Driving and operating operations for wading , involving checks for water contamination, at the earliest opportunity. Service checks after wading Check for the ingress of water into the following: ■ Brake fluid reservoir ■ Air cleaner element ■ Engine ■ Transmission ■ Axles ■ Interior of vehicle Renew any lubricating oil or hydraulic fluid that has a milky appearance, indicating contamination with water. Cleaning Clean the vehicle thoroughly and as soon as possible after driving offroad.
138 Driving and operating Brakes The brake system comprises two independent brake circuits. If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can still be braked using the other brake circuit. However, braking effect is achieved only when the brake pedal is depressed firmly. Considerably more force is needed for this. The braking distance is extended. Seek the assistance of a workshop before continuing your journey.
Driving and operating Applying when vehicle is stationary Pull switch m, the electrical parking brake operates automatically with adequate force. For maximum force, e.g. parking with a trailer or on inclines, pull switch m twice. The electrical parking brake can always be activated, even if the ignition is off. Do not operate electrical parking brake system too often without engine running as this will discharge the battery. Before leaving the vehicle, check the electrical parking brake status.
140 Driving and operating movement. Seek the assistance of a workshop to have the cause of the fault remedied. Ride control systems Brake assist Electronic Stability Control (ESC) improves driving stability when necessary, regardless of the type of road surface or tyre grip. It also prevents the drive wheels from spinning. As soon as the vehicle starts to swerve (understeer/oversteer), engine output is reduced and the wheels are braked individually.
Driving and operating Switch off ESC function, to allow engine rpm to increase, by pressing button t briefly. Control indicator t illuminates in the instrument cluster. ESC is reactivated by pressing button t again. The control indicator extinguishes. Control indicator t 3 89. Hydraulic brake assist When the ESC function comes into action and recognises any emergency situation requiring hard braking, it automatically delivers increased braking pressure to the wheels.
142 Fault Driving and operating The yellow control indicator u flashes to indicate that the system is not ready for conditions to operate, due to the high temperature (approx. 350 - 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking. It will extinguish when the temperature drops below 350 °C. The yellow control indicator u illuminates when there is a malfunction in the system, due to the extremely high temperature (over 400 °C) of friction material, through severe or repeated braking.
Driving and operating stored and maintained. Control indicator m illuminates green. Accelerator pedal can be released. Vehicle speed can be increased by depressing the accelerator pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released, the previously stored speed is resumed. Increase speed Do not use the cruise control if it is not advisable to maintain a constant speed. With automatic transmission, only activate cruise control in automatic mode. Control indicator m 3 92.
144 Driving and operating Parking assist Activation 30 cm, the signal is continuous. The acoustic signal may differ depending on the type of object detected. Deactivation The parking assist system makes parking easier by measuring the distance between the vehicle and obstacles to the front and rear, and giving acoustic signals. It is the driver, however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre. The system consists of four ultrasonic parking sensors in both the front and rear bumpers.
Driving and operating If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times continuously when there are no obstacles near the front or rear bumper, there is a fault in the system. Have the cause of the fault remedied by a workshop. Important hints for using the parking assist system 9 Warning Under certain circumstances, various reflective surfaces on objects or clothing as well as external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect obstacles.
146 Driving and operating Caution Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or equivalent can lead to deposits or engine damage and may affect your warranty. Caution Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage. Note Use unleaded Premium fuel only for the following countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova.
Driving and operating Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils, Aquazole and similar dieselwater emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines. Refuelling 9 Danger Before refuelling, switch off engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers. Switch off any mobile phones.

176 Vehicle care To remove the jack and vehicle tools, open the tailgate. Remove wing bolt from the jack by rotating it anticlockwise and remove the jack and wheel wrench bag. Remove straps holding the bag containing the wheel wrench. Remove wheel wrench from the bag. Wheel changing 3 186. Spare wheel 3 189. Vehicles with tyre repair kit Where present, hang the hook to the upper part of the tailgate opening. Push both levers on the floor cover towards the handle and pull up the cover by the handle.
Vehicle care Wheels and tyres Tyre condition, wheel condition To remove the tyre repair kit, open the tailgate and pull the floor cover handle upwards 3 70. Caution Do not allow objects to protrude above the top of the rear floor storage compartment, to avoid damage to the storage area and the load compartment floor. Tyre repair kit 3 183. Drive over edges slowly and at right angles if possible. Driving over sharp edges can cause tyre and wheel damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb when parking.
178 Vehicle care V = up to 240 km/h W = up to 270 km/h Tyre pressure Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. This also applies to vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system. Use the valve cap key to make unscrewing the valve caps easier. The valve cap key is located on the inside of the tank flap. Tyre pressure 3 210. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Vehicle care Note In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally required, the use of wheels without pressure sensors will invalidate the vehicle type approval. The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver located in the vehicle. Each tyre, including the spare, should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the recommended inflation pressure 3 210.
180 Vehicle care For example, the following messages can be displayed: If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre pressures 3 178, 3 210. Temperature dependency A graphic indicating the left rear tyre is shown together with the current tyre pressure; slight pressure deviation. Reduce speed. Check tyre pressure at next opportunity with an appropriate gauge and correct if necessary. On the Colour-Info-Display, this message will appear in yellow.
Vehicle care TPMS sensor matching process Each TPMS sensor has a unique identification code. The identification code must be matched to a new tyre/ wheel position after rotating the tyres or replacing one or more of the TPMS sensors. The TPMS sensor matching process should also be performed after replacing a spare tyre with a road tyre containing a TPMS sensor. The control indicator w and the warning message should extinguish at the next ignition cycle.
182 Vehicle care Tread depth Check tread depth at regular intervals. Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres). For safety reasons it is recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary by more than 2 mm. indicators (TWI). Their position is indicated by markings on the sidewall. If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels.
Vehicle care 9 Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers could lead to sudden pressure loss and thereby accidents. Tyre chains Tyre chains are only permitted on the front wheels. They must be fitted to the tyres symmetrically in order to achieve a concentric fit. Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 15 mm to the tyre tread and the inboard sides (including chain lock). 9 Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout. Tyre chains are permitted only on 16 inch wheels.
184 Vehicle care Pull the floor cover handle upwards 3 70. Vehicle tools 3 175. Caution Do not allow objects to protrude above the top of the rear floor storage compartment, to avoid damage to the storage area and the load compartment floor. Screw the sealant filler hose onto the tyre valve. 3. Connect the power plug to the power outlet. Unplug all items from other power outlets. 4. Switch on ignition. To avoid discharging the battery, we recommend running the engine. 5.
Vehicle care is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit. Move the vehicle one tyre rotation. Reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged. Seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button next to the pressure gauge. Do not run the compressor for longer than 10 minutes. 8.
186 Vehicle care 13. Turn the selector switch clockwise to the air only position. Switch on the compressor to inflate the tyre with air only. Note The driving characteristic of the repaired tyre is severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced. If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes. Note the expiry date of the kit. After this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed. Pay attention to storage information on sealant canister.
Vehicle care ■ Do not raise the vehicle more than is necessary to change a wheel. ■ No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up. ■ Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle. ■ Do not start the engine when it is raised on the jack. ■ Clean wheel nuts and thread before mounting the wheel. 187 1. Pull off the wheel cover. 2. Install the wheel wrench ensuring that it locates securely and loosen each wheel nut by one turn by turning anticlockwise.
188 Vehicle care 8. Screw on the wheel nuts and tighten slightly by hand by turning clockwise until wheel is held against the hub. 9. Rotate wrench anticlockwise and lower vehicle to the ground. 5. Attach wheel wrench to eye of threaded rod and rotate wrench clockwise to raise vehicle. If this is not the case, carefully lower the vehicle immediately and reposition the jack. Raise the vehicle until the wheel is just clear of the ground. 6. Unscrew wheel nuts completely and wipe clean with a cloth.
Vehicle care 189 corresponding speed limits apply, even though no label indicates this. Seek the assistance of a workshop to check the applicable speed limit. Use of the temporary spare wheel could affect driveability, particularly if using winter tyres. Have the defective tyre renewed as soon as possible and have the wheel balanced and fitted to the vehicle. Front arm position of the lifting platform centrically under the recess of the sill.
190 Vehicle care Only mount one temporary spare wheel. Do not drive faster than 80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not use for a long period of time. When the temporary spare wheel is fitted, do not take the vehicle through an automatic vehicle wash with guide rails. The temporary spare wheel may get caught on the rails, causing damage to the tyre, wheel and other vehicle parts. The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel. Tyre chains 3 183.
Vehicle care ■ A discharged battery can already freeze at a temperature of 0 °C. Defrost the frozen battery before connecting jump leads. ■ Wear eye protection and protective clothing when handling a battery. ■ Use a booster battery with the same voltage (12 Volts). Its capacity (Ah) must not be much less than that of the discharged battery. ■ Use jump leads with insulated terminals and a cross section of at least 16 mm2 (25 mm2 for diesel engines).
192 Vehicle care 4. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear window) of the vehicle receiving the jump start. 5. Operate discharged vehicle for approx. 20 minutes to allow for adequate battery recharging. 6. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads. Towing Towing the vehicle Remove the spoiler lip from the front left-hand side of the vehicle by unfastening the six screws located on the underside of the vehicle. Then attach the towing eye.
Vehicle care Turn key to ignition switch position ACC and release the electrical parking brake before towing the vehicle. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. When the engine is not running, considerably more force is needed to brake and steer. Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
194 Vehicle care The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering a vehicle. Caution Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily. Excessive tractive force can damage the vehicle. To prevent damage, do not take up slack in the tow rope too quickly. After towing, unscrew the rear towing eye attachment clockwise to remove, and reinstall the cover. Appearance care Exterior care Locks The locks are lubricated at the factory using a high quality lock cylinder grease.
Vehicle care When cleaning with a high-pressure jet cleaner, ensure a minimum distance of 30 cm when working around the tailgate to prevent unintended unlocking. Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use separate leathers for painted and glass surfaces: remnants of wax on the windows will impair vision. Do not use hard objects to remove spots of tar. Use tar removal spray on painted surfaces. Exterior lights Headlight and other light covers are made of plastic.
196 Vehicle care After the underbody is washed, check the underbody and have it waxed if necessary. Bitumen/rubber materials could damage the PVC coating. Have underbody work carried out by a workshop. Before and after winter, wash the underbody and have the protective wax coating checked. Towing equipment Do not clean the coupling ball bar with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet cleaner.
