Avoiding damage to your vehicle

Driving Tips
Only drive on such roads and in such terrain that match the vehicle parameters
» page 303 , Technical data as well as your driving skills.
The driver is always responsible for deciding whether the vehicle can handle
travelling in the given terrain.
WARNING■ Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions. Too high a speed or an erroneous manoeuvre may
cause serious injury and damage to the vehicle.■
Combustible objects such as dry leaves or twigs caught under the base of
the vehicle could ignite on hot vehicle parts - risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ Pay attention to the ground clearance of the vehicle! When driving over ob-
jects which are larger than the ground clearance, the vehicle can get damaged.■
Any objects that get trapped under the vehicle floor must be removed as
soon as possible. These items can cause damage to the vehicle (e.g. on parts
of the fuel system or the brake system).
Driving through water
Fig. 263
Maximum permissible water lev-
el when driving through water
The following must be observed to avoid damage to the vehicle when driving
through bodies of water (e.g. flooded roads).›
Therefore determine the depth of the water before driving through bodies of
water. The water level must not go above the web of the lower beam
» Fig. 263 .
›
Drive at a maximum speed of walking pace, otherwise a shaft may form in
front of the vehicle which could enable water to enter the vehicle system
(e.g. in the air induction system of the engine).
›
Never stop in the water, do not reverse and do not switch the engine off.
CAUTION
■ Water entering the vehicle systems (e.g. the air induction system of the en-
gine) 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. An vehicle
coming into contact with salt water is to be thoroughly rinsed with fresh wa-
ter.

screen (hereinafter only referred to as screen).
There are four modes available for different situations during the park and ma- noeuvring action. The mode change is carried out using the function surfaces
on the screen » page 223.
WARNING■
The general information relating to the use of assistance systems must
be observed » page 212, in section Introduction .■
The system detects obstacles. The display of the auxiliary boxes and lines
is independent of the actual vehicle environment. The driver must judge for
themselves whether the vehicle can park safely in the selected parking
space.
■
The camera may not be soiled or obscured, otherwise the system function
will be significantly affected - there is a risk of accident. For information on

Attach lifting jack
The procedure for lifting the vehicle is valid for all body versions.
Before the vehicle is raised, the safety instructions must be observed »
.
Use the jack from the tool kit to raise the vehicle. Position the jack at the jack-
ing point closest to the flat tyre.
The jacking points are located on the lower sill » Fig. 336.

Use the crank to raise the jack until its claw encloses the bar
» Fig. 337 -
 .
›
Continue to lift the vehicle until the wheel is just off the floor.
WARNINGObserve the following instructions, otherwise there is risk of injury.■Secure the vehicle from unexpectedly rolling away.■
Always ensure the base plate of the lifting jack cannot slip.
■ Provide a wide and stable base under the jack on loose surfaces (e.g.
such as gravel). ■ Create a non-slip base (e.g. a rubber floor mat) under the jack on a
smooth surface (e.g. cobblestones).
■
Always raise the vehicle with the doors closed.
■
Never position any body parts, such as arms or legs, under the vehicle,
while the vehicle is raised with a lifting jack.
■
When the vehicle is raised, never start the engine.
CAUTIONIt is important to ensure that the jack is correctly attached to the bar of the
lower beam, as otherwise there is a risk of damage to the vehicle.

The following information applies to the factory-fitted puncture repair kit.
Use the puncture repair kit to seal tyre punctures with a diameter of up to
about 4 mm.
Performing a repair with the breakdown kit not at all intended to replace a
permanent repair on the tyre. Its purpose is to get you to the nearest specialist
garage.
Immediately replace the tyre that was repaired using the puncture repair kit, or
consult a specialist garage about repair options.
Do not remove foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre (e.g. nails etc.).
Do not use the puncture repair kit in the following instances.
▶ The rim is damaged.
▶ The outdoor temperature is below the minimum temperature indicated in
the instruction manual of the tyre filling bottle with sealant.
▶ Tyre punctures of more than 4 mm.
▶ There is damage to the tyre wall.
▶ The expiration date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING■ If the sealant comes into contact with skin, wash the affected area imme-
diately.■
Observe the manufacturer's usage instructions for the breakdown kit.

Bulbs
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Bulb arrangement in the headlights

Replacing a bulb for low beam and main beam (halogen headlights)

Bulb for turn signal switch (halogen headlight)
300
Changing light bulbs for fog lights
301
Removing/installing tail light
301
Replacing the bulbs in the rear light
302
For this reason, we recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or
seeking other expert help in the event of any uncertainties.
▶ Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.
▶ Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-
tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage
after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.
In the case of failure of a Xenon gas discharge bulb or an LED diode, visit a
specialist garage.WARNING■ Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the
engine compartment » page 268.■
Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-
ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficul-
ty by other road users.
■
H7 and H8 bulbs are pressurised and may burst when changing the bulb -
risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety
glasses when changing a bulb.
■
Do not carry out any work on the xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of
death!
CAUTION
■ Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
napkin, or similar.■
The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-
light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of
damage to the headlights.
Note
■ This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is pos-
sible to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other
bulbs must be replaced by a specialist garage.■
We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the ve-
hicle.
