Rinse the vehicle with clean water and dry
thoroughly with a chamois.
X Do not let the cleaning agent dry on the
paintwork.
When using the vehicle in winter, remove all
traces of road salt deposits carefully and as
soon as possible.
High-pressure cleaning equipment G
WARNING
The water jet of circular-jet nozzles (dirt grind- ers) can cause damage not visible from the
outside to tyres or chassis components. Com-
ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have dam- aged tyres or chassis components replaced
immediately.
! Always maintain a distance of at least
30 cm between the vehicle and the high-
pressure cleaner nozzle. Information about
the correct distance is available from the
equipment manufacturer.
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R tyres
R door gaps, roof gaps, joints etc.
R electrical components
R battery
R connectors
R lights
R seals
R trim elements
R ventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to leaks or failures.
! Edition 1 special model: parts of your
vehicle are covered with a decorative foil.
Maintain a distance of at least 70 cm
between the foil-wrapped parts of the vehi- cle and the nozzle of the high pressure
cleaner.
Information about the correct distance is
available from the equipment manufac-
turer.
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle.
Cleaning the paintwork !
Do not affix:
R stickers
R films
R magnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by corrosion and damage caused by inade-
quate care cannot always be completely
repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
X Remove impurities immediately, where
possible, whilst avoiding rubbing too hard.
X Soak insect remains with insect remover
and rinse off the treated areas afterwards.
X Soak bird droppings with water and rinse
off the treated areas afterwards.
X Remove coolant, brake fluid, tree resins,
oils, fuels and greases by rubbing gently
with a cloth soaked in petroleum ether or
lighter fluid.
X Use tar remover to remove tar stains.
X Use silicone remover to remove wax.
Care and treatment of matt paintwork !
Never polish the vehicle or the light alloy
wheels. Polishing makes the paintwork
shiny. 342
CareMaintenance and care

If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message is aligned to the reference values taught-in.
Restart the tyre pressure monitor after
adjusting to the cold tyre pressure
(Y page 378). The current pressures are
saved as new reference values. This will
ensure that a warning message will only
appear if the tyre pressure drops significantly.
The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe
the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 374).
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres.
The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indicat-
ing a pressure loss or malfunction. Depending on how the warning lamp flashes or lights up,
a tyre pressure that is too low or a malfunc-
tion in the tyre pressure monitor is indicated:
R if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the
tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-
nificantly too low. The tyre pressure moni-
tor is not malfunctioning.
R if the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the
tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a message
appears in the multifunction display. Observe
the information on display messages
(Y page 292).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunc-
tion of the tyre pressure monitor to be indi-
cated. A malfunction will be indicated by the
tyre pressure warning lamp flashing for
approximately one minute and then remain-
ing lit. When the fault has been rectified, the
tyre pressure warning lamp goes out after you
have driven for a few minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on- board computer may differ from those meas- ured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure
values indicated by a pressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board
computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre
pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head-
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.

the tyre pressure values to the individual
wheels is not possible, the Tyre pressure Tyre pressure

monitor active message is shown instead
of the tyre pressure display. The tyre pres-

If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, for a
few minutes the system may continue to
show the tyre pressure of the wheel that has been removed. If this occurs, note that the
value displayed for the position where the
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the
current tyre pressure of the emergency spare wheel. Tyre pressure

Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pres-
sure loss in one or more tyres, a warning mes-
sage is shown in the multifunction display.
The yellow tyre pressure warning lamp then
lights up.
R If the Please correct tyre pressure
Please correct tyre pressure
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in at least one tyre is too low. The tyre pressure must be correc-ted when the opportunity arises.
R If the Tyre pressure Check tyre(s)
Tyre pressure Check tyre(s)
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in one or more tyres has dropped significantly. The tyres must
be checked.
R If the Tyre pressure Caution Tyre

tifunction display, the tyre pressure in one
or more tyres has dropped suddenly. The
tyres must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page 292).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayed for the wrong positions for a short time. After
a few minutes of driving, this is rectified and
the tyre pressures are displayed for the cor-
rect positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tyre pressure. However,
you can also set reference values manually as described here. The tyre pressure monitor
then monitors the new tyre pressure values. X
Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 374).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in the
ignition lock (Y page 165).
