driving
-Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be­
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel¢ Fig. 182.
- While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi­
tion. This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in­
flates.
- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur­
ing a sudden brake application or in an acci­
dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
Correct position for the passenger
The front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro­
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
adjusting the passenger's seat as follows:
"" Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.
"" Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
seat.
"" Fasten your seat belt correctly ¢ page 232.
In exceptional cases you can disable the pas­
senger's airbag via the key-operated switch*
¢page 237.
222 For
detailed information on how to adjust the
passenger's seat, see ¢ page 54, Front seats.
A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
-Adjust the passenger's seat so there is a dis-
tance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in­
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If you sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the passenger
in the case of sudden braking or an accident,
the passenger should never travel in a mov­
ing vehicle with the backrest reclined. The
airbag system and seat belt can only provide
proper protection when the backrest is in an
upright position and the passenger is wear­
ing the seat belt in the correct position. The
further the backrest is tilted back, the
greater the risk of injury due to incorrect po­
sitioning of the belt webbing or an incorrect
sitting position.
Examples of incorrect seating positions
Occupants can suffer severe or fatal injuries if
they sit in an incorrect position while the vehicle
is moving.
Seat belts can only provide maximum protection
if the belt webbing is positioned correctly. Sitting
out of position greatly reduces the effectiveness
of the seat belts and increases the risk of injury
since the belt webbing is not worn in the position
for which it is designed. The driver is responsible
for the safety of all vehicle occupants, especially
for children.
"" Never allow anyone to sit out of position while
the vehicle is moving ¢,&. . ..,.

CX) Cooling
system
Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a mixture of conditioned water and coolant
additive. This coolant must not be changed.
The coolant level is monitored by a warning lamp
• ¢page 14. However, we recommend that it
should be checked occasionally.
If you do need to top up the coolant, use a mix­
ture of water and coolant additive. We recom­
mend mixing coolant additive with distilled wa­
ter.
Coolant additive
The coolant additive contains anti-freeze and cor­
rosion protection agent. Only use one of the fol­
lowing coolant additives. It is possible to mix
these additives.
Coolant additive Specification
G13 TL 774
J
G12++ TL 774 G
The amount of coolant additive which needs to
be mixed with the water depends on the temper­
atures to be expected in the winter season. If the
anti-freeze concentration is too low, the coolant
can freeze and cause engine damage.

CD CAUTION
- Have your qualified workshop check the
cooling system before the winter season to
make sure that the anti-freeze concentra­
tion is adequate for the conditions to be ex­
pected. This applies particularly if you drive
into a colder climate zone.
- To prevent damage to the engine, do not
use a different type of anti-freeze additive if
the approved type of additive is not availa- Checking
and topping up fluids
ble. In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting
in the specified additive.
-Always top up with fresh, unused coolant.
- Radiator sealants must not be added to the
coolant.

Checking the coolant level
... Park your vehicle on a level surface.
.,.. Switch off the ignition.
.,.. Read
off the coolant level on the coolant ex­
pansion tank¢ page 246, Fig. 214. When the
engine is cold, the coolant level should be be­
tween the marks. When the engine is warm, it
may be slightly above the top mark.
Topping up the coolant
Important: The coolant expansion tank must not
be empty ¢(D.
.,.. Wait for the engine to cool down .
.,.. Cover the cap on the expansion tank with a
cloth, and carefully unscrew the cap anti-clock­
wise ¢ ,& .
.,.. Add coolant in the correct concentration
¢ page 249 up to the top mark.
... You should make sure that the fluid level re­
mains stable. If necessary, add more coolant.
... Screw the cap on again tightly.

co
The compact temporary spare wheel is only in­
tended for temporary use over short distances.
Have the damaged wheel checked as soon as pos­
sible by a qualified workshop and, if necessary,
replaced.
Please note the following restrictions when using
the compact temporary spare wheel. The com-
276 pact
temporary spare wheel is designed specifi­
cally for this model. For this reason, do not use a
spare wheel from a different type of vehicle .
Removing the spare wheel
... Turn the centre plastic knob¢ Fig. 238 © anti-
clockwise.
... Take out the spare wheel.
Removing the jack
... Lift open the trim on the right side of the lug-
gage compartment and take out the jack.
Snow chains
For technical reasons, snow chains must not be
used on the compact temporary spare wheel.
Should you have a puncture on one of the front
wheels when using snow chains, fit the compact
temporary spare wheel in place of one of the rear
wheels. You can then attach the snow chains to
the wheel taken from the rear and use this wheel
to replace the punctured front wheel.
A WARNING
- The tyre pressure must be checked as soon
as possible after fitting the spare wheel -an
incorrectly inflated tyre can increase the risk
of accident. You can find the tyre pressures
here ¢ page 256, Fig. 222.
- Do not drive faster than 80 km/h when the
compact temporary spare wheel is fitted
higher speeds can cause an accident.
- Avoid heavy acceleration, hard braking and
fast cornering when the compact temporary
spare wheel is fitted -risk of accident!
- Never use two or more compact spare tyres
at the same time -risk of accident!
- No other type of tyre (normal summer or
winter tyres) may be fitted on the compact
temporary spare wheel.
