30 o

The driver and front passengerairbags will deploy during significantfrontal collisions or collisions that areup to 30 degrees from the left or theright. The airbags will inflate within afew thousandths of a second anddeflate on contact with theoccupants, thus cushioning forwardbody movement. During minor frontalcollisions, overturns, rear collisionsand side collisions, the driver andfront passenger airbags will notdeploy.

14

Occupant protection

Side airbags

E68905

Side airbags are fitted inside theseatback of the front seats. A labelindicates that side airbags are fittedto your vehicle.

The side airbags will deploy duringsignificant lateral collisions. Only theairbag on the side affected by thecollision will deploy. The airbags willinflate within a few thousandths of asecond and deflate on contact withthe occupants, thus providingprotection for the head and rib areas.During minor lateral collisions,overturns, front collisions and rearcollisions, the side airbags will notdeploy.

Seat belts

WARNINGSWear a seat belt and keepsufficient distance between

yourself and the steering wheel. Onlywhen you use the seat belt properly,can it hold you in a position toachieve its optimum effect. SeeSitting in the correct position(page 74).

Climate control

• Switch the programmable fuelfired heater on for approximately10 minutes at least once a month,all year round. This prevents thewater pump and heater motorfrom seizing.

• To avoid corrosion, make sure thecoolant in your vehicle contains atleast 10 % antifreeze all yearround.

• Make sure the coolant level isbetween the MAX and MINmarks on the reservoir to preventair locks. See Engine coolantcheck (page 137).

• Programmable blower operationbegins when the coolant reachesa certain temperature. In thismode, ambient temperature hasno effect.

• In continuous heater operation,the unit senses the ambienttemperature. If this is above 5°C(41°F) the programmable fuel firedheater heater will not activate.

The programmable fuel fired heateroperates independently of the vehicleheater by heating the engine’scoolant circuit. It is fed from thevehicle fuel tank. It may also be usedwhile the vehicle is in motion to helpthe vehicle heater warm up theinterior more quickly.

It is possible that when theprogrammable fuel fired heater isactivated, exhaust fumes may comefrom under the sides of the vehicle.This is normal.

DIESEL PARTICULATEFILTER (DPF)

The DPF forms part of the emissionsreduction systems fitted to yourvehicle. It filters harmful dieselparticulates (soot) from the exhaustgas.

Regeneration

WARNING

Do not park or idle your vehicleover dry leaves or dry grass or

other combustible material. Theregeneration process requires veryhigh exhaust gas temperatures andthe exhaust will radiate aconsiderable amount of heat duringand after regeneration, and after youhave switched the engine off. This isa potential fire hazard.

Unlike a normal filter which requiresperiodic replacement, the DPF hasbeen designed to regenerate, orclean itself to maintain operatingefficiency. The regeneration processtakes place automatically. However,some driving conditions mean thatyou may need to support theregeneration process.

85

Starting the engine

If you drive only short distances oryour journeys contain frequentstopping and starting, you mustinitiate the regeneration process ifthe soot overload warning lamp inthe instrument cluster illuminates.See Warning lamps andindicators (page 52). When safeto do so:

• Drive your vehicle on a freeflowing journey for up to 30minutes, avoiding prolongedidling.

• Do not switch off the ignition.• Use a lower gear than normal to

maintain a higher engine speedduring this journey.

This process may have to berepeated. The warning lamp will goout when the regeneration processis successful.

SWITCHING OFF THEENGINE

Vehicles with aturbocharger

CAUTION

Do not switch the engine offwhen it is running at high speed.

If you do, the turbocharger willcontinue running after the engine oilpressure has dropped to zero. Thiswill lead to premature turbochargerbearing wear.

Release the accelerator pedal. Waituntil the engine has reached idlespeed and then switch it off.

The hill launch assist (HLA) systemmakes it easier to pull away when thevehicle is on a slope without the needto use the parking brake.

When the HLA is active, the vehiclewill remain stationary on the slope fortwo to three seconds after yourelease the brake pedal. During thistime, you have time to move yourfoot from the brake to theaccelerator pedal and pull away. Thebrakes are released automaticallyonce the engine has developedsufficient drive to prevent the vehiclefrom rolling down the slope. This isan advantage when pulling away ona slope, for example from a car parkramp, traffic lights or when reversinguphill into a parking space.

WARNING

The HLA does not replace theparking brake. When you leave

the vehicle, always apply the parkingbrake and select first or reverse gear.

USING HLA

The HLA is activated automaticallywhen the vehicle is stopped on aslope greater than 4%. HLA operateswith the vehicle facing downhill ifreverse gear is selected.

Activating the HLA

WARNINGSYou must remain in the vehicleonce you have activated the

HLA.

The HLA is active only if thegreen HLA lamp illuminates in

the instrument cluster. During alltimes you are responsible forcontrolling the vehicle, supervisingthe HLA and intervening, if required.

You can activate the HLA only if thefollowing conditions have been met:

• The engine is running.• All doors (including cargo doors)

are fully closed.• The parking brake is fully

disengaged.• No failure mode is present.

To activate the HLA:

1. Press the brake and clutch pedalsto bring the vehicle to a completestandstill. Keep the brake andclutch pedals depressed.

2. If the sensors detect that thevehicle is on a slope the HLA willbe activated automatically and thegreen HLA lamp will illuminate inthe instrument cluster.

3. When you remove your foot fromthe brake pedal, the vehicle willremain on the slope without rollingaway for approximately two tothree seconds. This hold time willautomatically be extended if youare in the process of driving off.

TOWING A TRAILER

WARNINGSDo not exceed the maximumvehicle and trailer weight stated

on the vehicle identification plate. SeeVehicle identification (page 171).

Do not exceed a speed of 90km/h (55 mph) when towing

with a laden weight greater than 2000kg.

Note: Not all vehicles are suitable orapproved to have tow bars fitted.Check with your dealer first.

Place loads as low and central to theaxle(s) of the trailer as possible. If youare towing with an unladen vehicle,the load in the trailer should beplaced toward the nose, within themaximum nose load, as this gives thebest stability.

Note: The maximum trailer noseweight can be found on themanufacturers data plate on the towbar.

The stability of the vehicle to trailercombination is very much dependanton the quality of the trailer.

The maximum vehicle and trailerweights represent technically bindingvalues for gradients up to 12 % andat an altitude of 1 000 metres abovesea level. In high altitude regions,thinner atmosphere can reduceengine performance so the followingrestrictions will apply:

In high altitude regions, the stipulatedmaximum permitted gross trainweight must be reduced by 10% forevery 1 000 metres.

TYRE REPAIR KIT

Your vehicle may not have a sparetyre. In this case it will have anemergency tyre repair kit that can beused to repair one flat tyre.

The tyre repair kit is located in theglove box.

General information

WARNINGSDepending on the type andextent of tyre damage, some

tyres can only be partially sealed ornot sealed at all. Loss of tyrepressure can affect vehicle handling,leading to loss of vehicle control.

Do not use the tyre repair kit ifthe tyre has already been

damaged as a result of being drivenunder inflated.

Do not try to seal damage otherthan that located within the

visible tread of the tyre.

Do not try to seal damage to thetyre’s sidewall.

The tyre repair kit seals most tyrepunctures [with a diameter of up tosix millimetres (1/4 inch)] totemporarily restore mobility.

Observe the following rules whenusing the kit:

160

Wheels and tyres

• Drive with caution and avoidmaking sudden steering ordriving manoeuvres,especially if the vehicle is heavilyloaded or you are towing a trailer.

• The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair,enabling you to continue yourjourney to the next vehicle or tyredealer, or to drive a maximumdistance of 200 kilometres(125 miles).

• Do not exceed a maximumspeed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

• Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.

• Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between –30°C(-22°F) and +70°C (+158°F).

Using the tyre repair kit

WARNINGSCompressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.

Never leave the tyre repair kitunattended while in use.

CAUTION

Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10

minutes.

Note: Use the tyre repair kit only forthe vehicle with which it was supplied.

• Park your vehicle at the roadsideso that you do not obstruct theflow of traffic and so that you areable to use the kit without beingin danger.

• Apply the parking brake, even ifyou have parked on a level road,to make sure that the vehicle willnot move.

• Do not attempt to remove foreignobjects like nails or screwspenetrating the tyre.

• Leave the engine running whilethe kit is in use, but not if thevehicle is in an enclosed or poorlyventilated area (for example,inside a building). In thesecircumstances, switch thecompressor on with the engineturned off.

• Replace the sealant bottle with anew one before the expiry date(see top of bottle) is reached.

• Inform all other users of thevehicle that the tyre has beentemporarily sealed with the tyrerepair kit and make them awareof the special driving conditions tobe observed.

Inflating the tyre

WARNINGSCheck the sidewall of the tyreprior to inflation. If there are any

cracks, bumps or similar damage, donot attempt to inflate the tyre.

Do not stand directly beside thetyre while the compressor is

pumping.

161

Wheels and tyres

WARNINGSWatch the sidewall of the tyre.If any cracks, bumps or similar

damage appear, turn off thecompressor and let the air out bymeans of the pressure relief valve B.Do not continue driving with this tyre.

The sealant contains naturalrubber latex. Avoid contact with

skin and clothing. If this happens,rinse the affected areas immediatelywith plenty of water and contact yourdoctor.

WARNINGSIf the tyre inflation pressure doesnot reach 1.8 bar (26 psi) within

seven minutes, the tyre may havesuffered excessive damage, makinga temporary repair impossible. In thiscase, do not continue driving with thistyre.

CAUTION

Screwing the bottle onto thebottle holder will pierce the seal

of the bottle. Do not unscrew thebottle from the holder as the sealantwill escape.

164

Wheels and tyres

17. Immediately drive approximatelythree kilometres (two miles) sothat the sealant can seal thedamaged area.

Note: When pumping in the sealantthrough the tyre valve, the pressuremay rise up to 6 bar (87 psi) but willdrop again after about 30 seconds.

WARNING

If you experience heavyvibrations, unsteady steering

behaviour or noises while driving,reduce your speed and drive withcaution to a place where it is safe foryou to stop the vehicle. Recheck thetyre and its pressure. If the tyrepressure is less than 1.3 bar (19 psi)or if there are any cracks, bumps orsimilar damage visible, do notcontinue driving with this tyre.

Checking the tyre pressure

1. Stop the vehicle after drivingapproximately three kilometres(two miles). Check, and wherenecessary, adjust the pressure ofthe damaged tyre.
