WARNINGS
Extended idling at high enginespeeds can produce very hightemperatures in the engine andexhaust system, creating the risk of fire orother damage.
Do not park, idle or drive your vehicleon dry grass or other dry groundcover. The emission system heats upthe engine compartment and exhaustsystem, creating the risk of fire.
Do not start the engine in a closedgarage or in other enclosed areas.Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Alwaysopen the garage door before you start theengine.
If you smell exhaust fumes insideyour vehicle, have your vehiclechecked by an authorized dealerimmediately. Do not drive your vehicle ifyou smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics for approximately 5 miles(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. Thisis because the engine management systemmust realign itself with the engine. You candisregard any unusual drivingcharacteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets allCanadian interference-causing equipmentstandard requirements regulating theimpulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the engine, avoid pressingthe accelerator pedal before and duringoperation. Only use the accelerator pedalwhen you have difficulty starting theengine.

DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER
The filter forms part of the emissionsreduction system on your vehicle. It filtersharmful diesel particulates (soot) from theexhaust gas.
Regeneration
WARNINGS
Do not park or idle your vehicle overdry leaves, dry grass or othercombustible materials. Theregeneration process creates very highexhaust gas temperatures and the exhaustwill radiate a considerable amount of heatduring and after regeneration and after youhave switched the engine off. This is apotential fire hazard.
Avoid running out of fuel.
Note:During regeneration at low speed orengine idle, you may smell a hot metallicodor and could notice a clicking metallicsound. This is due to the high temperaturesreached during regeneration and is normal.
Note:After you have switched your engineoff the fans may continue to run for a shortperiod of time.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine A normal filter requires periodicreplacement. The diesel particulate filteron your vehicle requires periodicregeneration to maintain its correctfunction. Your vehicle will carry out thisprocess automatically.
If your journeys meet one of the followingconditions:
•You drive only short distances.
•You frequently switch the ignition onand off.
•Your journeys contain a high level ofacceleration and deceleration.
You must carry out occasional trips withthe following conditions to assist theregeneration process:
•Drive your vehicle in more favorableconditions, which you will find at highervehicle speeds in normal driving, on amain road or freeway for a minimumof 20 minutes. This drive may includeshort stops that will not affect theregeneration process.
•Avoid prolonged idling and alwaysobserve speed limits and roadconditions.
•Do not switch the ignition off.
•Select a suitable gear to ideallymaintain engine speed between 1500and 3000 RPM.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE

WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine ifyou have filled the fuel tank with theincorrect fuel. This could damage theengine. Have the system checked by anauthorized dealer immediately.
Do not use any kind of flames or heatnear the fuel system. The fuel systemis under pressure. There is a risk ofinjury if the fuel system is leaking.
If you use a high pressure spray towash your vehicle, only spray the fuelfiller flap briefly from a distance notless than 8 inches (200 millimeters).
We recommend that you wait atleast 10 seconds before removing thefuel pipe nozzle to allow any residualfuel to drain into the fuel tank.
Stop refueling after the fuel nozzlestops the second time. Additionalfuel will fill the expansion space inthe fuel tank which could lead to fueloverflowing. Fuel spillage could behazardous to other road users.
Do not remove the nozzle from itsfully inserted position during theentire refueling process.
Note:It is not possible to fully open thesliding door when the fuel filler flap is open.
Note:Your vehicle does not have a fuel fillercap.
1.Press the flap to open it. Open the flapfully until it engages.
Note:When you insert the correct size fuelnozzle, a spring loaded inhibitor will open.This helps to avoid filling up with the wrongfuel.
2.Insert the fuel nozzle up to andincluding the first notch on the nozzleA. Keep it resting on the cover of thefuel pipe opening.

4.Operate the nozzle within the areashown.
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. Whenrefueling 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 refueling:
•Switch the ignition off before refueling.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 refueling.
Results are most accurate when therefueling method is consistent.
