WARNING
ESP does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.

B
The ESP supports stability when the
vehicle starts to slide away from your
intended path. This is performed by
braking individual wheels and reducing
engine torque as needed.
The system also provides an enhanced
traction control function by reducing
engine torque if the wheels spin when you
accelerate. This improves your ability to
pull away on slippery roads or loose
surfaces, and improves comfort by limiting
wheel spin in hairpin bends. Stability control (ESP) warning lamp
The ESP warning lamp will flash when the
system is operating. See
Warning
lamps and indicators (page 64).
Emergency brake assist WARNING
Emergency brake assist does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
drive with due care and attention.
Emergency brake assist will detect when
you brake heavily by measuring the rate
at which you press the brake pedal. It will
provide maximum braking efficiency as
long as you press the pedal. Emergency
brake assist can reduce stopping
distances in critical situations.
Trailer stability control
WARNINGS
Trailer stability control does not
relieve you of your responsibility to
tow with due care and attention.
Disabling ESP will turn off the
system.
Trailer stability control is an enhanced
feature of ESP, and automatically detects
when an attached trailer starts to sway.
If this situation occurs, the system will
automatically brake individual wheels to
stabilise the trailer and vehicle. In case a
very severe sway is detected, the engine
torque will be reduced and the vehicle will
be slowed automatically.
USING STABILITY CONTROL
Note:The system will be switched on
automatically every time you switch the ignition on.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or rear fitted
accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Note:On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (orlighting boards) are connected to the13-pin socket via a trailer tow module wehave approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicleis fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the sidewall remains constant for three seconds,the tone will switch off. As you continue,the inner sensors will detect rearwardobjects.
USING THE PARKING AID
Switching the parking aid on
and off
Note:
The parking aid switches off
automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).
Note:The front and rear sensors are
always activated or deactivated together.
The parking aid is per default off. To
switch the parking aid on, press the switch
in the instrument panel or select reverse
gear.
The light in the switch illuminates when
the parking aid is activated.
To turn it off, press the switch again.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The camera is a visual aid for use when
reversing.
WARNING
The camera does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
CAUTIONS
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
camera briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Do not apply pressure to the camera.
The position and the angle of the
camera automatically changes.
Note:Keep the camera free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects, degreaser, wax or organicproducts. Use only a soft cloth.
During operation, guide lines appear in
the display which represent your vehicle's
path and approximate distance from
rearward objects.
USING THE REAR VIEW
CAMERA WARNINGS
The operation of the camera may
vary depending on the ambient
temperature, vehicle and road
conditions. The distances shown in the display
may differ from the actual distance.
Do not place objects in front of the
camera. The camera is located on the luggage
compartment lid near the handle.
Activating the rear view camera
CAUTION
The camera may not detect objects
that are close to the vehicle.
With the ignition and the audio unit
switched on, engage reverse gear. The
image is displayed on the screen.
The camera may not operate correctly in
the following conditions:
•
Dark areas.
• Intense light.
• If the ambient temperature increases
or decreases rapidly.
• If the camera is wet, for example in
rain or high humidity.
• If the camera's view is obstructed, for

RUNNING-IN
Tyres
WARNING
New tyres need to be run-in for
approximately 500 kilometres (300
miles). During this time, you may
experience different driving
characteristics. Brakes and clutch
WARNING
Avoid heavy use of the brakes and
clutch if possible for the first 150
kilometres (100 miles) in town and
for the first 1 500 kilometres (1 000 miles)
on motorways. Engine
CAUTION
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1 500 kilometres (1 000 miles). Vary
your speed frequently and change
up through the gears early. Do not labour
the engine. COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be
affected at temperatures below -30°C
(-22°F). DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Driving through water CAUTIONS
Drive through water in an emergency
only, and not as part of normal
driving.
Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
In an emergency, the vehicle can be
driven through water to a maximum depth
of 200 mm and at a maximum speed of
10 km/h (6 mph). Extra caution should be
exercised when driving through flowing
water.
When driving in water, maintain a low
speed and do not stop the vehicle. After
driving through water, and as soon as it
is safe to do so:
•
Depress the brake pedal lightly and
check that full brake function is
achieved.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the vehicle's lights are fully
operational.
• Check the power assistance
of the steering system.
