Roof rack systemRoof rackFor safety reasons and to avoiddamage to the roof, the vehicleapproved roof rack system isrecommended.Follow the installation instructionsand remove the roof rack when not inuse.

72 Storage

Loading information● Heavy objects in the load

compartment should be evenlydistributed and placed as farforward as possible. If objectscan be stacked, the heavierobjects should be placed at thebottom.

● Secure objects with lashingstraps attached to lashing eyes3 68.

● Secure loose objects in loadcompartment to prevent themfrom sliding.

● The load must not obstruct theoperation of the pedals, parkingbrake and gear selector lever, orhinder the freedom of movementof the driver. Do not place anyunsecured objects in the interior.

● Do not drive with an open loadcompartment. In addition, thenumber plate is onlydistinguishable and illuminatedcorrectly if the doors are closed.

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 vehicle.

● The payload is the differencebetween the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identificationplate 3 201) and the EC kerbweight.To calculate the payload, enterthe data for your vehicle in theWeights table at the front of thismanual.The EC kerb weight includesweights for the driver (68 kg),luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank90% full).Optional equipment andaccessories increase the kerbweight.

● Driving with a roof load increasesthe sensitivity of the vehicle tocross-winds and has a

detrimental 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 (whichincludes the weight of the roofrack) is 200 kg for standard roofvariants. The roof load is thecombined weight of the roof rackand the load.

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.

Diesel particle filterThe diesel particle filter system filtersharmful soot particles out of theexhaust gases. The system includesa self-cleaning function that runsautomatically during driving withoutany notification.The filter is cleaned by periodicallyburning off the soot particles at hightemperature. This process takesplace automatically under set driving

conditions. Autostop is not availableand fuel consumption may be higherduring this period. The emission ofsmells and smoke during this processis normal.Under certain driving conditions, e.g.short 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 controlindicator A 3 86. Seek theassistance of a workshopimmediately.

Caution

If the cleaning process isinterrupted, there is a risk ofprovoking severe engine damage.

Cleaning takes place quickest at highengine speeds and loads.

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


Caution

Fuel grades other than those listedon page 3 149, 3 203 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.If control indicator Z flashes, thepermitted emission limits may beexceeded. Lift your foot off theaccelerator until Z stops flashing andis steadily illuminated. Contact aworkshop immediately.

Malfunction indicator light 3 85.

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 designation of the DEF used isAdBlue Ⓡ. It is a non-toxic, non-flammable, colourless and odourlessfluid which consists of 32% urea and68% water.NoteAdBlue Ⓡ is a registered trademarkof the Verband derAutomobilindustrie e.V. (VDA).

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.

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.

NoteIf AdBlue must be refilled at very lowtemperatures, the refilling of AdBluemay not be detected by the system.In this case, park the vehicle in a

space with a higher ambienttemperature until AdBlue isliquefied.NoteIf engine starting is prohibited due tolow Adblue level, we recommendadding a volume of at least 10 litresof AdBlue when refilling. Avoid minortop-ups (e.g. less than 5 litres),otherwise the system may not detecta refill.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 vehicle must be parked on a levelsurface.The filler neck for AdBlue is locatedbehind the filler flap located on theright-hand side of the vehicle.The filler flap can only be opened ifthe vehicle is unlocked and the right-hand door is opened.

Do not use thepedal as a foot rest.

Caution

It is inadvisable to drive with handresting on the selector lever.

Manual transmissionautomatedThe manual transmission automated(MTA) permits manual (manualmode) or automatic gear shifting(automatic mode), both withautomatic clutch control.

Transmission display

Shows the mode and current gear.


Starting the engineDepress the brake pedal whenstarting the engine. If the brake pedalis not depressed, T illuminates in thetransmission display and the enginecannot be started.When the brake pedal is depressed,the transmission automatically shiftsto N (neutral); "N" appears in thetransmission display and the enginecan be started. There may be a slightdelay.

Selector lever

Always move the selector lever in theappropriate direction as far as it willgo. Upon release, it automaticallyreturns to the centre position.N : neutralA/M : switch between automatic and

manual modeThe transmission displayshows "A" when in automaticmode.

R : reverse gearEngage only when vehicle isstationary. The transmissiondisplay shows "R" whenreverse gear is engaged.

+ : shift to a higher gear.- : shift to a lower gear.

Starting offWhen the engine is started, thetransmission is in automatic mode.Depress the brake pedal and movethe selector lever towards + toengage first gear.If R is selected, reverse gear isengaged. The vehicle starts to movewhen the brake pedal is released. To

start off quickly, release the brakepedal and accelerate immediatelyafter engaging a gear.In automatic mode the transmissionshifts to other gears automatically,dependent on driving conditions.To engage manual mode, move theselector lever towards A/M. Thecurrent gear will appear in thetransmission display.To engage first gear, depress brakepedal and move selector levertowards + or -. Shift to a higher orlower gear by moving selector lever to+ or -. Gears can be skipped bymoving the selector lever repeatedlyat short intervals.

Stopping the vehicleIn automatic or manual mode,first gear is engaged and the clutch isreleased when the vehicle is stopped.In R, reverse gear remains engaged.When stopping on gradients, engageparking brake or depress the brakepedal. To prevent overheating of theclutch, an intermittent audible


warning may sound as a signal todepress the brake pedal or apply theparking brake.Switch off engine if stopping for alengthy period, e.g. in traffic jams.When the vehicle is parked and thedriver's door is opened, a warningchime will sound if neutral is notselected or the brake pedal has notbeen depressed.

Engine braking

Automatic modeWhen driving downhill, the manualtransmission automated does notshift into higher gears until a fairlyhigh engine speed has been reached.It shifts down in good time whenbraking.

Manual modeTo utilise the engine braking effect,select a lower gear in good time whendriving downhill.

Rocking the vehicleRocking the vehicle is onlypermissible if the vehicle is stuck insand, mud, snow or a hole. Move theselector lever between R and A/M (orbetween + and -) in a repeat pattern,while applying light pressure to theaccelerator pedal. Do not race theengine and avoid suddenacceleration.

ParkingApply the parking brake. The mostrecently engaged gear (seetransmission display) remainsengaged. With N, no gear is engaged.When the ignition is switched off, thetransmission no longer responds tomovement of the selector lever.If the ignition is not switched off, or theparking brake has not been applied, awarning chime will sound uponopening the driver's door.

Manual modeIf a higher gear is selected when theengine speed is too low, or a lowergear when the speed is too high, the

shift is not executed. This preventsthe engine from running at too low ortoo high an engine speed.If engine speed is too low, thetransmission automatically shifts to alower gear.If engine speed is too high, thetransmission only switches to a highergear via kickdown.

Electronic drivingprogrammesWinter mode V


Activate the Winter mode if you haveproblems starting off on a slipperyroad surface.

DeactivationThe Laden mode is switched off by:● pressing kg again● turning off the ignition

KickdownIf the accelerator pedal is pressedpast the pressure point, thetransmission shifts to a lower geardepending on engine speed. Fullengine power is available foracceleration.If engine speed is too high thetransmission switches to a highergear, even in manual mode. Withoutkickdown this automatic shift is noteffected in manual mode.

FaultIn the event of a fault, control indicatorW is shown in the transmissiondisplay. Continued driving is possibleprovided the vehicle is driven withcare and anticipation.Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.


Interruption of power supplyThe clutch is not disengaged if thereis an interruption of the power supplywhen a gear is engaged. The vehiclecannot move.If the vehicle battery is discharged,start the vehicle using jump leads3 189.If the cause of the fault is not adischarged vehicle battery, seek theassistance of a workshop.If neutral cannot be selected, thevehicle must only be towed with thedrive wheels raised off the ground3 191.Towing the vehicle 3 191.

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 you depress thebrake pedal firmly. You need to useconsiderably more force 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 86.

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.Control indicator u 3 87.

FaultIf control indicators u and Ailluminate with the messages CHECKABS and CHECK ESP in the DriverInformation Centre (DIC), there is afault in the ABS. The brake systemremains operational but without ABSregulation.


9 Warning

If there is a fault in the ABS, thewheels may be liable to lock dueto braking that is heavier thannormal. The advantages of ABSare no longer available. Duringhard braking, the vehicle can nolonger be steered and mayswerve.

If control indicators u, A, R andC illuminate, the ABS and ESP aredeactivated and the messageBRAKING FAULT is shown in theDIC. Seek the assistance of aworkshop.Have the cause of the fault remediedby a workshop.

Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 90. FuelFuel for diesel enginesOnly use diesel fuel that complieswith EN 590. The fuel must have lowsulphur content (max. 10 ppm).Equivalent standardised fuels with abiodiesel (= FAME according toEN14214) content of max. 7% byvolume (like DIN 51628 or equivalentstandards) may be used.In countries outside the EuropeanUnion use Euro-Diesel fuel with asulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

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 or entirely plant-based dieselfuels, such as rape seed oil or biodiesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-

water emulsions. Diesel fuels mustnot be diluted with fuels for petrolengines.The flow and filterability of diesel fuelsare temperature-dependent. Whentemperatures are low, refuel withdiesel fuel with guaranteed winterproperties.Diesel fuel filter 3 162, diesel fuelsystem bleeding 3 162.

Refuelling

9 Danger

Before refuelling, switch off engineand any external heaters withcombustion chambers. Switch offany 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.

Caution

In case of misfuelling, do notswitch on ignition.

The fuel tank filler neck with bayonetcap is located on the left front side ofthe vehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be openedif the vehicle is unlocked and the dooris opened. Open the fuel filler flap byhand.

9 Danger

Vehicles with stop-start system:The engine must be switched offand the ignition key removed, toavoid risk of engine beingrestarted automatically by thesystem.

Capacities 3 220.

Remove the fuel filler cap by turningit anti-clockwise.The fuel filler cap can be hung on thelower hook of the fuel filler flap.For refuelling, fully insert the pumpnozzle and switch it on.

After automatic cut-off, it can betopped-up with max. two doses offuel.

Caution

Wipe off any overflowing fuelimmediately.

When refuelling is complete, replacethe fuel filler cap and turn it clockwise.Close the fuel filler flap.

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

Fuel consumption - CO2-EmissionsFor the values specific to yourvehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate ofConformity provided with your vehicleor other national registrationdocuments.


General informationThe official fuel consumption andspecific CO2 emission figures quotedrelate to the EU base model withstandard equipment.Fuel consumption data and CO2emission data are determinedaccording to regulation715/2007 692/2008 A, taking intoconsideration the vehicle weight inrunning order, as specified by theregulation.The figures must not be taken as aguarantee for the actual fuelconsumption of a particular vehicle.Additional equipment may result inslightly higher results than the statedconsumption and CO2 figures.Furthermore, fuel consumption isdependent on personal driving styleas well as road and traffic conditions.

Trailer hitchGeneral informationOnly use towing equipment that hasbeen approved for your vehicle.Entrust fitting of towing equipment ata later date to a workshop. It may benecessary to make changes thataffect the cooling system, heatshields or other equipment.

Driving characteristics andtowing tipsIn the case of trailers with brakes,attach the breakaway stopping cable.Before 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 withlow driving stability the use of astabiliser is recommended.A maximum speed of 80 km/h mustnot be exceeded, even in countrieswhere higher speeds are permitted.

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 3 221.

Trailer towingTrailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads arevehicle-dependent and engine-dependent maximum values whichmust not be exceeded. The actualtrailer load is the difference betweenthe actual gross weight of the trailerand the actual coupling socket loadwith the trailer coupled.The permissible trailer loads arespecified in the vehicle documents. Ingeneral, they are valid for gradientsup to max. 12%.The permitted trailer load applies upto the specified incline and up to analtitude of 1000 metres above sea


level. 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 additionalaltitude. The gross train weight doesnot have to be reduced when drivingon roads with slight inclines (less than8%, e.g. motorways).The permissible gross train weightmust not be exceeded. This weight isspecified on the identification plate3 201.

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 is specified on thetowing equipment identification plateand in the vehicle documents. Alwaysaim for the maximum load, especiallyin the case of heavy trailers. Thevertical coupling load should neverfall below 25 kg.

In the case of trailer loads of1200 kg or more, the vertical couplingload should not be less than 50 kg.

Rear axle loadWhen the trailer is coupled and thetowing vehicle fully loaded (includingall occupants), the permissible rearaxle load (see identification plate orvehicle documents) must not beexceeded.

Towing equipment

Caution

When operating without a trailer,remove the coupling ball bar.

Towing equipment audiblewarningFor vehicles fitted with towingequipment, when connected to atrailer the pitch of the audible warningchanges upon operation of the turnsignals.

The pitch of the audible warning willchange if a turn signal light on thetrailer or the towing vehicle fails.

Trailer stability assistIf the system detects snakingmovements, engine power is reducedand the vehicle/trailer combination isselectively braked until the snakingceases. While the system is working,keep steering wheel as still aspossible.Trailer stability assist (TSA) is afunction of the Electronic StabilityProgram (ESP) 3 138.

This also applies to vehicleswith tyre pressure monitoring system.The tyre pressure information labelon the driver's door frame indicatesthe original equipment tyres and thecorrespondent tyre pressures.Always inflate tyres to the pressuresshown on the label.Tyre pressures 3 221.The tyre pressure data refers to coldtyres. It applies to summer and wintertyres.Always inflate the spare tyre to thepressure specified for full load.

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 3 203.2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show allpossible tyre combinations 3 221.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.

178 Vehicle care

Rear-wheel drive, with twin rearwheelsWhen inflating the outer tyre, theinflation tube should be passedbetween the two wheels.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystemThe Tyre Pressure MonitoringSystem (TPMS) uses radio andsensor technology to check tyrepressure levels.

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 type approval.

The TPMS sensors monitor the airpressure in the tyres and transmit tyrepressure readings to a receiverlocated in the vehicle.Tyre pressure chart 3 221.

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. Restrictions forfilmed or matt painted body parts ordecor tapes, see "Polishing andwaxing".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 wipersmust be switched off and the exteriormirrors must be folded in. Removeantenna and external accessoriessuch as roof racks 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 4 to 9.Do not use cleaning agents on hotsurfaces.

Have the door hinges of all doorsgreased by a workshop.

Do not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jetcleaner.Thoroughly rinse and leather-off thevehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Useseparate leathers for painted andglass surfaces: remnants of wax onthe windows will impair vision.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.

194 Vehicle care

Paintwork polish with silicone forms aprotective film, making waxingunnecessary.Unpainted plastic body parts must notbe treated with wax or polishingagents.Matt filmed body parts or decor tapesmust not be polished, to avoidgleaming. Do not use hot waxprogrammes in automatic car washesif the vehicle is equipped with theseparts.Matt painted decor parts, e.g. mirrorhousing cover, must not be polished.Otherwise these parts would becomeagleam or the colour would bedissolved.

Windows and windscreen wiperbladesUse 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.

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.

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 oil

aging control, whereas viscositygrade gives information on the oil'sthickness over a temperature range.Dexos is the newest engine oil qualitythat provides optimum protection fordiesel engines. If it is unavailable,engine oils of other listed qualitiesmust be used.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 202.

Topping up engine oilEngine oils of different manufacturersand brands can be mixed as long asthey comply with the required engineoil quality and viscosity.Use of engine oil with onlyACEA A1/B1 or only A5/B5 quality isprohibited, since it can cause long-term engine damage under certainoperating conditions.Select the appropriate engine oilbased on its quality and on theminimum ambient temperature3 202.

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

Coolant and antifreezeUse only silicate-free long life coolant(LLC) antifreeze approved for thevehicle. Consult a workshop.The system is factory filled withcoolant designed for excellentcorrosion protection and frostprotection down to approx. -28 °C.

Service and maintenance 199

This concentration should bemaintained all year round. The use ofadditional coolant additives thatintend to give additional corrosionprotection or seal against minor leakscan cause function problems. Liabilityfor consequences resulting from theuse of additional coolant additives willbe rejected.

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

AdBlueOnly use AdBlue to reduce thenitrogen oxides in the exhaustemission 3 126.

Customer informationDeclaration of conformityThis vehicle has systems thattransmit and/or receive radio wavessubject to Directive 1999/5/EC.These systems are in compliancewith the essential requirements andother relevant provisions ofDirective 1999/5/EC. Copies of theoriginal Declarations of Conformitycan be obtained on our website.

Vehicle data recordingand privacyEvent data recordersData storage modules in thevehicleA large number of electroniccomponents of your vehicle containdata storage modules temporarily orpermanently storing technical dataabout the condition of the vehicle,events and errors. In general, thistechnical information documents thecondition of parts, modules, systemsor the environment:● Operating conditions of system

components (e.g. filling levels).● Status messages of the vehicle

and its single components (e.g.number of wheel revolutions /rotational speed, deceleration,lateral acceleration).

● Dysfunctions and defects inimportant system components.

224 Customer information

● Vehicle reactions in particulardriving situations (e.g. inflation ofan airbag, activation of thestability regulation system).

● Environmental conditions (e.g.temperature).

These data are exclusively technicaland help identifying and correctingerrors as well as optimizing vehiclefunctions.Motion profiles indicating travelledroutes cannot be created with thesedata.If services are used (e.g. repairworks, service processes, warrantycases, quality assurance),employees of the service network(manufacturer included) are able toread out this technical informationfrom the event and error data storagemodules applying special diagnosticdevices. If required, you will receivefurther information at theseworkshops. After an error has beencorrected, the data are deleted fromthe error storage module or they areconstantly overwritten.

When using the vehicle, situationsmay occur in which these technicaldata related to other information(accident report, damages on thevehicle, witness statements etc.) maybe associated with a specific person -possibly, with the assistance of anexpert.Additional functions contractuallyagreed upon with the client (e.g.vehicle location in emergency cases)allow the transmission of particularvehicle data from the vehicle.

Radio FrequencyIdentification (RFID)RFID technology is used in somevehicles for functions such as tyrepressure monitoring and ignitionsystem security. It is also used inconnection with conveniences suchas radio remote controls for doorlocking/unlocking and starting, and in-vehicle transmitters for garage dooropeners. RFID technology in Opelvehicles does not use or recordpersonal information or link with anyother Opel system containingpersonal information.
