Driving and operating129●Lock the vehicle with e on the
radio remote control.
Or with electronic key system
press marking on front door
handles 3 22.
● Activate the anti-theft alarm system 3 31.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 176.Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Caution
Under extreme cold temperatures,
idle engine for maximum
5 minutes otherwise the engine
might be damaged.
Note
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
switched off automatically if the
vehicle comes to a standstill within a certain time.
In countries with extreme low
temperatures it may be necessary to park the vehicle without applied
parking brake. Make sure to park the
vehicle on a level surface.
Keys, locks 3 20.
Laying-up the vehicle for a long
period of time 3 175.Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Exhaust filter
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot particles out of the exhaust gases.
The start of saturation of the exhaust
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of % or C ,
accompanied by a message in the
Driver Information Centre.
Driving and operating171
Place the strap through the rear right
lashing eye, wrap around twice and
tighten the strap to secure the bag.
Fitting the coupling ball bar
Swivel the connecting socket
downwards. Remove the sealing plug from the opening for the coupling ball
bar and stow it.
Checking the tensioning of the
coupling ball bar
● Red marking on rotary knob must
point towards green marking on
coupling ball bar.
● The gap between the rotary knob
and the coupling ball bar must be approx. 6 mm.
● The key must be in position c.
Otherwise, the coupling ball bar must
be tensioned before being inserted:● Unlock coupling ball bar by
turning key to position c.
● Pull out rotary knob and turn
clockwise as far as it will go.
172Driving and operatingInserting the coupling ball bar
Insert the tensioned coupling ball bar
in the opening and push firmly
upwards until it audibly engages.
The rotary handle snaps back into its
original position resting against the
coupling ball bar without a gap.
9 Warning
Do not touch rotary handle during
insertion.
Lock the coupling ball bar by turning
the key to position c. Remove the key
and close the protective flap.
Eye for break-away stopping cable
Attach breakaway stopping cable to
eye.
Checking the correct installation of
the coupling ball bar
● Green marking on rotary knob must point towards green
marking on coupling ball bar.
● There must be no gap between the rotary handle and the
coupling ball bar.
● The coupling ball bar must be firmly engaged in the opening.
● The coupling ball bar must be locked and the key removed.
9Warning
Towing a trailer is permitted only
when a coupling ball bar is fitted correctly. If the coupling ball bardoes not engage correctly, seekthe assistance of a workshop.
Dismounting the coupling ball bar
Open the protective flap and turn the
key to position c to unlock the
coupling ball bar.
Pull out rotary handle and turn
clockwise as far as it will go. Pull out coupling ball bar downwards.
Insert sealing plug in opening.

240Customer informationVehicle data recording
and privacy
Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in
your vehicle. Control units process
data which is received by vehicle
sensors, for example, or which they
generate themselves or exchange
amongst themselves. Some control
units are necessary for the safe
functioning of your vehicle, others
assist you while you drive (driver
assistance systems), while others
provide comfort or infotainment
functions.
The following contains general
information about data processing in
the vehicle. You will find additional
information as to which specific data
is uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties and for what purpose in
your vehicle under the key word Data Protection closely linked to the
references for the affected functional
characteristics in the relevant owner's manual or in the general terms of
sale. These are also available online.Personal reference
Each vehicle is identified by means of
a unique chassis number. In
Germany, this vehicle identification
number can be traced to the present
and former keepers of the vehicle by
means of information held by the
Federal Motor Transport Authority.
Further options, such as the vehicle's number plate, make it possible to
trace data on the keeper or driver of
the vehicle.
The data generated or processed by
control units may therefore be
personal, or be made personal under
certain conditions. Depending on
what vehicle data is available,
conclusions may be drawn on
information such as your driving
behaviour, your location or the route
you travel, or on your usage
behaviour.
Your rights in respect of data
protection
According to applicable law on data
protection, you have certain rights in
respect of companies that process your personal data.Accordingly you have free and
extensive entitlement to information
held by the manufacturer as well as
third parties (e.g. authorised
breakdown services or garages,
providers of online services for your
vehicle) if they have saved personal
data relating to you. In doing so you may demand to know what data is
stored about you for what purpose,
and where the data came from. Your
right to information also covers the
transfer of data to other locations.
Further information on your legal
rights in respect of the manufacturer
(e.g. your right to deletion or the
correction of data) can be found in the
relevant privacy notice on the
manufacturer's website (including
contact data for the manufacturer and its data protection officer).
Data that is only stored locally in the
vehicle can be read with expert
assistance at a garage, for example;
for a fee where applicable.
Customer information241Legal requirements for
information disclosure
Insofar as regulatory requirements
exist, manufacturers are strictly
bound to release data stored by the
manufacturer in individual cases to
the extent requested following a
request by state bodies (e.g. during
criminal investigations).
Government agencies are also
authorised, in the context of
applicable law, to read data in
individual cases from vehicles
themselves. Thus information that
may help with the investigation
resolution can possibly be read from
the airbag control unit in the event of
an accident.
Operating data in the vehicle Control units process data for
operation of the vehicle.This data includes, for example:
● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate, "seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient and is
not stored for longer than an
operational cycle, and only processed
on board the vehicle itself. Often
control units include data storage
(including the vehicle key). This is
used to allow information to be
documented temporarily or
permanently on vehicle condition,
component stress, maintenance
requirements and technical events
and errors.
Depending on technical equipment
levels, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,brakes)● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used where necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data read documents the
technical condition of the vehicle or
