WARNINGS
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Thepressure in an overfilled tank maycause leakage and lead to fuel sprayand fire.
The fuel system may be underpressure. If you hear a hissing soundnear the fuel filler door (Easy Fuelcapless fuel system), do not refuel untilthe sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may sprayout, which could cause serious personalinjury.
Automotive fuels can cause seriousinjury or death if misused ormishandled.
The flow of fuel through a fuel pumpnozzle can produce static electricity,which can cause a fire if fuel ispumped into an ungrounded fuel container.
Fuel ethanol and gasoline maycontain benzene, which is acancer-causing agent.
When refueling always shut theengine off and never allow sparks oropen flames near the filler neck.Never smoke or use a cell phone whilerefueling. Fuel vapor is extremelyhazardous under certain conditions. Avoidinhaling excess fumes.
Observe the following guidelines whenhandling automotive fuel:
•Extinguish all smoking materials andany open flames before refueling yourvehicle.
•Always turn off the vehicle beforerefueling.
•Automotive fuels can be harmful orfatal if swallowed. Fuel such asgasoline is highly toxic and ifswallowed can cause death orpermanent injury. If fuel is swallowed,call a physician immediately, even if nosymptoms are immediately apparent.The toxic effects of fuel may not bevisible for hours.
•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling toomuch fuel vapor of any kind can leadto eye and respiratory tract irritation.In severe cases, excessive or prolongedbreathing of fuel vapor can causeserious illness and permanent injury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. Iffuel is splashed in the eyes, removecontact lenses (if worn), flush withwater for 15 minutes and seek medicalattention. Failure to seek propermedical attention could lead topermanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbedthrough the skin. If fuel is splashed onthe skin, clothing or both, promptlyremove contaminated clothing andwash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Repeated or prolonged skincontact with fuel liquid or vapor causesskin irritation.
•Be particularly careful if you are taking“Antabuse” or other forms of disulfiramfor the treatment of alcoholism.Breathing gasoline vapors, or skincontact could cause an adversereaction. In sensitive individuals, seriouspersonal injury or sickness may result.If fuel is splashed on the skin, promptlywash skin thoroughly with soap andwater. Consult a physician immediatelyif you experience an adverse reaction.

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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
A decal with tire pressure data is locatedin the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tire pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and whenthe tires are cold.
Note:Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy.
Note:Use only approved wheel and tiresizes. Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle and will make the National TypeApproval invalid.
Note:If you change the diameter of the tiresfrom that fitted at the factory, thespeedometer may not display the correctspeed. Take your vehicle to an authorizeddealer to have the engine managementsystem reprogrammed.
Note:If you intend to change the size of thewheels from that fitted at the factory, checkthe suitability with an authorized dealer.
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.Therefore you will have a temporarymobility kit which will only repair onedamaged tire.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent oftire damage, some tires can only bepartially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tire pressure can affect vehiclehandling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tire, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
Do not try to seal damage to thetire’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with adiameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimeters)]to temporarily restore mobility.
You must observe the following rules whenusing the kit:
•Drive with caution and avoid makingsudden steering or driving manoeuvres,especially if your vehicle is heavilyladen or you are towing a trailer.
•The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair, enablingyou to continue your journey to the nextvehicle or tire dealer, or to drive amaximum distance of 125 miles(200 kilometers).
•Do not exceed a maximum speed of50 mph (80 km/h).
•Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -40°F(–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).
Using the Kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended whilein use.
Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10 minutes.
You must only use the kit for thevehicle with which it was supplied.

WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtires. See Technical Specifications(page 183).
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 111).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tire pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtire pressure warning. It will notinflate the tires.
WARNINGS
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tires. This may causethe tires to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tiretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tires.
Have tires installed by an authorizeddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tire. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtire pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 67).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tire pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 183).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
Apart from a too low tire pressure or adamaged tire, the following situations canaffect the rolling circumference:
•Vehicle load is uneven.
•When using a trailer or traveling up anddown an incline.
•Using snow chains.
•Driving on soft surfaces such as snowor mud.
Note:The system will still functioncorrectly, but there may be an increaseddetection time.
