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. For this
reason, handwashing is recommended during
the first few months with a new car. Use clean
water and a washing sponge. Remember that
dirt and grit can scratch the paint.
TIPPING THE REAR SEAT BACKREST
Hang the seatbelt up in the coat hanger.

DIESEL PARTICLE FILTER
In some circumstances, the instrument
panel's display show
which point the exhaust system's particle filter
needs cleaning. This takes place automatical-
ly by driving for approx. 20 minutes at an even
main road speed. When the message clears
the so-called regeneration is complete.
EBA – EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST
Emergency Brake Assistance helps to
increase brake force and so reduce braking
distance. EBA is activated when the driver
brakes suddenly. When EBA is activated the
brake pedal depresses a little further than
usual.
– Press (hold) down the brake pedal for as
long as necessary – all braking ceases if the
pedal is released.
Transfer the head restraint to the sleeves on
the underside of the seat cushion.
