Press the start button.
Stopping the engine when the vehicle
is moving
WARNING
Switching off the engine when the
vehicle is still moving will result in a
loss of brake and steering assistance.
The steering will not be locked, but higher
effort will be required. When the ignition is
switched off some electrical circuits,
warning lamps and indicators may also be
OFF. Press and hold the start button for two
seconds, or press three times within three
seconds.
Press the start button.
See Keyless Starting (page 129).
Diesel particulate filter (DPF) WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard. See Diesel Particulate Filter (page 130).
Fuel filler flap Press the flap to open it. Open the flap fully
until it engages.
Insert the fuel nozzle up to and including
the first notch on the nozzle A. Keep it
resting on the cover of the fuel pipe
opening.

filters harmful diesel particulates (soot)
from the exhaust gas.

Starting and Stopping the EngineE87381 E85767

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Regeneration
WARNING
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The DPF
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after DPF regeneration, and
after you have switched the engine off.
This is a potential fire hazard. CAUTION
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:
During regeneration at low speed or
engine idle, you may smell a hot metallic
odour and could notice a clicking metallic
sound. This is due to the high temperatures
reached during regeneration and is normal.
Note: After you have switched your engine
off the fans may continue to run for a short
period of time.
Unlike a normal filter which requires
periodic replacement, the DPF has been
designed to regenerate, or clean itself to
maintain operating efficiency. The
regeneration process takes place
automatically. However, some driving
conditions mean that you may need to
support the regeneration process.
If you drive only short distances or your
journeys contain frequent stopping and
starting, where there is increased
acceleration and deceleration, occasional
trips with the following conditions will
assist the regeneration process: •
Drive your vehicle at a constant speed,
preferably on a main road or motorway,
for up to 20 minutes.
• Avoid prolonged idling and always
observe speed limits and road
conditions.
• Do not switch off the ignition.
• Use a lower gear than normal to
maintain a higher engine speed during
this journey, where appropriate.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Vehicles with a turbocharger CAUTION
Do not switch the engine off when it
is running at high speed. If you do, the
turbocharger will continue running
after the engine oil pressure has dropped
to zero. This will lead to premature
turbocharger bearing wear. Release the accelerator pedal. Wait until
the engine has reached idle speed and then
switch it off.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER
CAUTION
Make sure you disconnect the power
cable from the engine heater
connector before driving away.
Note:
The engine heater connector is
located in the front bumper.

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 1500 kilometres (1000 miles)
on motorways. Engine
CAUTION
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1500 kilometres (1000 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
millimetres (8 inches) 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.
