EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST, EBA

Emergency Brake Assistance helps to increase
brake force and so reduce braking distance.
EBA is activated when the driver brakes sud-
denly. When EBA is activated the brake pedal
lowers slightly more than usual, depress (hold)
the brake pedal as long as necessary. If the
brake pedal is released then all braking ceases.

DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER

Diesel cars are equipped with a particle filter,
which results in more efficient emission con-
trol. The particles in the exhaust gases are col-
lected in the filter during normal driving. So-
called "regeneration" is started automatically
in order to burn away the particles and empty
the filter. Engine power may be slightly redu-
ced during regeneration.

CAR CARE

Washing by hand is gentler to the paintwork
than an automatic car wash. The paintwork is
also more sensitive when it is new. Handwash-
ing is recommended during the first few
months.
