other floor coverings over the existing floor
mats; this would restrict the pedal area and
possibly obstruct the pedals, which could
cause an accident.
Stowing luggage safely
Luggage compartment
Fig. 179 Heavy items should be placed as far forwards as
possible.
All luggage and other objects must be safely se­
cured in the luggage compartment. To maintain
safe handling on the road, please observe the fol­
lowing points:
� Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
� Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly ¢Fig. 179.
� Secure the load with the luggage net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings*¢ page 202.
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicle as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward -risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart­
ment and secure them on the fastening Safe
driving
rings*. Use suitable securing straps, particu­
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity -this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicle
¢ page 257. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight limit can affect the ve­
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in­
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside. In this case the child would be un­
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the vehi­
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop­
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times
¢page 204.
CD CAUTION
Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
(D} Note
- Adjust the tyre pressure to match the vehi­
cle loading -the correct pressures are speci­
fied on the sticker on the end face of the
driver's door.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas­
tening rings* are commercially available.

and topping up fluids
Diesel can thicken at very low temperatures,
which can result in problems starting the engine
or prevent the engine from running smoothly. For
this reason, filling stations in some countries of­
fer winter-grade diesel fuel during the cold
months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth­
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
CD CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam­
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if you fill up with the
wrong type of fuel, as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro­
fessional assistance.
Filling the tank
Procedure for filling the tank
Fig. 204 Vehicle as seen from the rear right: Opening the
fuel tank flap

ca �
Press the tank flap -arrow- ¢ Fig. 204 to open
it. Your vehicle has a new self-sealing fuel tank
without a tank cap.
� Insert the filler nozzle into the fuel filler neck
as far as the stop ¢ Fig. 205 and ensure it is
properly engaged.
� Start refuelling. When the automatic filler noz­
zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is "full". Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.
� When the fuel filler pump switches itself off,
wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.
� Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it click
into place.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further
notes on fuel ¢page 217.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 258.
& WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri­
ous burns and other injuries.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and leak.
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis­
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames -risk of explosion!
- If,
in exceptional circumstances, you have to
carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicle. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va­
pour to ignite -risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister.

Em ission control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to vehicles with petrol engine: The vehi­
cle must only be used with unleaded petrol; oth­
erwise the catalytic converter will be irreparably
damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to vehicles with diesel engine: The die­
sel particulate filter can filter out almost all soot
particles contained in the exhaust gas. In normal
driving conditions the filter is self-cleaning.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter not
be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is con­
tinuously used only for short trips, the filter be-
220 comes
obstructed with soot and the symbol Cl
for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 15.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi­
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system (cata­
lytic converter or diesel particulate filter),
do not park the vehicle where the exhaust
can come into contact with flammable ma­
terials under the car (e.g. on grass or at the
forest edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any undersea[ agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!

CD CAUTION
- Have your qualified workshop check the
cooling system before the winter season to
make sure that the anti-freeze concentra­
tion is adequate for the conditions to be ex­
pected. This applies particularly if you drive
into a colder climate zone.
- To prevent damage to the engine, do not
use a different type of anti-freeze additive if
the approved type of additive is not availa­
ble. In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting
in the specified additive.
- Always top up with fresh, unused coolant.
- Radiator sealants must not be added to the
coolant.
Topping up coolant
Fig. 214 Engine compartment: Cap of coolant expansion
tank
Checking coolant level
.. Park
your vehicle on a level surface .
.. Switch off the ignition .
.. Read off the coolant level on the coolant expan­
sion tank ¢ page 222, Fig. 211. When the en­
gine is cold, the coolant level should be be­
tween the marks. When the engine is warm, it
may be slightly above the top mark. Checking
and topping up fluids
Topping up coolant
Impor tant: The coolant expansion tank must not
be empty ¢(D.
.. Wait for the engine to cool down.
.. Cover the cap on the expansion tank with a
cloth, and carefully unscrew the cap anti-clock­
wise ¢ .&_ .
.. Add coolant in the correct concentration
¢ page 224 up to the top mark.
.. You should make sure that the fluid level re-
mains stable. If necessary, add more coolant.
.. Screw the cap on again tightly.
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked. If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.
A WARNING
- The cooling system is under pressure. Do
not unscrew the cap on the expansion tank
when the engine is hot: you could be scal­
ded by escaping steam.
- The coolant and coolant additive can be a
health hazard. Store the coolant additive in
the original container in a safe place out of
reach of children -risk of poisoning.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off-risk of injury!
CD CAUTION
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. Air could have got into the cooling sys­
tem -risk of engine damage! In this case, do
NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance .
