8-38 Driving and Operating
Caution
Parking assistance system should only
be considered as a supplementary
function. The driver must check the
view.
The audible warning signal can be
different depending on the objects.
The audible warning signal might not
activate in case the sensor is frozen or
stained with dirt or mud.
There is a chance of malfunction of the
parking assistance system when
driving on uneven surface such as
woods, gravel road, jagged road, or
gradient.
Do not push, or scratch the surface of
the sensor. This will likely damage the
covering.
The parking assistance system might
not recognise sharp objects, thick
winter clothes or sponges which
absorb the frequency.
Caution
When receiving other ultrasonic
signals (metal sound or air braking
noises from heavy commercial
vehicles), the parking assistance
system may not work properly.
Clean dirty sensors with a soft sponge
and clean water.
You should continue to utilise the
mirror or turning your head.
Normal precautions when reversing
should be maintained.
Do not press or shock the sensors by
hitting or directing a high pressure
water gun directly at them while
washing, or the sensors will be
damaged.
In the car park, the upper portion of the
vehicle can be hit before the sensor
operation, so check with outside
rearview mirrors or by turning your
head during parking.

FUEL

FUEL

Use of the recommended fuel is an
important part of the proper mainte-
nance of this vehicle, keeps the engine
clean, and maintains optimum vehicle
performance.

FUEL FOR DIESEL ENGINES

Diesel engines must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel
meeting the specifications of DIN EN
590. Marine diesel fuel, fuel oils, diesel
fuels, which are entirely or partially
plant based such as rape seed oil or bio-
diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions must not be used. The
flow and filterability of diesel fuels are
insufficient at low temperatures, as a
result of crystallized paraffins. Diesel
fuels with improved low-temperature
properties are therefore available on the
market during the winter months. Make
sure that you use winter fuel before the
start of the cold weather season. Use of
diesel fuels with manufacturer guaran-
teed winter properties eliminates the
need for additives.
