Grounding instructions This product must be grounded. If thisproduct should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Charge cord mounting
instructions
Choose an appropriate, solid location for mounting the charge cord. The
appropriate height for mounting the
charge cord is 91 cm from the floor.
Space the holes 18.7 cm apart.
Install the mounting screws leaving
the head of the screws 5 mm from the
surface.
Securely mount the charge cord on to
the screws.
Connect the wall plug to the electrical
outlet.
Connect the vehicle plug to the
charge port.

Do not use portable or stationary
backup generating equipment to charge the vehicle. This may
cause damage to the vehicle's
charging system. Only charge the
vehicle from utility supplied power.
Charge limit selection 3 197.

214Vehicle care
2.Move the safety catch sideways to
the left vehicle side and open the
bonnet.
3. Release the bonnet support from its retainer above the radiator
support and place it securely into
the slotted retainer in the bonnet.
Closing Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and let it fall into the latch from a low height (20-25 cm).
Check that the bonnet is engaged.Caution
Do not press the bonnet into the
latch to avoid dents.
Cooling system
The vehicle has three different
cooling systems.
Regularly check the coolant level of
the respective cooling systems and
have the cause of a possible coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Caution
Make sure that you never run the
vehicle with insufficient coolant.
Too low a coolant level can cause damage to the vehicle.
Heater cooling system
The coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment.
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C.

Vehicle care231unable to maintain the recommended
pressure, seek the assistance of a
workshop.Caution
Do not drive with a deflated self-
sealing tyre as this could damage
the tyre. Make sure the tyre is
inflated to the recommended
pressure or have it immediately
repaired or replaced.
When tyre replacement is needed,
replace with a self-sealing tyre,
because the vehicle does not come
with a spare tyre or tyre changing
equipment.
Directional tyres
If possible, fit directional tyres such
that they roll in the direction of travel.
The rolling direction is indicated by a
symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the
sidewall.
The following applies to tyres fitted
opposing the rolling direction:
● Driveability may be affected. Have the defective tyre renewed
or repaired as soon as possible
and fit it instead of the spare
wheel.
● Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
● Drive particularly carefully on wet
and snow-covered road
surfaces.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 250.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.

Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey.
