Problems with the 115 V power socket
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions The warning lamp on
the 115 V power socket
is not lit. The on-board voltage is too low because the battery is too weak.
X Start the engine.
or
X Charge the battery (Y page 430).
If the indicator lamp still does not light up:
X Visit a qualified specialist workshop. The temperature of the DC/AC converter is temporarily too high.
X Remove the electronic device connector from the 115 V socket.
X Let the DC/AC converter cool down.
If the indicator lamp still does not light up after cooling down the
converter: X Visit a qualified specialist workshop. You have connected an electronic device that has a constant
nominal power of less than 150 watts, but has a very high switch-
on current. This device will not work. If you connect such a device, the 115 V power socket will not supply it with power.
X Connect a suitable electronic device. Coolbox in the rear compartment
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If you cover the ventilation grille for the cool-
box, it may overheat. There is a risk of fire.
Always make sure that the ventilation grille is not covered.
The ventilation grille for the coolbox is in the
trunk.
The coolbox can bear a maximum load of
7.7 lb (3.5 kg).
If you want to store a bottle in the upper com-
partment of the coolbox, the capacity of the
bottle must not exceed 17 fl. oz. (0.5 l).
Store only plastic bottles in the upper com-
partment of the coolbox. Using the coolbox

FeaturesStowage and features

Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact
with the road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits
securely on the wheel. There are several steel
wires in the bead to prevent the tire from
coming loose from the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.
Weight of optional extras
The combined weight of those optional extras that weigh more than the replaced standard
parts and more than 5 lbs (2.3 kg). These
optional extras, such as high-performance
brakes, level control, a roof rack or a high-
performance battery, are not included in the
curb weight and the weight of the accesso-
ries.
TIN (Tire Identification Number)
This is a unique identifier which can be used
by a tire manufacturer to identify tires, for
example for a product recall, and thus identifythe purchasers. The TIN is made up of the
manufacturer's identity code, tire size, tire
type code and the manufacturing date.
Load bearing index
The load bearing index (also load index) is a
code that contains the maximum load bearing capacity of a tire.
Traction
Traction is the result of friction between the
tires and the road surface.
Treadwear indicators
Narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are dis-
tributed over the tire tread. If the tire tread is level with the bars, the wear limit of áin
(1.6 mm) has been reached. Occupant distribution
The distribution of occupants in a vehicle at
their designated seating positions.
Total load limit
Nominal load and luggage load plus 68 kg
(150 lbs) multiplied by the number of seats in
the vehicle. Changing a wheel
Flat tire
The "Breakdown assistance" section
(Y page 423 )contains information and notes
on how to deal with a flat tire. Information on
driving with MOExtended tires in the event of
a flat tire can be found under "MOExtended
tires (tires with run-flat characteristics"
(Y page 423). Rotating the wheels
G
WARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tires have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components
may also be damaged. There is a risk of acci-
dent.
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tires are of the same dimensions.
! On vehicles equipped with a tire pressure
monitor, electronic components are loca-
ted in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used
near the valve. This could damage the elec- tronic components.
Only have tires changed at a qualified spe-cialist workshop.
Always observe the instructions and safety
notes in the "Mounting a wheel" section
(Y page 466).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions. Changing a wheel
