Refilling AdBlue

Caution

Only use AdBlue that complies

with European standards

DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic

reduction system could be

damaged.

Notice

Whenever a filling pump with a

nozzle for passenger cars is not

available at a filling station, use only

AdBlue bottles or canisters with a

sealed refill adapter for refilling, to

prevent splashback and overspill,

and in order to ensure that the fumes

from the AdBlue tank are captured

and do not emerge.
Since AdBlue has a limited

durability, check the date of expiry

before refilling.
Notice

Refill the AdBlue tank to a level of at

least 4 l to ensure that the new

AdBlue level is being detected.
In case AdBlue refill is not

successfully detected:

1. Continuously drive the vehicle

for ten minutes making sure that

vehicle speed is always higher

than 12 mph.

2. If AdBlue refill is detected

successfully, AdBlue supply-

driven warnings or limitations will

disappear.

If AdBlue refill is still not detected,

seek the assistance of a workshop.
If AdBlue must be refilled at

temperatures below -11 °C, the

refilling of AdBlue may not be

detected by the system. In this

event, park the vehicle in a space

with a higher ambient temperature

until AdBlue is liquified.
Notice

When unscrewing the protective cap

from the filler neck, ammonia fumes

may emerge. Do not inhale as the

fumes have a pungent smell. The

fumes are not harmful by inhalation.

The AdBlue tank should be filled

completely. This must be done if the

warning message regarding

prevention of an engine restart is

already displayed.
The vehicle must be parked on a level

surface.

1. Remove key from ignition switch.

Driving and operating

2. Open the fuel filler flap.

clockwise and remove it.

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

canister and screw the other end

on the filler neck.

6. Lift the canister until it is empty, or

until the flow from the canister has

stopped. This can take up to five

minutes.

7. Place the canister on the ground

to empty the hose, wait 15

seconds.

8. Unscrew the hose from the filler

neck.

9. Mount the protective cap and turn

it clockwise until it engages.

Notice

Dispose of AdBlue canister

according to environmental

requirements. Hose can be reused

after flushing with clear water before

Stop-start system

91.

Brakes

The brake system comprises two

independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can

still be braked using the other brake

circuit. However, braking effect is

achieved only when the brake pedal

is depressed firmly. Considerably

more force is needed for this. The

braking distance is extended. Seek

the assistance of a workshop before

continuing the journey.
When the engine is not running, the

support of the brake servo unit

disappears once the brake pedal has

been depressed once or twice.

Braking effect is not reduced, but

braking requires significantly greater

force. It is especially important to bear

this in mind when being towed.

Antilock brake system

Antilock brake system (ABS)

prevents the wheels from locking.

102

Driving and operating

ABS starts to regulate brake pressure

as soon as a wheel shows a tendency

to lock. The vehicle remains

steerable, even during hard braking.
ABS control is made apparent

through a pulse in the brake pedal

and the noise of the regulation

process.
For optimum braking, keep the brake

pedal fully depressed throughout the

braking process, despite the fact that

the pedal is pulsating. Do not reduce

the pressure on the pedal.

Control indicator

56.

Fault

Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, the

wheels may be liable to lock due

to braking that is heavier than

normal. The advantages of ABS

are no longer available. During

hard braking, the vehicle can no

longer be steered and may

swerve.

Have the cause of the fault remedied

by a workshop.

Parking brake

Warning

Before leaving the vehicle, make

sure the parking brake is applied.

Control indicator

illuminates

constantly when parking brake is

applied.

Warning

Always apply parking brake firmly

without operating the release

button, and apply as firmly as

possible on a downhill or uphill

slope.
To release the parking brake, pull

the lever up slightly, press the

release button and fully lower the

lever.
To reduce the operating forces of

the parking brake, depress the

foot brake at the same time.

Driving and operating

103

Brake assist

If brake pedal is depressed quickly

and forcefully, maximum brake force

is automatically applied.
Operation of brake assist might

become apparent by a pulse in the

brake pedal and a greater resistance

when depressing the brake pedal.
Maintain steady pressure on the

brake pedal as long as full braking is

required. Maximum brake force is

automatically reduced when brake

pedal is released.

Hill start assist

The system helps prevent unintended

movement when driving away on

inclines.
When releasing the brake pedal after

stopping on an incline, brakes remain

on for further two seconds.
The brakes release automatically

when:

● the clutch pedal is released.
● the parking brake is applied.

● the engine is switched off.
● the engine stalls.

System limits

● The vehicle must be stationary,

the engine running and the brake

pedal depressed.

● The incline of the road must be

steeper than 5%.

● The selector lever must be set to

neutral or another than reverse

when standing uphill.

● The selector lever must be set to

reverse when standing downhill.

Fault

In the event of a fault,

illuminates

and a warning message is displayed

in the Driver Information Centre

accompanied by a warning chime.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.

Regenerative braking

Warning

In the case of extreme

temperatures or if the high voltage

battery is almost fully charged, the

brake force of the engine braking

may be temporarily reduced. If the

braking force is not sufficient, the

driver has to be prepared to use

the brake pedal.

Warning

Depending on the engine braking

force the brake lights are

illuminated.

Regenerative braking generates

electrical energy resulting from

engine braking to charge the high

voltage battery.

Driving and operating

Ride control systems

Electronic Stability Control

and Traction Control system

Warning

Do not let this special safety

feature tempt you into taking risks

when driving.
Adapt speed to the road

conditions.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

improves driving stability when

necessary, regardless of the type of

road surface or tyre grip.
As soon as the vehicle start to swerve

(understeer / oversteer), engine

output is reduced and the wheels are

braked individually.
Electronic Stability Control consists of

several subsystems:

● Antilock brake system (ABS)

101

● Brake assist

103

● Traction Control system

● Intelligent grip system
● Dynamic stability control
● Load inertia control

Traction Control system

The Traction Control system prevents

the driven wheels from spinning.
The Traction Control system

improves driving stability when

necessary, regardless of the type of

road surface or tyre grip, by

preventing the driven wheels from

spinning.
As soon as the driven wheels starts to

spin, engine output is reduced and

the wheel spinning the most is braked

individually. This considerably

improves the driving stability of the

vehicle on slippery road surfaces.
Electronic Stability Control and the

Traction Control system are

operational after each engine start as

soon as the control indicator

extinguishes.
When Electronic Stability Control or

the Traction Control system operates,

flashes.

When Electronic Stability Control or

the Traction Control system is not

operational,

illuminates

accompanied by a message in the

Driver Information Centre.
After reconnecting the vehicle

battery, the system needs a

recalibration by driving a short

distance.

Warning

Do not let this special safety

feature tempt you into taking risks

when driving.

by pressing the ASR OFF button

again.
The LED in the button ASR OFF

extinguishes.
Traction Control system is also

reactivated the next time the ignition

is switched on.

Reactive the system as soon as the

level of grip permits.

Intelligent grip system

The system operates when one drive

wheel has less grip than the other on

inhomogeneous driving surfaces

(e.g. snow, ice, mud) by braking this

wheel and bringing the driving force

to the other one. Traction Control

system is then inactive.
For a better traction activate

intelligent grip system when driving

on snow with tyre chains.
The system works up to a speed of

31 mph.
Intelligent grip system is deactivated

after each engine start.

Activation / deactivation

To activate the system, press

The LED in the button

illuminated.
To deactivate the system, press

again. The LED in the button

extinguishes.

Dynamic stability control

Dynamic stability control monitors

each wheel and automatically acts on

the brake of one or more wheels and

on the engine to return the vehicle to

the required path, within the limits of

the laws of physics, when it detects a

106

Driving and operating

difference between the path followed

by the vehicle and that required by the

driver.
Dynamic stability control is

operational after each engine start as

soon as the control indicator

extinguishes.
When dynamic stability control

operates, the control indicator

flashes.

Load inertia control

The actual total weight of a

commercial vehicle can vary

considerably depending on its load.

The centre of gravity of the vehicle

can therefore move in the longitudinal

direction and even in height.
Each of these variations has

repercussions on braking, traction,

cornering behaviour and overturning.
The load inertia control estimates the

actual total weight of the vehicle by

analysing its behaviour, during

acceleration and braking phases.
This system then adapts the

intervention of the dynamic stability

control and Traction Control system

according to the weight distribution of

the vehicle. In critical situations, the

vehicle therefore remains more safely

on its trajectory.

Fault

If there is a fault in the Electronic

Stability Control or in the respective

subsystems, the control indicator

illuminates and a message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre accompanied by a warning

chime. The system is not operational.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.

Descent control system

The descent control system allows

the vehicle to travel at a low speed

without depressed brake pedal. The

vehicle will automatically decelerate

to a low speed and remain at that

speed when the system is activated.

Some noise or vibration from the

brake system may be apparent when

the system is active.
Do not use the system with the

selector lever set to neutral.

Engage an appropriate gear for the

corresponding speed, in order to

prevent engine stalling.

Caution

Use only when descending steep

grades while driving off-road. Do

not use when driving on normal

road surfaces. Unnecessary

usage of the dynamic stability

function, such as while driving on

normal roads, may damage the

brake system and the ESC

function.

Caution

The function may be unavailable if

the vehicle brakes overheat. Wait

a few minutes.

Forward collision alert

The forward collision alert may help to

avoid or reduce the harm caused by

front-end crashes.

Driving and operating

113

The forward collision alert uses the

front camera in the windscreen to

detect a preceding vehicle directly

ahead, in the vehicle's path.
If a vehicle directly ahead is

approached too quickly, a warning

chime and alert in the Driver

Information Centre is provided.

Warning

Forward collision alert is just a

warning system and does not

apply the brakes. When

approaching a vehicle ahead too

rapidly, there may not be enough

time to avoid a collision.
The driver accepts full

responsibility for the appropriate

following distance based on traffic,

weather and visibility conditions.
The complete attention of the

driver is always required while

driving. The driver must always be

ready to take action and apply the

brakes.

Activation

Forward collision alert detects

vehicles and operates automatically

at all speeds above 3 mph and

53 mph. The system detects

stationary vehicles if the speed does

not exceed 50 mph.

Alerting the driver

Depending on the degree of collision

risk detected by the system and the

chosen alert sensitivity by the driver,

several alert levels may be triggered

and displayed in the Driver

Information Centre.

The driver is warned by following

alerts:

● Symbol

illuminates yellow and

a warning message is displayed

in the Driver Information Centre

when the distance to the vehicle

ahead gets to small.

● Symbol

illuminates red, a

warning message is displayed in

the Driver Information Centre and

a warning chime sounds, when a

collision is imminent and

immediate driver's action is

required.

● A haptic alert in the form of micro-

braking can be given, in order to

confirm the risk of collision. This

is the last possible alert.

Caution

The colour lighting of this control

indicator does not correspond to

local traffic laws on following

distance. The driver bears full

responsibility for maintaining safe

following distance according to

114

Driving and operating

applicable traffic rules, weather

and road conditions etc. at all

times.

Selecting the alert sensitivity

The alert sensitivity has to be set to

close, normal or distant in the vehicle

personalisation menu

65.

The chosen setting will remain until it

is changed. The alert timing will vary

based on vehicle speed. The faster

the vehicle speed, the farther away

the alert will occur. Consider traffic

and weather conditions when

selecting the alert timing.

Deactivation

The system can only be deactivated

by deactivating the active emergency

braking in the vehicle personalisation

65.

System limitations

Forward collision alert is designed to

warn on vehicles only, but may react

also to other objects.

In the following cases, forward

collision alert may not detect a vehicle

ahead or sensor performance is

limited:

● driving on winding or hilly roads
● driving during nighttime
● weather limits visibility, such as

fog, rain, or snow

● the sensor in the windscreen is

blocked by snow, ice, slush, mud,

dirt etc.

● the windscreen is damaged or

affected by foreign objects, e.g.

stickers

Active emergency braking

Active emergency braking can help to

reduce the damage and injury from

crashes with vehicles and obstacles

directly ahead, when a collision can

no longer be avoided either by

manual braking or by steering.
Active emergency braking consists of

several subsystems:

● Forward collision alert

112

● Emergency automatic braking
● Smart brake assist

Before the active emergency braking

applies, the driver is warned by the

forward collision alert.
The system uses various inputs, such

as a front camera located at the top of

the windscreen, but also brake

pressure or vehicle speed, to

calculate the probability of a frontal

collision.

Warning

This system is not intended to

replace the driver responsibility for

driving the vehicle and looking

ahead. Its function is limited to

Driving and operating

115

supplemental use only to reduce

the vehicle speed before a

collision.
The system may not react to

animals. After a sudden lane

change, the system needs a

certain time to detect the next

preceding vehicle.
The driver must always be ready

to take action and apply the brakes

and steer to avoid collisions.

Active emergency braking can be

deactivated in the vehicle

personalisation

65. If deactivated,

illuminates and a message is

displayed the Driver Information

Centre.
When ignition is switched on next

time, system is activated by default.

Functionality

Active emergency braking operates in

forward gear above 3 mph up to

53 mph when a moving vehicle is

detected. The system detects

stationary vehicles only if the speed

does not exceed 50 mph.

A precondition is that active

emergency braking is not deactivated

in the vehicle personalisation menu.

Smart brake assist

If the driver brakes, but not sufficiently

to avoid a collision, this system will

supplement the braking. This

assistance will only be provided if the

driver presses the brake pedal.
Smart brake assist will automatically

disengage when the brake pedal is

released.

Emergency automatic braking

Just before the imminent collision,

this function automatically applies

limited braking to reduce the impact

speed of the collision or prohibit a

crash.
If active emergency braking is

applied,

flashes in the Driver

Information Centre.
Depending on the situation, the

vehicle may automatically brake

moderately or hard.

Emergency automatic braking may

slow the vehicle to a complete stop

trying to avoid a potential crash. If the

vehicle comes to a complete stop,

automatic braking is maintained for

up to two seconds.
If the vehicle comes to a complete

stop, the engine may stall.
Operation of the function may be felt

by a slight vibration in the brake

pedal.

Warning

Emergency automatic braking is

an emergency crash preparation

feature and is not designed to

avoid crashes. Do not rely on the

system to brake the vehicle.

Emergency automatic braking will

not brake outside of its operating

speed range and only responds to

detected vehicles and

pedestrians.

116

Driving and operating

Operation conditions and system

limitations

In some cases, the active emergency

braking system may provide an

automatic braking in situations that

seem to be unnecessary, for instance

in parking garages, due to traffic signs

in a curve or due to vehicles in

another lane. This is a normal

operation, the vehicle does not need

service. Firmly apply the accelerator

pedal to override the automatic

braking if the situation and the

surroundings permit.
The system is only operational when

the Electronic Stability Control is not

faulty, Traction Control system is

activated and all passenger seat belts

are fastened.

objects or clothing as well as

118

Driving and operating

external noise sources may cause

the system to fail to detect

obstacles.
Special attention must be paid to

low obstacles which can damage

the lower part of the bumper.

Caution

In the case of a severe failure of

the vehicle with the need to stop

the vehicle, the system is

deactivated.
In the case of a gearbox failure,

the parking assist system is not

active, when reverse gear is

engaged.
In the case of a loudspeaker

failure, the audible signals may not

be given.
Performance of the system can be

reduced when sensors are

covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
If a sensor is covered, a message

is displayed indicating that the

sensors have to be cleaned.

Performance of the parking assist

system may be limited or the

functionality may not be available

at all if the image shown on the Info

Display is frozen or if the screen is

black.
Performance of the parking assist

system can be reduced due to

heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there

are taller vehicles in the vicinity

(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,

vans). Object identification and

correct distance indication in the

upper part of these vehicles

cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection

cross-section, e.g. objects of

narrow size or soft materials, may

not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not

detect objects outside the

detection range, e.g. below the

bumper or underneath the vehicle.

During a reverse parking

manoeuvre, the system does not

consider a mounted coupling ball

bar. The driver has to consider this

additional length.

Notice

It is possible that the sensor detects

a non-existing object caused by

echo disturbance from external

acoustic noise or mechanical

misalignments (sporadic false

warnings may occur).
Low curbs and surface irregularities,

e.g. on construction zones, are not

detected by the system. The driver

accepts responsibility.

Side blind spot alert

The side blind spot alert system

detects and reports objects on either

side of the vehicle, within a specified

blind spot zone. The system displays

a visual alert in each exterior mirror,

when detecting objects that may not

be visible in the interior and exterior

mirrors. Additionally, a warning chime

Driving and operating

119

may sound whenever the lane is

changed and an object is detected in

the blind spot zone.
Side blind spot alert uses two radar

sensors which are located in the rear

bumper on each side of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is started, both

LEDs on the exterior mirrors will

briefly come on to indicate that the

system is operating.

Warning

Side blind spot alert does not

replace driver vision.

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

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.
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.

Charging types

Driving and operating

Charging types

There are different types of charging

the vehicle's high voltage battery.

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 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.

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.
However, this type of charging is not

recommended.

Charging cable

Depending on the charging type,

different charging cables are used.

Warning

Improper use of portable charging

cables may cause a fire, electrical

shock, or burns, and may result in

damage to property, serious

injury, or death.

● Do not use extension cables,

multi-outlet power strips,

splitters, grounding adaptors,

surge protectors, or similar

devices.

● Do not use an electrical socket

that is worn or damaged, or one

that will not hold the plug firmly

in place.

Driving and operating

129

● Do not immerse the charging

cable into any liquid.

● Do not use an electrical socket

that is not properly grounded.

● Do not use an electrical socket

that is on a circuit with other

electrical loads.

Warning

Read all the safety warnings and

instructions before using this

product. Failure to follow the

warnings and the instructions may

result in electric shock, fire, and /

or serious injury.
Never leave children unattended

near the vehicle while the vehicle

is charging and never allow

children to play with the charging

cable.

If the plug provided does not fit the

electrical outlet, do not modify the

plug. Arrange for a qualified

electrician to inspect the electrical

outlet.
Do not put fingers into the electric

vehicle connector.

Danger

There is a risk of electric shock

that may cause personal injury or

death.
Do not use the charging cable if

any part of the charging cable is

damaged.
Do not open or remove the

charging cable cover.
Service by qualified personnel

only. Connect the charging cable

to a properly grounded outlet with

cables that are not damaged.

Basic domestic cable (mode 2) /

enhanced domestic cable (mode

1. Vehicle plug
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.
