Caution

The lane departure warning system

may not operate properly when:

Use of fuel with a lower octane

rating than the lowest possible

rating could lead to uncontrolled

combustion and engine damage.

Use fuel with the recommended

octane rating. A lower octane rating

can reduce engine power and torque

The engine-specific requirements

regarding octane rating are given in

the engine data overview 3 224. A

country-specific label at the fuel filler

flap can supersede the requirement.

The system can not operate when no

lane marking is detected.

Caution

Do not use fuel or fuel additives

that contain metallic compounds

such as manganese-based

additives. This may cause engine

damage.

Fuel for diesel engines

Only use diesel fuel that complies

with EN 590.

In countries outside the European

Union use Euro-Diesel fuel with a

sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.

Driving and operating

Caution

The boiling point depends on the

pressure and the mixing ratio. At

ambient pressure, it is between

-42 °C (pure propane) and -0.5 °C

(pure butane).

Pressing LPG switches between

petrol and liquid gas operation as

soon as the required parameters

(coolant temperature, gas

temperature and minimum engine

speed) have been reached. The

requirements are usually fulfilled after

approx. 60 seconds (depending on

exterior temperature) and the first firm

press on the accelerator. The status

LED shows the current operating

mode.

Use of fuel that does not comply to

EN 590 or similar can lead to

engine powerloss, increased wear

or engine damage.

Caution

Do not use marine diesel oils, heating

oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-

water emulsions. Diesel fuels must

not be diluted with fuels for petrol

engines.

The system works at an ambient

temperature of approx. -8 °C to

100 °C.

Full functioning of the LPG system

can only be guaranteed with liquid

gas which complies with the minimum

requirements of DIN EN 589.

composition, it may take slightly

longer before the system switches

from petrol to gas mode.

If you smell gas in the vehicle or in

the immediate vicinity, switch to

petrol mode immediately. No

smoking. No naked flames or

ignition sources.

As soon as the liquid gas tanks are

empty, petrol operation is

automatically engaged until the

ignition is switched off.

In extreme situations, the system may

also switch back to petrol mode if the

minimum requirements are not

fulfilled. If conditions allow, it may be

possible to manually switch back to

liquid gas operation.

When switching automatically

between petrol or gas operation, a

brief delay of engine tractive power

may be noticeable.

If the gas odour persists, do not start

the engine. Have the cause of the

fault remedied by a workshop.

When using underground car parks,

follow the instructions of the operator

and local laws.

Seek the assistance of a workshop in

the event of all other faults.

Every six months, run the petrol tank

down until control indicator Y

illuminates, then refuel. This helps

maintain fuel quality and system

function for petrol operation.

Caution

Notice

In the event of an accident, switch off

the ignition and lights.

Repairs and adjustments may only

be made by trained specialists in

order to maintain the safety and

warranty on the LPG system.

Fill the tank completely at regular

intervals to prevent corrosion in the

tank.

Faults and remedies

If gas mode is not possible, check the

following:

Liquid gas is given a particular odour

(odorised) so that any leaks can be

detected easily.

●

Is there enough liquid gas

present?

●

Is there enough petrol present for

starting?

towing tips

Trailer towing

Trailer loads

General information

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate

the coupling ball. However, do not do

so if a stabiliser, which acts on the

coupling ball, is being used to reduce

snaking movements.

The permissible trailer loads are

vehicle and engine-dependent

maximum values which must not be

exceeded. The actual trailer load is

the difference between the actual

gross weight of the trailer and the

actual coupling socket load with the

trailer coupled.

The permissible trailer loads are

specified in the vehicle documents. In

general, they are valid for gradients

up to max. 12%.

The permitted trailer loads apply up to

the specified incline and up to an

altitude of 1000 metres above sea

level. Since engine power decreases

as altitude increases due to the air

becoming thinner, therefore reducing

climbing ability, the permissible gross

train weight also decreases by 10%

for every 1000 metres of additional

altitude. The gross train weight does

not have to be reduced when driving

on roads with slight inclines (less than

8%, e.g. motorways).

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.

For trailers with low driving stability

and caravan trailers with a permitted

gross vehicle weight of more than

1000 kg a speed of 50 mph must not

be exceeded; the use of a stabiliser is

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.

Adjust tyre pressure to the value

specified for full load 3 230.

The bulb outage detection function for

trailer brake light cannot detect a

partial bulb outage, e.g. in case of four

times five watt bulbs, the function only

detects lamp outage when only a

single five Watt lamp remains or none

remain.

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 when

not in use.
