96Instruments and controlsRemote control
If desired, use any phone to call an
advisor, who can remotely operate
specific vehicle functions. Find the
respective OnStar phone number on
our country-specific website.
The following functions are available: ● Lock or unlock vehicle.
● Provide information on the vehicle location.
● Honk horn or flash lights.
Stolen vehicle assistance
If the vehicle is stolen, report the theft to the authorities and request OnStar
stolen vehicle assistance. Use any
phone to call an advisor. Find the
respective OnStar phone number on
our country-specific website.
OnStar can provide support in
locating and recovering the vehicle.Restart prevention
By sending remote signals, OnStar can prevent the vehicle from
restarting once it has been turned off.On-demand diagnostics
At any time e.g. if the vehicle displays a vehicle message, press Z to
contact an advisor and ask to
complete a real-time diagnostic check
to directly determine the issue.
Depending on the results, the advisor
will provide further support.
Diagnostic report
The vehicle automatically transmits
diagnostic data to OnStar which
sends a monthly email report to you
and your preferred workshop.
Notice
The workshop notification function
can be disabled in your account.
The report contains the status of key
operating systems of the vehicle like
engine, transmission, airbags, ABS,
and other major systems. It also
provides information on possible
maintenance items and tyre pressure (only with tyre pressure monitoring
system).
To look at the information in greater
detail, select the link within the email
and log in to your account.Destination download
A desired destination can be directly
downloaded to the navigation system.
Press Z to call an advisor and
describe the destination or point of
interest.
The advisor can look up any address
or point of interest and directly send
the destination to the built-in
navigation system.
OnStar settings
OnStar PIN
To have full access to all OnStar
services, a four-digit PIN is required. The PIN has to be personalised when first talking to an advisor.
To change the PIN, press Z to call an
advisor.
Account data
An OnStar subscriber has an account
where all the data is stored. To
request a change of the account
information, press Z and talk to an
advisor or log in to your account.

The asymmetrical headlight beam
extends visibility at the edge of the
road at the passenger side.
However, when driving in countries
where traffic drives on the opposite
side of the road, adjust the headlights to prevent dazzling of oncoming
traffic.
Turn adjuster on both headlight

Daytime running lights
Daytime running light increases
visibility of the vehicle during daylight.
They are switched on automatically
when ignition is on.
Hazard warning flashers
Operated by pressing ¨.
In the event of an accident with airbag
deployment the hazard warning
flashers are activated automatically.

Lighting103Notice
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment the courtesy
lights are turned on automatically.
Dome light
Spotlight incorporated in the interior
lighting comes on when headlights are switched on.
Dome light illuminates gear shifting
console indirectly.
Ambient light Ambient light consists of indirect
lights in the doors, in the instrument
panel below the heating and
ventilation unit and in the passenger
foot well. Eight colours can be
selected by a button in the roof
console.

time the ignition is switched on.
Ambient light comes on automatically when switching off ignition and
extinguishes after opening a door.
Pressing m after switching off ignition;
ambient light remains on for
60 minutes.
Starlight panel
Starlight panel consists of approx. 64 LEDs. The intensity can be
dimmed with a button in the roof console.

Driving and operating121Caution
After running at high enginespeeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.
Notice
In the event of an accident with
airbag deployment, the engine is
turned off automatically if the vehicle
comes to a standstill within a certain time.
Engine exhaust9 Danger
Engine exhaust gases contain
poisonous carbon monoxide,
which is colourless and odourless and could be fatal if inhaled.
If exhaust gases enter the interior
of the vehicle, open the windows.
Have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop.
Avoid driving with an open load
compartment, otherwise exhaust
gases could enter the vehicle.
Exhaust filter
Automatic cleaning process
The exhaust filter system filters soot particles out of the exhaust gases.
The system includes a self-cleaning
function that runs automatically
during driving without any notification. The filter is cleaned by periodically
burning off the soot particles at high
temperature. This process takes
place automatically under set driving
conditions and may take up to
25 minutes. Typically it needs
between 7 and 12 minutes. Autostop
is not available and fuel consumption
may be higher during this period. The
emission of smells and smoke during
this process is normal.
System requires manual cleaning
process
Under certain driving conditions, e.g.
driving short distances, the system
cannot clean itself automatically.
If cleaning of the filter is required and if previous driving conditions did not
enable automatic cleaning, it will be

Customer information213Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate,
"seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle
condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.Depending on technical equipment
levels, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used where necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating datawhich is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
