144Driving and operating
If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no
obstacles near the front or rear
bumper, there is a fault in the system.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop.
Important hints for using theparking assist system9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Only use unleaded fuel that complies
with European standard EN 228 or
E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
Your engine is capable of running
with E10 fuel that fulfills these
standards. E10 fuel contains up to
10 % bioethanol.
Use fuel with the recommended
octane rating 3 205. Use of fuel with
too low an 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.

Driving and operating145Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
equivalent can lead to deposits or
engine damage and may affect
your warranty.
Caution
Use of fuel with too low an octane
rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.
Notice
Use unleaded Premium fuel only for
the following countries:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Moldova.
Fuel for ethanol adapted
engines (E85) If access to E85 is limited then fuel
with a different proportion of ethanol
or normal RON 95 can be used for
refuelling. The engine's control
management system is adjusted
automatically according to the
amount of ethanol in the fuel.
E85 fuel must fulfil the CWA 15293 or
SS 155480 standard.
When the temperature is about
-10 °C or lower a greater proportion of petrol should be used. E85 in
combination with low temperatures
could lead to the car being more
difficult to start. A slightly higher
proportion of petrol improves the cold start properties considerably.
During the engine's warm-up phase
(below +50 °C) engine torque is
limited when driving with a proportion of ethanol.
Ethanol contains less energy per litre
than petrol, which is why fuel
consumption increases when driving
on E85 compared with petrol. A
consequence of this is that a tank of
E85 covers fewer miles than a tank of petrol.Caution
Certain additives in petrol could, in
combination with ethanol, cause
reduced driveability. For this
reason, refuel with a full tank of
petrol every 6,000 miles. Use up
the majority of this before
refuelling the vehicle again.
Fuel for diesel engines
Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590.
In countries outside the European
Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.
Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply
with EN 590 or similar can lead to engine power loss, increased
wear or engine damage and loss
of warranty.
