Lane departure warning

The lane departure warning system

supports the driver to avoid

unintended leaving of the lane. The

front camera observes road edges,

as well as the lane markings between

which the vehicle is driving. If the

vehicle approaches a road edge or a

lane marking, the system warns the

driver.
Unintended lane departure is not

assumed by the system when the turn

lights are operated and during few

seconds after turn lights have been

switched off.

No warning will be issued with a

dynamic driving, i.e. pressure on the

brake or accelerator pedal.
When the system recognises an

unintended lane departure, the

control indicator

flashes yellow.

Warning

This system is a driving aid that

cannot, in any circumstances,

edges, as well as the lane markings

between which the vehicle is driving.

If the vehicle approaches a road edge

or a lane marking, the steering wheel

is gently turned so that the vehicle

turns back into the lane. The driver

will notice a turning movement of the

steering wheel. Turn steering wheel

in same direction, if the system does

not steer sufficiently. Turn steering

wheel gently into opposite direction, if

lane change is intended.

When the system steers to correct the

trajectory of the vehicle,

flashes

yellow in the Driver Information

Centre. Lane keep assist does not

continuously steer the vehicle.
Unintended lane departure is not

assumed by the system when the turn

lights are operated and during few

seconds after turn lights have been

switched off.
If the system detects that the steering

wheel is not held permanently, it

interrupts a correction after a short

time.
When hands-off driving is detected

during a correction a warning

message appears in the Driver

Information Centre, accompanied by

a warning chime. Every further

hands-off detection prolongs the

warning chime duration.
A lane departure warning in the Driver

not taken a break after two hours of

driving at a speed above 40 mph. The

alert is repeated hourly until the

vehicle is stopped, no matter how

vehicle speed evolves.
The counting of driving time alert is

reset when the ignition has been

switched off for a few minutes or the

driver's seat belt has been

unfastened and the driver's door has

been opened.

Driver drowsiness detection

The system monitors the driver's level

of vigilance at speeds above 40 mph.

A camera at the top of the windscreen

detects variations in trajectory

compared to the lane markings.
The system may perform a learning

procedure for up to 30 minutes after

the start of the monitoring. During this

period, the driver's individual driving

behaviour is analysed and no alert is

given.
If the trajectory of the vehicle

suggests a certain level of

drowsiness or inattention by the

driver, the system triggers the first

240

Driving and operating

level of alert. The driver is notified by

a message and an audible signal is

given.
After three first level alerts, the

system triggers a new alert with a

message, accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.
In certain driving conditions such as

poor road surface or strong winds

etc., the system may give alerts

independent of the driver's level of

vigilance.
The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised in the following situations:

● the ignition has been switched off

for a few minutes

● the speed remains below

40 mph for a few minutes

● the driver's seat belt has been

Charging

General information

Warning

Persons with a pacemaker should

consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

Charging the vehicle's high voltage

battery depends upon several factors:

● high voltage battery of the vehicle
● internal onboard charger (OBC)
● charging cable
● external charging device

The charging cable connects the

vehicle with an external charging

device providing electric power. This

may be a domestic electrical outlet, a

Green'Up socket, a wall box or a

public charging station.
The high voltage battery is charged

with direct current (DC) only. When

charging the vehicle with alternating

current (AC), AC has to be converted

into DC. This is done by the vehicle's

onboard charger. The onboard

charger is available with 7.4 kW

(single-phase) and 11 kW (3-phase).
If the vehicle is charged at a public DC

charging station, no DC conversion is

required. The high voltage battery

can be directly charged with DC

provided by the DC charging station.
The speed of charging the vehicle's

high voltage battery depends upon

the weakest element of the charging

chain. To achieve the maximum

charging speed, charging cable and

charging device have to be attuned to

each other.

Notice

Make sure that the charging cable

used fits to the vehicle's onboard

charger.

Electric power consumption and

range

The electric power consumption

(combined) is within a range of 17.6

to 15.9 kWh/100 km.
The range is up to 217.5 miles.
For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The determination of electric power

consumption is regulated by directive

R (EC) No. 715/2007 and No.

2017/1151 (in the latest applicable

version).

Charging types

There are different types of charging

the vehicle's high voltage battery.

242

Driving and operating

Charging at wallboxes

A wallbox is a charging unit for private

households. It provides a charging

cable which has to be connected to

the vehicle's charging port. Some

wallboxes do not provide a charging

cable. In this case, a separate

charging cable is required which has

to be connected to both the wallbox

and the charging port of the vehicle.
Charging time may take approx. 5

hours with a charging power of 11 kW

or 7.5 hours with a charging power of

7.4 kW.

Charging at charging stations

Charging stations may provide

alternating current (AC) or direct

current (DC). Charging time may vary

depending on the charging station,

DC charging stations provide the

fastest charging. To charge the

vehicle's battery, the charging cable

of the charging station has to be

connected to the charging port of the

vehicle.

● AC charging station: Charging

time may take approx. 5 hours

with a charging power of 11 kW

or 7.5 hours with a charging

power of 7.4 kW.

● DC charging station: Up to

approx. 80% of battery capacity

may be charged in approx. 30

minutes at a charging power of

100 kW.

Charging at domestic electrical

outlets

The vehicle's high voltage battery can

be charged at a domestic electrical

outlet. Connect the charging cable to

the vehicle's charging port and to the

domestic electrical outlet.
Charging time may take approx. 30

hours with a charging power of 1.8

kW.

Charging cable

Depending on the charging type,

different charging cables are used.

2. Status indicators
3. Wall plug

Basic domestic cables (mode 2) are

used for charging at domestic

electrical outlets. A basic domestic

cable (mode 2) consists of a vehicle

plug, a control box and a plug for the

domestic electrical outlet. The control

box has an intergrated charge

controller and several LEDs

indicating the charging status.

Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are similar to basic domestic cables

(mode 2). However, the charging

performance of enhanced domestic

cables (mode 2 charging) is better

than the charging performance of

basic domestic cables (mode 2).

Enhanced domestic cables (mode 2)

are used at Green'Up sockets which

have to be installed by a certified

electrician at the customer's site.

Charging cable status indicators

After plugging in the charging cable,

it will perform a quick self test and all

status indicators illuminate for a

moment. For the functions of the

status indicators, refer to the manual

of the charging cable manufacturer.

Important information about

portable BEV charging

● Charging a BEV can stress a

building's electrical system more

than a typical household

appliance.

● Before you plug in to any

electrical outlet, have a qualified

electrician inspect and verify the

electrical system (electrical

outlet, wiring, junctions and

protection devices) for heavy-

duty service at a 10 A continuous

load.

● Electrical outlets may wear out

with normal usage or be

damaged over time, making them

unsuitable for BEV charging.

● Check the electrical outlet / plug

while charging and discontinue

use if the electrical outlet / plug is

hot, then have the electrical

outlet serviced by a qualified

electrician.

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Only use unleaded fuel that complies

with European standard EN 228 or

E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent.
The engine is capable of running with

fuel that contains up to 10% ethanol

(e.g. named E10).
Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. A lower octane rating

can reduce engine power and torque

and slightly increases fuel

consumption.

250

Driving and operating

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Caution

Use of fuel with a lower octane

rating than the lowest possible

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

The engine specific requirements

regarding octane rating are given in

the engine data overview

301. A

country-specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

In certain countries, the use of a

particular fuel, e.g. a specific octane

rating, may be required to ensure

proper engine operation.

Fuel for diesel engines

The Diesel engines are compatible

with bio-fuels that conform to current

and future European standards and

and can be obtained from filling

stations:

Diesel fuel that meets standard

EN590 mixed with a biofuel that

meets standard EN14214 (possibly

containing up to 7% Fatty Acid Methyl

Ester).

Diesel fuel that meets standard

EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that

meets standard EN14214 (possibly

containing up to 10% Fatty Acid

Methyl Ester).

Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets

standard EN15940 mixed with a

biofuel that meets standard

EN14214 (possibly containing up to

7% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).

The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting

standard EN16709 is possible in your

Diesel engines. However, this use,

even occasional, requires strict

Driving and operating

251

application of the special servicing

conditions referred to as "Arduous

conditions".
For more information, contact a

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Caution

The use of any other type of (bio)

fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure

or diluted, domestic fuel etc.) is

strictly prohibited (risk of damage

to the engine and fuel system).

Notice

The only Diesel additives authorised

for use are those that meet the

B715000 standard.

Low temperature operation

At temperatures below 0 °C, some

diesel products with biodiesel blends

may clog, freeze or gel, which may

affect the fuel supply system. Starting

and engine operation may not work

properly. Make sure to fill winter

grade diesel fuel at ambient

temperatures below 0 °C.

Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used

at extremely low temperatures below

-20 °C. Using this fuel grade in warm

or hot climates is not recommended

and may cause engine stalling, poor

starting or damage on the fuel

injection system.

Refuelling

Danger

Before refuelling, switch off

ignition and any external heaters

with combustion chambers.
Follow the operating and safety

instructions of the filling station

when refuelling.

Danger

Fuel is flammable and explosive.

No smoking. No naked flames or

sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your

vehicle, have the cause of this

remedied immediately by a

workshop.

A label with symbols at the fuel filler

flap is indicating the allowed fuel

types. In Europe the pump nozzles of

the filling stations are marked with

these symbols. Refuel only the

allowed fuel type.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do not

switch on ignition.

Fuel filler flap is located at left rear

side of vehicle.

The fuel filler flap can only be opened

if the vehicle is unlocked. Release the

fuel filler flap by pushing the flap.

252

Driving and operating

Petrol and diesel refuelling

To open, turn the cap slowly

anticlockwise.

The fuel filler cap can be attached to

the hook on the fuel filler flap.
Place the nozzle in straight position to

the filler neck and press with slight

force to insert.
To refuel, switch on pump nozzle.
After the automatic cut-off, the tank

can be topped up by operating the

pump nozzle a maximum of two more

times.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuel

immediately.

To close, turn the fuel filler cap

clockwise until it clicks.
Close the flap and allow it to engage.

Fuel filler cap

Only use genuine fuel filler caps.
Diesel-engined vehicles have special

fuel filler caps.

Fuel consumption - CO

Emissions

The fuel consumption (combined) is

within a range of 44 to 74 mpg.
The CO

emission is within a range of

144 to 101 g/km.

General information

For the values specific to your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The determination of fuel

consumption is regulated by directive

R (EC) No. 715/2007 and No.

2017/1151 (in the latest applicable

version).
The specification of CO

emission is

also a constituent of the directive.
The figures given must not be taken

as a guarantee for the actual fuel

consumption of a particular vehicle.

Furthermore, fuel consumption is

dependent on personal driving style

as well as road and traffic conditions.
All values are based on the EU base

model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption

takes into account the vehicle's kerb

weight, ascertained in accordance

with the regulations. Optional

equipment may result in slightly

Driving and operating

253

higher fuel consumption and

emission levels and a lower

maximum speed.

Trailer hitch

General information

Caution

When not in use, remove the

coupling ball bar.

Only use towing equipment that has

been approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing

equipment to a workshop. It may be

necessary to make changes that

affect the cooling system, heat

shields or other equipment.
The bulb outage detection function for

trailer brake light cannot detect a

partial bulb outage. E.g. in case of

four bulbs with a power of 5 W each,

the function only detects lamp outage

when only a single 5 W lamp remains

or none remain.
Trailers equipped with LED lights are

not suitable for the wiring harness of

this trailer hitch.

Fitting of towing equipment could

cover the opening of the towing eye.

If this is the case, use the coupling ball

bar for towing. Always keep the

coupling ball bar in the vehicle to have

it on hand if needed.

Driving characteristics and

towing tips

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate

the coupling ball. However, do not do

so if a stabiliser, which acts on the

coupling ball, is being used to reduce

snaking movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a

speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed

of 60 mph is only appropriate if an

oscillation damper is used and the

permissible gross trailer weight does

not exceed the vehicle's curb weight.
For trailers with low driving stability

and caravan trailers, the use of an

oscillation damper is strongly

recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more

slowly, do not attempt to correct the

steering and brake sharply if

necessary.

254

Driving and operating

When driving downhill, drive in the

same gear as if driving uphill and

drive at a similar speed.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load

304.

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

The permissible trailer loads are

vehicle and engine-dependent

maximum values which must not be

exceeded. The actual trailer load is

the difference between the actual

gross weight of the trailer and the

actual coupling socket load with the

trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are

specified in the vehicle documents. In

general, they are valid for gradients

up to 12%.
The permissible trailer load applies

up to the specified incline and at sea

level. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

becoming thinner, therefore reducing

climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10%

for every 1000 m of altitude. The

gross train weight does not have to be

reduced when driving on roads with

slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.

motorways).
The permissible gross train weight

must not be exceeded. This weight is

specified on the identification plate

298.

Vertical coupling load

The vertical coupling load is the load

exerted by the trailer on the coupling

ball. It can be varied by changing the

weight distribution when loading the

trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical

coupling load (55 kg) is specified on

the towing equipment identification

plate and in the vehicle documents.
Always aim for the maximum vertical

coupling load, especially in the case

of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling

load should never fall below 25 kg.

Rear axle load

When the trailer is coupled and the

towing vehicle fully loaded, the

permissible rear axle load (see

identification plate or vehicle

documents) may be exceeded by

60 kg, the gross vehicle weight rating

must not be exceeded. If the

permissible rear axle load is

exceeded, a maximum speed of

60 mph applies.
