Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres (5
miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.
Starting the engine by towing or
pushing
WARNING
To prevent damage you must not
push or tow start your vehicle. Use
booster cables and a booster battery.
See Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
197). IGNITION SWITCH
WARNING
Never return the key to position 0 or
I when the vehicle is in motion.
0 The ignition is off.
I The ignition and all main electrical circuits
are disabled.
Note:
Do not leave the ignition key in this
position for too long to avoid discharging
the battery. II The ignition is switched on. All electrical
circuits are operational. Warning lamps
and indicators illuminate. This is the key
position when driving. You must also select
it when being towed.
III The starter motor is activated. Release
the key as soon as the engine starts.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK
WARNING
Always check that the steering is
unlocked before attempting to move
your vehicle.
Vehicles without keyless starting
To activate the steering wheel lock;
1. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
2. Turn the steering wheel.
Vehicles with keyless starting
Note: The steering wheel lock will not
activate when the ignition is on or the
vehicle is moving.
Your vehicle has an electronically
controlled steering wheel lock. This
operates automatically.
The steering wheel lock will activate after
a short period of time once you have
parked your vehicle and the passive key is
outside of the vehicle, or when you lock the
vehicle. See Keyless Entry (page 43).
Deactivating the steering wheel lock
Switch the ignition on, or:
Vehicles with automatic transmission

Starting and Stopping the EngineE72128

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.

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CAUTIONS
Do not push-start or tow-start your
vehicle. Use booster cables. See
Jump-Starting the Vehicle (page
197). Do not switch the ignition off when
driving.
FUEL FILLER FLAP
WARNINGS
Take care when refuelling to avoid
spilling any residual fuel from the fuel
nozzle.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking. CAUTION
If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the fuel
filler flap briefly from a distance not
less than 200 millimetres (8 inches). Note:
The sliding door is inhibited from
opening fully when the fuel filler flap is open. 1.
Press the flap to open it. Open the flap
fully until it engages. Note:
When you insert the fuel nozzle, a
spring loaded inhibitor will open if the
correct size nozzle is detected. This helps
to avoid filling up with the wrong fuel.
2. 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. WARNING
Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzle
stops the second time. Additional
fuel will fill the expansion space in
the fuel tank which could lead to fuel
overflowing. Fuel spillage could be
hazardous to other road users. 137

Note:
Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
may flash if you brake heavily.
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal and
often does not indicate a concern. In normal
operation, the system may emit occasional
or intermittent squeal or groan noises when
the brakes are applied. Such noises are
usually caused by environmental conditions
such as cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt
or mud.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the film
of water.
ABS WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering
and directional stability when you brake
heavily in an emergency, by preventing the
road wheels from locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal
will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure
on the brake pedal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers
inherent when:
•
you drive too close to the vehicle in
front of you.
• the vehicle is aquaplaning. •
you take corners too fast.
• the road surface is poor.
PARKING BRAKE WARNING
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should always be left
with the selector lever in position P
(Park). •
Press the foot brake pedal firmly.
• Pull the parking brake lever up smartly
to its fullest extent.
• Do not press the release button while
pulling the lever up.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing uphill, select first gear or P
(Park) and turn the steering wheel
away from the kerb.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing downhill, select reverse gear or
P (Park) and turn the steering wheel
towards the kerb.
To release the parking brake, press the
brake pedal firmly, pull the lever up slightly,
depress the release button and push the
lever down.
