Driving and operating131
ActivationWhen reverse gear is engaged, the
system switches itself on
automatically. Readiness for
operation is indicated by a brief
acoustic signal.
An obstacle is indicated by buzzers
and, depending on vehicle, is also
indicated in the Info-Display. The
interval between the buzzers
becomes shorter as the vehicle gets
closer to the obstacle. When the
distance is less than 30 cm, the buzzer is continuous.
Note
In versions with Info-Display
indication, the volume of the buzzer
can be adjusted via the Infotainment
system. Refer to Infotainment
system manual for further
information.9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Deactivation
Deactivate the system by pressing
the r button on the instrument
panel with the ignition on. LED
illuminates in the button when
deactivated. When reverse gear is
selected, no acoustic signal will
sound.

indication, the function can be
deactivated via the Infotainment
system. Refer to Infotainment
system manual for further
information.
The function is reactivated by
pressing button r again or the next
time the ignition is switched on.
Fault If the system detects an operating
fault, when selecting reverse gear a
continuous acoustic alarm will sound
for approx. 5 seconds, a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre 3 90
and F illuminates in the instrument
cluster 3 86. Consult a workshop to
have the cause of the fault remedied.

132Driving and operatingCaution
When reversing, the area should
be free from obstacles which could impact on the underside of the
vehicle.
Impact to the rear axle, which may
not be visible, could lead to
uncharacteristic changes in the
vehicle handling. In the event of
such an impact, consult a
workshop.
Vehicle messages 3 91.
Rear view camera The rear view camera assists the
driver when reversing by displaying a view of the area behind the vehicle in
the interior mirror or in the Info-
Display.
9 Warning
The rear view camera does not
replace driver vision. Note that
objects that are outside the
camera's field of view, e.g. below
the bumper or underneath the
vehicle, are not displayed.
Do not reverse the vehicle by only looking at the display and checkthe surrounding area behind and
around the vehicle before
reversing.
Activation
Rear view camera is automatically
activated when reverse gear is
engaged.
Functionality
The camera is mounted above the
rear doors/tailgate.
The area displayed by the camera is
limited. The distance of the image that
appears on the display differs from
the actual distance.

Driving and operating133
Trajectory lane display (1)
Depending on version, the trajectory
lane (1) of the vehicle is shown in blue
on the Info-Display. It shows the path of the vehicle in accordance with the
steering angle.
Fixed lane display (2)
The fixed lane display (2) shows the
path of the vehicle if the wheels are
kept straight.
Guiding lines (A, B, C) are used together with the fixed lane
display (2) and indicate the distance
behind the vehicle.
The guiding line intervals are as
follows:A (red)=30 cmB (yellow)=70 cmC (green)=150 cm

shining directly into the camera
lens,
■ ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the camera lens. Clean the
lens, rinse it with water, and wipe it
with a soft cloth,
■ the rear doors/tailgate are not closed correctly,
■ the vehicle had a rear end accident,
■ there are extreme temperature changes.

134Driving and operatingFuel
Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590. The fuel must have low
sulphur content (max. 10 ppm).
Equivalent standardised fuels with a
biodiesel (= FAME according to
EN14214) content of max. 7% by
volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent
standards) may be used.
In countries outside the European
Union, use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to
engine powerloss, increased wear
or engine damage and loss of
warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions. Diesel fuels must
not be diluted with fuels for petrol
engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuels are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 146, diesel fuel
system bleeding 3 146.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers.
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Note
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
5 litres) to ensure accurate readings.
The fuel filler flap is located on the left-
hand side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the left-
hand door is opened.
Pull flap to open.

Vehicle care141
When the engine oil level has
dropped to the MIN mark, top-up
engine oil.Caution
Do not allow the engine oil level to drop below the minimum level!
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel. Ensure funnel is securely located onto the
filler pipe.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until
the vehicle has been driven several
thousand kilometres. Only then can
the actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.5 litres every 1000 km after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.
Capacities 3 191.
Fit the cap on straight and tighten it.
Engine air filter
Engine air flow indicator
On certain models, an indicator is
located in the engine induction
system and indicates if the air-intake
to the engine is restricted.
Clear=No restrictionRed tell-tale=Restricted
If the red tell-tale is displayed when
the engine is running, consult a
workshop.

158Vehicle care
Tyre pressures 3 192. Always inflate
tyres to the pressures shown on the
label on the driver's door frame.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 182.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 192.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check tyre
pressure levels.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Note
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Tyre pressures in display The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Driver Information
Centre 3 90.

Vehicle care159
With the vehicle stationary, press
button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the tyre pressure
menu is displayed.
Low tyre pressure condition
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by illumination
of control indicator w 3 88 and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 192.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the Driver Information
Centre. During this time w may
illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for getting low pressure. Check tyre pressure.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w flashes for
several seconds then illuminates continuously together with control
indicator A 3 86 and a
corresponding message appears in
the Driver Information Centre.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. TPMS is not operational for these wheels. For the further three
wheels, TPMS remains operational.
Control indicator w and the
corresponding message appears at
each ignition cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct tyre pressure.
