WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase.
R The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes Wheels and tyres

R
before embarking on a longer journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y.Driving wi
thtyre pressu rethat is too high or too
low can:
R Sho rten the service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage.
R Adversely af fect handling characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. &
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (→ page 386).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: You can also check the tyre pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
A rise in the tyre temp erature of 10°C increases
th e tyre pressure byappr ox.10 kPa (0.1 ba r,1.
5 psi). Take this into account when checking
th e tyre pressure of warm tyres.

equi valent specification.
Fu el of this specification may con tain up to
10 %ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel.
Do not refuel using:
R Diesel
R E85, E100
R Petrol containing me thanol (M15, M30,
M85, M100)
R Petrol wi thadditives con taining me tal
If yo u accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel: #
Do not switch the ignition on. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. Re
commended fuel: there commended octane
number foryo ur vehicle can be found in the
information table in the fuel filler flap
(→ page 153).
If th eav ailable fuel is not suf ficiently low in sul‐
phu r,th is can produce unpleasant odours.
Alternative fuel: as atemp orary measure, if the
re commended fuel is not available, you may also
use regular unleaded regular petrol with an
octane number of at least 91RON. This may
re duce engine output and increase fuel con‐
sum ption.
