The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:
■ Fuel used
■ Average consumption
■ Instantaneous consumption
■ Range
■ Distance travelled
■ Average speed
■ Distance before service 3 78

3 74
■ Cruise control and speed limiter stored speed 3 120
■ Fuel economy rating
■ Tyre pressures 3 150
■ Fault and information messages
Fuel used Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time by pressing and holding the
button.
Average consumption
The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 0.25 miles.
Average consumption is displayed,
taking into consideration the distance
travelled and the fuel used since the
last reset.
Driving and operating127
■ the rear doors/tailgate are notclosed correctly,
■ the vehicle had a rear end accident,
■ there are extreme temperature changes.Fuel
Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union, use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to
engine powerloss, increased wear
or engine damage and loss of
warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions. Diesel fuels must
not be diluted with fuels for petrol
engines.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. Switch off
any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Vehicle care133
Move the safety catch (located
slightly right of centre) sideways to
the left and open the bonnet.
The bonnet is held open
automatically.
If the bonnet is opened during an
Autostop, the engine will be restarted automatically for safety reasons.
Stop-start system 3 113.
Closing Lower the bonnet and let it fall into the
latch from a low height (20-25 cm).
Check that the bonnet is engaged.
Engine oil
Check the engine oil level manually
on a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine.
Ensure that the correct specification
of oil is used. Recommended fluids
and lubricants 3 166.
Check with the vehicle on a level
surface. The engine must be at
operating temperature and switched
off for at least 10 minutes.
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, insert it to the stop on the handle, pull
out and read the engine oil level.Caution
It is the owner's responsibility to
maintain the proper level of an
appropriate quality oil in the
engine.
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" mark A, top
up engine oil.
Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
166Service and maintenanceRecommended fluids,lubricants and parts
Recommended fluids and
lubricants
Only use products that meet the
recommended specifications.
Damage resulting from the use of
products not in line with these
specifications will not be covered by
the warranty.9 Warning
Operating materials are
hazardous and could be
poisonous. Handle with care. Pay
attention to information given on
the containers.
Engine oil
Engine oil is identified by its quality
and its viscosity. Quality is more
important than viscosity when
selecting which engine oil to use. The oil quality ensures e.g. engine
cleanliness, wear protection and oil
aging control, whereas viscosity
grade gives information on the oil's
thickness over a temperature range.
Dexos is the newest engine oil quality
that provides optimum protection for petrol and diesel engines. If it is
unavailable, engine oils of other listed qualities must be used.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 171.
Topping up engine oil
Engine oils of different manufacturers
and brands can be mixed as long as
they comply with the required engine
oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oil with only
ACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality is
prohibited, since it can cause long-
term engine damage under certain
operating conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 171.Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 171.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.
Coolant and antifreeze Use only silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze approved for the vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
