Intelligent technology
200Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)*
ESP reduces the danger of skidding by braking the wheels individually.
The system uses the steering wheel angle and road speed to calculate the 
changes of direction desired by the driver, and constantly compares them 
with the actual behaviour of the vehicle. If the desired course is not being 
maintained (for instance, if the vehicle is starting to skid), then the ESP 
compensates automatically by braking the appropriate wheel.
The forces acting on the braked wheel bring the vehicle back to a stable 
condition. If the vehicle tends to oversteer, the system will act on the front 
wheel on the outside of the turn.
Steering manoeuvre recommendations
This is a complementary safety function included in the ESP This function aids 
the driver to better stabilize the vehicle in a critical situation. For example, in 
case of sudden braking surface with varied adherence, the vehicle will tend 
to destabilise its trajectory to the right or to the left. In this case the ESP 
recognizes the situation and helps the driver with a counter steering 
manoeuvre from the power steering.
This function simply provides the driver with a recommended manoeuvre in 
critical situations.
The vehicle does not steer itself with this function, the driver has full control 
of the vehicle at all times.
WARNING
•It must be remembered that ESP cannot defy the laws of physics. This 
should be kept in mind, particularly  on slippery and wet roads and when 
towing a trailer.•Always adapt your driving style to suit the condition of the roads and 
the traffic situation. Do not let the extra safety afforded by ESP tempt you 
into taking any risks when driving, as this can cause accidents.
Caution
•In order to ensure that ESP functions correctly, all four wheels must be 
fitted with the same tyres. Any differences in the rolling radius of the tyres can 
cause the system to reduce engine power when this is not desired.•Modifications to the vehicle (e.g. to the engine, the brake system, running 
gear or any components affecting the wheels and tyres) could affect the effi-
ciency of the ABS, EDL, ESP and TCS.Anti-lock brake system (ABS)The anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels locking during braking 
⇒ page 198.Electronic differential lock (EDL)*
The electronic differential lock  helps prevent the loss of trac-
tion caused if one of the driven wheels starts spinning.EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accelerate and climb a gradient in slip-
pery conditions where this may otherwise be difficult or even impossible.
The system will control the revolutions of the drive wheels using the ABS 
sensors (in case of an EDL fault the warning lamp for ABS lights up) 
⇒ page 84.
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h, it is able to balance out differ-
ences in the speed of the driven wheels of approximately 100 rpm caused by 
a slippery road surface on one side  of the vehicle. It does this by braking the 
wheel which has lost traction and distributing more driving force to the other 
driven wheel via the differential.

•When the engine is warm or hot, the cooling system is pressurised! Do 
not unscrew the cap on the expansion tank  when the engine is hot. This is 
a burn injury risk.Caution
•When mixed with other additives the colour of G12 will change to brown. 
If this occurs you should have the coolant changed immediately. Failure to do 
so will result in engine damage!•If a lot of coolant fluid has been lost, wait for the engine to  cool down 
before putting in cold coolant. This avoids damaging the engine. Large 
coolant losses are an indication of leaks in the cooling system. See a special-
ised workshop immediately and have the cooling system checked. Other-
wise, there is a risk of engine damage.
Washer fluid and windscreen wiper bladesTopping up washer fluid 
 Y
The water for cleaning the windscreen should always be 
mixed with washer fluid.The  windscreen washer  and the headlight washers  are supplied with fluid 
from the windscreen washer fluid container in the engine compartment.
The reservoir is located on the right-hand side of the engine compartment.
Plain water is not enough to clean the windscreen and headlights. We recom-
mend that you always add a product to the windscreen washer fluid. 
Approved windscreen cleaning products exist on the market with high deter-
gent and anti-freeze properties, these may be added all-year-round. Please 
follow the dilution instructions on the packaging.

Note
•Seek professional assistance if the repair of a tyre puncture is not 
possible with the sealing compound.Wheel changePreparation work
What you must do before changing a wheel.– If you have a flat tyre or puncture, park the vehicle as far away  from the flow of traffic as possible. Choose a location that is as 
level as possible.
– All passengers should leave the vehicle. They should wait in a  safe area (for instance behind the roadside crash barrier).
– Switch off the engine. Switch on the hazard warning lights.
–Apply the handbrake  firmly.
– Engage the  first gear, or put the selector lever to position P  for 
those vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
– If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from your vehicle.
– Take the vehicle tools  and the spare wheel  out of the luggage 
compartment.
WARNING
Put the hazard warning lights on and place the warning triangle in position. 
This is for your own safety and also warns other road users.
Caution
If you have to change the tyre on a gradient, block the wheel opposite the 
wheel being changed by placing a stone or similar object under it to prevent 
the vehicle from rolling away.
Note
Please observe legal requirements when doing so.Changing a wheelChange the wheel as described below
– Remove the  wheel cover. Also refer to  ⇒page 260, fig. 175
– Slacken the wheel bolts .
– Raise  the vehicle with the jack at the corresponding area

Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle and take care to avoid jerking the 
tow-rope. When towing on an unpaved road, there is always a risk of over-
loading and damaging the anchorage points.
The ignition of the vehicle being towed must be switched on to prevent the 
steering wheel from locking and also to allow the use of the turn signals, 
horn, windscreen wipers and washers.
As the brake servo does not work if the engine is not running, you must apply 
considerably more pressure to the brake pedal than you normally would.
As the power assisted steering does not work if the engine is not running, you 
will need more strength to steer than you normally would.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
•Put the selector lever into position “N”.•Do not drive faster than 50 km/h.•Do not tow further than 50 km.•If a breakdown vehicle is used, the vehicle must be towed with the front 
wheels raised.Note
•Observe legal requirements when towing or tow-starting.•Switch on the hazard warning lights of both vehicles. However, observe 
any regulations to the contrary.•For technical reasons, vehicles with an automatic gearbox must not be 
tow-started.•If damage to your vehicle means that there is no lubricant in the gearbox, 
you must raise the drive wheels while the vehicle is being towed.•If the vehicle has to be towed more than 50 km, the front wheels should 
be raised during towing, and towing should be carried out by a qualified 
person.
•The steering wheel is locked when the vehicle has no electrical power. The 
vehicle must then be towed with the front wheels raised. Towing should be 
carried out by a qualified person.•The towing eye should always be kept in the vehicle. Please refer to the 
notes on  ⇒page 284, “Tow-starting”.
