Only one warning chime will sound at
a time.
The warning chime regarding
unfastened seat belts has priority
over any other warning chime.
■ If seat belt is not fastened.
■ If a certain speed is exceeded with the parking brake applied.
■ If the parking assist detects an object.
■ If the vehicle has manual transmission automated and the
clutch temperature is too high.
■ If the vehicle speed briefly exceeds
a set limit.
■ During closing of the power sliding door.
■ If the sliding door is open and the parking brake is released.
■ During activation and deactivation of alarm monitoring of vehicle
inclination.
When the vehicle is parked and/ or the driver's door is opened ■ When the key is in the ignition switch.
■ With exterior lights on.
■ If the vehicle has manual transmission automated; neutral is
not selected or the foot brake has
not been depressed. A
corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre.Trip computer
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
Instruments and controls87
■ Distance travelled
■ Average speed
■ Distance before service 3 76
■ Clock 3 72
■ Cruise control and speed limiter stored speed 3 125
■ Tyre pressures 3 157
■ 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
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.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 20 mph.
Range The value is displayed after driving adistance of 0.25 miles.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 83.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Distance travelled Displays the distance driven since the
last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Average speed The value is displayed after driving adistance of 0.25 miles.
The average speed since the last
reset is displayed.The measurement can be restarted at
any time.
Interruptions in the journey with the
ignition off are not included in the
calculations.
Reset trip computer information
To reset the trip computer, select one
of its functions then press and hold
button on end of wiper lever.
The following trip computer
information will be reset:
■ Fuel used
■ Average consumption
■ Range
■ Distance travelled
■ Average speed
The trip computer will reset
automatically when the maximum
value of any of the parameters is
exceeded.

Driving economically ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
ActivationPress the ECO button. Control
indicator illuminates when activated
and a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre 3 84.
During driving, it is possible to
temporarily disable ECO mode, e.g.
to increase engine performance, by
depressing the accelerator pedal
firmly.
ECO mode is reactivated when
pressure is reduced on the
accelerator pedal.
Deactivation
Press the ECO button again. Control
indicator extinguishes.
Control of the vehicle Never coast with engine not
running (except during
Autostop) Many systems will not function in this
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
Driving and operating109
systems function during an Autostop,
but there will be a controlled reduction
in power steering assist and vehicle
speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 111.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Steering If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.Caution
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic
power steering:
If the steering wheel is turned until it reaches the end of its travel, and
is held in that position for more
than 15 seconds, damage may
occur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys and after new
disc brake pads have been fitted.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system.
Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period fuel and
engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of the diesel particle filter may take
place more often. Autostop may be inhibited to allow for charging the
vehicle battery.
Stop-start system 3 111.
Diesel particle filter 3 115.

Emissions
For the values specific to your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
General information
The official fuel consumption and
specific CO 2 emission figures quoted
relate to the EU base model with
standard equipment.
Fuel consumption data and CO 2
emission data are determined
according to regulation
715/2007 692/2008 A, taking into
consideration the vehicle weight in
running order, as specified by the
regulation.
The figures must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel
consumption of a particular vehicle.
Additional equipment may result in
slightly higher results than the stated
consumption and CO 2 figures.Furthermore, fuel consumption is
dependent on personal driving style
as well as road and traffic conditions.Trailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust fitting of towing equipment at
a later date to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Driving characteristics and
towing tips In the case of trailers with brakes,
attach the breakaway stopping cable.
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements. For trailers with
low driving stability the use of a
stabiliser is recommended.
A maximum speed of 50 mph must
not be exceeded, even in countries
where higher speeds are permitted.
