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.

Exhaust filterAutomatic cleaning processThe exhaust 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 7 and 12 minutes.Autostop is not available and fuelconsumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process isnormal.

System requires manual cleaningprocessUnder certain driving conditions, e.g.driving short distances, the systemcannot clean 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 when exhaust filter is full.Start cleaning process as soon aspossible.% flashes along with a warningmessage when exhaust filter hasreached the maximum filling level.Start cleaning process immediately toavoid damage to the engine.

Activate manual cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 rpm. Shift down ifnecessary. Exhaust filter cleaning isthen 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.

P illuminates in thetransmission display to indicate thatthe sensor matching process can bestarted.Tyre pressure monitoring system3 192.

Manual modeIf a higher gear is selected when theengine speed is too low, or a lowergear when the speed is too high, theshift is not executed. This preventsthe engine from running at too low ortoo high an engine speed. A warningmessage is displayed in the DriverInformation Centre.Vehicle messages 3 100.If engine speed is too low, thetransmission automatically shifts to alower gear.If engine speed is too high, thetransmission only switches to a highergear via kickdown.When + or - is selected in automaticmode, the transmission switches tomanual mode and shifts accordingly.

Gear shift indicationThe symbol R, with a numberalongside it, is indicated whengearshifting is recommended for fuelsaving reasons.Shift indication appears only inmanual mode.

Electronic drivingprogrammes● Following a cold start, the

operating temperatureprogramme increases enginespeed to quickly bring thecatalytic converter to the requiredtemperature.

● The adaptive programme tailorsgearshifting to the drivingconditions, e.g. greater load orgradients.

KickdownIf the accelerator pedal is presseddown completely in automatic mode,the transmission shifts to a lower geardepending on engine speed.

FaultTo prevent damage to the manualtransmission automated, the clutch isengaged automatically at high clutchtemperatures.


In the event of a fault, control indicatorg illuminates. Additionally, awarning message is displayed in theDriver Information Centre.Vehicle messages 3 100.Continued driving is restricted or notpossible, depending on the fault.Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.

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 90.

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 91.

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

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.Special attention must be paid tolow obstacles which can damagethe lower part of the bumper.

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 and

correct 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, a


gateway, 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.Surface irregularities, e.g. onconstruction zones, are not detectedby the system. The driver acceptsresponsibility.NoteIf engaging a forward gear andexceeding a certain speed, theparking assist will be deactivatedwhen the rear carrier system isextended.If engaging reverse for the first time,the parking assist will detect the rearcarrier system and provide anacoustic signal. Press r or Dbriefly to deactivate the parkingassist.NoteAfter production, the systemrequires a calibration. For optimalparking guidance, a driving distanceof at least 10 km, including a numberof bends, is required.

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 light.

When the system detects a vehicle inthe side blind zone while drivingforwards, either while passing avehicle or being passed, a yellowwarning symbol B will illuminate inthe relevant exterior mirror. If thedriver then activates the turn lights,the warning symbol B starts flashingyellow as a warning not to changelanes.NoteIf the overtaking vehicle is at least10 km/h faster than the vehicle beingovertaken, the warning symbol B inthe relevant exterior mirror may notilluminate.


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 B inboth exterior mirrors. Reducing thespeed again will extinguish thewarning symbols. If a vehicle is thendetected in the blind zone, thewarning symbols B will illuminate asnormal on the relevant side.When the vehicle is started, bothexterior mirror displays will brieflyilluminate to indicate that the systemis operating.The system can be activated ordeactivated in the Info Display.Vehicle personalisation 3 103.Deactivation is indicated by amessage in the Driver InformationCentre.

Detection zonesThe detection zones start at the rearbumper and extend approx. 3 mrearwards and to the sides. Theheight of the zone is between approx.0.5 m and 2 m off the ground.

The system is deactivated if thevehicle is towing a trailer.Side blind spot alert is designed toignore stationary objects, e.g.guardrails, posts, curbs, walls andbeams. Parked vehicles or oncomingvehicles are not detected.

FaultOccasional missed alerts can occurunder normal circumstances and willincrease in wet conditions.Side blind spot alert does not operatewhen the left or right corners of therear bumper are covered with mud,dirt, snow, ice, slush, or in heavyrainstorms.Cleaning instructions 3 212.In the event of a fault in the system orif the system does not work due totemporary conditions, a message isdisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre.

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 3 224. Acountry-specific label at the fuel fillerflap can supersede the requirement.

Fuel additiveFuel should contain detergentadditives that help prevent engineand fuel system deposits fromforming. Clean fuel injectors andintake valves will allow the emissioncontrol system to work properly. Incertain countries fuel does notcontain sufficient quantities ofadditive to keep fuel injectors andintake valves clean. In thesecountries a fuel additive is required forsome engines to make up for this lackof detergency. Only use fuel additiveapproved for the vehicle.Adding fuel additive to the filled fueltank is required at least every 15,000km or after one year, whicheveroccurs first. For further information,contact your workshop.

Prohibited fuelsFuels 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 may illuminate 3 90.If this occurs, seek the assistance ofa workshop.


Fuel for liquid gas operation

Liquid gas is known as LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or underits French name GPL (Gaz de PétroleLiquéfié). LPG is also known asAutogas.LPG consists mainly of propane andbutane. The octane rating is between105 and 115, depending on thebutane proportion. LPG is storedliquid at around 5-10 bar pressure.The boiling point depends on thepressure and mixing ratio. At ambientpressure, it is between -42 °C (purepropane) and -0.5 °C (pure butane).

Caution

The system works at an ambienttemperature of approx. -8 °C to100 °C.

Full function of the LPG system canonly be guaranteed with liquid gaswhich complies with the minimumrequirements of DIN EN 589.Fuel selector 3 83.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off theignition.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.

The jack, the wheel bolt wrench, thetools and two straps for securing adamaged wheel are in the tool boxbelow the load compartment floorcover 3 68.

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel conditionDrive over edges slowly and at rightangles if possible. Driving over sharpedges can cause tyre and wheeldamage. Do not trap tyres on the kerbwhen parking.Regularly check the wheels fordamage. Seek the assistance of aworkshop in the event of damage orunusual wear.We recommend not swapping thefront wheels with the rear wheels andvice versa, as this can affect vehiclestability. Always use less worn tyreson the rear axle.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.All tyre sizes are permitted as wintertyres 3 230.Tyre size 185/60 R 15 is onlypermitted as winter tyre.

In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Tyre designationsE.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H195 : tyre width, mm55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %R : belt type: RadialRF : type: RunFlat16 : wheel diameter, inches95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 kgH : speed code letter

Speed code letter:Q : up to 160 km/hS : up to 180 km/hT : 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.

Vehicle care 191

The maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus125 kg payload. Optional equipmentcould reduce the maximum speed ofthe vehicle.Performance 3 226.

Directional tyresDirectional tyres must be mounted sothat 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 vehicles with tyrepressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure 3 230.The tyre pressure information labelon the right door frame indicates theoriginal equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 230.Identify the respective tyre.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.

192 Vehicle care

If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition. Afteradjusting tyre pressure switch onignition and select the relevant settingon the page Tyre load in the DriverInformation Centre 3 94.

Temperature dependencyThe tyre pressure depends on thetemperature of the tyre. Duringdriving, tyre temperature andpressure increase. Tyre pressurevalues 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 tyresonce a minute when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring systemwarns only about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

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.

The current tyre pressures can beshown in the Vehicle InformationMenu in the Driver InformationCentre.

The menu can be selected bypressing the buttons on the stalk.

Press MENU to select the VehicleInformation MenuX.

Vehicle care 193

Turn the adjuster wheel to select thetyre pressure monitoring system.System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a message with thecorresponding tyre flashing in theDriver Information Centre.The system considers the tyretemperature for the warnings.Temperature dependency 3 191.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by the controlindicator w 3 92.If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 230.

If w flashes for 60-90 seconds thenilluminates continuously, there is afault in the system. Consult aworkshop.After inflating, some driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w mayilluminate.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 3 100.If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.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. The tyre pressuremonitoring system is not operationalfor these tyres. Control indicator w

illuminates. For the further threetyres, the system remainsoperational.The use of commercially-availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.Operating electronic devices or beingclose to facilities using similar wavefrequencies could disrupt the tyrepressure monitoring system.Each time the tyres are replaced, tyrepressure monitoring system sensorsmust be dismounted and serviced.For the screwed sensor; replacevalve core and sealing ring. For theclipped sensor; replace completevalve stem.

Vehicle loading statusAdjust tyre pressure to load conditionaccording to the tyre information labelor tyre pressure chart 3 230, andselect the appropriate setting in themenu Tyre Load in the DriverInformation Centre, VehicleInformation Menu 3 94. This setting isthe reference for the tyre pressurewarnings.

Tyre pressure sensor matchingprocessEach pressure sensor has a uniqueidentification code. The identificationcode must be matched to a new tyre /wheel position after rotating the tyresor exchanging the complete wheel setand if one or more pressure sensorswere replaced. The pressure sensormatching process should also beperformed after replacing a spare tyrewith a road tyre containing thepressure sensor.The malfunction light w and thewarning message or code should gooff at the next ignition cycle. Thesensors are matched to the wheelpositions, using a relearn tool, in thefollowing order: left side front wheel,right side front wheel, right side rearwheel and left side rear wheel. Theturn light at the current active positionis illuminated until sensor is matched.Consult a workshop for service. Thereare 2 minutes to match the first wheelposition, and 5 minutes overall tomatch all four wheel positions. If ittakes longer, the matching processstops and must be restarted.

The tyre pressure sensor matchingprocess is:1. Apply the parking brake.2. Turn the ignition on.3. On vehicles with manual

transmission automated: Pressand hold brake pedal. Move andhold the selector lever for5 minutes in position N until P isdisplayed in the DriverInformation Centre. P indicatesthat the sensor matching processcan be started.On vehicles with manualtransmission: select neutral.

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.

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities have to 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 221.

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.

218 Service and maintenance

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 221.

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

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of 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 3 221.

All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only silicate-free long life coolant(LLC) antifreeze. Consult aworkshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. Innorthern countries 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.

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.

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 immobiliser.It is also used in connection withconveniences such as radio remotecontrols for door locking / unlockingand starting. RFID technology in Opelvehicles does not use or recordpersonal information or link with anyother Opel system containingpersonal information.
