damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact your workshop.
Mounting roof rack
5-door Hatchback, Sports Tourer
Open all doors.
Mounting points are located in each
door frame of the vehicle body.
Fasten the roof rack according to the installation instructions delivered with the roof rack.
Remove the roof rack when not in use.9 Warning
Sports Tourer
Roof railings are a styling element only and not designed to carry any load. Installation of roof racks or
other accessory is not permitted.
Use the designated mounting
points in the door frames
exclusively.
Loading information
● Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Make
sure that the backrests are
securely engaged, i.e. no longer
showing the red markings on the side near the release lever. If
objects can be stacked, heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.
● Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes
3 81.

Storage89● Secure loose objects in the loadcompartment to prevent themfrom sliding.
● When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrestsof the rear seats must not beangled forward.
● Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Sports Tourer: install safety net when transporting objects in the
load compartment.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 284) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
The permissible roof load is
75 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Instruments and controls95The rear window wiper comes on
automatically when the windscreen
wiper is switched on and reverse gear
is engaged.
Activation or deactivation of this
function can be changed in the menu Settings in the Info-Display.

Rear window washer
Push lever.
Washer fluid is sprayed onto the rear
window and the wiper wipes a few
times.
The rear window washer system is
deactivated when the fluid level is
low.

Outside temperature A drop in temperature is indicated
immediately and a rise in temperature
after a time delay.
Illustration shows an example.
If outside temperature drops to 3 °C,
a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.

icy even though the display
indicates a few degrees above
0 °C.

Instruments and controls101Warning lights, gauges
and indicators
Instrument cluster
Depending on the version, two
instrument clusters are available:

106Instruments and controlsTachometer
Displays the engine speed.
Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
Caution
If the needle is in the red warning
zone, the maximum permitted
engine speed is exceeded. Engine at risk.
Fuel gauge
Displays the fuel level or gas content
(CNG) in the tank depending on the current operation mode.
The arrow indicates the vehicle side
where the fuel filler flap is located.
For bi-fuel engines, the Driver
Information Centre displays the fuel l
evel for the fuel type which is currently
not in operation. The fuel level for the fuel type which is currently in
operation is shown in the fuel gauge.
Control indicator r illuminates if the
fuel quantity is low.
For bi-fuel engines: In petrol mode,
the control indicator r illuminates
before the needle reaches the red
area.
Refuel immediately if r flashes.
Never run the fuel tank dry.
Because of the fuel remaining in the
tank, the top-up quantity may be less
than the specified fuel tank capacity.
Fuel selector
Natural gas operation (CNG)
Press X to switch between petrol and
natural gas operation.

Instruments and controls107The LED status shows the current
operating mode.LED off:petrol operationLED illu‐
minates:natural gas operationLED
flashes for
approx.
five
seconds:fuel mode transition is
selected but switching
is not possibleLED
flashes:fuel mode transition in
process, flashing stops
if transition is completed
Switching is not possible at high loads (e.g. powerful acceleration, driving at
full throttle).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time, a
switchover inhibitor is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The inhibitor
remains active until the ignition is
switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected during petrol operation.
You must therefore adapt your driving style, e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres and high vehicle loads
(e.g. towing loads) accordingly.
The vehicle consumes petrol when
starting the engine and even when in
certain natural gas operating modes. The petrol consumption in natural gas
operating mode can vary depending
on driving behaviour (e.g. high load or
towing). In case of a low fuel level, a
corresponding message is displayed
as a reminder to refuel.
Note
Always ensure that there is enough
petrol in the tank.
Fuel for natural gas operation 3 223.
Forced fuel mode transitionNatural gas tank is running low
As soon as the natural gas tank is
empty, petrol operation is
automatically engaged. Manually
engaging natural gas operation mode is not possible until natural gas
refuelling is detected.
Before the petrol fuel system runs empty, a warning message will be
displayed and cannot be dismissed.Petrol tank is running low while
natural gas is available
If the remaining petrol level in the tank falls below a certain level, natural gas
operation is automatically engaged
provided there is a sufficient natural
gas level in the tank. Manually
engaging petrol operation mode is not
possible.
Before both fuel systems run empty,
a warning message will be displayed
and cannot be dismissed.
Engine coolant temperaturegauge
Displays the coolant temperature.
