Fuel filler cap
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.
General information
For the values specific to your vehicle,
refer to the Certificate of Conformity
provided with your vehicle or other
national registration documents.
The determination of fuel consumption
is regulated by directive R (EC)
No.715/2007 and No.2017/1151 (in the
latest applicable version).
The specification of CO
2
emission is also
a constituent of the directive.
The figures given must not be taken as a
guarantee for the actual fuel consumption
of a particular vehicle.
Furthermore, fuel consumption is
dependent on personal driving style as
well as road and traffic conditions.
All values are based on the EU base
model with standard equipment.
The calculation of fuel consumption
takes into account the vehicle's kerb
weight, ascertained in accordance with
the regulations. Optional equipment may
result in slightly higher fuel consumption
and CO
2
emission levels and a lower
maximum speed.
F
UEL CONSUMPTION AND CO2
EMISSIONS
All values are combined values under
WLTP condition.
ICE : The fuel consumption is within a
range of 36 to 56 mpg.
The CO
2
emission is within a range of
148 to 111 g/km.

Trailer hitch
GENERAL INFORMATION
Caution
For new vehicles, only tow a trailer after
having driven at least 620 miles.
Only use towing equipment that has been
approved for your vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing equipment
to a workshop. It may be necessary to
make changes that affect the cooling
system, heat shields or other equipment.
Fitting of towing equipment could cover
the opening of the towing eye.
If this is the case, use the coupling ball
bar for towing. Always keep the coupling
ball bar in the vehicle to have it on hand if
needed.
DRIVING CHARACTERISTICS AND
TOWING TIPS
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the
coupling ball. However, do not do so if
a stabilizer, which acts on the coupling
ball, is being used to reduce snaking
movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an
oscillation damper is used and the
permissible gross trailer weight does not
exceed the vehicle's curb weight.
For trailers with low driving stability and
caravan trailers, the use of an oscillation
damper is strongly recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more
slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the same
gear as if driving uphill and drive at a
similar speed.
