It monitors:
■ Doors, tailgate, bonnet
■ Passenger compartment,
■ Load compartment,
■ Vehicle inclination, e.g. if it is raised
■ Ignition
■ Interruption of alarm siren power supply.
Activation All doors and the bonnet must be

vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 20,
3 26.

Driving and operating95
The increased engine speed
automatically returns to normal idling
speed as the engine temperature
rises.
Start attempts should not last longer

Parking ■ Do not park the vehicle on an easily
ignitable surface. The high
temperature of the exhaust system
could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake without
pressing release button. Apply as firmly as possible on a downhill oruphill slopes. Operate the foot
brake at the same time to reduce
operating force.
■ Switch off the engine and ignition. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to

■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or
uphill slope, engage first gear
before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill slope,
engage reverse gear before
switching off the ignition. Turn the
front wheels towards the kerb.
■ Lock the vehicle and activate the anti-theft locking and anti-theft
alarm systems.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.
Diesel particle filter
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful 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

108Driving and operatingObject detection
systems
Parking assist
The parking assist makes reverse
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the rear of the
vehicle and obstacles. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility for parking.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in the rear bumper.
Notice
Attached parts in the detection area
cause system malfunction.
Activation
When reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic alarm.
An obstacle is indicated by buzzers.
The interval between the buzzers
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the buzzer is continuous.9 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.
Deactivation
It is possible to permanently or
temporarily deactivate the system.
Temporary deactivation
Temporarily deactivate the system by
pressing the E button on the
instrument panel with the ignition on
and reverse gear engaged. When
reverse gear is selected no acoustic
signal will sound, indicating
deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing button E again or the next
time the ignition is switched on.

Driving and operating109
Permanent deactivation
Permanently deactivate the system
by pressing and holding the E button
on the instrument panel for approx. 3 seconds with the ignition on and
reverse gear engaged. The system is deactivated and will not operate.
When reverse gear is selected no
acoustic signal will sound, indicating
deactivation.
The function is reactivated by
pressing and holding button E for
approx. 3 seconds.
Fault
If the system detects an operating
fault, a continuous acoustic alarm will sound for approx. 5 seconds whenselecting reverse gear. Consult a
workshop to have the cause of the
fault remedied.Caution
When reversing, the area should
be free from obstacles which could
impact on the underside of the
vehicle.
Impact to the rear axle, which may
not be visible, could lead to
uncharacteristic changes in the
vehicle handling. In the event of
such an impact, consult a
workshop.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 3 154. 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.
