Note:
Depending on applicable laws and
regulations in the country for which your
vehicle was originally built, the brake lamps
may flash if you brake heavily.
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal and
often does not indicate a concern. In normal
operation, the system may emit occasional
or intermittent squeal or groan noises when
the brakes are applied. Such noises are
usually caused by environmental conditions
such as cold, heat, moisture, road dust, salt
or mud.
Disc brakes
Wet brake discs result in reduced braking
efficiency. Dab the brake pedal when
driving from a car wash to remove the film
of water.
ABS WARNING
The ABS does not relieve you of your
responsibility to drive with due care
and attention.
The ABS helps you to maintain full steering
and directional stability when you brake
heavily in an emergency, by preventing the
road wheels from locking.
HINTS ON DRIVING WITH
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
When the ABS is operating, the brake pedal
will pulse. This is normal. Maintain pressure
on the brake pedal.
The ABS will not eliminate the dangers
inherent when:
•
you drive too close to the vehicle in
front of you.
• the vehicle is aquaplaning. •
you take corners too fast.
• the road surface is poor.
PARKING BRAKE WARNING
Vehicles with an automatic
transmission should always be left
with the selector lever in position P
(Park). •
Press the foot brake pedal firmly.
• Pull the parking brake lever up smartly
to its fullest extent.
• Do not press the release button while
pulling the lever up.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing uphill, select first gear or P
(Park) and turn the steering wheel
away from the kerb.
• If your vehicle is parked on a hill and
facing downhill, select reverse gear or
P (Park) and turn the steering wheel
towards the kerb.
To release the parking brake, press the
brake pedal firmly, pull the lever up slightly,
depress the release button and push the
lever down.

WARNING
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Parking aid sends tones via the audio
system fitted and approved by us. If
this is not working the parking aid
system will not work. Note:
On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the rear parking aid is deactivated
automatically when any trailer lamps (or
lighting boards) are connected to the 13-pin
socket via a trailer tow module we have
approved.
Note: Keep the sensors free from dirt, ice
and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note: The parking aid may emit false tones
if it detects a signal using the same
frequency as the sensors or if the vehicle is
fully laden. Note:
The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance
between the outer sensor and the side wall
remains constant for three seconds, the
tone will switch off. As you continue, the
inner sensors will detect rearward objects.
USING THE PARKING AID -
VEHICLES WITH: REAR
PARKING AID WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
The parking aid is automatically activated
when you select reverse gear with the
ignition switched on.
You will hear an intermittent tone at a
distance of approximately 150 centimetres
(59 inches) between the obstacle and rear
bumper and approximately 50 centimetres
(20 inches) to the side. Decreasing the
distance accelerates the intermittent tone.

WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention.
At all times you are responsible for
controlling the vehicle, supervising
the system and intervening if
required. You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions
at all times in the manoeuver.
Vehicles with overhanging loads,
street furniture and other items may
not be detected by the system. You
must make sure that the selected space
is suitable for parking. Do not use the system if a trailer is
attached to the vehicle.
Do not use the system if a bike rack
is attached to the back of the vehicle.
Do not use the system if an
overhanging item is attached to the
roof.
If the manoeuvre is interrupted
before completion, the system will
be disabled. The steering wheel
position will not indicate the true position
of the steering and you will have to take
control of the vehicle. Make sure that loose clothing, your
hands or your arms do not get caught
in the rotating steering wheel. The system will detect a suitable parallel
parking space and steer the vehicle into
the space. The system controls the
steering while the driver controls the
accelerator, transmission and brakes. The
manoeuvre can be stopped at any time by
holding the steering wheel or pressing the
active park assist switch. See At a Glance
(page 10).
The system will visually and audibly
instruct the driver throughout the
procedure to safely park the vehicle.
USING ACTIVE PARK ASSIST
CAUTIONS
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The sensors may not detect the kerb.
Note:
If the traction control system is
disabled active park assist will not be
available. See General Information (page
83).
The system will not align the vehicle
correctly if:
• a spare tyre, or a tyre worn significantly
more than the other tyres is used
• the factory installed tyre size is not
used on the vehicle
• the tyres skid
• you allow the vehicle to roll
• the weather conditions are poor (heavy
rain, snow, fog, etc).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 100 km/h (62 mph).
The rear tyre pressures must be
increased by 0.2 bar (3 psi) above
specification. See Technical
Specifications (page 209). Do not exceed the maximum gross
train weight stated on the vehicle
identification plate. See Vehicle
identification (page 214). CAUTION
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible nose weight, i.e. vertical
weight on the tow ball, of 75
kilogrammes (165 pounds). Note:
Not all vehicles are suitable or
approved to have tow bars fitted. Check
with your dealer first.
Place loads as low and central to the
axle(s) of the trailer as possible. If you are
towing with an unladen vehicle, the load
in the trailer should be placed toward the
nose, within the maximum nose load, as
this gives the best stability.
The stability of the vehicle to trailer
combination is very much dependant on
the quality of the trailer.
In high altitude regions above 1000 metres
(3281 feet), the stipulated maximum
permitted gross train weight must be
reduced by 10% for every additional 1000
metres (3281 feet).
Steep gradients WARNING
The overrun brake on a trailer is not
controlled by ABS. Change down a gear before you reach a
steep downhill gradient.
RETRACTABLE TOW BALL
CAUTION
Only move the tow ball arm with your
hand. Never use your foot or auxiliary
tools as damage to the mechanism
may result. You can turn the retractable tow ball arm
through 90 degrees using the handwheel
A.
A 13-pin trailer socket B is provided
underneath the rear bumper next to the
tow ball arm C.

CAUTION
Make sure that you use the correct
wheel nuts for the type of wheel the
winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that the
tyre pressures are correct. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Do not use snow chains on snow-free
roads.
Only fit snow chains to specified
tyres. See Technical
Specifications (page 209).
CAUTION
If your vehicle is fitted with wheel
trims, remove them before fitting
snow chains.
Note:
The ABS will continue to operate
normally.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimetre or
smaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with stability control
(ESP)
Vehicles with stability control (ESP) may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics which can be reduced by
switching traction control off. See Using
Stability Control (page 145). TYRE PRESSURE
MONITORING SYSTEM WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you of
your responsibility to regularly check
the tyre pressures.
The system will only provide a low
tyre pressure warning. It will not
inflate the tyres.
Do not drive on significantly
under-inflated tyres. This may cause
the tyres to overheat and fail.
Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tyre
tread life and may also affect your ability
to drive the vehicle safely. CAUTIONS
Do not bend or damage the valves
when you are inflating the tyres.
Have tyres installed by properly
trained technicians.
The Deflation Detection System will alert
you if there is a change of air pressure in
any tyre. It does this by using the ABS
sensors to detect the rolling circumference
of the wheels. When the circumference
changes, this indicates low pressure in a
tyre, a warning message is displayed in the
information display and the message
indicator will illuminate. See Information
Messages (page 90).
If a low pressure warning message is
displayed in the information display, check
the tyre pressures as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended
pressure. See Technical Specifications
(page 209).
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.
