is shining directly into the camera
lens
● ice, snow, mud, or anything else covers the camera lens. Clean
the lens, rinse it with water, and
wipe it with a soft cloth
● the rear doors/tailgate are not closed correctly
● the vehicle had a rear-end accident
● there are extreme temperature changes
138Driving and operatingFuel
Fuel for diesel engines Only use diesel fuel that complies
with EN 590. The fuel must have low
sulphur content (max. 10 ppm).
Equivalent standardised fuels with a
biodiesel (= FAME according to
EN14214) content of max. 7% by
volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent
standards) may be used.
In countries outside the European
Union, use Euro-Diesel fuel with a
sulphur concentration below 50 ppm.Caution
Use of fuel that does not comply to EN 590 or similar can lead to
engine powerloss, increased wear
or engine damage and loss of
warranty.
Do not use marine diesel oils, heating
oils, Aquazole and similar diesel-
water emulsions. Diesel fuels must
not be diluted with fuels for petrol
engines.
The flow and filterability of diesel fuels are temperature-dependent. When
temperatures are low, refuel with
diesel fuel with guaranteed winter
properties.
Diesel fuel filter 3 150, diesel fuel
system bleeding 3 151.
Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers.
Vehicles with stop-start system:
The engine must be switched off
and the ignition key removed, to avoid risk of engine being
restarted automatically by the
system.
Switch off any mobile phones.
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refuelling.
9 Danger
Fuel is flammable and explosive.
No smoking. No naked flames or
sparks.
If you can smell fuel in your
vehicle, have the cause of this
remedied immediately by a
workshop.
Caution
In case of misfuelling, do not
switch on ignition.
Notice
To ensure the fuel level is displayed
correctly, the ignition must be
switched off before refuelling. Avoid
minor fuel top-ups (e.g. less than
5 litres) to ensure accurate readings.
The fuel filler flap is located on the left-
hand side of the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the left-
hand door is opened.
Pull flap to open.
146Vehicle care
We recommend the use of the same
grade of engine oil that was used at
the last change.
The engine oil level must not exceed
the maximum mark MAX on the
dipstick.
Caution
Overfilled engine oil must be
drained or suctioned out.
To prevent spillage when
replenishing the engine oil, we
recommend using a funnel to top-up the engine oil. Ensure funnel is
securely located onto the filler pipe.
After topping-up, put the funnel into a
plastic bag and stow it securely.
A stabilization of the engine oil
consumption will not take place until the vehicle has been driven several
thousand miles. Only then can the
actual degree of consumption be
established.
If consumption exceeds more than
0.5 litres every 600 miles after this
running-in period, consult a
workshop.

164Vehicle careThe tyre pressure information labelon the driver's door frame indicates
the original equipment tyres and the
correspondent tyre pressures.
Always inflate tyres to the pressures
shown on the label.
Tyre pressures 3 196.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 186.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all possible tyre combinations 3 196.For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The Tyre Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) uses radio and
sensor technology to check tyre
pressure levels.
Caution
Tyre pressure monitoring system
warns only about low tyre pressure condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must
have the prescribed pressure.
Notice
In countries where the tyre pressure
monitoring system is legally
required, the use of wheels without
pressure sensors will invalidate the
vehicle type approval.
The TPMS sensors monitor the air
pressure in the tyres and transmit tyre pressure readings to a receiver
located in the vehicle.
Tyre pressure chart 3 196.
Tyre pressures in display
The current tyre pressures can be
shown in the Driver Information
Centre (DIC) 3 89.
Vehicle care165
With the vehicle stationary, press
button on end of wiper lever
repeatedly until the tyre pressure
menu is displayed.
Low tyre pressure condition
A detected low tyre pressure
condition is indicated by illumination
of control indicator w 3 87 and a
corresponding message appears in
the DIC.
If w illuminates, stop as soon as
possible and inflate the tyres as
recommended 3 196.
After inflating, some driving may be
required to update the tyre pressure
values in the DIC. During this time w
may illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures
and extinguishes after some driving,
this could be an indicator for
approaching a low tyre pressure
condition. Check tyre pressure.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure
sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure
will not be displayed and w flashes for
several seconds then illuminates continuously together with control
indicator F 3 85 and a corresponding
message appears in the DIC.
A spare wheel or temporary spare
wheel is not equipped with pressure
sensors. TPMS is not operational for
these wheels. For the further three
wheels, TPMS remains operational.
Control indicator w and a
corresponding message appears at
each ignition cycle until the tyres are
inflated to the correct tyre pressure.
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 89.
Vehicle messages 3 90.
166Vehicle carePuncture
A puncture or severely under-inflated
tyre is indicated by illumination of
control indicator w together with C
3 85 and a corresponding message
appears in the DIC. Stop vehicle and
switch off engine.
Tyre pressure 3 196, Tyre repair kit
3 168, Spare wheel 3 172, Wheel
changing 3 171.
Temperature dependency Tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase.
Tyre pressure values provided on the tyre information label and tyre
pressure chart are valid for cold tyres,
which means at 20 °C. The pressure
increases by nearly 1.5 psi for a
10 °C temperature increase. This
must be considered when warm tyres
are checked.The tyre pressure value displayed in
the DIC shows the actual tyre
pressure. A cooled down tyre will show a decreased value, which does
not indicate an air leak.
Relearn function
After changing the wheels, TPMS
needs to recalculate.
With the vehicle stationary, select the tyre pressure menu in the DIC by
pressing button on end of wiper lever.
Press and hold button for approx.5 seconds to initialise recalculation. A
corresponding message appears in
the DIC.
Several minutes of driving at a speed above 25 mph may be required to
complete the relearn process. The
system can only provide limited
information during this time.
If problems occur during the relearn
process, control indicator w remains
illuminated and a warning message is
displayed in the DIC.
Driver Information Centre (DIC) 3 89.
Vehicle messages 3 90.
General information The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 168.
External high-power radio equipment
could disrupt the tyre pressure
monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, TPMS sensors must be dismounted
and serviced by a workshop.
Vehicle care179The instrument cluster and the
displays should only be cleaned using
a soft damp cloth. If necessary use a
weak soap solution.
Clean fabric upholstery with a
vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove
stains with an upholstery cleaner.
Clothing fabrics may not be
colourfast. This could cause visible
discolourations, especially on light- coloured upholstery. Removable
stains and discolourations should be
cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water or interior cleaner.Caution
Close Velcro fasteners as open
Velcro fasteners on clothing could damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with
sharp-edged objects, like zips or
belts or studded jeans.
Plastic and rubber parts
Plastic and rubber parts can be
cleaned with the same cleaner as
used to clean the body. Use interior cleaner if necessary. Do not use any
other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol in particular. Do not use high-
pressure jet cleaners.
