3. Move out of the flow of traffic as quickly as possible without
impeding other vehicles.
4. Switch off ignition.
9 Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove key until vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steeringwheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Check oil level before seeking the
assistance of a workshop 3 154.

indicator C illuminates to indicate
that engine oil life has been
diminished and the oil needs
changing.

If the lever is moved past the
resistance point, the turn signal is
switched on constantly.
When the steering wheel is turned
back, the turn signal is automatically
deactivated. This will not happen
when making a minor steering
manoeuvre such as lane changing.
For three flashes, e.g. when changing
lanes, press the lever until resistance is felt and then release. Move the
lever to the resistance point and hold
for longer indication.
The volume of the turn signal audible
warning is dependent upon vehicle
speed.
Switch the turn signal off manually by moving the lever to its original
position.

Accessories and vehicle
modifications
We recommend the use of genuine parts and accessories and factory
approved parts specific for your
vehicle type. We cannot assess or
guarantee reliability of other products
- even if they have a regulatory or
otherwise granted approval.
Do not make any modifications to the electrical system, e.g. changes of
electronic control units (chip tuning).Caution
When transporting the vehicle on
a train or on a recovery vehicle, the
mud flaps might be damaged.
Vehicle storage
Storage for a long period of time
If the vehicle is to be stored for several months:
■ Wash and wax the vehicle.
■ Have the wax in the engine compartment and underbody
checked.
■ Clean and preserve the rubber seals.
■ Change the engine oil.
■ Drain the washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check the coolant antifreeze and corrosion protection.
■ Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.
■ Park the vehicle in a dry, well ventilated place. Engage first orreverse gear or move selector lever
to P. Prevent the vehicle from
rolling.
■ Do not apply the electrical parking brake.
180Vehicle care
For example, the following messagescan be displayed:
A graphic indicating the left rear tyre
is shown together with the current tyre
pressure; slight pressure deviation.
Reduce speed. Check tyre pressure
at next opportunity with an
appropriate gauge and correct if
necessary.
On the Colour-Info-Display, this
message will appear in yellow.
A graphic indicating the front left tyre is shown together with the current tyre
pressure; significant pressure
deviation or direct pressure loss.
Steer out of the flow of traffic as
quickly as possible without
endangering other vehicles. Stop and check the tyres. Mount the spare
wheel if necessary 3 186.
On the Colour-Info-Display, this
message will appear in red.
Acknowledgement of warnings 3 92,
3 95.
Vehicle messages 3 100.
If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or
increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre
pressures 3 178, 3 210.
Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase.
The tyre pressure value shown in the Info-Display is the actual tyre
pressure. Therefore it is important to
check tyre pressure with cold tyres.
General information
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 183.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
valve cores and sealing rings must be
replaced each time the tyres are
changed.
