Note:For vehicles with start-stop thebattery requirement is different. It must bereplaced by one of exactly the samespecification as the original.
The system reduces fuel consumption andCO2 emissions by shutting down theengine when your vehicle is idling, forexample at traffic lights. The engine willautomatically restart when you press theclutch pedal or when required by a vehiclesystem, for example to recharge thebattery.
To obtain maximum benefit from thesystem, move the transmission selectorlever to neutral and release the clutchpedal during any stop of longer than threeseconds.
Using Start-Stop
WARNINGS

Note:If you stall the engine, and thendepress the clutch pedal within a shortperiod of time, the system will automaticallyrestart the engine.
Note:The start-stop indicator willilluminate green when the engine shutsdown. See Warning Lamps and Indicators(page 53).
Note:When the start-stop indicator flashesamber, move the transmission selector leverto neutral or depress the clutch pedal.
Note:If the system detects a malfunction,it will switch off. Have the system checkedby an authorised dealer.
Note:When you switch the system off, theswitch will illuminate.
Note:The system automatically turns onevery time you switch the ignition on. Toswitch the system off, press the switch inthe instrument panel. The system will onlybe switched off for the current ignition cycle.To turn it on, press the switch again. For itemlocation See At a Glance (page 8).
To Stop the Engine
1.Stop your vehicle.
2.Move the transmission selector leverto neutral.
3.Release the clutch pedal.
4.Release the accelerator pedal.
The system may not shut down the engineunder certain conditions, for example:
•To maintain the interior climate.
•Low battery voltage.
•The outside temperature is too low ortoo high.
•The driver's door has been opened.
•Low engine operating temperature.
•Low brake system vacuum.
•If a road speed of 3 mph (5 km/h) hasnot been exceeded.
•The driver's seat belt has not beenfastened.

5.Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to removeit.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Note:The amount of usable fuel in theempty reserve varies and should not berelied upon to increase driving range. Whenrefuelling your vehicle after the fuel gaugeindicates empty, you might not be able torefuel the full amount of the advertisedcapacity of the fuel tank due to the emptyreserve still present in the tank.
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures arederived from laboratory tests according toRegulation (EC) 715/2007 and subsequentamendments are carried out by all vehiclemanufacturers.
They are intended as a comparisonbetween makes and models of vehicles.They are not intended to represent the realworld fuel consumption you may get fromyour vehicle. Real world fuel consumptionis governed by many factors including:driving style, high speed driving, stop-startdriving, air conditioning usage, theaccessories fitted, payload, towing, etc.
The advertised capacity is the indicatedcapacity and the empty reserve combined.Indicated capacity is the difference in theamount of fuel in a full tank and a tankwhen the fuel gauge indicates empty.Empty reserve is the amount of fuel in thetank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Filling the Tank
For consistent results when filling the fueltank:
•Switch the ignition off before fuelling.An inaccurate reading results if youleave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than two automaticshut-offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1000 miles (1600 km) of driving (thisis your engine’s running-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2000 - 3000 miles (3200 - 4800 km).Also, fuel expense, frequency of fill ups orfuel gauge readings are not accurate waysto measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the tank, record theamount of fuel added.

HILL START ASSIST
WARNINGS
The system does not replace theparking brake. When you leave yourvehicle, always apply the parkingbrake and move the transmission selectorlever into position P (Park).

99Transmission

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine WARNINGS
If the engine is revved excessively, orif a malfunction is detected, thesystem will be deactivated.
The system makes it easier to pull awaywhen your vehicle is on a slope without theneed to use the parking brake.
When the system is active, your vehicle willremain stationary on the slope for two tothree seconds after you release the brakepedal. This allows you time to move yourfoot from the brake to the acceleratorpedal. The brakes are releasedautomatically once the engine hasdeveloped sufficient drive to prevent yourvehicle from rolling down the slope. Thisis an advantage when pulling away on aslope, (for example from a car park ramp,traffic lights or when reversing uphill intoa parking space).
The system will activate automatically onany slope which can result in significantvehicle rollback.
Using Hill Start Assist
1.Press the brake pedal to bring yourvehicle to a complete standstill. Keepthe brake pedal pressed.
2.If the sensors detect that your vehicleis on a slope, the system will beactivated automatically.
3.When you remove your foot from thebrake pedal, your vehicle will remainon the slope without rolling away forapproximately two or three seconds.This hold time will automatically beextended if you are in the process ofdriving off.
4.Drive off in the normal manner. Thebrakes will be released automatically.
Switching the System On and Off
Note:The system can only be switched onand off for manual transmissions.
Note:Once you have switched off thesystem, it will remain off until you switch iton again.
Your vehicle comes with the systemalready enabled. If desired, you can disablethe feature: See General Information(page 58).

WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive with duecare and attention.
If your vehicles has a trailer towmodule not approved by us, thesystem may not correctly detectobstacles.
The sensors may not detect objectsin heavy rain or other conditions thatcause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objectswith surfaces that absorb ultrasonicwaves.
The system does not detectobstacles moving away from yourvehicle. They will only be detectedshortly after they start to move towardyour vehicle.
Take particular care when reversingwith a tow ball arm or rear fittedaccessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, asthe rear parking aid will only indicate thedistance from the bumper to the obstacle.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray thesensors briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (20 centimetres).
Note:If your vehicle has a tow ball arm, thesystem is switched off automatically whenany trailer lamps (or lighting boards) areconnected to the 13-pin socket via a trailertow module we have approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt, iceand snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The system may emit false tones ifit detects a signal using the same frequencyas the sensors or if your vehicle is fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect theside walls of a garage. If the distancebetween the outer sensor and the side wallremains constant for three seconds, thetone will switch off. As you continue, theinner sensors will detect rearward objects.
PARKING AID
WARNINGS
To help avoid personal injury, readand understand the limitations of thesystem as contained in this section.Sensing is only an aid for some (generallylarge and fixed) objects when moving inreverse on a flat surface at parking speeds.Traffic control systems, inclementweather, air brakes and external motorsand fans may also affect the function ofthe sensing system. This may includereduced performance or a false activation.
To help avoid personal injury, alwaysuse caution when moving in reverseand when using the sensing system.
This system is not designed toprevent contact with small or movingobjects. The system is designed toprovide a warning to assist the driver indetecting large stationary objects to avoiddamaging the vehicle. The system may notdetect smaller objects, particularly thoseclose to the ground.
Certain add-on devices such as largetrailer hitches, bike or surfboard racksand any device that may block thenormal detection zone of the system, maycreate false audible warnings.
Note:Keep the sensors located on thebumper or fascia free from snow, ice andlarge accumulations of dirt. If the sensorsare covered, the system’s accuracy can beaffected. Do not clean the sensors withsharp objects.
