Instruments and controls91Info-display
The central display in the
Infotainment system displays the time and Infotainment system information.
For further information, refer to the
Infotainment system manual.
Vehicle messages
Messages are displayed in the Driver
Information Centre (DIC) and may be
accompanied by illumination of
control indicator F or C in the
instrument cluster.
Information messages
Information messages regarding, e.g. engine starting conditions, stop-start
system, parking brake application,
central locking, steering wheel lock
etc. provide the current status of
certain vehicle functions and
instructions for use.
Fault messages
Fault messages regarding, e.g. fuel
filter, airbags, exhaust emissions etc. are displayed together with control
indicator F. Drive with caution and
seek the assistance of a workshop as
soon as possible.
To remove fault messages, e.g.
" CHECK INJECTION ", from the
display, press button on end of wiper
lever. After a few seconds themessage may disappear
automatically and F remains
illuminated. The fault will then be
stored in the on board system.
Warning messages

engine, battery or brake system
failure, are displayed together with
control indicator C and may be
accompanied by a warning chime.
Stop engine immediately and seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Warning messages, e.g. " BATTERY
CHARGING FAULT " disappear from
the display automatically when the cause of the fault has been remedied.
Fuel economy messages Fuel economy messages provide tips
to improve fuel efficiency. Journeys
can be saved in the system memory,
enabling you to compare
performances.
Refer to Infotainment system manual
for further information.

Lighting99In the event of hard braking, the
hazard warning flashers may turn on automatically. Switch off by pressing
the ¨ button.
Turn and lane-change signalslever up:right turn signallever down:left turn signal
Turn and lane-change signals are
operational when engine is running
and during an Autostop.
When the steering wheel is turned
back, the lever automatically returns
to its original position and the turn
signal is deactivated. This will not
happen when making a minor
steering manoeuvre such as lane
changing.
For three flashes, e.g. when changing lanes, move lever part way to first
stop and then release.
If the lever is moved past the first stop, the turn signal is switched on
constantly. Switch the turn signal off
manually by moving the lever to its
original position.
Front fog lights
Turn inner switch to position >.
Front fog lights will only operate when
the ignition and headlights are
switched on.
Rear fog lights
Turn inner switch to position ø.
Rear fog light comes on together with front fog lights and will only operate
when the ignition and headlights are
switched on.
Reversing lights The reversing lights come on when
the ignition is on and reverse gear is
selected.

Driving and operating115
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 ECO again. Control indicator
ECO extinguishes in the instrument
cluster.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
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 systems function during an
Autostop, but there may be a
controlled reduction in power steering assist and vehicle speed is reduced.
Stop-start system 3 119.
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.

116Driving and operatingStarting 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.

Electronic key must be inside the
vehicle, either in the card reader or
the front passenger compartment.
If the electronic key is not inside the
vehicle, a corresponding message
appears in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 90.
Notice
Do not put the electronic key in the
load compartment during driving, as
this is outside of the detection zone
(indicated by a warning chime at low
speed 3 92 and a message in the
Driver Information Centre (DIC)
3 91).
