idling speed.
Aft er st
arting the descent of a sl
ope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a mini-
mum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the
driver may increase or decrease the speed
within the limit by pressing the accelerator or
the brake. At this point the function is interrup-
ted and, if necessary, it is then reactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guar-
antees sufficient adhesion. For this reason,
the Hill Descent Control will not fulfil its func-
tion when, for example, descending a slope
with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the
dash panel display shows the message k.
Hill Descent Control automatically intervenes
if the following conditions are met:

Driving
In vehicles with automatic transmission, the
gear change points ar e modified t
o position
them in l
ower or higher engine speed ranges.
In manual gearbox vehicles, the Eco profile
causes the gear change recommendation in-
dications that appear on the dash panel to
vary, facilitating more efficient driving.
The inertia mode function is associated with
the following modes: Eco , Normal and Indi-
vidual

The v
ehicl
e is fitt
ed with a 13-pole power
socket for the electrical connection between
the trailer and the vehicle. With the engine
running, electrical devices on the trailer re-
ceive power from the electrical connection
(pin 9 and pin 10 of the trailer power socket).
If the system detects that a trailer has been
connected electrically, the electrical equip-
ment on the trailer will receive voltage
through this connection (pins 9 and 10). Pin 9
has a permanent live. This powers, for exam-
ple, the trailer

Fuel Identification of the fuel 1)Fig. 300
Identification of fuels according to
Eur opean Union (EU) Dir
ectiv
e 2014/94/Fuels are identified with different symbols.
Depending on the fuel, the diff
er
ent symbol

s
are on the pump and the tank lid of your vehi-
cle. The identification serves to prevent con-
fusion when choosing the fuel.
Petrol with ethanol (“E” stands for Etha-
nol). The number indicates the percent-
age of ethanol in the petrol. “E5” means,
for example, an ethanol ratio of 5% max.
Diesel with biodiesel (“B” stands for Bio-
diesel). The number indicates the per-
1 2 centage of biodiesel in the diesel. “B7”
means, f
or e
x

ample, a proportion of bio-
diesel of max. 7%.
Natural gas: “CNG” means Compressed
Natural Gas.
Type of petrol  Applies to vehicles: with petrol engine
The corr ect gr

ade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded
petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 2)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).
The following pieces of text show the infor-
mation included in the corresponding stickers
on the tank lid (examples): 3 Super unleaded petrol 95 octane petrol or
normal 91 oct
ane petr
ol at l

east
We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light

Practical tips
If the recommended engine oil is not availa-
bl e
, in the e
vent of an emergency you can
add oil once up to a maximum of 0.5 L of the
next oil until the next oil change:

Checking and refilling levels
Depending on how you drive and the condi-
tions in which the v ehicl
e is used, oil con-
sumption can be up t
o 0.5 l/1000 km. Oil
consumption is likely to be higher for the first
5,000 km. For this reason the engine oil level
must be checked at regular intervals, prefera-
bly when filling the tank and before a journey. WARNING
Any work carried out in the engine com-
partment or on the engine must be carried out cautiously.

Practical tips
The oil change intervals are shown in the
Maint enance Pr
ogr
amme.WARNING
Only change the engine oil yourself if you
have the specialist kno wl

edge required!
