Driving economically
ECO mode
ECO mode is a function that
optimises fuel consumption. It affects engine power and torque,
acceleration, gear shift indication,
heating, air conditioning and electrical consumers.
Activation
Press ECO. When activated ECO
appears in the Driver Information
Centre.
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. ECO disappears in
the Driver Information Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 104.
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running (except during Autostop)
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 3 227.Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in the area of the pedals.
Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Driving downhill
Engage a gear when driving downhill
to ensure that sufficient brake
pressure is available.
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
Driving and operating225than 15 seconds, damage mayoccur to the power steering
system and there may be loss of
power steering assist.Starting 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.
Limit the engine speed to 2,500/min
for the first 900 miles.
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.
Stop-start system 3 227.
Diesel particle filter 3 232.
Ignition switch positions Turn key:0:ignition off: Some functions

Driving and operating231For further information on the air
suspension system, refer to the
operating instructions supplied.
Master switchCaution
The air suspension system must
be switched off when the vehicle is being towed, jump‐started, raised
off the ground or transported.
Do not switch off the air
suspension system when driving.
Jump starting 3 303.
Towing the vehicle 3 305.
The master switch is located on the
lower part of the right-hand door pillar,
behind a trim panel.
Switch on to enable operation and
adjustment of the air suspension
system.
Switch off to put the vehicle into
service mode.
Remote control
When increased ground clearance or improved vehicle access is required,
the suspension can be raised or
lowered using the remote control.
Caution
Ensure there is adequate
clearance and that there are no
obstructions when adjusting the
suspension height.
The remote control unit is magnetic
and may be fixed to any metal part of the vehicle or stored in its holder.
With the engine running, press the appropriate button for two seconds to
adjust the suspension height.
Indicator light will flash intermittently
while height adjustment is in progress
and illuminates when complete.
If the ignition is switched on with
engine not running, the suspension
height can only be lowered.
Notice
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Pre-programmed settings
Adjusts the suspension height to one
of three pre-programmed positions.
