Coolant temperature gauge
The coolant temperature gauger=> page 10,
Fig. 3@ only works when the ignition is switched
on. In order to avoid possible damage to the en­
gine, please read the following notes for the dif­
ferent temperature ranges.
Engine cold
If the LEDs are still in the left-hand range of the
display, this indicates that the engine has not yet
reached operating temperature. Avoid high en­
gine speeds, full acceleration and heavy engine
loads.
Normal temperature
The LEDs will settle somewhere in the centre of
the display once the engine has reached operat­
ing temperature. If the warning lamp. lights
up on the infotainment display, the coolant tem­
perature is too high r=> page 14.
10 CD
CAUTION
-Additional lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling ef­
fect of the radiator. At high outside temper­
atures and high engine loads, there is a risk
of the engine overheating.
- The front spoiler also ensures proper distri­
bution of the cooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can
reduce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Obtain professional
assista nee.
i Note
Diesel engines are so efficient that they may
not reach their full operating temperature in
very cold weather. This is quite normal and no
cause for concern.
Fuel gauge
The gauge @only works when the ignition is
switched on. If there is less than 7 litres of fuel in
the tank, a red LED will light up and the indicator
lamp I]] will appear r=> page 18. The LED will
flash in red if the fuel level is very low.

CD CAUTION
If the engine has been working hard for a long
time, there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching it off.
{(D Note
After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant tem-
perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is
warm.
-Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has not yet reached oper­
ating temperature.

CX) Parking
aids
General notes
Applies to: vehicles with rear parking aid/parking system
plus/park assist
Various systems are available to help you when
parking or manoeuvring in tight spaces, depend­
ing on the equipment fitted on your vehicle.
The rear parking aid gives an acoustic warning if
there are any obstacles behind the car
¢page 104.
When you are parking, the parking system plus
warns you acoustically and optically about obsta­
cles detected in front of and behind the vehicle
¢page 104. On vehicles with park assist, the
area detected at the side of the vehicle ®
¢page 104, Fig. 106 is also monitored.
The reversing camera uses the infotainment sys­
tem display to show a picture of the area behind
the vehicle captured by the camera. Orientation
lines in the image from the reversing camera as­
sist you when parking or manoeuvring
¢ page 106. In addition, you are assisted by the
functions of the parking system plus
¢page 104.
The park assist helps you to find suitable parking
spaces, to manoeuvre the vehicle into spaces par­
allel or perpendicular to the roadside and to drive
out of spaces parallel to the kerb ¢ page 108.
A WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The electronic systems
cannot replace the full concentration of the
driver. The driver is always responsible for
safety during parking and all other manoeu­
vres.
- Please note that certain surfaces, such as
clothing fabrics, cannot be detected or dis­
played by the system -risk of accident!
- The sensors and cameras have blind spots in
which neither people nor objects are regis­
tered. It is particularly important to ensure
that there are no small children or animals
near the vehicle -risk of accident! Parking
aids
- Impacts or damage to the radiator grille,
bumper, wheel arches or underbody can
cause misalignment of the sensors. This can
impair the effectiveness of the parking aids.
Have the systems checked by a qualified
workshop.
CD CAUTION
- The system may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as the following:
- Chains, trailer draw bars, posts or fences
- Objects above the sensors, such as wall
protrusions, etc.
- Objects with certain surfaces or struc­
tures, such as wire fences or powder snow
- As your car moves closer to low obstacles,
they may disappear from the sensors' field
of vision. Please note that you will no longer
be warned about these obstacles.
- Remember to maintain sufficient clearance
from the kerb to avoid damaging the wheel
rims.
(@ Note
- In certain situations, a warning may be giv­
en by the system even if there is no obstacle
within range of the sensors. This can be
caused by the following, for instance:
- Certain road surfaces or long grass
- External ultrasound sources, e.g. from
street cleaning vehicles
- Heavy rain or snow or dense exhaust
fumes
- To familiarise yourself with the system, we
recommend that you practise parking in a
quiet location or a car park. The weather
and light conditions should be good.
- You can adjust the volume of the beeps.
- There is a slight delay in the picture display.
- To ensure that the acoustic parking aid
works properly, the sensors must be kept
clean and free of snow and ice.

CX) -
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.

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

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Checking
and topping up fluids
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system
checked. If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.
A WARNING
- The cooling system is under pressure. Do
not unscrew the cap on the expansion tank
when the engine is hot: you could be scal­
ded by escaping steam.
- The coolant and coolant additive can be a
health hazard. Store the coolant additive in
the original container in a safe place out of
reach of children -risk of poisoning.
- 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!
CD CAUTION
Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty. Air could have got into the cooling
system -risk of engine damage! In this case,
do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assis­
tance.
