Replacing the vehicle battery

Notice

Any deviation from the instructions

given in this section may lead to

temporary deactivation of the stop-

start system.

Batteries do not belong in household

waste. They must be disposed of at

an appropriate recycling collection

point.

Laying up the vehicle for more than

four weeks can lead to battery

discharge. Disconnect the clamp from

the negative terminal of the vehicle

battery.

Ensure the ignition is switched off

before connecting or disconnecting

the vehicle battery.

The anti-theft alarm siren must be

deactivated as follows: Switch the

ignition on then off, disconnect the

vehicle's battery within 15 seconds.

When the vehicle battery is being

replaced, please ensure that there

are no open ventilation holes in the

vicinity of the positive terminal. If a

ventilation hole is open in this area, it

must be closed off with a dummy cap,

and the ventilation in the vicinity of the

negative terminal must be opened.

Only use vehicle batteries that allow

the fuse box to be mounted above the

vehicle battery.

In vehicles with an AGM (Absorptive

Glass Mat) battery, make sure to

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 230.

In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of your vehicle.

The maximum speed is achievable at

kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus

125 kg payload. Optional equipment

could reduce the maximum speed of

the vehicle.

Tyre pressure 3 230.

Performance 3 226.

196

Vehicle care

The tyre pressure information label

on the left or right door frame

indicates the original equipment tyres

and the correspondent tyre

pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

For the tyres approved for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

The pressure increases by nearly

1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.

The tyre pressure value displayed in

the Driver Information Centre shows

the real tyre pressure. A cooled down

tyre will show a decreased value,

which does not indicate an air leak.

9 Warning

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

9 Warning

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Tyre pressure monitoring

system

1. Identify the engine identifier code.

The tyre pressure monitoring system

checks the pressure of all four tyres

once a minute when vehicle speed

exceeds a certain limit.

Engine data 3 224.

2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations 3 230.

Vehicle care

After inflating, some driving may be

required to update the tyre pressure

values in the Driver Information

Centre. During this time w may

illuminate.

If w illuminates at lower temperatures

and extinguishes after driving, this

could be an indicator for approaching

a low tyre pressure condition. Check

tyre pressure.

The use of commercially-available

liquid tyre repair kits can impair the

function of the system. Factory-

approved repair kits can be used.

Operating electronic devices or being

close to facilities using similar wave

frequencies could disrupt the tyre

pressure monitoring system.

Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre

pressure monitoring system sensors

must be dismounted and serviced.

For the screwed sensor, replace

The following applies to tyres fitted

opposing the rolling direction:

●

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 mm²for

diesel engines).

Jump starting

Do not start with a quick charger.

A vehicle with a discharged battery

can be started using jump leads and

the battery of another vehicle.

●

Driveability may be affected.

Towing

Towing the vehicle

Never tow a vehicle equipped with

All Wheel Drive (AWD) with the

front or rear tyres on the road. If

you tow a vehicle equipped with

AWD while the front or rear tyres

are rolling on the road, the drive

system in the vehicle could be

severely damaged. When towing

vehicles equipped with AWD, all

four tyres must not be in contact

with the road.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will

go until it stops in a horizontal

position.

Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow

rod – to the towing eye.

The towing eye must only be used for

towing and not for recovering the

vehicle.

Caution

Disengage cap by using a

screwdriver and remove.

The towing eye is stowed with the

vehicle tools 3 194.

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.

To prevent the entry of exhaust gases

from the towing vehicle, switch on the

air recirculation system 3 126 and

close the windows.

Switch on ignition to release steering

wheel lock and to permit operation of

brake lights, horn and windscreen

wiper.

Transmission in neutral.

212

Vehicle care

Vehicles with manual transmission:

The vehicle must be towed facing

forwards. The maximum speed is

50 mph. In all other cases, and when

the transmission is defective, the front

axle must be raised off the ground.

Towing another vehicle

Vehicles with automatic transmission:

Do not tow the vehicle using a towing

eye. Towing with a tow rope could

cause severe automatic transmission

damage. When towing vehicles with

automatic transmission, use flat bed

or wheel lift equipment.

Seek the assistance of a workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.

Insert cap and close cap.

Screw in the towing eye as far as it will

go until it stops in a horizontal

position.

The lashing eye at the rear

underneath the vehicle must never be

used as a towing eye.

Disengage the cap by using a

screwdriver and remove.

The towing eye is stowed with the

vehicle tools 3 194.

Attach a tow rope – or even better a

tow bar – to the towing eye.

The towing eye must only be used for

towing and not for recovering a

vehicle.

Vehicle care

213

If using a vehicle wash, comply with

the vehicle wash manufacturer's

instructions. The windscreen wiper

and rear window wiper must be

switched off. Remove antenna and

external accessories such as roof

racks etc.

If you wash your vehicle by hand,

make sure that the insides of the

wheel housings are also thoroughly

rinsed out.

Appearance care

Exterior care

Caution

Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.

Excessive tractive force can

damage the vehicle.

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory

using a high quality lock cylinder

grease. Use de-icing agent only when

absolutely necessary, as this has a

degreasing effect and impairs lock

function. After using a de-icing agent,

have the locks regreased by a

workshop.

After towing, unscrew the towing eye.

Insert cap at the bottom and engage

cap.

Clean edges and folds on opened

doors and the bonnet as well as the

areas they cover.

Washing

Caution

The paintwork of your vehicle is

exposed to environmental influences.

Wash and wax your vehicle regularly.

When using automatic vehicle

washes, select a programme that

includes waxing.

Always use a cleaning agent with

a pH value of 4 to 9.

Do not use cleaning agents on hot

surfaces.

Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,

pollen and the like should be cleaned

off immediately, as they contain

aggressive constituents which can

cause paint damage.

Have the door hinges of all doors

greased by a workshop.

Do not clean the engine compartment

with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

214

Vehicle care

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.

Windows and windscreen wiper

blades

Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois

leather together with window cleaner

and insect remover.

When cleaning the rear window from

inside, always wipe in parallel to the

heating element to prevent damage.

For mechanical removal of ice, use a

sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the

scraper firmly against the glass so

that no dirt can get under it and

scratch the glass.

Wheels and tyres

Do not use high-pressure jet

cleaners.

Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel

cleaner.

Exterior lights

Rims are painted and can be treated

with the same agents as the body.

Headlight and other light covers are

made of plastic. Do not use any

abrasive or caustic agents, do not use

an ice scraper, and do not clean them

dry.

Paintwork damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with

a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust

areas repaired by a workshop.

Polishing and waxing

Wax the vehicle regularly (at the

latest when water no longer beads).

Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.

Polishing is necessary only if the paint

has become dull or if solid deposits

have become attached to it.

Paintwork polish with silicone forms a

protective film, making waxing

unnecessary.

Clean smearing wiper blades with a

soft cloth and window cleaner.

Underbody

Remove dirt residues from smearing

wiper blades by using a soft cloth and

window cleaner. Also make sure to

remove any residues such as wax,

insect residues and similar from the

window.

Ice residues, pollution and continuous

wiping on dry windows will damage or

even destroy the wiper blades.

Some areas of the vehicle underbody

have a PVC undercoating while other

critical areas have a durable

protective wax coating.

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.

Plastic body parts must not be treated

with wax or polishing agents.

Vehicle care

215

Before and after winter, wash the

underbody and have the protective

wax coating checked.

Operate the rear carrier system

periodically if not in regular use, in

particular during winter.

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.

Clean the leather upholstery with

clear water and a soft cloth. In case of

heavy soiling, use leather care.

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.

The same applies to clothing with

sharp-edged objects, e.g. zips,

belts or studded jeans.

9 Danger

can collect in sink points.

Take care when performing work

at the underbody in a pit.

Plastic and rubber parts

For painting work and when using a

drying booth at a temperature above

60 °C, the liquid gas system must be

completely evacuated.

Do not make any modifications to the

liquid gas system.

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.

The instrument cluster and the

displays should only be cleaned using

a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a

weak soap solution.
