frontExplanation
Cold frontIf a cold front moves in, the
weather remains changeable
and there are often rain show-
ers and thunderstorms. The
air temperature decreases.
Warm frontThis can mean longer periods
of rain and can lead to an
increase in cloud cover and a
slow increase in temperature.

Stationary
frontThe weather front moves min-
imally. The weather remains
changeable in this area.
OcclusionThis occurs when a faster cold
front reaches an advancing
warm front and combines
with it. The weather remains
changeable and rainy within
an occlusion.

Useful information

This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip-
ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.

Vehicle tool kit
General notes
The vehicle tool kit consists of a towing eye
and test gauge for measuring the brake pad
thickness (
Ypage 178). The towing eye is
located in the trunk in a bracket below the
trunk lid lock. The gauge for measuring brake
pad/lining thickness is in the vehicle docu-
ment wallet. If the vehicle is equipped with a
TIREFIT kit, it is located in the stowage com-
partment under the trunk floor.

iDepending on the equipment, tools
required for a wheel change, such as a jack or a lug wrench, are not available in all vehi-
cles. Tools approved for your vehicle are
available at a qualified specialist workshop.

Tire Pressure
.
XPress the abutton.
The current tire pressure of each tire is
shown in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for over
20 minutes, the Tire pressure will be
displayed after driving a few
minutesmessage appears.
After a teach-in process, the tire pressure
monitor automatically detects new wheels or
new sensors. As long as a clear allocation of
the tire pressure value to the individual
wheels is not possible, the Tire Pressure
Monitor Activedisplay message is shown
instead of the tire pressure display. The tire
pressures are already being monitored.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tires, a warning message
is shown in the multifunction display and the
yellow tire pressure monitor warning lamp
comes on.
RIf the Please Correct Tire Pressure
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tire pressure in at least one tire is
too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity.
RIf theCheckTiresmessage appears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in
one or more tires has dropped significantly
and the tires must be checked.
RIf the Warning Tire Malfunction
appears in the multifunction display, the
tire pressure in one or more tires has drop-
ped suddenly and the tires must be
checked. Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the "Tires" section
(
Ypage 264).
iIf the wheel positions on the vehicle are
rotated, the tire pressures may be dis-
played for the wrong positions for a short
time. This is rectified after a few minutes of
driving, and the tire pressures are displayed
for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tire pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tire pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tire pressure. However, you
can also define reference values manually as
described here. The tire pressure monitor
then monitors the new tire pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recom-
mended for the corresponding driving sit-
uation on the Tire and Loading Information
placard on the driver's side
B-pillar (
Ypage 571).
Additional tire pressure values for different
loads can also be found on the tire pressure
table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(
Ypage 571).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correct
on all four wheels.
XMake sure that the SmartKey is in position
2 in the ignition lock.
