very low speedpedestrian crashes or reducepedestrian injury.Automatic braking levels may bereduced under certain conditions,such as higher speeds.


If this happens, automatic brakingmay engage the Electric parkingbrake to hold the vehicle at a stop.Release the parking brake. A firmpress of the accelerator pedal willalso release Automatic braking andElectric parking brake 3 181.This system includes Intelligent brakeassist, and the Emergency automaticbraking system may also respond topedestrians. See Active emergencybraking 3 203.Automatic braking can be disabled inthe vehicle personalisation menu3 127.

Basic notes on parking assistsystems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances,various reflective surfaces onobjects or clothing as well asexternal noise sources may causethe system to fail to detectobstacles.

Caution

Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors arecovered, e.g. by ice or snow.Performance of the parking assistsystem can be reduced due toheavy loading.


Special conditions apply if thereare taller vehicles in the vicinity(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,vans). Object identification andcorrect distance indication in theupper part of these vehiclescannot be guaranteed.Objects with a very small reflectioncross-section, e.g. objects ofnarrow size or soft materials, maynot be detected by the system.Parking assist systems do notdetect objects outside thedetection range.

NoteIt is possible that the sensor detectsa non-existing object caused byecho disturbance from externalacoustic noise or mechanicalmisalignments (sporadic falsewarnings may occur).Make sure that the front numberplate is properly mounted (not bentand no gaps to the bumper on the leftor right side) and the sensors arefirmly in place.

Advanced parking assist systemmay not respond to changes in theavailable parking space afterinitiating a parking manoeuvre. Thesystem may recognize an entry, agateway, a courtyard or even acrossing as a parking slot. Afterselecting reverse gear the systemwill start a parking manoeuvre. Takecare regarding the availability of thesuggested parking slot.Low curbs and surface irregularities,e.g. on construction zones, are notdetected by the system. The driveraccepts responsibility.NoteNew vehicles require a calibrationduring first use. For optimal parkingguidance, a driving distance of atleast 10 km, including a number ofbends, is required.System is calibrated to factory-fittedwheels. Parking performance isaltered with other tyre or wheelssizes.

Side blind spot alertThe Side blind spot alert systemdetects and reports objects on eitherside of the vehicle, within a specified"blind spot" zone. The systemdisplays a visual alert in each exteriormirror, when detecting objects thatmay not be visible in the interior andexterior mirrors.Side blind spot alert uses some of theadvanced parking assist sensorswhich are located in the front and rearbumper on both sides of the vehicle.

9 Warning

Side blind spot alert does notreplace driver vision.The system does not detect:

● vehicles outside the side blindzones which may be rapidlyapproaching

● pedestrians, cyclists or animalsBefore changing a lane, alwayscheck all mirrors, look over theshoulder and use the turn signal.


When the vehicle is started, bothexterior mirror displays will brieflyilluminate to indicate that the systemis operating.When the system detects a vehicle inthe side blind spot while drivingforwards, either while passing avehicle or being passed, a yellowwarning symbol F will illuminate inthe relevant exterior mirror. If thedriver then activates the turn signal,the warning symbol F startsflashing yellow as a warning not tochange lanes.

NoteIf the overtaking vehicle is at least10 km/h faster than the vehicle beingovertaken, the warning symbol Fin the relevant exterior mirror maynot illuminate.

Side blind spot alert is active fromspeeds of 10 km/h up to 140 km/h.Driving faster than 140 km/hdeactivates the system, indicated bylow lighting warning symbols F inboth exterior mirrors.

Indication of multiple signs on thedisplay is possible.

An exclamation mark in a frameindicates that there is an additionalsign detected which cannot be clearlyidentified by the system.The system operates without loss ofperformance up to a speed of200 km/h depending on the lightingconditions. At night the system isactive up to a speed of 160 km/h.

Display indicationInformation about the currently validtraffic signs is available on thedesignated traffic sign assistant pagein the Driver Information Centre.


Additionally, the currently valid speedlimit is displayed permanently in thelower line of the Driver InformationCentre. In case a speed limit with addon sign is available, a + symbol isdisplayed in this area.

On Baselevel display, choose InfoMenu ? via MENU and selecttraffic sign assistant page with theadjuster wheel on the turn signal lever3 114.

On Mid- or Uplevel display, chooseInfo Menu via right steering wheelbuttons and press å or ä to selecttraffic sign assistant page 3 114.When another page on the DriverInformation Centre menu wasselected and then traffic signassistant page is chosen again, thelast recognised traffic sign will bedisplayed.

Alert functionThe alert function can be activated ordeactivated in the setting menu of thetraffic sign assistant page.

Once activated and when the trafficsign detection page is currently notdisplayed, newly detected speed limitand no passing signs are displayedas pop-up alerts in the DriverInformation Centre.


On Baselevel Display, when trafficsign assistant page is displayed,press SET/CLR on the turn signallever.

Select Alerts ON or Alerts OFF byturning the adjuster wheel and pressSET/CLR.On Mid- or Uplevel Display, whentraffic sign assistant page isdisplayed, press é on the steeringwheel controls.

Activate alerts by setting J,deactivate alerts by setting I viabutton 9.Pop-up alert is displayed for approx.eight seconds in the DriverInformation Centre.

System resetThe content of the traffic sign displaycan be cleared in the setting menu ofthe traffic sign assistant page byselecting Reset and confirm bypressing SET/CLR on the turn signallever or 9 on the steering wheelcontrols.Alternatively, SET/CLR or 9 can bepressed for three seconds to clear thecontent of the page.Upon successful reset, a chime willsound and the following “DefaultSign” is indicated until the next trafficsign is detected or provided by mapdata of the navigation system.

In some cases, traffic sign assistant iscleared up automatically by thesystem.


Clearing of traffic signsThere are different scenarios thatlead to clearing the currentlydisplayed traffic signs. After clearing,the “Default Sign” or a sign fromnavigation map data is displayed inthe Driver Information Centre.Reasons for signs being cleared:● A predefined distance was driven

or time has elapsed (differs foreach sign type)

● Vehicle drives through a turn● If no navigation map data is

available and speed drops below52 km/h (city entry detection)

● If navigation map data isavailable and a city entry/exit wasdetected due to map data change

Traffic sign detection inconjunction with navigationsystemIf the vehicle is equipped with anavigation system, the currentlydisplayed sign can either originatefrom optical sign detection or from themap data.

If the currently displayed signoriginates from map data and the mapinformation changes, a new sign willbe displayed. This may lead todetection of a new sign although nosign on the road may have beenpassed.

System limitationsTraffic sign assistant may not operateproperly when:● Vehicle speed is faster than 200

km/h.● Driving on winding or hilly roads.● During nighttime driving.● Weather limits visibility, such as



● The sun is shining directly intothe camera lens.

● Traffic signs are completely orpartially covered or difficult todiscern.

● Traffic signs are incorrectlymounted or damaged.

● Traffic signs do not comply withthe Vienna Convention on RoadSigns and Signals.

● The navigation map data isoutdated.

Caution

The system is intended to help thedriver within a defined speedrange to discern certain trafficsigns. Do not ignore traffic signswhich are not displayed by thesystem.The system does not discern anyother than the conventional trafficsigns that might give or end aspeed limit.Do not let this special featuretempt you into taking risks whendriving.Always adapt speed to the roadconditions.


The driver assistance systems donot relieve the driver from fullresponsibility for vehicleoperation.

Lane keep assistLane keep assist helps to avoidcrashes due to unintentional lanedepartures. The front cameraobserves the lane markings betweenwhich the vehicle is driving. If thevehicle approaches a lane marking,the steering wheel is gently turned toposition the vehicle back into the lane.Turn steering wheel in samedirection, if system steering is notsufficient. Turn steering wheel gentlyinto opposite direction, if lane changeis intended.When crossing a lane markingsignificantly, lane keep assist starts avisual and acoustic warning.Unintended lane departure isassumed● without using turn signal● using the turn signal in the

opposite direction of the lanedeparture

● without braking● without acceleration● without active steering.NoteThe system is switched off duringdetection of ambiguous lanemarkings, e.g. in construction areas.NoteThe system may be switched off if itdetects lanes which are too narrow,too wide or too curved.

Activation

The lane keep assist is activated bypressing a. The LED in the buttonilluminates to indicate that the systemis switched on.

When the control indicator a in theinstrument cluster or in the head-updisplay illuminates green, the systemis ready to assist.The system is operational at vehiclespeeds between 60 km/h and180 km/h and if lane markings areavailable.The system gently turns the steeringwheel and the control indicator achanges to yellow, if the vehicleapproaches a detected lane markingwithout using the turn signal in thatdirection.The system alerts by flashing atogether with three chimes, from therespective direction, if the lane isdeparted significantly.


The system is only operable when alane marking is detected.If the system only detects lanemarkings on one side of the road, itwill only assist for this side.Lane keep assist detects hands-freedriving. In this case a message in theDriver Information Centre pops-upand a chime sounds as long as lanekeep assist detects hands-freedriving.

DeactivationThe system is deactivated bypressing a; the LED in the buttonextinguishes.The system is deactivatedautomatically when a trailer isdetected.

System limitationsThe system performance may notoperate properly when:● Vehicle speed is out of range

from 60 to 180 km/h.● Driving on winding or hilly roads.● During nighttime driving.

● Weather limits visibility, such asfog, rain, or snow.

● The sensor in the windscreen isblocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,dirt, windscreen damage oraffected by foreign items, e.g.stickers.

● The sun is shining directly intothe camera lens.

● Close vehicles ahead● Banked roads● Road edges● Roads with poor lane markings● Sudden lighting changes● Vehicle modifications, e.g. tyres.

Switch off the system if the system isdisturbed by tar marks, shadows,road cracks, temporary orconstruction lane markings, or otherroad imperfections.

9 Warning

Always keep your attention on theroad and maintain proper vehicleposition within the lane, otherwisevehicle damage, injury or deathcould occur.Lane keep assist does notcontinuously steer the vehicle.The system may not keep thevehicle in the lane or give an alert,even if a lane marking is detected.The steering of the lane keepassist may not be sufficient toavoid a lane departure.The system may not detect hands-off driving due to externalinfluences (road condition andsurface, weather etc). The driverhas full responsibility to control thevehicle and is always required tokeep the hands on the steeringwheel while driving.Using the system while towing atrailer or on slippery roads couldcause loss of control of the vehicleand a crash. Switch the system off.


FuelFuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orequivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. A lower octane ratingcan reduce engine power and torqueand slightly increases fuelconsumption.

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 equivalent can lead todeposits or engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octanerating than the lowest possiblerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirementsregarding octane rating are given inthe engine data overview 3 294. Acountry-specific label at the fuel fillerflap can supersede the requirement.

Fuel additives outside EuropeFuel should contain detergentadditives that help prevent engineand fuel system deposits fromforming. Clean fuel injectors andintake valves will allow the emissioncontrol system to work properly.Some fuel does not contain sufficientquantities of additive to keep fuelinjectors and intake valves clean.To make up for this lack ofdetergency, add Fuel SystemTreatment PLUS to the fuel tank atevery engine oil change or every15,000 km, whichever occurs first. Itis available at your workshop.Fuels containing oxygenates such asethers and ethanol, as well asreformulated fuel, are available insome cities. If these fuels comply withthe previously describedspecification, then they areacceptable to use. However, E85(85% ethanol) and other fuelscontaining more than 15% ethanolmust be used only in FlexFuelvehicles.


Caution

Do not use fuel containingmethanol. It can corrode metalparts in the fuel system and alsodamage plastic and rubber parts.This damage would not becovered by the vehicle warranty.

Some fuels, mainly high octaneracing fuels, can contain an octaneenhancing additive calledmethylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use fuels orfuel additives with MMT as they canreduce spark plug life and affectemission control systemperformance. The malfunctionindicator light Z mayilluminate3 109. If this occurs, seekthe assistance of a workshop.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590 and which has a sulphurconcentration of max. 10 ppm.Fuels with a biodiesel (compliant withEN 14214) content of max. 7% byvolume may be used (e.g. namedB7).If travelling in countries outside theEuropean Union occasional use ofEuro-Diesel fuel with a sulphurconcentration below 50 ppm ispossible.

Caution

Frequent usage of diesel fuelcontaining more than 15 ppmsulphur will cause severe enginedamage.

Caution

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

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

Low temperature operationAt temperatures below 0° C, somediesel products with biodiesel blendsmay clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect the fuel supply system. Startingand engine operation may not workproperly. Make sure to fill wintergrade diesel fuel at ambienttemperatures below 0°C.Arctic grade diesel fuel can be usedin extreme cold temperatures below-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warmor hot climates is not recommended


and may cause engine stalling, poorstarting or damage on the fuelinjection system.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch offignition and any external heaterswith combustion chambers.Follow the operating and safetyinstructions of the filling stationwhen refuelling.

9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.No smoking. No naked flames orsparks.If you can smell fuel in yourvehicle, have the cause of thisremedied immediately by aworkshop.

A label with symbols at the fuel fillerflap is indicating the allowed fueltypes. In Europe the pump nozzles ofthe filling stations are marked withthese symbols. Refuel only theallowed fuel type.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do notswitch on ignition.

Fuel filler flap is located at right rearside of vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked. Release thefuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

Petrol and Diesel refuelling


Place the nozzle in straight position tothe filler neck and press with slightforce to insert.To refuel, switch on pump nozzle.After the automatic cut-off, the tankcan be topped up by operating thepump nozzle a maximum of two moretimes.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuelimmediately.

Close the flap and allow it to engage.

Misfuel inhibitor

9 Warning

Do not try to open the flap of thefuel filler neck manually onvehicles with misfuel inhibitor.Disregarding this could lead totrapping of the fingers.

All vehicles are equipped with amisfuel inhibitor.

The misfuel inhibitor ensures that theflap of the fuel filler neck can only beopened by using the suitable fuelnozzle or a funnel for emergencyrefilling.In case of an emergency, refill with acanister. A funnel must be used toopen the cap of the filler neck.

The funnel may be stowed in the loadcompartment or the glovebox.Place the funnel in straight position tothe filler neck and press with slightforce to insert.After topping-up, clean funnel fromfuel remains and stow it away.


Trailer hitchGeneral informationThe factory-fitted towing equipment isfolded up under the rear bumperfascia.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment. Only usetowing equipment that has beenapproved for your vehicle.To avoid vehicle damage, the powertailgate cannot be operated with theelectronic key when a trailer iselectrically connected.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.

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.During trailer towing do not exceed aspeed of 80 km/h. A maximum speedof 100 km/h is only appropriate if anoscillation damper is used and thepermissible gross trailer weight doesnot exceed the vehicle’s kerb weight.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers, the use of anoscillation damper is stronglyrecommended.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 3 304.

Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe 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 12%.The permissible trailer load appliesup to the specified incline and at sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of altitude. Thegross train weight does not have to bereduced when driving on roads withslight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.motorways).


The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 289.

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 of:● 60 kg (Grand Sport with all

engines except B20DTH /B20NFT / D20DTR)

● 75 kg (Sports Tourer, CountryTourer with all engines exceptB20DTH / B20NFT / D20DTR)

● 90 kg (All bodystyles withengines B20DTH / B20NFT /D20DTR)

is specified on the towing equipmentidentification plate and in the vehicledocuments. Always aim for themaximum load, especially in the caseof heavy trailers. The vertical couplingload should 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 by70 kg (engines B20DTH: 80 kg), thegross vehicle weight rating must notbe exceeded. If the permissible rearaxle load is exceeded, a maximumspeed of 100 km/h applies.

Towing equipment

Caution

The folding coupling ball barcannot be removed from thevehicle. When driving without atrailer, fold in the coupling ball bar.

T : up to 190 km/hH : up to 210 km/hV : up to 240 km/hW : up to 270 km/h

Choose a tyre appropriate for themaximum speed of your vehicle.The maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus125 kg payload. Optional equipmentcould reduce the maximum speed ofthe vehicle.Performance 3 296.

Directional tyresDirectional tyres should be mountedso that they rotate in the correctdirection. The proper rotationdirection is indicated by a symbol(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

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.

Tyre pressure 3 304.The tyre pressure information labelon the left 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.Make sure tyre loading settingmatches the current tyre pressure.Tyre loading 3 265.

Vehicle care 265

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 drive axle and body style.2. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 294.3. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 304.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.

After adjusting tyre pressure, selectthe according tyre loading setting onthe page Tyre load in the DriverInformation Centre, 3 114.

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

values provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly10 kPa 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 just about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

266 Vehicle care

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

Select the Tyre pressure monitoringpage under the Info Menu in theDriver Information Centre 3 114.

System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a messageindicating the corresponding tyre inthe Driver Information Centre.

The system considers the tyretemperature and the tyre loadingsetting for the warnings.Tyre loading setting, see below in thischapter.Temperature dependency 3 264.Baselevel display: If the pressure of atyre decreases significantly, therespective tyre pressure value isdisplayed inverted.Midlevel and uplevel display: Tyrepressure values in normal range areshown in green letters. If the pressureof a tyre decreases significantly, therespective value will turn its colour toamber.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by the controlindicator w 3 111.

If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 304.Ensure that vehicle loading statusmatches selected tyre pressure.Vehicle loading status, see below inthis chapter.After inflating, some driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w maycontinue to illuminate.If w illuminates at lower temperaturesand extinguishes after some driving,this could be an indicator forapproaching a low tyre pressurecondition. Check tyre pressure.Vehicle messages 3 125.Only mount wheels with pressuresensors, otherwise the tyre pressurewill not be displayed and willuminates continuously.A spare wheel or temporary sparewheel is not equipped with pressuresensors.

Auto learn functionAfter changing wheels or wheelpositions the vehicle must bestationary for approx. 20 minutes,before the system recalculates. Thefollowing relearn process takes up to10 minutes of driving in a speed rangeof 40 to 100 km/h. Avoid to driveoutside of this range for a longer time.If possible, use a country road orsimilar which allows continuousdriving. During relearn process $can be displayed or pressure valuescan swap in the Driver InformationCentre.If problems occur during the relearnprocess, a failure message isdisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre. w will flash for 60 secondsand then illuminate continuously.

268 Vehicle care

If this happens, repeat learningprocess. Keep your vehicle stationaryfor approx. 20 minutes and then driveagain for 10 minutes as describedabove.

Tread depthCheck tread depth at regularintervals.Tyres should be replaced for safetyreasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm(4 mm for winter tyres).For safety reasons, it isrecommended that the tread depth ofthe tyres on one axle should not varyby more than 2 mm.

The legally permissible minimumtread depth (1.6 mm) has beenreached when the tread has worndown as far as one of the tread wearindicators (TWI). Their position isindicated by markings on thesidewall.If there is more wear at the front thanthe rear, swap round front wheels andrear wheels periodically. Ensure thatthe direction of rotation of the wheelsremains the same.Tyres age, even if they are not used.We recommend tyre replacementevery 6 years.

Changing tyre and wheelsizeIf tyres of a different size than thosefitted at the factory are used, it may benecessary to reprogramme thespeedometer as well as the nominaltyre pressure and make other vehiclemodifications.

After converting to a different tyresize, have the label with tyrepressures replaced and the tyrepressure monitoring systemreinitialised. 3 265

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.Insert cap with the upper flange intothe recess and fix cap by pushing.

Appearance careExterior careLocksThe locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylindergrease. Use a de-icing agent onlywhen absolutely necessary, as thishas a degreasing effect and impairslock function. After using a de-icingagent, 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.

282 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.Wax painted parts of the vehicleregularly.Clean edges and folds on openeddoors and the bonnet as well as theareas they cover.Clean bright metal mouldings with acleaning solution approved foraluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

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

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.Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.Do not use hard objects to removespots of tar. Use tar removal spray onpainted surfaces.

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.Clean smearing wiper blades with asoft cloth and window cleaner.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.

Vehicle care 283

Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

SunroofNever clean with solvents or abrasiveagents, fuels, aggressive media(e.g. paint cleaner, acetone-containing solutions etc.), acidic orhighly alkaline media or abrasivepads. Do not apply wax or polishingagents to the sunroof.

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.

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.

284 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.

Service and maintenance 287

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities must be used.Recommendations for petrol enginesare also valid for Compressed NaturalGas (CNG), Liquified Petroleum Gas(LPG) and Ethanol (E85) fuelledengines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 291.

Topping up engine oil

Caution

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it upand dispose it properly.

Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.

Use of engine oils for all petrolengines with only ACEA quality isprohibited, since it can cause enginedamage under certain operatingconditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 291.

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

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation on 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 3 291.

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. Incold regions 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.

288 Service and maintenance

Washer fluidUse only washer fluid approved forthe vehicle to prevent damage ofwiper blades, paintwork, plastic andrubber parts. Consult a workshop.

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

AdBlueOnly use AdBlue to reduce thenitrogen oxides in the exhaustemission 3 172.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersElectronic control units are installed inyour vehicle. Control units processdata which is received by vehiclesensors, for example, or which theygenerate themselves or exchangeamongst themselves. Some controlunits are necessary for the safefunctioning of your vehicle, othersassist you while you drive (driverassistance systems), while othersprovide comfort or infotainmentfunctions.

Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data foroperation of the vehicle.

This data includes, for example:● Vehicle status information (e.g.

wheel rotation rate, speed,movement delay, lateralacceleration, "seatbeltsfastened" display),

● Ambient conditions (e.g.temperature, rain sensor,distance sensor).

Most of this data is volatile and isprocessed only in the vehicle itself,and not beyond the operating time.Moreover, many control units includedata storage device (amongst othersthe vehicle key). This is used to allowinformation to be documentedtemporarily or permanently on vehiclecondition, component stress,maintenance requirements andtechnical events and errors.The following information, forexample, is stored:● System component operating

states (e.g. fill level, tyrepressure, battery status),

● State of charge of the highvoltage battery, estimated range(in the case of electric vehicles),


● Faults and defects in importantsystem components (e.g. lights,brakes),

● System reactions in specialdriving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of thestability control systems),

● Information on events damagingthe vehicle.

In special cases (e.g. if the vehiclehas detected a malfunction), it may benecessary to save data that wouldotherwise just be volatile.When you use services, the operatingdata saved can be read together withthe vehicle identification number andused if necessary. Staff working forthe service net-work (e.g. garages,manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read thedata from the vehicle. Servicesinclude repair services, maintenanceprocesses, warranty cases andquality assurance measures.Data is generally read via the OBD(On-Board Diagnostics) portprescribed by law in the vehicle. Theoperating data which has been readout documents the technical condition

of the vehicle or individualcomponents and assists with faultdiagnosis, compliance with warrantyobligations and quality improvement.This data, in particular information oncomponent stress, technical events,operator errors and other faults, istransmitted to the manufacturerwhere appropriate, together with thevehicle identification number. Themanufacturer is also subject toproduct liability. The manufacturerpotentially also needs operating datafrom vehicles for product recalls.Fault memories in the vehicle can bereset by a service company whencarrying out servicing or repairs.

Comfort and infotainmentfunctionsComfort settings and custom settingscan be stored in the vehicle andchanged at any time.

Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● Seat and steering wheel position

settings,● Chassis and air conditioning

settings,● Custom settings such as interior

lighting.You can input your own data in theinfotainment functions for yourvehicle as part of the selectedfeatures.Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● Multimedia data such as music,

videos or photos for playback inan integrated multimedia system,

● Address book data for use withan integrated hands-free systemor an integrated navigationsystem,

● Input destinations,● Data on the use of online

services.This data for comfort andinfotainment functions can be storedlocally in the vehicle or be kept on a


device that you have connected to thevehicle (e.g. a smartphone, USB stickor MP3 player). Data that you haveinput yourself can be deleted at anytime.This data can only be transmitted outof the vehicle at your request,particularly when using onlineservices in accordance with thesettings selected by you.

Smartphone integration, e.g.Android Auto or Apple CarPlayIf your vehicle is equippedaccordingly, you can connect yoursmartphone or another mobile deviceto the vehicle so that you can controlit via the controls integrated in thevehicle. The smartphone image andsound can be output via themultimedia system in this case. At thesame time, specific information istransmitted to your smartphone.Depending on the type of integration,this includes data such as positiondata, day / night mode and othergeneral vehicle information. For more

information, please see the operatinginstructions for the vehicle /infotainment system.Integration allows selectedsmartphone apps to be used, such asnavigation or music playback. Nofurther integration is possiblebetween smartphone and vehicle, inparticular active access to vehicledata. The nature of further dataprocessing is determined by theprovider of the app used. Whetheryou can define settings, and if sowhich ones, is dependent on the appin question and your smartphone'soperating system.

Online servicesIf your vehicle has a radio networkconnection, this allows data to beexchanged between your vehicle andother systems. The radio networkconnection is made possible bymeans of a transmitter device in yourvehicle or a mobile device providedby you (e.g. a smartphone). Onlinefunctions can be used via this radionetwork connection. These includeonline services and applications /apps provided to you by themanufacturer or other providers.

Services of the manufacturerIn the case of the manufacturer'sonline services, the relevant functionsare described by the manufacturer inan appropriate location (e.g. Owner'sManual, the manufacturer's website)and the associated data protectioninformation is provided. Personaldata may be used to provide onlineservices. Data exchange for thispurpose takes place via a protectedconnection, e.g. using themanufacturer's IT systems providedfor the purpose. Collection,


processing and use of personal datafor the purposes of preparation ofservices take place solely on thebasis of legal permission, e.g. in thecase of the eCall emergencycommunication system or acontractual agreement, or by virtue ofconsent.You can activate or deactivate theservices and functions (which aresubject to charges to some extent)and, in some cases, the vehicle'sentire radio network connection. Inparticular, this does not includestatutory functions and services suchas eCall.

Third party servicesIf you make use of online servicesfrom other providers (third parties),these services are subject to theliability and data protection and usageconditions of the provider in question.The manufacturer frequently has noinfluence over the content exchangedin this regard.

Therefore, please note the nature,scope and purpose of the collectionand use of personal data within thescope of third party services providedby the service provider in question.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls andelectronic keys for door locking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicletransmitters for garage door openers.RFID technology in Opel vehiclesdoes not use or record personalinformation or link with any other Opelsystem containing personalinformation.
