156Driving and operatingSide blind spot alert is active from
speeds of 6 mph up to 87 mph.
Driving faster than 87 mph
deactivates the system, indicated by
low lighting warning symbols B in
both exterior mirrors. Reducing the speed again will extinguish the
warning symbols. If a vehicle is then
detected in the blind zone, the
warning symbols B will illuminate as
normal on the relevant side.
When the vehicle is started, both exterior mirror displays will briefly
illuminate to indicate that the system
is operating.

bumper and extend approx. three
metres rearwards and to the sides.
The height of the zone is between
approx. 0.5 metres and two metres off the ground.The system is deactivated if the
vehicle is towing a trailer.

In the event of a fault in the system or if the system does not work due to
temporary conditions, a message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating. A lower octane rating can reduce engine power and torque
and slightly increases fuel
consumption.Caution
Do not use fuel or fuel additives
that contain metallic compounds
such as manganese-based
additives. This may cause engine
damage.

158Driving and operatingCaution
The system works at an ambient
temperature of approx. -8 °C to
