Never place objects in the driver's footwell.
Such objects could move under the pedals
and interfere with their proper function. In
the event of sudden braking or a change of
direction, you would not be able to use the
pedals. This could result in a loss of control
and possibly cause an accident.
Floor mats on the driver's side
Use only floor mats which can be securely fas­
tened in the footwell and do not obstruct the
pedals.
... Make sure that floor mats are securely fastened
and cannot interfere with the pedals ¢,&. .
Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area un­
obstructed and are firmly secured to prevent
them from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from your dealer or a specialist retailer.
A WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.
- Always make sure that floor mats are prop­
erly secured.
- Never lay or install additional floor mats or
other floor coverings over the existing floor
mats; this would restrict the pedal area and
possibly obstruct the pedals, which could
cause an accident.
Stowing luggage safely
Luggage compartment
All luggage and other objects must be safely se­
cured in the luggage compartment. To maintain
safe handling on the road, please observe the fol­
lowing points:
.,.. Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
.,.. Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the Luggage compartment and secure them
properly. Safe
driving
... Secure the load with the luggage net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings* ¢ page 228.
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicle as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward -risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart­
ment and secure them on the fastening
rings*. Use suitable securing straps, particu­
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Always stow objects in the luggage com­
partment.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity -this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicle
¢ page 287. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight limit can affect the ve­
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in­
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside. In this case the child would be un­
able to get out of the
vehicle
without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the vehi­
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop­
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times

Do not wear the belt over hard or fragile ob­
jects (such as glasses or pens, etc.) because
this can cause injuries.
- Loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat
over a jacket) impairs the proper fit and
function of the belts.
- The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the
retractors may not work properly
¢ tab. Cleaning the interior on page 265.
- The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be
blocked with paper or other objects, as this
can prevent the latch plate from engaging
properly.
- The latch plate of the belt must always be
engaged in the correct buckle for that seat,
otherwise the belt will not be fully effective.
- Check the condition of the seat belts at reg­
ular intervals. If you notice that the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanism or
buckle of any of the belts is damaged, the
belt must be replaced by a qualified work­
shop.
- The seat belts must not be removed or
modified in any way. Do not attempt to re­
pair a damaged belt yourself.
- Seat belts which have been worn in an acci­
dent and stretched must be replaced by a
qualified workshop. The belt anchorages
should also be checked. Forces
acting in a
collision Seat
belts
The physical principles involved in a frontal
impact
Very large forces are generated during a colli­
sion; these forces have to be absorbed.
Fig. 189 Passengers of a vehicle which is headed for a
brick wall. They are not using seat belts.
Fig. 190 The vehicle crashes into the wall
The physical principles involved in a frontal colli­
sion are relatively simple:
Both the moving vehicle and the passengers pos­
sess energy, which is known as "kinetic energy"
¢ Fig. 189. The amount of "kinetic energy" de­
pends on the speed of the vehicle and the weight
of the vehicle and passengers. The higher the
speed and the greater the weight, the more ener­
gy there is to be absorbed in an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from
25 km/h to 50 km/h, for example, the kinetic en­
ergy increases by a factor of four. Because these
passengers are not restrained by seat belts, the
entire amount of kinetic energy has to be absor­
bed at the point of impact ¢ Fig. 190. This would
result in serious or potentially fatal injury.
..,.

belts
Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1,000 kg) or more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Again: if the speed doubles, the forces increase
by a factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not
"attached" to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?
Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju­
ries in the event of an accident.
Fig. 191 A driver not wearing a seat belt can be thrown
forwards
In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc
¢ Fig. 191. Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false. Even at Low speeds the forces acting on
the body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
232 How
to wear seat belts
properly

tioned properly ¢ Fig. 192 -risk of injury
¢ page
233, Adjusting the seat belts. -
- The latch plate of the belt must always be
engaged in the correct buckle for that seat.
Otherwise the belt will not be fully effective
and the danger of injury increases.
Adjusting the seat belts
Always position seat belts properly for maximum
safety.
Fig. 194 Adjusting shoulder/lap belt
The following equipment is available for your ve­
hicle to help you position the seat belt properly
to suit your height:
- Height-adjustable seats
- Belt guide ring on backrest
A WARNING
- The shoulder section of the belt should be
fitted across the centre of the collar bone
close to the body. To fasten the belt, take
hold of the belt above the latch plate and
pull it slowly down across your chest. Wear
the lap portion of the seat belt as low as
possible over the hips so that there is no
pressure on the lower abdomen. The belt
should always be worn tightly ¢ Fig. 194.
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
- Always make sure that belt is positioned
properly. Incorrectly worn seat belts can
give rise to injuries even in a minor collision. Seat
belts
- Seat belts worn too loose can result in inju­
ries because they allow excessive forward
movement in a crash; the occupant will be
brought to a sudden stop by the belt web­
bing.
Wearing and adjusting the seat belts
during pregnancy
To afford the best protection for the unborn
child it is important for the mother to wear the
seat belt properly at all times.

months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth­
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
CD CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam­
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if you fill up with the
wrong type of fuel, as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro­
fessional assistance.

as far as the stop ¢ Fig. 208 and ensure it is
properly engaged .
... Start refuelling. When the automatic filler noz­
zle is operated correctly it will switch itself off
as soon as the tank is full. Do not try to put in
more fuel after the nozzle cuts out, as this will
fill the expansion chamber in the fuel tank.
.., When the fuel filler pump switches itself off,
wait for 5 seconds before pulling out the filler
nozzle so that any remaining fuel can flow into
the tank opening.
... Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear it click
into place.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further
notes on fuel ¢ page 241.
The tank capacity of your vehicle is given in the
Technical data section ¢ page 288 .
A WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause seri­
ous burns and other injuries.
- When filling your tank or a spare fuel canis­
ter with fuel, do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames -risk of explosion!
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and Leak.
- If, in exceptional circumstances, you have to
carry a spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never fill fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicle. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va­
pour to ignite -risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill it.
- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possible
into the spare fuel canister .
- If the spare fuel canister is made of metal,

Emission control
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded pet­
rol, otherwise the catalytic converter will be ir­
reparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­
ing. This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system, which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost
all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In
normal driving conditions the filter is self-clean-
244 ing.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter
not be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is
continuously used only for short trips, the filter
becomes obstructed with soot and the symbol
C for the diesel particulate filter lights up
¢page 17.
A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the vehi­
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission control system, do not
park the vehicle where the exhaust can
come into contact with flammable materials
under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest
edge) -risk of fire!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the
area around the exhaust system -risk of
fire!

Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These flu­
ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator anti­
freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system, especially when working
on the battery.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off -risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.
- Never remove the engine cover panel -risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive
belts, alternator and radiator fan, etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Vehicles with automatic gearbox: Never
open the throttle inadvertently (for instance
by hand from the engine compartment) if a
gear is engaged while the vehicle is station­
ary with the engine running. The vehicle will
otherwise start moving immediately and
could cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
- Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury
and chemical burns in addition to danger of
accident or fire. For this reason, you must
have the work carried out by a qualified
workshop.
CD CAUTION
When topping up fluids make sure the correct
fluid is put into the correct filler opening. This Checking
and topping up fluids
can otherwise cause serious malfunctions or
engine damage.
@ For the sake of the environment
Inspect the ground underneath your vehicle
regularly so that any leaks are detected at an
early stage. If you find spots of oil or other
fluids, have your vehicle inspected in the
workshop.

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

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.

- 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
