Driving and operating

The counting of driving time alert is

reset when the ignition has been

switched off for a few minutes.

The driver drowsiness detection is

reinitialised when the ignition has

the speed remains below 40 mph for

a few minutes.

Charging

9 Warning

Driver drowsiness detection

Persons with a pacemaker should

consult a doctor for possible

precautions.

The system monitors the driver's level

of vigilance. A camera at the top of the

windscreen detects variations in

trajectory compared to the lane

markings. This system is particularly

suited to fast roads (speed higher

than 40 mph).

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.

System limitations

In the following situations, the system

may not operate properly or even not

operate at all:

This section explains the process of

charging the vehicle's high voltage

battery.

While the charge cord is plugged into

the vehicle, the vehicle cannot be

driven.

●

poor visibility caused by

inadequate lighting of the

roadway, falling snow, heavy

rain, dense fog etc.

●

dazzle caused by headlamps of

an oncoming vehicles, low sun,

reflections on damp roads,

leaving a tunnel, alternating

shade and light etc.

After three first level alerts, the

system triggers a new alert with a

message, accompanied by a more

pronounced audible signal.

In certain driving conditions (poor

road surface or strong winds), the

system may give alerts independent

of the driver's level of vigilance.

●

windscreen area in front of the

camera covered by dirt, snow,

stickers etc.

no lane markings detected or

multiple lane markings due to

roadworks

●

Charging an electric vehicle can

stress a building's electrical

system more than a typical

household appliance.

●

Mount the charging cord to

reduce strain on the electrical

outlet / plug.

●

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

use if the electrical outlet / plug is

hot, then have the electrical

outlet serviced by a qualified

electrician.

battery is stored under the rear floor

storage cover in the load

compartment 3 194. The charge cord

is compatible with the domestic

electrical outlet of the respective

country. It includes a control box with

charging status indicators.

If the vehicle is to be used abroad,

check whether the wall plug of the

charge cord is compatible with the

local electrical outlets. If a different

charge cord is needed, consult a

workshop.

●

Grounding instructions

Fuel

This product must be grounded. If this

product should malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a path of

least resistance for electric current to

reduce the risk of electric shock. This

product is equipped with a cord that

has a grounding conductor. The plug

must be plugged into an appropriate

outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local

codes and ordinances.

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.

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.

9 Warning

Improper connection of the charge

cord ground may cause electrical

shock. Check with a qualified

electrician if there is doubt as to

whether the charge circuit is

The engine specific requirements

regarding octane rating are given in

the engine data overview 3 260. 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
