HINTS ON CONTROLLING THE
INTERIOR CLIMATE
General Hints
Note:Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to fog up.
Note:A small amount of air may be feltfrom the footwell air vents regardless of theair distribution setting.
Note:To reduce humidity build-up insideyour vehicle, do not drive with the systemswitched off or with recirculated air alwaysswitched on.
Note:Do not place objects under the frontseats as this may interfere with the airflowto the rear seats.
Note:Remove any snow, ice or leaves fromthe air intake area at the base of thewindshield.
Manual Climate Control
Note:To reduce fogging of the windshieldduring humid weather, adjust the airdistribution control to the windshield airvents position. Increase the temperatureand fan speed to improve clearing, ifrequired.
Automatic Climate Control
Note:Do not adjust the settings when yourvehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. Thesystem automatically adjusts to thepreviously stored settings. For the systemto function efficiently, the instrument paneland side air vents should be fully open.
Note:At low ambient temperatures withAUTO selected, the air stream is directedtoward the windshield and side windowsfor as long as the engine remains cold.
Note:When the system is switched off,outside air is prevented from entering yourvehicle.
Note:When the system is in AUTO modeand the interior and exterior temperaturesare high, the system automatically selectsrecirculated air to maximize cooling of theinterior. When the selected air temperatureis reached, the system automatically selectsoutside air.
Note:When you select windshielddefrosting and defogging, the instrumentpanel and footwell level functionsautomatically switch off and air conditioningswitches on. Outside air flows into yourvehicle.

WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portablefuel containers or aftermarketfunnels into the capless fuel system.This could damage the fuel system and itsseal, and may cause fuel to run onto theground instead of filling the tank, whichcould result in serious personal injury.
Do not try to pry open or push openthe capless fuel system with foreignobjects. This could damage the fuelsystem and its seal and cause injury to youor others.
When filling your vehicle's fuel tank froma portable fuel container, use the funnelincluded with your vehicle.
Use the following guidelines to avoidelectrostatic charge build-up when fillingan ungrounded fuel container:
•Place approved fuel container on theground.
•Do not fill a fuel container while it is inthe vehicle (including the cargo area).
•Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contactwith the fuel container while filling.
•Do not use a device that would holdthe fuel pump handle in the fill position.
1.Locate the plastic funnel in the glovebox.
2.Slowly insert the funnel into thecapless fuel system.
3.Fill your vehicle with fuel from theportable fuel container.
4.When done, clean the funnel orproperly dispose of it. Extra funnels canbe purchased from your authorizeddealer if you choose to dispose of thefunnel.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine REFUELING
WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage theengine. Have the system checked by anauthorized dealer immediately.
Do not use any kind of flames or heatnear the fuel system. The fuel systemis under pressure. There is a risk ofinjury if the fuel system is leaking.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray the fuelfiller flap briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (200 millimeters).
We recommend that you wait atleast 10 seconds before removing thefuel pipe nozzle to allow any residualfuel to drain into the fuel tank.
Stop refueling after the fuel nozzlestops the second time. Additionalfuel will fill the expansion space inthe fuel tank which could lead to fueloverflowing. Fuel spillage could behazardous to other road users.
Do not remove the nozzle from itsfully inserted position during theentire refueling process.
Note:It is not possible to fully open thesliding door when the fuel filler flap is open.
Note:Your vehicle does not have a fuel fillercap.
1.Press the flap to open it. Open the flapfully until it engages.
Note:When you insert the correct size fuelnozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open.This helps to avoid filling up with the wrongfuel.
2.Insert the fuel nozzle up to andincluding the first notch on the nozzleA. Keep it resting on the cover of thefuel pipe opening.

4.Operate the nozzle within the areashown.
5.Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to removeit.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefueling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures arederived from laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequentamendments are carried out by all vehiclemanufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factors including:driving style, high speed driving, stop-startdriving, air conditioning usage, theaccessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Switch the ignition off before refueling.An inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when refueling.
Results are most accurate when therefueling method is consistent.
