Bulb replacement
Switch off the ignition and switch off
the relevant switch or close the doors.
Only hold a new bulb at the base. Do not touch the bulb glass with bare
hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
Replace headlight bulbs from within
the engine compartment.
Halogen headlightsHeadlights have separate systems for low beam 1 (outer bulbs) and high
beam 2 (inner bulbs).
Low beam
1. Rotate the cap 1 anticlockwise
and remove it.

Tail light ( 2)
Turn signal light ( 3)
Version with Light Emitting Diode (LED):
Only brake light ( 1) and turn signal
light ( 2) can be changed.
7. Insert the bulb carrier into the tail light assembly. Connect the
wiring plug. Fit light assembly
onto retaining pins and tighten the securing nuts. Close the cover

Tail lights in the tailgate frame
1.Open the tailgate and remove the
cover with a screwdriver.
2. Press the retaining lug and remove the bulb carrier
downwards.
3. To replace the reverse light bulb (1 ), remove and replace the bulb.
To replace the tail light/rear fog
light bulb ( 2), push the bulb
slightly into the socket, rotate
anticlockwise, remove and
replace the bulb.
4. Insert the bulb carrier into the retainer.
5. Attach the cover.
6. Switch on the ignition, operate and check all lights.
For replacing the tail light bulb and
reverse light bulb on the right side of
the tailgate frame, proceed in the
same way.
Version with Light Emitting Diode
(LED):
Only the reverse light bulb can be
changed.
1. Open the tailgate and remove the
cover with a screwdriver.

Vehicle care185Electrical systemFuses
Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.
There are three fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
■ in the front left of the engine compartment,
■ In left-hand drive vehicles, in the interior behind the storage
compartment, or, in right-hand
drive vehicles, behind the
glovebox,
■ behind a cover on the left side of the
load compartment.
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the
respective switch and the ignition.
A blown fuse can be recognized by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without existence of a function.
Fuse extractor
A fuse extractor may be located in the
fuse box in the engine compartment.

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 3 224.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 232.
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.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Tyre pressure monitoring system The tyre pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) checks the pressure of all
four wheels once a minute when
vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit.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.
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.
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Vehicle Information
Menu in the Driver Information Centre
(DIC).
The menu can be selected by the
buttons on the turn signal lever.
Press the MENU button to select the
Vehicle Information Menu X .

194Vehicle care
Turn the adjuster wheel to select the
tyre pressure monitoring system.
System status and pressure warnings
are displayed by a message with the
corresponding tyre flashing in the
DIC.A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by the control
indicator w 3 96.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 232.
If w flashes for 60-90 seconds and
then illuminates continuously, there is a fault in the system. Consult a
workshop.
After inflating, driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the DIC. 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.
Vehicle messages 3 104.
If the tyre pressure shall be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w
illuminates continuously.
A temporary spare wheel is not
equipped with pressure sensors. The
tyre pressure monitoring system is
not operational for these wheels.
Control indicator w illuminates. For
the further three wheels the system
remains operational.
The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved repair kits can be used.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
