tion which automatically limits the option of using
electric operation with the
PURE or HYBRID
drive mode in low temperatures. If such a situa-
tion occurs then the diesel engine will be running
the whole time.
Diesel fuel thermal resistance is a measure of
the usefulness of the fuel at low temperatures.
Normally, the diesel fuel's thermal properties are
adapted to the climate zone and season in which
it is distributed and sold.
The automatic limitation in low temperatures
increases gradually depending on the age of the
fuel in the tank. When the car has recently been
refuelled there is no limitation, but it increases
the older the fuel in the tank becomes, counted
in months.
The purpose of the function is, in low outside
temperatures, to allow the car to consume fuel at
such a rate that fresh fuel - with the correct ther-
mal resistance - can/must be added before the
critical temperature for the current fuel is
reached.
Fuel age
Old diesel fuel (from approx. 5 months and older)
in combination with condensation can, in some
circumstances, lead to algal and bacterial growth
in the fuel system and/or oxidation of the fuel
with the risk of operational disruption as a result.
To avoid such problems, the car has a built-in
function which checks the age of the fuel. In con-
nection with this, a self-explanatory text message
may appear, for example:
•
Aged fuel Start combustion engine to
consume fuel
•
Aged fuel Engine will run to consume
fuel
•
Aged fuel Fill up fuel tank
Follow the recommended action where appropri-
ate.
Empty tank
Once the engine has stopped due to fuel starva-
tion, the fuel system needs a few moments to
carry out a check. Do this before starting the
engine, once the fuel tank has been filled with
diesel:
1. Insert the remote control key in the ignition
switch and push it in to the end position. For
more information, see Key positions (p. 82).
2. Press the START button without depressing
the brake and/or clutch pedal.
3. Wait approx. one minute.
4. To start the engine: Depress the brake
and/or clutch pedal and then press the
START button again.
NOTE
Before filling with fuel in the event of fuel
shortage:
•
Stop the car on as flat/level ground as
possible - if the car is tilting there is a risk
of air pockets in the fuel supply.
To bear in mind when you have run out
of fuel
Avoid running out of fuel. In the event of an
empty tank, it is possible to continue driving with
the available charge in the hybrid battery. After
refilling the fuel, it may seem to take longer to
start the engine (up to 30 seconds). In certain
cases, repeated attempts to start the car may
also be required.
Once the engine has been started, it is recom-
mended to keep it running for at least 5 minutes.
Select drive mode
AWD or POWER in order to
facilitate the supply of fuel.
If the message Internal combustion engine
unavailable Limited performance and
mileage
is shown in the combined instrument
panel's information display - switch off and then
restart the engine again to regain full function.
