18In briefParking9Warning
■ Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply parking brake without pressing release button.Apply as firmly as possible on a
downhill slope or uphill slope.
Depress foot brake at the same
time to reduce operating force.
■ Switch off the engine. Turn the ignition key to position STOP
and remove it. Turn the steering
wheel until the steering wheel
lock is felt to engage.
■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear before switching off the ignition. On an uphill slope, turn
the front wheels away from the
kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear
before switching off the ignition. Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
■ Close the windows.
■ Lock the vehicle with button e on
the radio remote control.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched
off 3 127.
■ After running at high engine speeds
or with high engine loads, operate the engine briefly at a low load or
run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect the turbocharger.

The radio remote control has a range of up to 5 metres. It can be restricted
by external influences. The hazard
warning flashers confirm operation.
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
■ Range exceeded
■ Battery voltage too low
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
radio remote control while not in
range
■ Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources
Unlocking 3 21.
Radio remote control battery replacement
Replace the battery as soon as the
range reduces.Batteries do not belong in household
waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.
Key with foldaway key section
Extend the key and remove the
battery holder by undoing the screw
with a suitable screwdriver. Remove
the battery holder from the key and

Vehicle care145
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 pressures.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.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre
pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Tyre pressure chart 3 172.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
Low tyre pressure condition
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by illumination
of control indicator w 3 77 together
with a warning chime. In vehicles with Multifunction version of the Driver
Information Centre, a corresponding message is also displayed.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 172.
After inflating, driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the system. During this time
w may illuminate.
146Vehicle care
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.
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.
Spare wheel 3 152, Wheel changing
3 150.
Control indicator w and (depending
on version) a corresponding message
appears at each ignition cycle until
the tyres are inflated to the correct
tyre pressure.
Driver Information Centre 3 80.Temperature dependency
Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. 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 3 148.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the TPMS.
Each time the tyres are replaced,
TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.
Relearn function After changing wheels, TPMS needs
to recalculate. The relearn process
takes up to 20 minutes of driving with
a minimum speed of 15 mph.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, control indicator w flashes
for several seconds then illuminatescontinuously and (depending on
version) a warning message is
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre.
Tread depth
Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.
