● Do not drive with an open loadcompartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load inthe vehicle is securely stowed.Otherwise objects can be thrownaround inside the vehicle andcause personal injury or damageto the load or car.

● The payload is the differencebetween the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identificationplate 3 287) and the EC kerbweight.To calculate the payload, enterthe data for your vehicle in the

weights table at the front of thismanual.The EC kerb weight includesweights for the driver (68 kg),luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fueltank 90% full).Optional equipment andaccessories increase the kerbweight.

● Driving with a roof load increasesthe sensitivity of the vehicle tocross-winds and has adetrimental effect on vehiclehandling due to the vehicle'shigher centre of gravity.Distribute the load evenly andsecure it properly with retainingstraps. Adjust the tyre pressureand vehicle speed according tothe load conditions. Check andretighten the straps frequently.Do not drive faster than120 km/h.The permissible roof load is75 kg for vehicles without roofrailing and 100 kg for vehicleswith roof railing.

Digital audio broadcastingDigital audio broadcasting (DAB)broadcasts radio stations digitally.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

General information● With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single ensemble.

● Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel andtraffic information.

● As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even ifthe signal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

● In the event of poor reception, thevolume is reduced automaticallyto avoid the output ofdisagreeable noises.If the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver,reception is interruptedcompletely. This incident can beavoided by activating DAB-DABLinking or DAB-FM Linking in theDAB menu (see below).

● Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does notoccur with DAB.

● If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings,the reception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerablyimpaired in such cases.

● When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continuallysearches for the FM stations withthe best reception. If TP 3 140 isactivated, traffic announcementsof the FM station with the bestreception are issued. DeactivateTP if DAB reception should notbe interrupted by FM trafficannouncements.

NavigationGeneral informationThis chapter is about the embeddednavigation system.The current traffic situation is takeninto account in the route calculation.For this purpose, the Infotainmentsystem receives trafficannouncements in the currentreception area via RDS-TMC.The navigation system cannot,however, take into account trafficincidents, traffic regulations changedat short notice and hazards orproblems that arise suddenly (e.g.road works).

Caution

The usage of the navigationsystem does not release the driverfrom the responsibility for acorrect, vigilant attitude in roadtraffic. The relevant trafficregulations must always be

followed. If a navigation instructioncontradicts traffic regulations, thetraffic regulations always apply.

Functioning of the navigationsystemThe position and movement of thevehicle are detected by the navigationsystem using sensors. The travelleddistance is determined by thevehicle’s speedometer signal, turningmovements on bends by a sensor.The position is determined by theGPS (Global Positioning System)satellites.By comparing the sensor signals withthe digital maps, it is possible todetermine the position with anaccuracy of approx. 10 metres.The system will also work with poorGPS reception. However, theaccuracy of the determination of theposition will be reduced.After the entry of the destinationaddress or point of interest (nearestpetrol station, hotel, etc.), the route iscalculated from the current location tothe destination selected.


Route guidance is provided by voiceoutput and an arrow, as well as withthe aid of a multi-colour map display.

Important information

9 Danger

Switching off the engine duringdriving may cause loss of powersupport for brake and steeringsystems. Assistance systems andairbag systems are disabled.Lighting and brake lights willextinguish. Therefore power downthe engine and ignition whiledriving only when required in caseof emergency.

Starting the vehicle at lowtemperaturesThe start of the engine withoutadditional heaters is possible down to-25 °С for diesel engines and -30 °Cfor petrol engines. Required is anengine oil with the correct viscosity,the correct fuel, performed servicesand a sufficiently charged battery.With temperatures below -30 °C theautomatic transmission need awarming phase of approx. fiveminutes. The selector lever must bein position P.

Automatic Starter ControlThis function controls the enginestarting procedure. The driver doesnot have 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

(manual transmission).● Brake pedal not operated or

selector lever not in P or N(automatic transmission).

● 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 pedal 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. It starts the engineautomatically as soon as the clutch isdepressed. A vehicle battery sensorensures that an Autostop is onlyperformed if the vehicle battery issufficiently charged for a restart.

ActivationThe stop-start system is available assoon as the engine is started, thevehicle starts-off and the conditionsas stated below in this section arefulfilled.

Deactivation

Deactivate the stop-start systemmanually by pressing eco. Thedeactivation is indicated when theLED in the button extinguishes.

AutostopIf the vehicle is at a low speed or at astandstill, activate an Autostop asfollows:● Depress the clutch pedal.● Move the selector lever to

neutral.● Release the clutch pedal.

The engine will be switched off whilethe ignition stays on.

Indication

An Autostop is indicated by theneedle at the AUTOSTOP position inthe tachometer.After restart, the idle speed isindicated.The stop-start system will be disabledon inclines of 12% or more.During an Autostop, the heating andbrake performance will bemaintained.


Conditions for an AutostopThe stop-start system checks if eachof the following conditions is fulfilled.● The stop-start system is not

manually deactivated.● The bonnet is fully closed.● The driver's door is closed or the

driver's seat belt is fastened.● The vehicle battery is sufficiently

charged and in good condition.● The engine is warmed-up.● The engine coolant temperature

is not too high, e.g. after drivingwith high engine load.

● The ambient temperature isabove -5 °C.

● The climate control systemallows an Autostop.

● The brake vacuum is sufficient.● The self-cleaning function of the

exhaust filter is not active.● The vehicle was driven at least at

walking speed since the lastAutostop.

Otherwise an Autostop will beinhibited.Certain settings of the climate controlsystem may inhibit an Autostop. SeeClimate control chapter for moredetails 3 175.Immediately after motorway driving,an Autostop may be inhibited.New vehicle running-in 3 182.

Vehicle battery discharge protectionTo ensure reliable engine restarts,several battery discharge protectionfeatures are implemented as part ofthe stop-start system.

Power saving measuresDuring an Autostop, several electricalfeatures such as auxiliary electricheater or rear window heating aredisabled or switched into a power-saving mode. The fan speed of theclimate control system is reduced tosave power.

Restart of the engine by the driverDepress the clutch pedal to restart theengine.

When the engine is restarted, controlindicator D in the Driver InformationCentre extinguishes.If the selector lever is shifted out ofneutral before depressing the clutchpedal first, control indicator -illuminates or is shown as a messagein the Driver Information Centre.Control indicator - 3 96.

Restart of the engine by the stop-start systemThe selector lever must be in neutralto enable an automatic restart.If one of the following conditionsoccurs during an Autostop, theengine will be restarted automaticallyby the stop-start system.● The stop-start system is

manually deactivated.● The bonnet is opened.● The driver's seat belt is

unfastened and the driver's dooris opened.

● The engine temperature is toolow.


● The charge level of the vehiclebattery is below a defined level.

● The brake vacuum is notsufficient.

● The vehicle is driven at least atwalking speed.

● The climate control systemrequests an engine start.

the ignition switch. Turn thesteering wheel until thesteering wheel lock is felt toengage.For vehicles with automatictransmission, the key can onlybe removed when the selectorlever is in position P.

● Lock the vehicle.● Activate the anti-theft alarm

system.● The engine cooling fans may run

after the engine has beenswitched off 3 240.


Caution

After running at high enginespeeds or with high engine loads,operate the engine briefly at a lowload or run in neutral forapprox. 30 seconds beforeswitching off, in order to protectthe turbocharger.

NoteIn the event of an accident withairbag deployment, the engine isturned off automatically if the vehiclecomes to a standstill within a certaintime.

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.

Exhaust filterThe exhaust filter is a particle filter fordiesel and gasoline engines.

Automatic cleaning processThe exhaust filter system filters sootparticles out of the exhaust gases.The system includes a self-cleaningfunction that runs automaticallyduring driving without any notification.The filter is cleaned by periodicallyburning off the soot particles at hightemperature. This process takesplace automatically under set drivingconditions and may take up to25 minutes. Typically it needsbetween seven and twelve minutes.Autostop is not available and fuelconsumption may be higher duringthis period. The emission of smellsand smoke during this process isnormal.

System requires cleaningUnder certain conditions, e.g. drivingshort distances, the system cannotclean itself automatically.If cleaning of the filter is required andif previous driving conditions did notenable automatic cleaning, it will beindicated by illumination of % and awarning message in the DriverInformation Centre.


% illuminates along with a warningmessage when exhaust filter is full.Start cleaning process as soon aspossible.% flashes along with a warningmessage when exhaust filter hasreached the maximum filling level.Start cleaning process immediately toavoid damage to the engine.

Activate self-cleaning processTo activate cleaning process,continue driving, keep engine speedabove 2000 rpm. Shift down ifnecessary. Exhaust filter cleaning isthen started.Cleaning process is completed morequickly at high engine speeds andloads.Control indicator % extinguishes assoon as the self-cleaning operation iscomplete. Keep on driving until self-cleaning operation is complete.

Caution

If possible, do not interruptcleaning process. Drive untilcleaning is completed to avoid theneed for service or repair by aworkshop.

Cleaning process not possibleIf cleaning is not possible for anyreason, control indicator Zilluminates and a warning messageappears in the Driver InformationCentre. Engine power may bereduced. Seek the assistance of aworkshop immediately.

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

Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon pages 3 229, 3 292 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.


AdBlueGeneral informationThe selective catalytic reduction(BlueInjection) is a method tosubstantially reduce the nitrogenoxides in the exhaust emission. Thisis achieved by injecting a DieselExhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaustsystem. The ammonia released bythe fluid reacts with nitrous gases(NOx) from the exhaust and turns itinto nitrogen and water.The designation of this fluid isAdBlue®. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, colourless and odourlessfluid which consists of 32% urea and68% water.

9 Warning

Avoid contact of your eyes or skinwith AdBlue.In case of eye or skin contact,rinse off with water.

Caution

Avoid contact of the paintwork withAdBlue.In case of contact, rinse off withwater.

AdBlue freezes at a temperature ofapprox. -11 °C. As the vehicle isequipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,the emissions reduction at lowtemperatures is ensured. The AdBluepre-heater works automatically.The typical AdBlue consumption isapprox. 1.2 litres per 1000 km forvehicles with engine D16DTH orD16DTJ and approx. two litres per1000 km for vehicles with engineD20DTH. The consumption can alsobe higher depending on drivingbehaviour (e.g. high load or towing).

AdBlue tankThe AdBlue tank level can be found inthe display menu.

Level warningsDepending on the calculated range ofAdBlue, different messages aredisplayed in the Driver InformationCentre. The messages and therestrictions are a legal requirement.The first possible warning is AdBlueRange: 2400 km.This warning will show up once brieflywith the calculated range. Driving ispossible without any restrictions.The next warning level is entered witha range below 1750 km. Themessage with the current range willalways be displayed when ignition isswitched on and needs to beconfirmed 3 101. Refill AdBlue beforeentering the next warning level.At an AdBlue range below 900 km,the following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Low Refill Now● Engine Restart Prevented in

900 km.Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.


NoteIn case of high AdBlue consumption,the Driver Information Centre maydisplay this warning without theprevious warning stages.

The last warning level is enteredwhen the AdBlue tank is empty.Restart of the engine is not possible.The following warning messages arealternately displayed and cannot bedismissed:● AdBlue Empty Refill Now● Engine Will Not Restart.

Additionally, control indicator Yflashes continuously.With active prevention of an enginestart, the following message will bedisplayed:Refill AdBlue To Start Vehicle.The tank must be refilled completelywith AdBlue, otherwise restarting ofthe engine is not possible.

High emission warningsIf the exhaust emission rises above acertain value, warnings similar to therange warnings will be displayed inthe Driver Information Centre.Requests to have the exhaust systemchecked and finally theannouncement of the prevention ofan engine restart are displayed.These restrictions are a legalrequirement.Consult a workshop for assistance.

Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complieswith European standardsDIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.Do not use additives.Do not dilute AdBlue.Otherwise the selective catalyticreduction system could bedamaged.

NoteWhenever a filling pump with anozzle for passenger cars is notavailable at a filling station, use onlyAdBlue bottles or canisters with asealed refill adapter for refilling, toprevent splashback and overspill,and in order to ensure that the fumesfrom the tank are captured and donot emerge. AdBlue in bottles orcanisters is available in many fillingstations and can be purchased e.g.at Opel dealers and other retailoutlets.Since AdBlue has a limiteddurability, check the date of expirybefore refilling.NoteWhen unscrewing the protective capfrom the filler neck, ammonia fumesmay emerge. Do not inhale as thefumes have a pungent smell. Thefumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The AdBlue tank should be filledcompletely. This must be done if thewarning message regardingprevention of an engine restart isalready displayed.


The vehicle must be parked on a levelsurface.The filler neck for AdBlue is locatedbehind the fuel filler flap, which islocated at right rear side of thevehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked.1. Remove key from ignition switch.2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia

fumes entering the interior of thevehicle.

3. Release the fuel filler flap bypushing the flap 3 231.

4. Unscrew protective cap from thefiller neck.

5. Open AdBlue canister.6. Mount one end of the hose on the

canister and screw the other endon the filler neck.

7. Lift the canister until it is empty, oruntil the flow from the canister hasstopped. This can take up to fiveminutes.

8. Place the canister on the groundto empty the hose, wait 15seconds.

9. Unscrew the hose from the fillerneck.

10. Mount the protective cap and turnclockwise until it engages.

NoteDispose of AdBlue canisteraccording to environmentalrequirements. To reuse the hoseflush it with clear water after usage.

Gear shift indication 3 98.Stop-start system 3 185.

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 your 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 96.

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.

Adaptive cruise controlAdaptive cruise control is anenhancement to traditional cruisecontrol with the additional feature ofmaintaining a certain distance behindthe vehicle ahead.

Adaptive cruise control automaticallydecelerates the vehicle whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle.It then adjusts the vehicle speed tofollow the vehicle ahead at theselected following distance. Thevehicle speed increases or decreasesto follow the vehicle in front, but willnot exceed the set speed. It mayapply limited braking with activatedbrake lights.The adaptive cruise control can storeand maintain speeds over approx.50 km/h and brakes automatically tofollow a slower vehicle driving aheaddown to a minimum speed of30 km/h.

Adaptive cruise control uses a radarsensor to detect the vehicles ahead.If no vehicle is detected in the drivingpath, the adaptive cruise control willbehave like a traditional cruisecontrol.

For safety reasons, the systemcannot be activated before the brakepedal has been depressed once afterswitching on ignition. Activation in firstgear is not possible.Adaptive cruise control is mainlyadvised to be used on long straightroads, e.g. highways or country roadswith steady traffic. Do not use thesystem if it is not advisable tomaintain a constant speed.Control indicator A 3 101, m 3 100.

9 Warning

The complete driver attention isalways required while driving withadaptive cruise control. The driverstays fully in control of the vehiclebecause the brake pedal, theaccelerator pedal and the cancelswitch have priority over anyadaptive cruise control operation.


Switching on the system

Press C to switch on adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator milluminates white. Additionally Cappears in the Driver InformationCentre.

Activation of the functionality bysetting the speedAdaptive cruise control can beactivated between 50 km/h and180 km/h.

9 Warning

The driver accepts fullresponsibility for the appropriatefollowing distance based on traffic,weather and visibility conditions.Following distance must beadjusted or the system switchedoff when required by the prevailingconditions.

Detecting the vehicle ahead

The green illuminated vehicle aheadcontrol indicator A is displayed whenthe system detects a vehicle in thedriving path.Forward collision alert 3 212.If this symbol does not appear, orappears briefly, adaptive cruisecontrol will not respond to vehiclesahead.

Deactivation of the functionalityAdaptive cruise control is deactivatedby the driver when:● y is pressed.● Brake pedal is applied.● Clutch pedal is depressed for

more than four seconds.● Selector lever of automatic

transmission is moved to N.The system is also automaticallydeactivated when:● Vehicle speed accelerates above

190 km/h or slows down below45 km/h.

● The Traction Control system isoperating.

● Electronic Stability Control isoperating.

● There is no traffic and nothingdetected on the road sides forseveral minutes. In this casethere are no radar echoes andthe sensor may report that it isblocked.

● The active emergency brakingsystem is applying the brakes.

● Driving on steep inclines.● Radar sensor is blocked by an ice

or water film.● A fault is detected in the radar,

engine or brake system.When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the control indicator mchanges from green to white and apop-up message is displayed in theDriver Information Centre.

The stored speed is maintained andindicated in brackets in the DriverInformation Centre. The system isdeactivated but not switched off.

9 Warning

When adaptive cruise control isdeactivated, the driver must takeover full brake and engine control.


Switching off the systemPress C to switch off adaptive cruisecontrol. The control indicator m andC in the Driver Information Centreextinguish. The stored speed isdeleted.Switching off the ignition alsoswitches off adaptive cruise controland deletes the stored speed.

Driver's attention● Use adaptive cruise control

carefully on bends or mountainroads, as it can lose the vehicleahead and require time to detectit again.

● Do not use the system onslippery roads as it can createrapid changes in tyre traction(wheel spinning), so that youcould lose control of the vehicle.

● Do not use adaptive cruisecontrol during rain, snow orheavy dirt, as the radar sensorcan be covered by a water film,dust, ice or snow. This reduces orcompletely suppresses the

visibility. In case of sensorblockage, clean the sensorcover.

System limits● The system's automatic brake

force does not permit hardbraking and the braking levelmay not be sufficient to avoid acollision.

● After a sudden lane change, thesystem needs a certain time todetect the next precedingvehicle. So if a new vehicle isdetected, the system mayaccelerate instead of braking.

● Adaptive cruise control doesignore the oncoming traffic.

● Adaptive cruise control does notbrake for pedestrians, animals,very slow speed driving orstopped vehicles.

● Don't use adaptive cruise controlwhen towing a trailer.

Bends

The adaptive cruise control calculatesa predicted path based on thecentrifugal force. This predicted pathconsiders the current bendcharacteristic, but cannot consider afuture bend change. The system maylose the current vehicle ahead orconsider a vehicle which is not in theactual lane. This can happen whenentering or exiting a bend or if thebend gets stronger or weaker. If it nolonger detects any vehicle ahead,then control indicator A willextinguish.If the centrifugal force is too high in abend, the system slows down thevehicle slightly. This braking level isnot designed to avoid spinning off thebend. The driver is responsible forreducing the selected speed before


entering a bend and in general toadapt the speed to the road type andto existing speed limits.

MotorwaysOn motorways, adapt the set speedto the situation and the weather.Always consider that adaptive cruisecontrol has a limited visibility range, alimited braking level and a certainreaction time to verify if a vehicle is inthe driving path or not. Adaptivecruise control may not be able tobrake the vehicle in time to avoid acollision with a much slower vehicle orafter a lane change. This isparticularly true if driving fast or if thevisibility is reduced due to weatherconditions.While entering or exiting a motorway,adaptive cruise control may lose thevehicle ahead and accelerate up to

the set speed. For this reason,decrease the set speed before theexit or before the entry.

Vehicle path changes

If another vehicle enters your drivingpath, adaptive cruise control will firstconsider the vehicle when it iscompletely in your path. Be ready totake action and depress the brakepedal, if you need to brake morequickly.

Hill and trailer considerations

System performance on hills andwhen towing a trailer depends onvehicle speed, vehicle load, trafficconditions and the road gradient. Itmay not detect a vehicle in your pathwhile driving on hills. On steep hills,you may have to use the acceleratorpedal to maintain your vehicle speed.When going downhill, especiallywhen towing a trailer, you may haveto brake to maintain or reduce yourspeed.Note that applying the brakedeactivates the system. It is notrecommended to use adaptive cruisecontrol on steep hills especially whentowing a trailer.


Radar unit

The radar unit is mounted behind theradiator grille below the brandemblem.

9 Warning

The radar unit was alignedcarefully during manufacture.Therefore, after a frontal accident,do not use the system. The frontbumper may appear to be intact,however the sensor behind can beout of position and reactincorrectly. After an accident,

consult a workshop to verify andcorrect the adaptive cruise controlsensor position.

General information for bothvariants of forward collision alert

9 Warning

Forward collision alert is just awarning system and does notapply the brakes. Whenapproaching a vehicle ahead toorapidly, it may not provide youenough time to avoid a collision.The driver accepts fullresponsibility for the appropriatefollowing distance based on traffic,weather and visibility conditions.

The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver must always beready to take action and apply thebrakes.

System limitationsThe system is designed to warn onlyfor vehicles, but may react also onother metallic objects.In the following cases, forwardcollision alert may not detect a vehicleahead or sensor performance islimited:● on winding roads● when weather limits visibility,

such as fog, rain, or snow● when the sensor is blocked by

snow, ice, slush, mud, dirt,windscreen damage or affectedby foreign items, e.g. stickers

Following distanceindicationThe following distance indicationdisplays the distance to a precedingmoving vehicle. The system uses,


depending on the vehicle equipment,either the radar behind the radiatorgrille or the front camera in thewindscreen to detect the distance ofa vehicle directly ahead in your path.It is active at speeds above 40 km/h.When a preceding vehicle is detectedahead, the distance is indicated inseconds, displayed on a page in theDriver Information Centre 3 101.Press MENU on the turn signal leverto select Vehicle InformationMenu ? and turn the adjusterwheel to choose following distanceindication page.

Active Emergency BrakingActive emergency braking can help toreduce the damage and injury fromcrashes with vehicles and obstaclesdirectly ahead, when a collision canno longer be avoided either bymanual braking or by steering. Before

the active emergency brakingapplies, the driver is warned by theforward collision alert 3 212.The feature uses various inputs (e.g.radar sensor, brake pressure, vehiclespeed) to calculate the probability ofa frontal collision.Active emergency braking operatesautomatically above walking speed,provided that Auto collisionpreparation setting is not deactivatedin the vehicle personalisation menu3 108.The system includes:● brake preparation system● emergency automatic braking● forward looking brake assist

9 Warning

This system is not intended toreplace the driver responsibility ofdriving the vehicle and lookingahead. Its function is limited tosupplemental use only. The drivershall continue to apply the brakepedal as the driving situationdictates.


Brake preparation systemWhen approaching a vehicle aheadso quickly that a collision is likely, thebrake preparation system slightlypressurises the brakes. This reducesthe response time, when a manual orautomatic braking is requested.The brake system is prepared so thatbraking can occur more rapidly.

Emergency automatic brakingAfter the brake preparation and justbefore the imminent collision, thisfunction automatically applies limitedbraking to reduce the impact speed ofthe collision.

Forward looking brake assistIn addition to brake preparationsystem and emergency automaticbraking, the forward looking brakeassist function makes the brake assistmore sensitive. In this way,depressing the brake pedal slightlyresults immediately in a strongbraking. This function helps the driverbrake quicker and stronger before theimminent collision.

9 Warning

Active emergency braking is notdesigned to apply strongautonomous braking or to avoidautomatically a collision. It isdesigned to reduce the vehiclespeed before collision. It may notreact on stopped vehicles,pedestrians or animals. After asudden lane change, the systemneeds a certain time to detect thenext preceding vehicle.The complete attention of thedriver is always required whiledriving. The driver shall always beready to take action and apply thebrakes and steer to avoidcollisions. The system is designedto work with all occupants wearingtheir seat belts.

System limitationsThe active emergency braking haslimited or no function during rain,snow or heavy dirt, as the radarsensor can be covered by a water

film, dust, ice or snow. In case ofsensor blockage, clean the sensorcover.In some seldom cases the activeemergency braking system mayprovide a short automatic braking insituations that seem to beunnecessary, for instance due totraffic signs in a curve or due tovehicles in another lane. This isacceptable operation, the vehicledoes not need service. Firmly applythe accelerator pedal to override theautomatic braking.

9 Warning

The driver bears full responsibilityfor the parking manoeuvre.Always check the surroundingarea when driving backwards orforwards while using parkingassist system.

The front-rear parking assistmeasures the distance between thevehicle and obstacles in front of andbehind the vehicle. It informs andwarns the driver by giving acousticsignals and display indication.It uses two different acoustic warningsignals for the front and rearmonitoring areas, each with adifferent tone frequency. The signalfor front obstacles sounds via thefront speakers, for rear obstacles itsounds via the rear speakers.

The system has four ultrasonicparking sensors each in the rear andfront bumper.

ActivationWhen reverse gear is engaged, thefront and rear parking assist is readyto operate.The system is also activatedautomatically at a speed up to11 km/h.

FuelFuel 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 3 292. 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 96.If this occurs, seek the assistance ofa workshop.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590 and which has a sulphurconcentration of max. 10 ppm.Fuels with a biodiesel (compliant withEN 14214) content of max. 7% byvolume may be used (e.g. namedB7).If travelling in countries outside theEuropean Union, occasional use ofEuro-Diesel fuel with a sulphurconcentration below 50 ppm ispossible.

Caution

Frequent usage of diesel fuelcontaining more than 15 ppmsulphur will cause severe enginedamage.

Caution

Use of fuel that does not comply toEN 590 or similar can lead toengine powerloss, increased wearor engine damage and may affectyour warranty.

Do not use marine diesel oils, heatingoils, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.

Low temperature operationAt temperatures below 0 °C, somediesel products with biodiesel blendsmay clog, freeze or gel, which mayaffect the fuel supply system. Startingand engine operation may not workproperly. Make sure to fill wintergrade diesel fuel at ambienttemperatures below 0 °C.Arctic grade diesel fuel can be usedin extreme cold temperatures below-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warmor hot climates is not recommended


and may cause engine stalling, poorstarting or damage on the fuelinjection system.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch offignition and any external heaterswith combustion chambers.Switch off any mobile phones.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.

Fuel filler flap is located at right rearside of the vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked. Release thefuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

Petrol and Diesel refuellingTo open, turn the cap slowlyanticlockwise.


The fuel filler cap can be retained inthe bracket on the fuel filler flap.To refuel, fully insert the pump nozzleand switch it on.After the automatic cut-off, the tankcan be topped up by operating thepump nozzle a maximum of two moretimes.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuelimmediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler capclockwise until it clicks.Close the flap and engage.

Vehicles with misfuel inhibitor

9 Warning

Do not try to open the flap of thefuel filler neck manually onvehicles with misfuel inhibitor.Disregarding this could lead totrapping of the fingers.

Vehicles with a selective catalyticreduction system are equipped with amisfuel inhibitor.

The misfuel inhibitor ensures that theflap of the fuel filler neck can only beopened by using a nozzle for dieselfuel or a funnel for emergencyrefilling.Turn the fuel filler cap slowlyanticlockwise.The cap can be retained in thebracket on the fuel filler flap.Place the nozzle in a straight line tothe filler neck and press with slightforce to insert.In case of an emergency, refill with acanister. A funnel must be used toopen the cap of the filler neck.


The funnel is located on the right-hand side storage compartment in theload compartment.Place the funnel in a straight line tothe filler neck and press with slightforce to insert.Use the funnel to fill the diesel fuel intothe filler neck.After topping-up, put the funnel intothe plastic bag and stow it in thestorage compartment.Selective catalytic reduction system3 190.

Fuel filler capOnly use genuine fuel filler caps.Diesel-engined vehicles have specialfuel filler caps.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Vehicles with natural gas enginesrequire special towing equipment.Entrust retrofitting of towingequipment to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.The bulb outage detection function fortrailer brake light cannot detect apartial bulb outage. E.g. in case of4x 5 Watt bulbs, the function onlydetects lamp outage when only asingle 5 Watt lamp remains or noneremain.Fitting of towing equipment couldcover the opening of the towing eye.If this is the case use the coupling ballbar for towing. Always keep thecoupling ball bar in the vehicle.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsBefore attaching a trailer, lubricatethe coupling ball. However, do not doso if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reducesnaking movements.For trailers with low driving stabilityand caravan trailers with a permittedgross vehicle weight of more than1300 kg the use of a stabiliser isstrongly recommended when drivingabove 80 km/h.If the trailer starts snaking, drive moreslowly, do not attempt to correct thesteering and brake sharply ifnecessary.When driving downhill, drive in thesame gear as if driving uphill anddrive at a similar speed.Adjust tyre pressure to the valuespecified for full load 3 297.


Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle and engine-dependentmaximum values which must not beexceeded. The actual trailer load isthe difference between the actualgross weight of the trailer and theactual coupling socket load with thetrailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to 12%.The permissible trailer load appliesup to the specified incline and at sealevel. Since engine power decreasesas altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducingclimbing ability, the permissible grosstrain weight also decreases by 10%for every 1000 metres of altitude. Thegross train weight does not have to bereduced when driving on roads withslight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.motorways).

The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 287.

Vertical coupling loadThe vertical coupling load is the loadexerted by the trailer on the couplingball. It can be varied by changing theweight distribution when loading thetrailer.The maximum permissible verticalcoupling load (75 kg) is specified onthe towing equipment identificationplate and in the vehicle documents.NoteEngines D16DTH, D16DTJ,D20DTH and D20DTJ: Dependingon the equipment the maximumpermissible vertical coupling loadcan be 75 kg or 60 kg.

Always aim for the maximum load,especially in the case of heavytrailers. The vertical coupling loadshould never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded, thepermissible rear axle load (seeidentification plate or vehicledocuments) may be exceeded by60 kg, the gross vehicle weight ratingmay be exceeded by 60 kg. If thepermissible rear axle load isexceeded, a maximum speed of100 km/h applies.

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.

Winter tyresWinter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.All tyre sizes are permitted as wintertyres 3 297.In accordance with country-specificregulations, affix the speed sticker inthe driver's field of view.

Tyre designationsE.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H215 : tyre width, mm60 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %R : belt type: RadialRF : type: RunFlat16 : wheel diameter, inches95 : load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

to 690 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 3 293.

262 Vehicle care

Directional tyresFit directional tyres such that they rollin the direction of travel. The rollingdirection 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 sparewheel. This also applies to vehicleswith tyre pressure monitoring system.

Tyre pressure 3 297.

The tyre pressure information labelon the front left or right door frameindicates the original equipment tyresand the correspondent tyrepressures.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.Always inflate the spare tyre to thepressure specified for full load.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 tyrepressure value, follow the procedurebelow:1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 292.2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 297.

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 on a vehicle with tyrepressure monitoring system, switch

Vehicle care 263

off ignition. After adjusting tyrepressure, switch on ignition andselect the appropriate setting on thepage Tyre load in the DriverInformation Centre, 3 101.

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 Driver InformationCentre.

Select the menu by the buttons on theturn signal lever.

264 Vehicle care

Select Tyre pressure page underVehicle Information Menu ?3 101.System status and pressure warningsare displayed by a messageindicating the corresponding tyre inthe Driver Information Centre.The system considers the tyretemperature for the warnings.

A detected low tyre pressurecondition is indicated by controlindicator w 3 99.If w illuminates, stop as soon aspossible and inflate the tyres asrecommended 3 297.If w flashes for 60-90 seconds andthen illuminates continuously, there isa fault 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 3 106.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 wheels.Control indicator w illuminates. Forthe further three wheels 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. Forclipped sensor: replace completevalve stem.

Vehicle loading statusAdjust tyre pressure to load conditionaccording to the tyre information labelor tyre pressure chart 3 297, andselect the appropriate setting in theTyre load menu in the DriverInformation Centre 3 101. Thissetting is the reference for the tyrepressure warnings.The Tyre load menu only appears ifthe vehicle is at a standstill and theparking brake is applied. On vehicleswith automatic transmission theselector lever has to be in P.

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.Excessive tractive force candamage the vehicle.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.Insert cap at the bottom and engage.

Appearance careExterior careLocksThe locks are lubricated at the factoryusing a high quality lock cylindergrease. Use de-icing agent only whenabsolutely necessary, as this has adegreasing effect and impairs lockfunction. After using a de-icing agent,have the locks regreased by aworkshop.

WashingThe paintwork of your vehicle isexposed to environmental influences.Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.When using automatic vehiclewashes, select a programme thatincludes waxing.Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,pollen and the like should be cleanedoff immediately, as they containaggressive constituents which cancause paint damage.

If using a vehicle wash, comply withthe vehicle wash manufacturer'sinstructions. The windscreen wiperand rear window wiper must beswitched off. Remove antenna andexternal accessories such as roofracks etc.If you wash your vehicle by hand,make sure that the insides of thewheel housings are also thoroughlyrinsed out.Clean edges and folds on openeddoors and the bonnet as well as theareas they cover.Clean bright metal mouldings with acleaning solution approved foraluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent witha pH value of four to nine.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.

Vehicle care 281

Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.Do not use hard objects to removespots of tar. Use tar removal spray onpainted surfaces.

Exterior lightsHeadlight and other light covers aremade of plastic. Do not use anyabrasive or caustic agents, do not usean ice scraper, and do not clean themdry.

Polishing and waxingWax the vehicle regularly (at thelatest when water no longer beads).Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.Polishing is necessary only if the painthas become dull or if solid depositshave become attached to it.Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.

Plastic body parts must not be treatedwith wax or polishing agents.

Windows and wiper bladesSwitch off wipers before handling intheir areas.Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamoisleather together with window cleanerand insect remover.When cleaning the rear window frominside, always wipe in parallel to theheating element to prevent damage.For mechanical removal of ice, use asharp-edged ice scraper. Press thescraper firmly against the glass sothat no dirt can get under it andscratch the glass.Remove dirt residues from smearingwiper blades by using a soft cloth andwindow cleaner. Also make sure toremove any residues such as wax,insect residues and similar from thewindow.Ice residues, pollution and continuouswiping on dry windows will damage oreven destroy the wiper blades.

Glass panelNever clean with solvents or abrasiveagents, fuels, aggressive media(e.g. paint cleaner, acetone-containing solutions etc.), acidic orhighly alkaline media or abrasivepads.

Wheels and tyresDo not use high-pressure jetcleaners.Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheelcleaner.Rims are painted and can be treatedwith the same agents as the body.

Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.Have more extensive damage or rustareas repaired by a workshop.

UnderbodySome areas of the vehicle underbodyhave a PVC undercoating while othercritical areas have a durableprotective wax coating.

282 Vehicle care

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 oilageing control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.

Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection forgasoline and diesel engines. If it isunavailable, engine oils of other listedqualities have to be used.Recommendations for gasolineengines are also valid for Ethanol(E85) fuelled engines.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 289.

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 oils for all petrolengines with only ACEA quality isprohibited, since it can cause enginedamage under certain operatingconditions.

286 Service and maintenance

Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 289.

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 3 289.All of the recommended viscositygrades are suitable for high ambienttemperatures.

Coolant and antifreezeUse only organic acid type-long lifecoolant (LLC) antifreeze approved forthe vehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C. Innorthern countries with very lowtemperatures the factory filled coolantprovides frost protection down toapprox. -37 °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.

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

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

AdBlueOnly use AdBlue to reduce thenitrogen oxides in the exhaustemission 3 190.

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 equipmentlevels, 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 where 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 datawhich 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.
