The following instructions must be observed if vehicle damage is to be avoided
when driving through water (e.g. flooded roads).›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through water.
The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam » Fig. 108.
›
Drive at no more than walking pace, otherwise a wave may form in front of
the vehicle, which could cause the water to enter into the vehicle’s systems
(e.g. the air intake system for the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
■ If water gets into the vehicle’s systems (e.g. the air intake system for the en-
gine) it can cause serious damage to the vehicle!■
Oncoming vehicles can generate water waves which can exceed the permis-
sible water level for your vehicle.
■
Do not drive through salt water, as the salt can cause corrosion. A vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.
Assist systems
General information
Introduction
WARNING■
The assistance systems only serve to support and do not relieve the driv-
er of the responsibility for driving the vehicle.■
The increased safety provision, as well as the increased occupant protec-
tion provided by the assistance systems must not tempt you to take risks -
risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
■
The assistance systems have physical and system-related limitations. For
this reason, the driver may experience some undesired or delayed system
responses in certain situations. You should therefore always be alert and
ready to intervene!
■
Only enable, disable or set the assistance systems so that you have the
vehicle fully under control in every traffic situation - risk of accident!
Braking and stabilisation systems
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Stability Control (ESC)
94
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
94
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
94
Traction control (TCS)
94
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
95
Brake Assist (HBA)
95
Hill Start Assist (HHC)
95
Multi collision brake (MCB)
95
Trailer stabilization system (TSA)
95
The brake and stabilization systems are automatically activated each time the
ignition is switched on, unless otherwise indicated.
The error display is in Chapter » page 29, Warning lights .
93Assist systems
WARNINGThe general information relating to the use of assistance systems must be
observed » page 93, in section Introduction .
Stability Control (ESC)
Read and observe
on page 94 first.
The ESC improves vehicle stability when driving at the limit (e.g. if the vehicle
starts to skid) by braking individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
If there is an ESC intervention, the warning light flashes in the instrument
cluster.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 94 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres- sure on the brake pedal.
Engine drag torque control (MSR)
Read and observe
on page 94 first.
MSR counteracts the tendency of the drive wheels to lock during downshifts
or sudden deceleration (e.g. on icy or an otherwise slippery road surface).
If the drive wheels should lock, then the engine speed is automatically in-
creased. This reduces the braking effect of the engine and the wheels can ro-
tate freely again.
Traction control (TCS)Fig. 109
Button for the TCS system:
Read and observe on page 94 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces the
drive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thus, for
example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
During a TCS intervention, the indicator light flashes in the instrument clus-
ter.
The deactivation/activation of TCS can be carried out, depending on equip-
ment, in one of the following ways. ▶ Infotainment » Owner's Manual - Infotainment .
▶ By pressing the
» Fig. 109 button.
With deactivation , the warning light lights up in the instrument cluster
and
an appropriate message is displayed in the instrument cluster.
With activation , the warning light
is
extinguished and an appropriate mes-
sage is displayed in the instrument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example. ▶ When driving with snow chains.
▶ When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
▶ When “rocking a car free” when it has become stuck.
94Driving
›Jack up the vehicle
» page 142 until the wheel that needs changing is clear of
the ground.›
Unscrew the wheel bolts and place them on a clean surface (cloth, paper,
etc.).
›
Remove the wheel carefully.
›
Attach the spare wheel and slightly screw on the wheel bolts.
›
Lower the vehicle.
›
Tighten the wheel bolts opposite each other using the wheel wrench (“pull- ing crossways”) » page 142.
›
Replace the wheel trim » page 141 and caps » page 141 .
When fitting unidirectional tyres, ensure that the direction of rotation is cor-
rect » page 134 .
All bolts must be clean and must turn easily. If screws are corroded and diffi-
cult to move, these must be replaced.
WARNING■ Undo the wheel bolts just a little (about one turn), provided the vehicle
has not yet been jacked up. Otherwise the wheel could come loose and fall
off – risk of injury.■
Under no circumstances must the bolts be greased or oiled - could cause
an accident.
Subsequent steps
After changing the wheel, the following work must be carried out.
›
Stow the replaced wheel in the well under the floor covering of the luggage
compartment and secure it with a nut.
›
Stow the tool kit in the space provided and secure using the band.
›
Check tyre pressure on the fitted wheel and adjust if necessary and, with ve-
hicles with tyre pressure monitoring, save the tyre pressure values in the
system » page 106 .
›
Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts checked as soon as possible.
The prescribed tightening torque is 120 Nm.
Replace the damaged wheel or consult a specialist garage about repair op-
tions.
WARNINGTightening torque which is too high can damage the threads and this can
result in permanent deformation of the contact surfaces on the rim. Where
tightening torque is too low, the wheels may become loose while driving -
risk of accident. Therefore drive cautiously and only at a moderate speed
until the tightening torque has been checked.
Removing/stowing the emergency or spare wheel
Fig. 158
Take out the wheel
The wheel is located in a well under the floor covering in the luggage compart-
ment and is fixed in place with a screw.
Take out the wheel
›
Lift up the floor in the luggage compartment.
›
Loosen the retaining belt and take out the box with the tool kit.
›
Unscrew the nut in the direction of arrow » Fig. 158 and take out the wheel.
Stow the wheel
›
Place the wheel into the wheel well with the wheel rim pointing downward.
On vehicles with the vehicle battery in the boot, lay down the wheel with the
outer face upward.
›
Pull the fixing band through the opposite holes in the wheel rim.
›
Screw the nut in the opposite direction to the arrow until it stops » Fig. 158.
›
Place the box with the tool kit back inside the wheel and secure it with the
tape.
›
Fold back the floor in the luggage compartment.
