AUX-IN* and MDI* inputs5
Recommended settings for the Climatic control elements:AUX-IN* and MDI* inputsThe MDI input is located underneath the arm rest of the front passenger seat.Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you ca n refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead to serious engine damage! Refuel with pe
trol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!
RefuellingThe air relief valve in the filler tube of the fuel tank is not part of the equipment installed
in the vehicle.

Tow-starting and towing vehicle
8
– Drive the vehicle approx. 10 metres forw ards or backwards to allow the sealing
agent to distribute in the tyre.
– Screw the tyre inflation hose of the air compressor firmly back onto the tyre
valve and repeat the inflation procedure.
– If you cannot reach the required tyre inflation pressure here either, this means the tyre has sustained too much damage. You cannot seal with tyre with the break-
down kit .
– Switch off the air compressor with the ON and OFF switch.
– Remove the tyre inflation hose from the tyre valve.
After reaching a tyre inflation pressure of 2.0 – 2.5 bar, resume driving at a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
Check the tyre inflation pressure after driving 10 minutes page 8, “Check after
driving for 10 minutes”.
WARNING
•
During inflation, the tyre inflation hose and air compressor may get hot-
risk of injury!
•
Do not place hot tyre inflation hoses or hot air compressors on flammable
materials - risk of fire!
•
If you cannot inflate the tyre to at least 2.0 bar, this means the damage
sustained was too serious. The sealing agent cannot be used to seal the tyre. Do
not drive the vehicle. Get professional assistance.Caution
Switch off the air compressor after running 8 minutes at the latest - danger of over-
heating! Allow the air compressor to cool a few moments before switching it on
again.Check after driving for 10 minutesCheck the tyre inflation pressu re after driving 10 minutes.
If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or less:–Do not drive the vehicle! You cannot properly seal with tyre with the breakdown
kit.
– Obtain professional assistance.If the tyre inflation pressure is 1.3 bar or more:– Adjust the tyre inflation pressure to the correct value (see inside of fuel filler cap).
– Continue driving carefully to the nearest specialist garage at a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph). Tow-starting and towing vehicleGeneral
Caution
Do not push or two the vehicle to start the engine - likely engine damage! In vehicles
with catalytic converters, fuel may get into the catalytic converter where it may ignite.
This results in the catalytic converter overheating and being destroyed. To help start
the engine, you can use a battery from another vehicle, see Owner's manual.Electric fusesFuse assignment in engine compartment - version 1
