If the trajectory of the vehicle

suggests a certain level of

drowsiness or inattention by the

driver, the system triggers the first

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.

Charging at wallboxes

no lane markings detected or

multiple lane markings due to

roadworks

In certain driving conditions (poor

road surface or strong winds), the

system may give alerts independent

of the driver's level of vigilance.

The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised when the ignition has

been switched off for a few minutes or

the speed remains below 40 mph for

a few minutes.

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.

System limitations

In the following situations, the system

may not operate properly or even not

operate at all:

Charging time may take approx. 5

hours with a charging power of 11 kW

and 15 hours with a charging power

of 3.7 kW.

approx. 80% of battery capacity

may be charged in approx. 0.5

hours at a charging power of 100

kW.

Charging at charging stations

Charging

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.

Important information about

portable electric vehicle charging

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.

●

Charging an electric vehicle 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 electric vehicle

charging.

Check the electrical outlet / plug

while charging and discontinue

If no status indicator comes on, verify

the circuit breaker of the electrical

outlet:

Fuel

Fuel for petrol engines

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

●

If the circuit breaker has broken,

contact a qualified electrician.

●

If the circuit breaker has not

broken, the charging cable may

be defective. Do not use the

charging cable and seek the

assistance of a workshop.

Caution

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 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 3 232. 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.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. A lower octane rating

can reduce engine power and torque

and slightly increases fuel

consumption.
