Steering  
Driving hints  
Control of the vehicle  
Never coast with engine not  
running (except during Autostop)  
Many systems will not function in this  
situation (e.g. brake servo unit, power  
steering). Driving in this manner is a  
danger to yourself and others. All  
systems function during an Autostop,  
but there will be a controlled reduction  
in power steering assist and vehicle  
speed is reduced.  
Starting and operating  
If power steering assist is lost  
because the engine stops or due to a  
system malfunction, the vehicle can  
be steered but may require increased  
effort.  
New vehicle running-in  
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for  
the first few journeys.  
During the first drive, smoke may  
occur because of wax and oil  
evaporating off the exhaust system.  
Park the vehicle in the open for a  
while after the first drive and avoid  
inhaling the fumes.  
During the running-in period fuel and  
engine oil consumption may be  
higher and the cleaning process of  
the diesel particle filter may take  
place more often. Autostop may be  
inhibited to allow for charging the  
battery.  
A vehicle message will be displayed  
in the Info-Display.  
Caution  
Vehicles equipped with hydraulic  
power steering:  
If the steering wheel is turned until  
it reaches the end of its travel, and  
is held in that position for more  
than 10 seconds, damage may  
occur to the power steering  
system and there may be loss of  
power steering assist.  
Stop-start system 3 137.  
Pedals  
To ensure the pedal travel is  
uninhibited, there must be no mats in  
the area of the pedals.  
Diesel particle filter 3 141.  
Use only floor mats, which fit properly  
and are fixed by the retainers on the  
driver side.
