Child restraintsChild restraint systems

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraintsystem on the front passengerseat, the airbag system for thefront passenger seat must bedeactivated. This also applies tocertain forward-facing childrestraint systems as indicated inthe tables 3 49.

Airbag deactivation 3 45.Airbag label 3 40.We recommend a child restraintsystem which is tailored specifically tothe vehicle. For further information,contact your workshop.When a child restraint system is beingused, pay attention to the followingusage and installation instructions aswell as to those supplied with the childrestraint system.


Always comply with local or nationalregulations. In some countries, theuse of child restraint systems isforbidden on certain seats.Child restraint systems can befastened with:● Three-point seat belt● ISOFIX brackets● Top-tether anchor

Three-point seat beltChild restraint systems can befastened by using a three-point seatbelt. After fastening the child restraintsystem the seat belt has to betightened 3 49.

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIXchild restraint systems to the ISOFIXmounting brackets. Specific vehicleISOFIX child restraint systempositions are marked in the table byIL.ISOFIX mounting brackets areindicated by a ISOFIX label on thebackrest.ISOFIX child restraint systems ofuniversal category positions aremarked in the table by IUF.Either a Top-tether strap or a supportleg must be used in addition to theISOFIX mounting brackets.

Selecting the right systemThe rear seats are the mostconvenient location to fasten a childrestraint system.Children should travel facingrearwards in the vehicle as long aspossible. This ensures that the child'sbackbone, which is still very weak, isunder less strain in the event of anaccident.Suitable are restraint systems thatcomply with valid UN ECEregulations. Check local laws andregulations for mandatory use of childrestraint systems.Ensure that the child restraint systemto be installed is compatible with thevehicle type.Refer to the tables on the followingpages, the instructions supplied withthe child restraint system and thevehicle type list of non-universal childrestraint systems.

The following child restraints arerecommended for the followingweight classes:● Group 0, Group 0+

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with ISOFIXbase, for children up to 13 kg

● Group IDuo Plus with ISOFIX and Toptether, for children from 9 kg to18 kg in this group

● Group II, Group IIIKidfix XP with or without ISOFIXfor children from 15 kg to 36 kgNania / OSANN Dream Boosterwith or without ISOFIX forchildren from 22 kg to 36 kg

Ensure that the mounting location ofthe child restraint system within thevehicle is correct, see followingtables.Allow children to enter and exit thevehicle only on the side facing awayfrom the traffic.When the child restraint system is notin use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.

Retained power offThe following electronic systems areoperable until the driver's door isopened or at the latest for10 minutes after the ignition isswitched off:● power windows● power outlets● power sunroof

Power to the Infotainment system willcontinue to operate for 30 minutes oruntil the key is removed from theignition switch, regardless of whetherany door is opened.


Starting the engine

Turn key to position 1 to release thesteering wheel lock.Operate clutch and brake pedal.Do not operate the accelerator pedal.Turn key briefly to position 3 andrelease: an automatic procedureoperates the starter after a briefdelay, until the engine is running. See"Automatic Starter Control".Before restarting or to switch off theengine, turn the key back to position0.

During an Autostop, the engine canbe started by depressing the clutchpedal.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-30 °C.Required is an engine oil with thecorrect viscosity, the correct fuel,performed services and a sufficientlycharged vehicle battery.

Automatic starter controlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot need to hold the key in position 3.Once applied, the system will go onstarting automatically until the engineis running. Because of the checkingprocedure, the engine starts runningafter a short delay.Possible reasons for a non-startingengine:● clutch pedal not operated● timeout occurred

Turbo engine warm-upUpon start-up, engine availabletorque may be limited for a short time,especially when the enginetemperature is cold. The limitation isto allow the lubrication system to fullyprotect the engine.

Overrun cut-offThe fuel supply is automatically cut offduring overrun, i.e. when the vehicleis driven with a gear engaged butaccelerator is released.Depending on driving conditions, theoverrun cut-off may be deactivated.

Stop-start systemThe stop-start system helps to savefuel and to reduce the exhaustemissions. When conditions allow, itswitches off the engine as soon as thevehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, e.g. at a traffic light or in atraffic jam.The engine is started automatically assoon as the clutch is depressed.


A vehicle battery sensor ensures thatan Autostop is only performed if thevehicle battery is sufficiently chargedfor a restart.

NoteIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isswitched off automatically if thevehicle comes to a standstill within acertain time.

Engine exhaust

9 Danger

Engine exhaust gases containpoisonous carbon monoxide,which is colourless and odourlessand could be fatal if inhaled.If exhaust gases enter the interiorof the vehicle, open the windows.Have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop.Avoid driving with an open loadcompartment, otherwise exhaustgases could enter the vehicle.

Catalytic converterThe catalytic converter reduces theamount of harmful substances in theexhaust gases.


Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 122, 3 171 coulddamage the catalytic converter orelectronic components.Unburnt petrol will overheat anddamage the catalytic converter.Therefore avoid excessive use ofthe starter, running the fuel tankdry and starting the engine bypushing or towing.

In the event of misfiring, unevenengine running, a reduction in engineperformance or other unusualproblems, have the cause of the faultrectified by a workshop as soon aspossible. In an emergency, drivingcan be continued for a short period,keeping vehicle speed and enginespeed low.

Manual transmission

To engage reverse, depress theclutch pedal and engage the reversegear.If the gear does not engage, set thelever to neutral, release the clutchpedal and depress again; then repeatgear selection.Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.When operating, depress the clutchpedal completely. Do not use thepedal as a foot rest.

Caution

It is not advisable to drive with thehand resting on the selector lever.

Upshift indication 3 72.Stop-start system 3 107.


BrakesThe brake system comprises twoindependent brake circuits.If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle canstill be braked using the other brakecircuit. However, braking effect isachieved only when the brake pedalis depressed firmly. Considerablymore force is needed for this. Thebraking distance is extended. Seekthe assistance of a workshop beforecontinuing the journey.When the engine is not running, thesupport of the brake servo unitdisappears once the brake pedal hasbeen depressed once or twice.Braking effect is not reduced, butbraking requires significantly greaterforce. It is especially important to bearthis in mind when being towed.Control indicator R 3 71.

Antilock brake systemAntilock brake system (ABS)prevents the wheels from locking.

ABS starts to regulate brake pressureas soon as a wheel shows a tendencyto lock. The vehicle remainssteerable, even during hard braking.ABS control is made apparentthrough a pulse in the brake pedaland the noise of the regulationprocess.For optimum braking, keep the brakepedal fully depressed throughout thebraking process, despite the fact thatthe pedal is pulsating. Do not reducethe pressure on the pedal.After starting-off the system performsa self-test which may be audible.Control indicator u 3 72.

Adaptive brake lightDuring full braking, all three brakelights flash for the duration of ABScontrol.

Fault

9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.


Parking brakeManual parking brake

9 Warning

Always apply parking brake firmlywithout operating the releasebutton, and apply as firmly aspossible on a downhill or uphillslope.To release the parking brake, pullthe lever up slightly, press therelease button and fully lower thelever.

To reduce the operating forces ofthe parking brake, depress thebrake pedal at the same time.

Brake assistIf the brake pedal is depressedquickly and forcefully, maximumbrake force is automatically applied(full braking).Maintain steady pressure on thebrake pedal for as long as full brakingis required. Maximum brake force isautomatically reduced when thebrake pedal is released.

Hill start assistThe system helps prevent unintendedmovement when driving away oninclines.When releasing the brake pedal afterstopping on an incline, the brakesremain on for a further 2 seconds. Thebrakes release automatically as soonas the vehicle begins to accelerate orthe 2 seconds holding time is over.

The hill start assist is only active whenthe engine is running.


Ride control systemsTraction Control systemThe Traction Control system (TC) is acomponent of the Electronic StabilityControl (ESC).TC improves driving stability whennecessary, regardless of the type ofroad surface or tyre grip, bypreventing the drive wheels fromspinning.As soon as the drive wheels start tospin, engine output is reduced andthe wheel spinning the most is brakedindividually. This considerablyimproves the driving stability of thevehicle on slippery road surfaces.

Parking assistRear parking assist

9 Warning

It is the driver who bears fullresponsibility for the parkingmanoeuvre.Always check the surroundingarea while reversing and using therear parking assist system.


The rear parking assist makesparking easier by measuring thedistance between the vehicle andrear obstacles. It informs and warnsthe driver by giving acoustic signalsand display indication.The system has three ultrasonicparking sensors in the rear bumper.

ActivationWhen reverse gear is engaged, thesystem is ready to operateautomatically.

IndicationThe system warns the driver withacoustic signals against potentiallyhazardous obstacles behind thevehicle. The interval between thesounds becomes shorter as thevehicle gets closer to that obstacle.When the distance is less thanapprox. 40 cm, the sound iscontinuous.

DeactivationThe system automatically switchesoff when reverse gear is disengaged.The system might not detect theobstacle when the vehicle is drivenabove 10 km/h.

FaultIn the event of a fault in the system,control indicator r illuminates in theinstrument cluster 3 72.Additionally if the system does notwork due to temporary conditions likesnow covered sensors, rilluminates.

Basic notes on parking assistsystems

9 Warning

Under certain circumstances,various reflective surfaces onobjects or clothing as well asexternal noise sources may causethe system to fail to detectobstacles.Special attention must be paid tolow obstacles which can damagethe lower part of the bumper.

Caution

Performance of the system can bereduced when sensors arecovered, e.g. by ice or snow.Performance of the parking assistsystem can be reduced due toheavy loading.Special conditions apply if thereare taller vehicles in the vicinity(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,vans). Object identification and


correct distance indication in theupper part of these vehiclescannot be guaranteed.Objects with a very small reflectioncross-section, e.g. objects ofnarrow size or soft materials, maynot be detected by the system.Parking assist systems do notdetect objects outside thedetection range.

Lane departure warningThe lane departure warning systemobserves the lane markings betweenwhich the vehicle is driving via a frontcamera. The system detects lanechanges and warns the driver in theevent of an unintended lane changevia visual and acoustic signals.Criteria for the detection of anunintended lane change are:● No operation of turn lights.● No brake pedal operation.● No active accelerator operation

or speeding-up.● No active steering.

If the driver is performing theseactions, no warning will be issued.

Activation

The lane departure warning system isactivated by pressing ). Theilluminated LED in the buttonindicates that the system is switchedon. When control indicator ) in theinstrument cluster illuminates green,the system is ready to operate.The system is only operable atvehicle speeds above 56 km/h and iflane markings are available.

When the system recognises anunintended lane change, controlindicator ) changes to yellow andflashes. Simultaneously a chimesound is activated.

DeactivationThe system is deactivated bypressing ), the LED in the buttonextinguishes.At speeds below 56 km/h the systemis inoperable.

FaultThe lane departure warning systemmay not operate properly when:● The windscreen is not clean.● There are adverse environmental

conditions e.g. heavy rain, snow,direct sunlight or shadows.


The system can not operate when nolane marking is detected. Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complieswith European standard EN 228 orequivalent.The engine is capable of running withfuel that contains up to 10% ethanol(e.g. named E10).Use fuel with the recommendedoctane rating. A lower octane ratingcan reduce engine power and torqueand slightly increases fuelconsumption.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additivesthat contain metallic compoundssuch as manganese-basedadditives. This may cause enginedamage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 228 or equivalent can lead todeposits or engine damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octanerating than the lowest possiblerating could lead to uncontrolledcombustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirementsregarding octane rating are given inthe engine data overview 3 171. Acountry specific label at the fuel fillerflap can supersede the requirement.


Fuel additiveFuel should contain detergentadditives that help prevent engineand fuel system deposits fromforming. Clean fuel injectors andintake valves will allow the emissioncontrol system to work properly. Incertain countries fuel does notcontain sufficient quantities ofadditive to keep fuel injectors andintake valves clean. In thesecountries a fuel additive is required forsome engines to make up for this lackof detergency. Only use fuel additiveapproved for the vehicle.Adding fuel additive to the filled fueltank is required at least every 15,000km or after one year, whicheveroccurs first. For further information,contact your workshop.

Prohibited fuelsFuels containing oxygenates such asethers and ethanol, as well asreformulated fuel, are available insome cities. If these fuels comply withthe previously describedspecification, then they areacceptable to use. However, E85

(85% ethanol) and other fuelscontaining more than 15% ethanolmust be used only in FlexFuelvehicles.

Caution

Do not use fuel containingmethanol. It can corrode metalparts in the fuel system and alsodamage plastic and rubber parts.This damage would not becovered by the vehicle warranty.

Some fuels, mainly high octaneracing fuels, can contain an octaneenhancing additive calledmethylcyclopentadienyl manganesetricarbonyl (MMT). Do not use fuels orfuel additives with MMT as they canreduce spark plug life and affectemission control systemperformance. The malfunctionindicator light Z may illuminate 3 71.If this occurs, seek the assistance ofa workshop.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch offignition and any external heaterswith combustion chambers.Follow the operating and safetyinstructions of the filling stationwhen refuelling.


9 Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.No smoking. No naked flames orsparks.If you can smell fuel in yourvehicle, have the cause of thisremedied immediately by aworkshop.

A label with symbols at the fuel fillerflap is indicating the allowed fueltypes. In Europe the pump nozzles ofthe filling stations are marked withthese symbols. Refuel only theallowed fuel type.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do notswitch on ignition.

1. Stop the engine.

2. Pull up the fuel filler flap releaselever located on the floor, left frontside of driver's seat.The fuel filler flap is located at rightrear side of the vehicle.

3. Turn the fuel filler capcounterclockwise slowly. If ahissing sound is heard, wait for itto stop before completelyunscrewing the cap.

4. Remove the cap. The cap istethered to the vehicle.

5. Place the nozzle in straightposition to the filler neck andpress with slight force to insert.To refuel, switch on pump nozzle.After the automatic cut-off, thetank can be topped up byoperating the pump nozzle amaximum of two more times.

Caution

Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel conditionDrive over edges slowly and at rightangles if possible. Driving over sharpedges can cause tyre and wheeldamage. Do not trap tyres on the kerbwhen parking.Regularly check the wheels fordamage. Seek the assistance of aworkshop in the event of damage orunusual wear.We recommend not swapping thefront wheels with the rear wheels andvice versa, as this can affect vehiclestability. Always use less worn tyreson the rear axle.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Tyre designationsE.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H195 : tyre width, mm55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %R : belt type: RadialRF : type: RunFlat16 : wheel diameter, inches91 : load index e.g. 91 is equivalent

to 615 kgH : speed code letter

Speed code letter:Q : up to 160 km/hS : up to 180 km/hT : up to 190 km/hH : up to 210 km/hV : up to 240 km/hW : up to 270 km/h

Choose a tyre appropriate for themaximum speed of your vehicle.The maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus125 kg payload. Optional equipmentcould reduce the maximum speed ofthe vehicle.Performance 3 172.

146 Vehicle care

Directional tyresDirectional tyres must be mounted sothat they rotate in the correctdirection. The proper rotationdirection is indicated by a symbol(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressureCheck the pressure of cold tyres atleast every 14 days and before anylong journey.Do not forget the spare wheel.This also applies to vehicles with tyrepressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure 3 174.

The tyre pressure information labelon the driver's door frame indicatesthe original equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.The ECO tyre pressure serves toachieve the smallest amount of fuelconsumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impairsafety, vehicle handling, comfort andfuel economy and will increase tyrewear.Tyre pressures differ depending onvarious options.For the correct tyre pressure value,follow the procedure below:● Identify the engine identifier

code.Engine data 3 171.

● Identify the respective tyre.For the tyres approved for yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.

The driver is responsible for correctadjustment of tyre pressure.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this canresult in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading totread separation and even to tyreblow-out at high speeds.

9 Warning

For specific tyres therecommended tyre pressure asshown in the tyre pressure tablemay exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.Never exceed the maximum tyrepressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition. Afteradjusting tyre pressure switch onignition and select the relevant settingon the page Tyre Load in the DriverInformation Centre 3 75.

Vehicle care 147

Temperature dependencyThe tyre pressure depends on thetemperature of the tyre. Duringdriving, tyre temperature andpressure increase. Tyre pressurevalues provided on the tyreinformation label and tyre pressurechart are valid for cold tyres, whichmeans at 20 °C.The pressure increases by nearly10 kPa for a 10 °C temperatureincrease. This must be consideredwhen warm tyres are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed inthe Driver Information Centre showsthe real tyre pressure. A cooled downtyre will show a decreased value,which does not indicate an air leak.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe tyre pressure monitoring systemchecks the pressure of all four tyresonce a minute when vehicle speedexceeds a certain limit.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring systemwarns only about low tyre pressurecondition and does not replaceregular tyre maintenance by thedriver.

All wheels must be equipped withpressure sensors and the tyres musthave the prescribed pressure.NoteIn countries where the tyre pressuremonitoring system is legallyrequired, the use of wheels withoutpressure sensors will invalidate thevehicle operating permit.

The current tyre pressures can beshown in the Vehicle InformationMenu in the Driver InformationCentre.The menu can be selected bypressing the buttons on the stalk.

Press MENU to select the VehicleInformation MenuX.

Turn the adjuster wheel to select thetyre pressure monitoring system.

148 Vehicle care

System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a message with thecorresponding tyre flashing in theDriver Information Centre.The system considers the tyretemperature for the warnings.Temperature dependency 3 146.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by the controlindicator w 3 73.If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 174.

If w flashes for 60-90 seconds thenilluminates continuously, there is afault in the system. Consult aworkshop.After inflating, some driving may berequired to update the tyre pressurevalues in the Driver InformationCentre. During this time w mayilluminate.If w illuminates at lower temperaturesand extinguishes after some driving,this could be an indicator forapproaching a low tyre pressurecondition. Check tyre pressure.Vehicle messages 3 81.If the tyre pressure must be reducedor increased, switch off ignition.Only mount wheels with pressuresensors, otherwise the tyre pressurewill not be displayed and willuminates continuously.A temporary spare wheel is notequipped with pressure sensors. Thetyre pressure monitoring system isnot operational for these tyres.Control indicator w illuminates. Forthe further three tyres, the systemremains operational.

The use of commercially-availableliquid tyre repair kits can impair thefunction of the system. Factory-approved repair kits can be used.Operating electronic devices or beingclose to facilities using similar wavefrequencies could disrupt the tyrepressure monitoring system.Each time the tyres are replaced, tyrepressure monitoring system sensorsmust be dismounted and serviced.For the screwed sensor; replacevalve core and sealing ring. For theclipped sensor; replace completevalve stem.

Tyre pressure sensor matchingprocessEach tyre pressure sensor has aunique identification code. Theidentification code must be matchedto a new tyre / wheel position afterrotating the tyres or exchanging thecomplete wheel set and if one or moretyre pressure sensors were replaced.

The tyre pressure sensor matchingprocess should also be performedafter replacing a spare tyre with aroad tyre containing the tyre pressuresensor.The malfunction light w and thewarning message or code should gooff at the next ignition cycle. Thesensors are matched to the wheelpositions, using a relearn tool, in thefollowing order: left side front wheel,right side front wheel, right side rearwheel and left side rear wheel. Theturn light at the current active positionis illuminated until sensor is matched.Consult a workshop for service. Thereare 2 minutes to match the first wheelposition, and 5 minutes overall tomatch all four wheel positions. If ittakes longer, the matching processstops and must be restarted.The tyre pressure sensor matchingprocess is:1. Apply the parking brake.2. Turn the ignition on.3. Select neutral.

9 Warning

Operating materials arehazardous and could bepoisonous. Handle with care. Payattention to information given onthe containers.

Engine oilEngine oil is identified by its qualityand its viscosity. Quality is moreimportant than viscosity whenselecting which engine oil to use. Theoil quality ensures e.g. enginecleanliness, wear protection and oilaging control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forpetrol engines. If it is unavailable,engine oils of other listed qualitieshave to be used.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 169.

Topping up engine oil

Caution

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it upand dispose it properly.

Engine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with only ACEAquality is prohibited, since it cancause engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 169.

166 Service and maintenance

Additional engine oil additivesThe use of additional engine oiladditives could cause damage andinvalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity gradesThe SAE viscosity grade givesinformation of the thickness of the oil.Multigrade oil is indicated by twofigures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The firstfigure, followed by a W, indicates thelow temperature viscosity and thesecond figure the high temperatureviscosity.Select the appropriate viscosity gradedepending on the minimum ambienttemperature 3 169.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only silicate-free long life coolant(LLC) antifreeze approved for thevehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -36 °C. In

northern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -50 °C. This concentrationshould be maintained all year round.The use of additional coolantadditives that intend to give additionalcorrosion protection or seal againstminor leaks can cause functionproblems. Liability for consequencesresulting from the use of additionalcoolant additives will be rejected.

Washer fluidUse only washer fluid approved forthe vehicle to prevent damage ofwiper blades, paintwork, plastic andrubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Brake and clutch fluidOver time, brake fluid absorbsmoisture which will reduce brakingeffectiveness. The brake fluid shouldtherefore be replaced at the specifiedinterval.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersElectronic control units are installed inyour vehicle. Control units processdata which is received by vehiclesensors, for example, or which theygenerate themselves or exchangeamongst themselves. Some controlunits are necessary for the safefunctioning of your vehicle, othersassist you while you drive (driverassistance systems), while othersprovide comfort or infotainmentfunctions.The following contains generalinformation about data processing inthe vehicle. You will find additionalinformation as to which specific datais uploaded, stored and passed on tothird parties and for what purpose inyour vehicle under the key word DataProtection closely linked to thereferences for the affected functionalcharacteristics in the relevant owner'smanual or in the general terms ofsale. These are also available online.

Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data foroperation of the vehicle.This data includes, e.g.:● vehicle status information (e.g.

speed, movement delay, lateralacceleration, wheel rotation rate,"seat belts fastened" display)

● ambient conditions (e.g.temperature, rain sensor,distance sensor)

As a rule such data is transient, notstored for longer than an operationalcycle, and only processed on boardthe vehicle itself. Control units ofteninclude data storage (including thevehicle key). This is used to allowinformation to be documentedtemporarily or permanently on vehiclecondition, component stress,maintenance requirements andtechnical events and errors.


Depending on technical equipmentlevel, the data stored is as follows:● system component operating

states (e.g. fill level, tyrepressure, battery status)

● faults and defects in importantsystem components (e.g. lights,brakes)

● system reactions in specialdriving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of thestability control systems)

● information on events damagingthe vehicle

● for electric vehicles the amount ofcharge in the high-voltagebattery, estimated range

In special cases (e.g. if the vehiclehas detected a malfunction), it may benecessary to save data that wouldotherwise just be volatile.When you use services (e.g. repairs,maintenance), the operating datasaved can be read together with thevehicle identification number andused when necessary. Staff workingfor the service network (e.g. garages,manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.

breakdown services) can read thedata from the vehicle. The sameapplies to warranty work and qualityassurance measures.Data is generally read via the OBD(On-Board Diagnostics) portprescribed by law in the vehicle. Theoperating data which is read out,documents the technical condition ofthe vehicle or individual componentsand assists with fault diagnosis,compliance with warranty obligationsand quality improvement. This data,in particular information oncomponent stress, technical events,operator errors and other faults, istransmitted to the manufacturerwhere appropriate, together with thevehicle identification number. Themanufacturer is also subject toproduct liability. The manufacturerpotentially also uses operating datafrom vehicles for product recalls. Thisdata can also be used to checkcustomer warranty and guaranteeclaims.Fault memories in the vehicle can bereset by a service company whencarrying out servicing or repairs or atyour request.

Comfort and infotainmentfunctionsComfort settings and custom settingscan be stored in the vehicle andchanged or reset at any time.Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● seat and steering wheel position

settings● chassis and air conditioning

settings● custom settings such as interior

lightingYou can input your own data in theinfotainment functions for yourvehicle as part of the selectedfeatures.Depending on the equipment level inquestion, these include● multimedia data such as music,

videos or photos for playback inan integrated multimedia system

● address book data for use with anintegrated hands-free system oran integrated navigation system


● input destinations● data on the use of online services

This data for comfort andinfotainment functions can be storedlocally in the vehicle or be kept on adevice that you have connected to thevehicle (e.g. a smartphone, USB stickor MP3 player). Data that you haveinput yourself can be deleted at anytime.This data can only be transmitted outof the vehicle at your request,particularly when using onlineservices in accordance with thesettings selected by you.

Smartphone integration, e.g.Android Auto or Apple CarPlayIf your vehicle is equippedaccordingly, you can connect yoursmartphone or another mobile deviceto the vehicle so that you can controlit via the controls integrated in thevehicle. The smartphone image andsound can be output via themultimedia system in this case. At thesame time, specific information istransmitted to your smartphone.Depending on the type of integration,

this includes data such as positiondata, day / night mode and othergeneral vehicle information. For moreinformation, please see the operatinginstructions for the vehicle /infotainment system.Integration allows selectedsmartphone apps to be used, such asnavigation or music playback. Nofurther integration is possiblebetween smartphone and vehicle, inparticular active access to vehicledata. The nature of further dataprocessing is determined by theprovider of the app used. Whetheryou can define settings, and if sowhich ones, is dependent on the appin question and your smartphone'soperating system.

Online servicesIf your vehicle has a radio networkconnection, this allows data to beexchanged between your vehicle andother systems. The radio networkconnection is made possible bymeans of a transmitter device in yourvehicle or a mobile device providedby you (e.g. a smartphone). Onlinefunctions can be used via this radionetwork connection. These includeonline services and applications /apps provided to you by themanufacturer or other providers.

Proprietary servicesIn the case of the manufacturer'sonline services, the relevant functionsare described by the manufacturer inan appropriate location (e.g. Owner'sManual, the manufacturer's website)and the associated data protectioninformation is provided. Personaldata may be used to provide onlineservices. Data exchange for thispurpose takes place via a protectedconnection, e.g. using themanufacturer's IT systems providedfor the purpose. Collection,


processing and use of personal datafor the purposes of preparation ofservices take place solely on thebasis of legal permission, e.g. in thecase of a legally prescribedemergency communication system ora contractual agreement, or by virtueof consent.You can activate or deactivate theservices and functions (which aresubject to charges to some extent)and, in some cases, the vehicle'sentire radio network connection. Thisdoes not include statutory functionsand services such as an emergencycommunication system.

Third party servicesIf you make use of online servicesfrom other providers (third parties),these services are subject to theliability and data protection and usageconditions of the provider in question.The manufacturer frequently has noinfluence over the content exchangedin this regard.

Therefore, please note the nature,scope and purpose of the collectionand use of personal data within thescope of third party services providedby the service provider in question.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and immobiliser.It is also used in connection withconveniences such as radio remotecontrols for door locking / unlockingand starting. RFID technology in Opelvehicles does not use or recordpersonal information or link with anyother Opel system containingpersonal information.
