Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
CAUTION
For vehicles with Start-stop the
battery requirement is different. It
must be replaced by one of exactly
the same specification as the original. The system reduces fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions by shutting down the
engine when the vehicle is idling, for
example at traffic lights. The engine will
automatically restart when the driver
presses the clutch pedal or when required
by a vehicle system, for example to
recharge the battery.
To obtain maximum benefit from the
system, move the gear lever to the neutral
position and release the clutch pedal
during any stop of longer than three
seconds.
USING START-STOP
WARNINGS
The engine may restart
automatically if required by the
system. See Principle of Operation
(page 133). Switch the ignition off before
opening the bonnet or carrying out
any maintenance.
Always switch the ignition off before
leaving your vehicle, as the system
may have shut down the engine but
the ignition will still be live. Note:
The system only operates when the
engine is warm and the outside temperature
is between 0°C (32°F) and 30°C (86°F). Note:
If you stall the engine, and then
depress the clutch pedal within a couple of
seconds, the system will automatically
restart the engine.
Note: The Start-stop indicator will
illuminate green when the engine shuts
down. See Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 79).
Note: The Start-stop indicator will flash
amber, requiring you to select neutral or
depress the clutch pedal. In conjunction a
message will be shown in the display.
Note: If the system detects a malfunction,
it is deactivated. Have the system checked
by a properly trained technician.
Note: If you have switched the system off,
the switch will be illuminated.
Note: The system is on by default. To
switch the system off, press the switch in
the instrument panel. The system will only
be de-activated for the current ignition
cycle. To turn it on, press the switch again.
For item location. See At a Glance (page
10). To stop the engine
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move the gear lever to the neutral
position.
3. Release the clutch pedal.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
The system may not shut down the engine
under certain conditions, for example:
• To maintain the interior climate.
• Low battery voltage.
• The outside temperature is too low or
too high.
• The driver's door has been opened.

3. Do not lift the nozzle during refilling. This
can affect the flow of fuel and shut off of
the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full. 4. Operate the nozzle within the area
shown.
WARNINGS
We recommend that you remove the
fuel nozzle slowly to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank. Alternatively you can wait 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle. Do not remove the nozzle from its
fully inserted position during the
entire refuelling process. 5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove
it.
Refuelling with a fuel can
Use the funnel which is located in the glove
box.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are
derived from laboratory tests according to
EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and
subsequent amendments and are carried
out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the real
world fuel consumption you may get from
your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption
is governed by many factors including;
driving style, high speed driving, stop/start
driving, air conditioning usage, the
accessories fitted and towing etc.

Tyres
WARNING
New tyres need to be run-in for
approximately 500 kilometres (300
miles). During this time, you may
experience different driving characteristics. Brakes and clutch
WARNING
Avoid heavy use of the brakes and
clutch if possible for the first 150
kilometres (100 miles) in town and
for the first 1500 kilometres (1000 miles)
on motorways. Engine
CAUTION
Avoid driving too fast during the first
1500 kilometres (1000 miles). Vary
your speed frequently and change up
through the gears early. Do not labour the
engine. COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below -30°C (-22°F).
DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Driving through water
CAUTIONS
Drive through water in an emergency
only, and not as part of normal driving.
Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter. In an emergency, the vehicle can be driven
through water to a maximum depth of 200
millimetres (8 inches) and at a maximum
speed of 10 km/h (6 mph). Extra caution
should be exercised when driving through
flowing water.
When driving in water, maintain a low
speed and do not stop the vehicle. After
driving through water, and as soon as it is
safe to do so:
•
Depress the brake pedal lightly and
check that full brake function is
achieved.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the vehicle's lights are fully
operational.
• Check the power assistance
of the steering system.

1. Open the lid of the tyre repair kit.
2. Peel off the label I showing the maximum permissible speed of
80 km/h (50 mph) from the casing and
attach it to the instrument panel in the
driver ’s field of view. Make sure the
label does not obscure anything
important.
3. Take the hose C and the power plug with cable G out of the kit.
4. Unscrew the orange cap D and the bottle lid J.
5. Screw the sealant bottle K clockwise into the bottle holder E fully tight.
6. Remove the valve cap from the damaged tyre.
7. Detach the protective cap A from the hose C and screw the hose C firmly
onto the valve of the damaged tyre.
8. Make sure that the compressor switch
H is in position 0.
9. Insert the power plug G into the cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power socket.
See Cigar Lighter (page 122). See
Auxiliary Power Points (page 123).
10. Start the engine.
11. Move the compressor switch H to position 1.
12. Inflate the tyre for no longer than seven minutes to an inflation pressure
of minimum 1.8 bar (26 psi) and a
maximum of 3.5 bar (51 psi). Move
the compressor switch H to position
0 and check the current tyre pressure
with pressure gauge F. 13. Remove the power plug G from the
cigar lighter socket or auxiliary power
socket.
14. Quickly unscrew the hose C from the
tyre valve and replace the protective
cap A. Fasten the valve cap again.
15. Leave the sealant bottle K in the bottle holder E.
16. Make sure the kit, the bottle lid and the orange cap are stored safely, but
still easily accessible in the vehicle.
The kit will be required again when
you check the tyre pressure.
17. Immediately drive approximately three kilometres (two miles) so that
the sealant can seal the damaged
area.
Note: When pumping in the sealant through
the tyre valve, the pressure may rise up to
6 bar (87 psi) but will drop again after about
30 seconds. WARNING
If you experience heavy vibrations,
unsteady steering behaviour or
noises while driving, reduce your
speed and drive with caution to a place
where it is safe for you to stop the vehicle.
Recheck the tyre and its pressure. If the
tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi) or
if there are any cracks, bumps or similar
damage visible, do not continue driving
with this tyre. Checking the tyre pressure
1. Stop the vehicle after driving
approximately three kilometres
(two miles). Check, and where
necessary, adjust the pressure of the
damaged tyre.
2. Attach the kit and read the tyre pressure from the pressure gauge F.
