Autowipers

WARNINGS

In icy conditions, make sure that thewindscreen has been fully defrostedbefore selecting autowipers.

Switch off the autowipers featurebefore entering a car wash.

Replace the wiper blades as soonas they begin to leave bands ofwater and smears or when they do

not completely remove water from thewindscreen. If the blades are notreplaced, the rain sensor will continue to

detect water on the windscreen. This willresult in the wipers continuing to operatealthough the majority of the windscreenis dry.

Note: The autowipers feature is intendedfor use during wet weather conditionsonly and is very sensitive to anythingwhich touches the windscreen near tothe rain sensor. Objects such as dirt, mistor flies hitting the windscreen in this

location may cause the wipers to wipeeven though the windscreen is mostly dry.

Note: The autowipers feature should notbe selected when it is snowing, foggy orwhen the roads have been salted. Inthese weather conditions, select analternative position if necessary.

When autowipers is selected, the wiperswill cycle once regardless of whether thewindscreen is wet or dry. Thereafter, or

when the ignition is switched on withautowipers selected, the wipers will notcycle until water is detected on thewindscreen. Alternatively, move the leverto another position and then selectautowipers, or operate the washer.

Outside air

Keep the air intakes forward of thewindscreen free from obstruction (snow,leaves etc.) to allow the climate controlsystem to function effectively.

Recirculated air

CAUTION

Prolonged use of recirculated air maycause the windows to mist up. If thewindows mist up, follow the settings

for defrosting and demisting thewindscreen.

The air currently in the passengercompartment will be recirculated. Outsideair will not enter the vehicle.

Heating

Heating performance depends on thetemperature of the engine coolant.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning operates onlywhen the temperature is above 4C(39F).

Note: If you use the air conditioning, thefuel consumption of your vehicle will behigher.

Air is directed through the evaporatorwhere it is cooled. Humidity is extracted

from the air to help keep the windows freeof mist. The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle andit is therefore normal if you see a smallpool of water under your vehicle.

General information oncontrolling the interior climate

Fully close all the windows.

Warming the interior

Direct the air towards your feet. In cold orhumid weather conditions, direct some

of the air towards the windscreen and thedoor windows.

GENERAL INFORMATION

General points on starting

If the battery has been disconnected thevehicle may exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics for approx. 8 kilometres(5 miles) after reconnecting the battery.

This is because the engine managementsystem must realign itself with the engine.Any unusual driving characteristics duringthis period may be disregarded.

Starting the engine by towingor pushing

WARNING

To prevent damage you must notpush or tow start your vehicle. Usebooster cables and a booster

battery. See Using booster cables(page 112).

IGNITION SWITCH

WARNING

Never return the key to the 0position when the vehicle is inmotion.

Ignition off. When the key is removed fromthe ignition switch, the steering column

lock will be activated as soon as thesteering wheel is turned.

Position I

Steering unlocked. Ignition and all mainelectrical circuits are disabled. The ignitionkey should not be left in this position fortoo long to avoid discharging the battery.

Positon II

Ignition switched on, all electrical circuitsoperational. Warning and indicator lamps

illuminate. This is the key position whendriving, and must also be selected whenbeing towed.

Postion III

Starter motor activated. Release the keyas soon as the engine starts.

Note: You can only operate the starterfor a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

CAUTION

When the temperature is below-20C (-4F), switch the ignition on

for at least one second beforestarting the engine. This will make surethat the maximum fuel pressure isestablished for starting the engine.

All vehicles

If the engine does not start, repeat theCold or hot engineprocedure.

Engine idle speed after

startingThe speed at which the engine idlesimmediately after starting will varydepending on the engine temperature.

If the engine is cold then the idle speedwill automatically be increased in order toheat the catalytic converter as quickly aspossible. This ensures that vehicle

emissions are kept to an absoluteminimum.

The idle speed will slowly decrease to thenormal level as the catalytic converterwarms up.

STARTING A DIESEL

ENGINE

Cold or hot engine

All vehicles

Note: When the temperature is below-15C (5F), you may need to crank theengine for up to 25 seconds. If youconsistently operate the vehicle in suchtemperatures, we recommend that youhave an engine block heater fitted.

Note: Continue cranking the engine untilit starts.

Note: You can only operate the starterfor a maximum of 30 seconds at a time.

Switch the ignition on and waituntil the glow plug indicatorgoes off.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNINGS

Stop refuelling after the fuel nozzlestops the second time. Additionalfuel will fill the expansion space in

the fuel tank which could lead to fueloverflowing. Fuel spillage could behazardous to other road users.

Do not use any kind of flames orheat near the fuel system. The fuelsystem is under pressure. There is

a risk of injury if the fuel system is leaking.

FUEL QUALITY - PETROL

Note: We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel without additives or otherengine treatments.

CAUTION

Do not use leaded petrol or petrolwith additives containing othermetallic compounds (e.g.

manganese-based). They could damagethe emission system.

Use minimum 95 octane unleadedpetrol that meets the specification definedby EN 228, or equivalent.

FUEL QUALITY - DIESEL

Note: We recommend that you use onlyhigh quality fuel without additives or other

engine treatments.

WARNING

Do not mix diesel with oil, petrol orother liquids. This could cause achemical reaction.

CAUTION

Do not add kerosene, paraffin orpetrol to diesel. This could cause

damage to the fuel system.

Note: We do not recommend theprolonged use of additives intended toprevent fuel waxing.

Use diesel that meets the specificationdefined by EN 590, or equivalent.

You can use diesel that contains up to 5%RME (bio diesel).

CATALYTIC CONVERTER

Driving with a catalyticconverter

CAUTIONS

Avoid running out of fuel.

Do not crank the engine for longperiods.

Do not run the engine when a sparkplug lead is disconnected.

Do not push-start or tow-start yourvehicle. Use booster cables. SeeUsing booster cables(page 112).

Do not switch the ignition off whendriving.

Parking

WARNING

Do not park your vehicle over dryleaves or dry grass. The exhaust willcontinue to radiate a considerable

amount of heat after you have switchedthe engine off. This is a potential firehazard.

The ESP supports stability when thevehicle starts to slide away from yourintended path. This is performed bybraking individual wheels and reducingengine torque as needed.

The system also provides an enhancedtraction control function by reducingengine torque if the wheels spin when youaccelerate. This improves your ability topull away on slippery roads or loosesurfaces, and improves comfort by limitingwheel spin in hairpin bends.
