The transmitter and the battery are housed in the housing of the remote con-
trol. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
When the battery is fully charged, the range of the remote control is a few
hundred metres. Obstacles between the remote control and the vehicle, bad
weather conditions and a weaker battery in the remote control can clearly re-
duce the range.
To switch the auxiliary heating (aux. heating) on or off, hold the remote control
vertical, with the aerial
A
pointing upwards. The antenna must not be covered
with the fingers or the palm of the hand during this process.
The auxiliary heating can only be switched on/off safely using the radio re-
mote control, if the distance between the radio remote control and the vehicle
is at least 2 m.
After pressing the button, the warning light in the remote control gives the
user different kinds of feedback:

Music playback via Bluetooth ®
The universal telephone preinstallation makes it possible to play back music
via Bluetooth ®
from devices such as MP3 players, mobile phones or notebooks.
To ensure that music can be played via Bluetooth ®
, you must first pair the de-
vice with the hands-free system in the Phone - Bluetooth - Media player
menu.
The music playback process is performed on the connected device.
The universal telephone preinstallation GSM II ensures that the music played
back via the hands-free system can be controlled with the remote con-
trol » page 130 , Voice commands - GSM II .
Note
The device being connected must support the Bluetooth ®
A2DP profile; refer

AUX- and MDIinputs
The AUX and MDI inputs are used to connect external audio sources (e.g. iPod
or mp3 player) and to play back music from these devices via the factory-fitted
radio or navigation system.
The AUX input for external audio sources is located below the armrest of the
front seats and is marked with the symbol. 1)
.
The MDI input is located in the storage compartment below the front armrest.
For a description of use, refer to the relevant operating instructions for the ra-

RefuellingFig. 159
Open fuel filler flap / tank cap
Read and observe
and on page 179 first.
Before refuelling, switch off the auxiliary heating system (auxiliary heating and ventilation) » page 117.
›
Unlock the vehicle.
›
Press on the fuel filler flap in the direction of the arrow » Fig. 159 -
.
›
Unscrew the filler cap by turning it in a counter clockwise direction and place
the cap onto the top of the fuel filler flap » Fig. 159 -
.
›
Insert the pump nozzle into the fuel filler tube as far as it will go.
The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time »
.
›
Remove the pump nozzle from the fuel filler tube and put it back in the
pump.
›
Insert the filler cap onto the fuel filler neck and screw it in a clockwise direc-
tion until it clicks into place.
›
Close the fuel filler flap until it clicks into place.
Check that the fuel filler flap is closed properly.
CAUTION
The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Do not continue filling
the fuel tank otherwise the expansion volume is filled up.NoteThe fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres, including a reserve of approx.
10.5 litres .
Unleaded petrol
Read and observe
and on page 179 first.
The vehicle can only be operated with unleaded petrol that meets the EN 2281)
standard.
All petrol engines can be operated using petrol that contains at most 10% bio-
ethanol (E10).
Required fuel - unleaded petrol 95/91 or 92 or 93 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON. Unleaded petrol with the
octane ratings 91, 92 or 93 RON can also be used, but may result in a slight
loss in performance.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded petrol min. 95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 95 RON or higher.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane ratings 91, 92
or 93 RON, if petrol with the octane rating 95 RON is not available »
.
Prescribed fuel - unleaded fuel 98/95 RON
Use unleaded fuel with the octane rating 98 RON or higher. Unleaded petrol
95 RON can also be used but results in a slight loss in performance.
In case of necessity, you can refuel with petrol with the octane ratings 91, 92
or 93 RON, if unleaded fuel with octane rating 98 RON or 95 RON is not availa-
ble »
.
Fuel additives
Unleaded petrol in accordance with the EN 228 standard 1)
meets all the condi-
tions for a smooth-running engine. We therefore recommend that no fuel ad-
ditives are used. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
or the exhaust system.
1)
In Germany also DIN 51626-1 or E10 for unleaded petrol with octane number 91 or 95 or DIN 51626-2 or E5
for unleaded petrol with octane number 95 and 98.

Mark for the lowest permissible coolant level.
ABThe coolant level should be kept between the marks A and B.
If the coolant level is above the mark A,
no coolant may be topped up.
If the coolant level is below the mark
B,
the coolant must be topped up.
Checking the level
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Open the bonnet.
›
Check the level of coolant in the coolant expansion bottle. » Fig. 164.
Check the coolant level only when the engine is cold.
If the engine is warm, the test result may be inaccurate. The level can also be
above the mark
A
» Fig. 164 .
If the coolant level in the coolant expansion tank is too low, this is indicated by
the warning light lighting up in the instrument cluster
» page 34,
Coolant
.
We still recommend inspecting the coolant level directly at the reservoir from
time to time.
Loss of coolant
A loss of coolant is first and foremost an indication of a leak in the system. Do
not merely top up the coolant. Have the cooling system checked by a specialist
garage.
Replenishing
Read and observe
and on page 187 first.
Only top up with new coolant.
›
Switch off the engine.
›
Allow the engine to cool.
›
Place a cloth over the cap of the coolant expansion tank and unscrew the
cap carefully .
›
Replenish the coolant.
›
Turn the cap until it clicks into place.
Do not use an alternative additive if the specified coolant is not available in an
emergency. In this case, use just water and have the correct mixing ratio of
water and coolant additive restored by a specialist garage as soon as possible.
1)
The coolant capacity is approximately 1 l greater on vehicles that are fitted with an auxiliary heater (aux-
iliary heating and ventilation).

Rear towing eyeFig. 186
Removing the cap / installing the towing eye
Read and observe
on page 209 first.
›
Press onto the bottom part of the cap in the rear bumper » Fig. 186 -
and
remove it.
›
Screw in the towing eye by turning to the left up to the stop » Fig. 186 -
and tighten as much as possible. For tightening purposes, we recommend,
for example, using the wheel wrench, towing eye from another vehicle or a
similar object that can be pushed through the eye.
›
After unscrewing the towing eye, put the cap on and press into place. The
cap must engage firmly.
On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the
screw-in towing eye behind the cap » page 210, Vehicles with a tow hitch .
CAUTION
The towing eye must always be screwed in fully and firmly tightened, other-
wise the towing eye can tear when towing in or tow-starting.
Vehicles with a tow hitch
Read and observe
on page 209 first.
On vehicles with a factory-fitted towing device, there is no mount for the
screw-in towing eye behind the cap.
Use the built-in detachable ball rod for towing » page 163, Towing device .
Towing the vehicle using the towing device is a viable alternative solution to
using the towing eye.
If the towing device is removed completely, it must be replaced with the
standard reinforcement of the rear bumper which is part of the mount for the
towing eye.
If this procedure is not observed, the vehicle may not meet the national legal
provisions.
CAUTION
The detachable ball rod and/or the vehicle can be damaged if an unsuitable
tow bar is used.
Note
The detachable ball rod must always be in the vehicle so that it can be used for
towing, if necessary.

CAUTION■“Never repair” fuses or replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage – risk
of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.■
If a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time, have the electrical
system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage.
■
A blown fuses is recognisable by the molten metal strip. Replace the faulty
fuse with a new one of the same amperage.
Note
