Technical data section ¢ page 288.
CD CAUTION
Never run the tank completely dry. If there is
an irregular fuel supply, misfiring can occur.
Unburnt fuel can then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. This can lead to overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Warning and indicator
Lamps
Description
The warning and indicator lamps light up or flash
in the instrument cluster. Their purpose is to in­
dicate functions or faults.
Some of the warning and indicator lamps may be
accompanied by a driver message and a warning
tone. The warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages on the display can be masked by fur­
ther displays. To display a warning or message
again, use the controls on the multi-function
steering wheel to select the display tab for warn­
ing/indicator lamps and messages ¢ page 20.
If several malfunctions have occurred, you can
use the thumbwheel to scroll through them on
the display.
Some of the warning lamps may be displayed in
different colours.
Overview
When you switch on the ignition, some of the
warning and indicator lamps light up briefly to
show that the associated systems are working
properly. These systems are marked with a../ in
the following tables. If one of these warning/in­
dicator lamps does not light up, there is a fault in
the associated system.

Pedestrian protection system
If the indicator Lamp El Lights up or flashes and
the bonnet is in a raised position, the pedestrian
protection system has been triggered. Please re­
fer to¢ page 228, Pedestrian protection sys­
tem.
.&_ WARNING
Have the safety systems examined without
delay; otherwise they may fail to trigger in an
accident -this could result in serious or possi­
bly fatal injury.
� Engine management
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up, there is a fault
in the engine management system.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de­
lay and have the engine checked.
W Engine management (diesel engine)
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up when the igni­
tion is switched on, the glow plugs are preheat­
ing.
If the indicator lamp flashes while the vehicle is
moving, there is a fault in the engine manage­
ment system.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de­
lay and have the fault rectified.
G Emission control system
If the indicator Lamp II Lights up or flashes, a
fault has occurred which can reduce the quality of
the exhaust gas and damage the catalytic con­
verter.
Drive slowly to a qualified workshop without de­
lay and have the fault rectified.
@.> Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine and diesel particulate
filter
C Particulate filter: fault. See owner's manual The
diesel particulate filter requires regenera­
tion. You can assist the self-cleaning function of
the filter by driving as follows:
Drive at a speed of at Least 60 km/h for about
15 minutes in 4th or 5th gear, or with the selec­
tor lever in position Son vehicles with automatic
gearbox. Keep the engine speed at about
2000 rpm. As a result of the increase in tempera­
ture, the soot in the filter will be burned off. The
indicator lamp will go out once the cleaning proc­
ess has been completed successfully.
If the indicator Lamp does not go out, drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.
.&_ WARNING
It is essential that you adjust your speed to
suit the weather, road, terrain and traffic con­
ditions. The recommended driving speed
must never Lead to the driver disregarding the
traffic reg u Lations.
@ Note
For more information about the diesel partic­
ulate filter, refer to ¢page 244.
!?') Engine speed governing
Applies to: vehicles with engine speed governing
(m Max. engine speed: XXXX rpm
The engine speed will automatically be governed
to the speed displayed in the driver information
system. This protects the engine from overheat­
ing.
The rev Limiter is deactivated as soon as the en­
gine temperature is no Longer within the critical
range and you have taken your foot off the accel­
erator.
If the rev Limiter has been activated because of a
fault in the engine management system, the in­
dicator Lamp II will also Light up. Make sure that
the engine speed does not exceed the speed dis­
played in the driver information system, for ex­
ample when shifting down a gear. Drive to a
qualified workshop without delay and have the
fault rectified.

CX) To
prevent the front side windows from misting
up in wet weather, it's a good idea to open the
side air outlets and point them to the side.
� Switching air recirculation on/off
The air recirculation mode can be switched on
manually or automatically*.
- To switch the manual air recirculation mode
on/off, press the[;] button.
- The automatic* air recirculation function must
be activated on the infotainment system. Se­
lect the following on the infotainment system:
IM ENU
I
button > Car > left control button > Ve­
hicle settings > A/C > Auto recirculation. The
air quality sensor, which is designed for the de­
tection of diesel and petrol exhaust fumes, au­
tomatically switches the air recirculation mode
on or off depending on the level of pollution in
the outside air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interi­
or of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in­
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir­
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic queues ¢ A.
The air recirculation mode is switched off when
the [;] or I
AUTO I
or I l!ii'
M
AX
I button is pressed.
I@ MAX!
Switching the defroster on/off
The windscreen and side windows are defrosted
or demisted as quickly as possible. Most of the
air comes out of the outlets below the wind­
screen. The air recirculation mode is deactivated.
The temperature is regulated automatically.
The defroster is switched off when the !AUTO!
button is pressed.
l[jjj) REAR!
Switching the rear window heating
on/off
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat­
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about Heating
and cooling
10 -20 minutes, depending on the outside tem­
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma­
nently, press and hold the l[jjj) REA
R!
button for at
least two seconds. This setting will be stored for
approximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve­
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can
cause an accident.
Adjusting air outlets

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
permissible engine speed -do not use full throt­
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri­
od you should continue driving at moderate en­
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex­
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim­
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi­
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi­
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa­
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve­
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa­
ter.

CX) -
Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom­
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel economy, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel con­
sumption by 10-15%. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the en­
vironment and reducing your operating costs at
the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If you an­
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad­
vance, you will need to brake less and thus accel­
erate less. Wherever possible, let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for in­
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount of fuel. Press the accelerator slowly and
avoid using the "kick-down" feature.
Avoid driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder­
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at level crossings, for in- Driving
stance, or at traffic lights with a long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is
greater than the amount of fuel needed to re­
start the engine.
The engine takes a very long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular servicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well­
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im­
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia­
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con­
sumption depends to a great extent on the en­
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions.
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump­
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too low, this can in­
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla­
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han­
dling.

CX) Parking
aids
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 104.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢page 104. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 104, Fig. 106 is also monitored.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys­
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. Orientation
lines in the image from the reversing camera as­
sist you when parking or manoeuvring
¢ page 106. In addition, you are assisted by the
functions of the parking system plus
¢page 104.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 108.
A WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system -risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis­
tered. It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicle -risk of accident! Parking
aids
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel
rims.
(@ Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
