Fuel tank capacity 3 211.
Catalytic converter 3 130.
Drain fuel filter
U illuminates yellow.
Illuminates when water level in diesel fuel filter exceeds a specified level.
Residual water in the diesel fuel filter
must be drained 3 164. Seek the
assistance of a workshop as soon as
possible.
Immobiliser d illuminates red.When the engine is started, d
illuminates briefly. If it does not
illuminate, seek the assistance of a
workshop.
Illuminates to indicate a fault in the
immobiliser system. The engine
cannot be started.
Electronic immobiliser 3 28.
Reduced engine power
# illuminates yellow.
Illuminates in conjunction with control
indicator g; the vehicle needs a
service. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles, stop the
engine and restart after 10 seconds.
The engine power is limited. Consult
a workshop.
Apply footbrake
- illuminates yellow.
Brake pedal must be depressed to
release the electrical parking brake

restart the engine.
Stop-start system 3 126.
High beam
C illuminates blue.
Illuminated when high beam is on and
during headlight flash 3 106.
Automatic headlight levelling system
q illuminates yellow
Illuminates during driving to indicate a fault that requires immediate
attention. Seek the assistance of a
workshop as soon as possible.

Illuminates when the front fog lights
are switched on 3 108.

130Driving and operatingIf cleaning of the filter is required andprevious driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be
indicated by control indicator %
3 88.
% illuminates, accompanied by a
warning chime, when diesel particle
filter is full. Start cleaning process as
soon as possible.
% flashes when diesel particle filter
has reached the maximum filling level. Start cleaning process
immediately to avoid damage to the
engine. A warning chime sounds
every 3 minutes until the cleaning
process is complete.
Cleaning process To activate the cleaning process,
continue driving, keeping engine
speed above 2000 revolutions per
minute. Shift down if necessary.
Diesel particle filter cleaning is then
started.
If control indicator Z illuminates
additionally in the instrument cluster
when the engine is running, there
may be a fault in the diesel particlefilter 3 84. Cleaning is not possible,
seek the assistance of a workshop
immediately.Caution
If the cleaning process is
interrupted, there is a risk of
provoking severe engine damage.
Cleaning takes place quickest at high engine speeds and loads.
Do not switch off the engine until the
cleaning process is complete. This is
indicated by the extinguished control
indicator %.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.
Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed 3 207 could damage the catalytic
converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt fuel will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.

Driving and operating141you might in a conventional vehicle.
Strong crosswinds can affect the
normal steering of the vehicle. Drive
slower under strong crosswind
conditions.
Off-road driving ● Avoid protruding objects (such as
rocks or tree stumps) that may
damage the underbody and tyres of your vehicle.
● Test the brakes after operating in
mud, to clear excess mud from
the braking surfaces.
● Grip the steering wheel when travelling over rough terrain.
Terrain conditions can cause
rapid and unexpected movement in the steering.
The ground clearance, ramp angle,
angle of approach and departure and wading depth need to be considered,
especially in hilly conditions and
when wading, to prevent the vehicle
becoming stuck and possibly
damaged.
Vehicle dimensions 3 209.
Towing the vehicle 3 196.Driving through water
Do not exceed the maximum wading
depth 3 209.
Check the depth of water: choose the
lowest entry and departure angles
before entering. Maintain a steady
engine speed, to help prevent water
from entering the exhaust system, but do not exceed 5 km/h, to avoid
splashing the water.
Drive with the flow wherever possible,
not against it. If you have to drive
against the flow, try to drive at an
angle to it, so that the leading corner
of the vehicle will help deflect water
from the engine compartment. Avoid
splashing the water - if the ignition
system becomes wet, the engine may
stall.
Avoid water entering the air intake
system 3 120. If water enters the air
intake system, engine seizure with severe costly damage may result.
Test the brakes after leaving the
water - wet brakes are less effective
than dry ones. Perform the service
operations for wading , involving
checks for water contamination, at
the earliest opportunity.Service checks after wading
Check for the ingress of water into the following:
● Brake fluid reservoir
● Air cleaner element
● Engine
● Transmission
● Axles
● Interior of vehicle
Renew any lubricating oil or hydraulic
fluid that has a milky appearance,
indicating contamination with water.
Cleaning
Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as
soon as possible after driving off-
road.
Do not let mud remain dry on any part
of the vehicle as it becomes abrasive and can damage paint, glass, seals,
bearings and brake components. If
left to build up, mud can seriously
affect the airflow through and over
mechanical components and cause
localised overheating and failure of
parts, especially in the engine
compartment.
