Fig. 3 CD only works when the ignition is switched
on. In order to avoid possible damage to the en­
gine, please read the following notes for the dif­
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en­
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
In normal operation the LEDs will settle some­
where in the centre of the dis play once the en­
gine has reached operating temperature. The
LEDs may also extend further into the right-hand
range of the display when the engine is working

the red LEDs reach the right-hand part of the dis­
play and the warning lamp.
appears in the dis­
play, the coolant temperature is too high
¢page 12.
CD CAUTION
- Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef­
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper­
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri­
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assistance.
� Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.

with the 3rd step, or try holding the trans­
mitter nearer or further away from the radia­
tor grille.
9. If the garage door or other system still fails
to be activated using the buttons in the head­
liner after programming is completed, it is
possible that the system might be working
with a rolling code instead of the normal
fixed security code. If this is the case, a roll­
ing code programming is required in addi­
tion to the steps described above
¢page 36.
Follow the instructions above to program the
other two buttons in the headliner. Start with the
3rd step.
Erasing the button programming
Programmed buttons can only be erased all at
once; it is not possible to erase them individually.
Reprogram the buttons if necessary.
.. Switch on the ignition.
.. Press and hold down the two outer buttons in
the headliner until the yellow LED@ goes out
and the green LED@ lights up.
Reprogramming the buttons
.. Switch on the ignition.
.. To
reprogram an individual button, press and
hold the desired button until the LED@ begins
to flash rapidly (after about 20 seconds). Then
release the button immediately. The program­
ming mode is then activated for 5 minutes.
.. Continue with the 5th step.
@ Note
- The required distance between the hand­
held transmitter and the HomeLink module
inside the radiator grille¢ Fig. 34 depends
on the system you are programming.
- Wi th some types of systems, you may need
to briefly release the button during pro­
gramming and then press it again. When
programming a new device, keep the button
pressed for at least 15 seconds before try­
ing again with the transmitter in a different
position. Watch out for your vehicles's haz­
ard light signals during that time.
36 Rolling
code programming
Applies to vehicles: with garage door opener (Homelink)
Some devices require rolling code programming.
Identifying a rolling code
.. Press a programmed button in the headliner
again and hold it down.
.. Watch the LED@¢page 35, Fig. 33. If the
LED starts flashing rapidly, this indicates that
the system you wish to operate, such as a ga­
rage door, is equipped with a rolling code.
.. Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating a system's drive unit
.. Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's drive unit. The exact location and colour
of the button may vary depending on the type
of system.
.. Press the programming button on the system's
drive unit (this will normally cause an indicator
lamp on the unit to light up). You now have
about 30 seconds to start and complete the
programming process for the button in the
headliner.
Programming the button in the headliner
.. Press the previously programmed button in the
headliner for 2 seconds .
.. Press
the button for 2 seconds again to com­
plete rolling code programming.
.. For some systems, the button may have to be
pressed a third time to complete the program­
ming sequence
.
After programming, the system should recognise
the signal and respond when the button in the
headliner is pressed. Now the other control but­
tons can be programmed as required.
ijJ) Note
- Having a second person assist you makes
programming of the rolling code easier and
faster.
- If you encounter problems programming
the rolling code you may find helpful infor­
mation in the operating instructions of the
system you wish to operate.

WARNING
- Never run the engine in confined spaces.
The exhaust gases are toxic -risk of poison­
ing!
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary.
- The brake servo and the power steering sys­
tem work only when the engine is running.
You need more strength to steer and brake
the vehicle when the engine is switched off.
This would mean a greater risk of accidents
and serious injury, because you cannot steer
and brake in the normal manner.
Avoid high engine speeds, full throttle and ex­
treme load conditions until the engine has
reached its normal operating temperature;
otherwise this can damage the engine.
{:!)) Note
- When starting from cold the engine may be
a little noisy for the first few seconds until
oil pressure has built up in the hydraulic
tappets. This is quite normal and no cause
for concern.
- If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, it will be switched off auto­
matically after a while. Please note that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lighting will also be switched off.

A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary . Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and power
steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man­
ner.
-Always take the key with you when you leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.
CD CAUTION
If the engine has been working hard for a long
time, there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching it off.
(1'> Note
After the engine is stopped the radiator fan
may run on for up to 10 minutes, even if the
ignition is switched off. The fan may also start
running again after some time if the coolant
temperature rises due to a build-up of heat,

aids
General notes
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 93.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢ page 94. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 94, Fig. 101 is also monitored.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 95.
.&_ WARNING
- Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system -risk of accident!
- Sensors have blind spots in which neither
people nor objects are registered. It is par­
ticularly important to ensure that there are
no small children or animals near the vehi­
cle -risk of accident!
- Always keep a close watch on the area
around the vehicle and make full use of the
rear-view mirrors.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences Parking
aids
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
{D) Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
Rear parking aid
Description
Applies to vehicles: with rear parking aid
The rear parking aid is an acoustic parking sys­
tem.
Description
Sensors are located in the rear bumper. When the
sensors detect an obstacle, you are alerted by
acoustic signals (beeps).

Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator anti­
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
- 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!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.
- Never remove the engine cover panel -risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive
belts, alternator and radiator fan, etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Never
open the throttle inadvertently (for instance
by hand from the engine compartment) if a
gear is engaged while the vehicle is station­
ary with the engine running. The vehicle
could otherwise start moving immediately
and possibly cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Always disconnect the battery.
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
CD CAUTION
When topping up fluids make sure the correct
fluid is put into the correct filler opening. This
can otherwise cause serious malfunctions or
engine damage. Checking
and topping up fluids
® For the sake of the environment
Inspect the ground underneath your vehicle
regularly so that any leaks are detected at an
early stage. If you find spots of oil or other
fluids, have your vehicle inspected in the
workshop.
{D) Note
On right-hand drive vehicles* some of the
containers/ reservoirs mentioned below are
located on the other side of the engine com­
partment.

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 .
