4 Operating instructions

Operating instructions

Warning lights

Accumulation of soot in the particulate filter of diesel

engines ¬

If this symbol ¬ comes on, you can help the filter to self-clean by driving suit-
ably for the purpose.
You should drive for about 15 minutes in fourth or fifth gear (automatic
gearbox: S gear setting) at a speed of 60 km.p.h., with the engine running at
approximately 2000 rpm. This raises the temperature and burns off the soot
accumulated in the filter. When the filter has been cleaned successfully, the
filter light goes off.
If the light on symbol ¬ does not go off, take the vehicle to a specialist work-
shop to repair the fault.

WARNING
• Always reduce speed as appropriate for the terrain, road type, traffic
and weather conditions. The recommendations for driving must never lead
drivers to break the traffic laws.
• The particulate filter on diesel engines can reach very high tempera-
tures, therefore it is recommended not to park the vehicle in such a way
that the particulate filter comes into contact with the highly inflammable
material under the vehicle. Failure to comply could result in fire.

Tips and Maintenance
Driving and the environment
Particulate filter for diesel engines
The particulate filter for diesel engines removes the soot
produced during diesel combustion.
The particulate filter for diesel engines removes almost all the carbon parti-
cles from the exhaust system. When driving normally, the filter is self-
cleaning. If the filter is unable to self-clean (e.g. when constantly making
short journeys), there is a build-up of soot in the filter and the symbol ¬ for
the diesel engine particulate filter lights up. See under Warning Lights.
WARNING
• The particulate filter on diesel engines can reach very high tempera-
tures, therefore it is recommended not to park the vehicle in such a way
that the particulate filter comes into contact with the highly inflammable
material under the vehicle. Failure to comply could result in fire.
Caution
Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine particulate filter must not be refuelled
using biodiesel (RME), given that the fuel system may be damaged.
Tips and Maintenance 5
Care and cleaning
Automatic car washes
The car can be washed in an automatic car wash without any
problem.
The paint is so durable that the car can normally be washed without problems
in an automatic car wash. However, the effect on the paint depends to a large
extent on the design of the car wash, the brushes used, the filtering of the
wash water and the type of detergents and wax solutions used, etc.
There are no special precautions to be taken before putting the vehicle
through an automatic car wash, other than those that must always be taken
(close windows and sun roofs).
If the vehicle has special accessories such as spoilers or a roof carrier or two-
way radio aerial, etc., it is advisable to consult the car wash operator.
After washing, the brakes may be slow to respond, as the brake discs and
pads will be wet, or even frozen in winter. “Dry” the brakes by applying the
brakes carefully several times.
WARNING
Moisture, ice and salt on the brakes may affect braking efficiency. Risk of
accident.
Caution
Before taking the vehicle through the car wash, do not screw in the aerial if it
is retracted, as this could damage it.
6 Tips and Maintenance

Accessories, parts replacement and

modifications

Roof aerial*

The vehicle may be fitted with a folding* anti-theft* roof aerial, which can be
folded back.

To fold
Unscrew the aerial rod, tilt it backwards into a horizontal position and then
screw in again.

To return to working position

Proceed in reverse order.

Caution
Before taking the vehicle through the car wash, do not screw in the aerial if it
is retracted, as this could damage it.
