General recommendations on the use
of driving and manoeuvring aids .


As soon as reverse gear is engaged with the
engine running, this system displays views of
your vehicle’s close surroundings on the touch screen using a camera located at the rear of the
vehicle.




The screen is divided into two parts with a
contextual view and a view from above the
vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the information
on the view from above the vehicle.
Various contextual views may be displayed:
–
Standard view
.
–

180° view
.
–

Zoom view
.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display
(standard or zoom).
You can change the type of view at any time
during a manoeuvre.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Principle of operation

Using the rear camera, the vehicle's close
surroundings are recorded during manoeuvres
at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the brackets) in real time and as the
manoeuvre progresses.
It facilitates the alignment of your vehicle when
parking and allows obstacles close to the vehicle
to be seen. It is automatically deleted if the
vehicle remains stationary for too long.

Practical information
Compatibility of fuels
Petrol fuels conforming to the EN228 standard
containing up to 5% and 10% ethanol
respectively.

Diesel fuels conforming to the EN590, EN16734
and EN16709 standards and containing up to
7%, 10%, 20% and 30% fatty acid methyl ester
respectively. The use of B20 or B30 fuels, even
occasionally, imposes special maintenance
conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".

Paraffinic Diesel fuel conforming to the EN15940
standard.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (e.g. pure or diluted vegetable or animal
oils, domestic fuel) is strictly prohibited - risk
of damaging the engine and fuel system!
The only fuel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715001 (petrol)
or B715000 (Diesel) standards.
Diesel at low temperature
At temperatures below 0 °C (+32 °F), the
formation of paraffins in summer-type Diesel fuels could prevent the engine from operating
correctly
. In these temperature conditions, use
winter-type Diesel fuel and keep the fuel tank
more than 50 % full.
At temperatures below -15 °C (+5 °F) to avoid
problems starting, it is best to park the vehicle
under shelter (heated garage).
Travelling abroad
Certain fuels could damage your vehicle’s
engine.
In certain countries, the use of a particular
fuel may be required (specific octane rating,
specific trade name, etc.) to ensure correct
operation of the engine.
For all additional information, consult a dealer.
Refuelling
Fuel tank capacity: approximately 40 or 44
litres (Petrol) or 41 litres (Diesel).
Reserve level: approximately 5 litres.
Low fuel level
When the low fuel level is reached, this
warning lamp lights up on the instrument
panel, accompanied by the display of a message
and an audible signal. When it first comes on,
about 5 litres of fuel remain.
Until sufficient fuel is added, this warning lamp
appears every time the ignition is switched on,
accompanied by the message and the audible
signal. When driving, this message and audible
signal are repeated with increasing frequency as
the fuel level drops towards 0.
You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid
running out of fuel.
For more information on Running out of fuel
(Diesel), refer to the corresponding section.
A small arrow by the warning lamp indicates which side of the vehicle the
fuel filler flap is located on.
Stop & Start
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
Refuelling
When refuelling, at least 5 litres must be added
in order to be registered by the fuel gauge.
Opening the filler cap may create a noise caused
by an inrush of air. This vacuum is normal,
caused by the sealing of the fuel system.
To refuel in complete safety:
►

Always switch off the engine.

Event data recorders
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.
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 individual
components and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations and quality
improvement. This data, in particular information
on component stress, technical events, operator
errors and other faults, is transmitted to the
manufacturer where appropriate, together
with the vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to product liability.
The manufacturer potentially also uses operating
data from vehicles for product recalls. This data
can also be used to check customer warranty
and guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service company when carrying out servicing or
repairs or at your request.
Comfort and infotainment
functions
Comfort settings and custom settings can be
stored in the vehicle and changed or reset at any
time.
Depending on the equipment level in question,
these include
–

seat and steering wheel position settings
–


chassis and air conditioning settings
–


custom settings such as interior lighting
You can input your own data in the infotainment
functions for your vehicle as part of the selected
features.
Depending on the equipment level in question,
these include
– multimedia data such as music, videos or
photos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
– address book data for use with an integrated
hands-free system or an integrated navigation
system
– input destinations
– data on the use of online services
This data for comfort and infotainment functions
can be stored locally in the vehicle or be kept on
a device that you have connected to the vehicle
(e.g. a smartphone, USB stick or MP3 player).
Data that you have input yourself can be deleted
at any time.
This data can only be transmitted out of the
vehicle at your request, particularly when using
online services in accordance with the settings
selected by you.
Smartphone integration,
e.g. Android Auto or Apple
CarPlay
If your vehicle is equipped accordingly, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile
device to the vehicle so that you can control it
via the controls integrated in the vehicle. The
smartphone image and sound can be output
