Storage77To 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 75 mph.
The permissible roof load is
85 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Lighting115Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
between 34 mph and 71 mph when
driving in rural areas. The illumination of the current lane and the side of theroad is improved. Oncoming and
preceding vehicles are not dazzled.
Motorway light
Activated automatically at a speed
above 71 mph. Illumination is
adapted to the higher speed driven on
motorways. If there is no oncoming
traffic, the visibility on the side of the
vehicle is increased. The visibility
range raises from 70 m to 140 m
allowing distant objects to be
recognised across the entire width of
the road.
Town light
Activated automatically at a speed up to approx. 34 mph and in situations
with exterior ambient light. The light is
wide and symmetrical. If the speed is
below 19 mph, the headlamps are
slightly swiveled to the outside to
allow an earlier recognition of
pedestrians and objects on each side
of the road. A special beam pattern is
designed to avoid glare for other road users.
Corner light
Activated at a speed of up to 25 mph
when turning off. The light consists of particular LEDs which illuminate the
direction of travel. These LEDs are
triggered depending on the steering
angle or the activation of the turn lights.
Adverse weather light
Controlled by wiper or rain sensor.
The wide light distribution – slightly
swiveled to the outside – enables
improved orientation at the edge of
the road. The intensity of the light in
the far distance is increased in order
116Lightingto recognise objects and markings on
the right road side and obstacles on
the lane despite the weather
condition. By lowering the reflection
on wet roads the oncoming traffic is less dazzled. Adverse weather light is activated up to a speed to 43 mph.
Curve light
Particular LEDs, based on steering
angle and speed, are additionally
triggered to improve lighting in
curves. This function is activated at
speeds from 25 mph to 43 mph.
High beam assistThis feature activates the high beam
at night when the vehicle speed is
faster than 15 mph.
The camera in the windscreen
detects the lights of oncoming or
preceding vehicles. Each LED on
right or left side can be triggered or
faded out particularly according to the traffic situation. This gives the best
light distribution without dazzling
other road users. Once activated,
high beam assist remains active and
switches high beam on and off
depending on surrounding
conditions. The latest setting of the
high beam assist will remain after the
ignition is switched on again.
High beam assist includes a special
motorway mode. When driving faster
than 71 mph on motorways, the light
beam becomes smaller to avoid
dazzling of oncoming traffic. When
following vehicles ahead or passing,
dazzling for these vehicles is
reduced.
Activation
Activate the high beam assist by
pressing f. The LED of the button
illuminates if the high beam assist is
activated. High beam is switched on automatically at a speed above
15 mph . High beam is switched off at
a speed below 9 mph, but high beam
assist remains active.
The green control indicator f
illuminates continuously when the
high beam assist is activated, the blue 7 illuminates when high beam is on.

To activate three flashes, tap the
indicator lever briefly without passing
the resistance point.
If you forget to cancel the turn lights
for more than 20 seconds, the volume
of the audible signal will increase if
the speed is above 40 mph.Front fog lights

142Driving and operatingAs soon as the traffic conditions
permit, regenerate the filter by driving at a vehicle speed of at least 40 mph
until the control indicator
extinguishes.
Notice
On a new vehicle, the first exhaust
filter regeneration operations may
be accompanied by a burning smell,
which is normal. Following
prolonged operation of the vehicle at
very low speed or at idle, water
vapour can be emitted at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the
vehicle or the environment.
Cleaning process not possible
If % or C stays on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message,
this indicates that the exhaust filter
additive level is too low.
The reservoir must be topped-up
without delay. Seek the assistance of
a workshop.Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 201, 3 260 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol 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.
AdBlue
General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust
system. The ammonia released by
the fluid reacts with nitrous gases
(NO x) from the exhaust and turns it
into nitrogen and water.
The designation of this fluid is
AdBlue ®
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32% urea and
68% water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
144Driving and operatingchime will sound. Driving is
possible without any restrictions.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next
journey, after self-diagnosis of the
emissions control system.
2. If the fault is confirmed by the emission control system, the
following message will be
displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented in 650 miles .
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.
When driving, the message is
displayed every 30 seconds while
the fault persists.
3. If the last warning level is entered,
the following warning message
will be displayed:
Emissions fault: Starting
prevented
Additionally, control indicators u,
C and Z will illuminate and a
chime will sound.Consult a workshop for
assistance.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Notice
Whenever a filling pump with a
nozzle for passenger cars is not
available at a filling station, use only
AdBlue bottles or canisters with a
sealed refill adapter for refilling, to
prevent splashback and overspill,
and in order to ensure that the fumes
from the tank are captured and do
not emerge. AdBlue in bottles or
canisters is available in many filling
stations and can be purchased e.g. at Vauxhall dealers and other retail
outlets.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Notice
Refill the tank to a level of at least
5 l to ensure that the new AdBlue
level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not
successfully detected:
1. Continuously drive the vehicle for 10 min making sure that
vehicle speed is always higher
than 12 mph.
2. If AdBlue refill is detected successfully, AdBlue supply-
driven warnings or limitations will
disappear.
If AdBlue refill is still not detected, seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue may not be
detected by the system. In this
