Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must
match
the data on the defective fuse.
The vehicle has two fuse boxes: one
behind a cover on the left side of the
load compartment and one in the front
left of the engine compartment. Store spare fuses in the load
compartment fuse box version B.
Open the cover 3 171.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition. A blown fuse can be recognised by its
melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.

Vehicle care
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and
rear wheels.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel
size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be
necessary to reprogram the
speedometer and make other vehicle
modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced. 9
Warning Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval. Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If
the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a beaded edge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
Remove the wheel covers if tyre
chains are to be installed. 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.
Always
use fine mesh chains that add
no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain
lock). 9
Warning Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are not permitted on tyres
of size 225/40 R 18, 225/40 ZR 18
and 235/35 R 19.
