Instruments and indicator lights
If your vehicle is stationary or if you are driving at
very low speeds, the temperature displayed may
be slightly higher than the actua l temperature
outside due to the heat radiating from the en­
g ine.
A WARNING
Do not assume the roads are free of ice based
on the outs ide temperat ure display . Be aware
that there may be ice on roads even when the
outside temperature is around 42 °F (+5 °C)
a nd that ice can increase the risk of accidents .
You can set the un its used for temperat ure,
speed and other measurements in the Info­
tainment system.
Indicator lights
Description
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on . They indicate funct ions or ma l­
functions . With some indicator lights , messages
may appear and war ning signals may sound .
Some indicator lights are shown in multiple col­
ors in the instrument cluster display.

The indicato r lights and messages in the disp lay
can be covered by other displays. Disp laying driv­
er messages again¢ page 18, Operating using
the windshield wiper lever,¢ page 19, Operat­
ing using the multifunction steering wheel.
Overview
Some ind icator lights turn o n briefly as a function

¢ page 155, Working in the engine com­
partment
before open ing the hood and
check ing the b rake fl uid level.
- If the brake system indicator light does not

-Never open the hood if you can see or hear
steam or coolant escaping from the engine
compartment. This increases the risk of
burns. Wait until you no longer see or hear
steam or coolant escap ing .
- The engine compartment in any veh icle can
be a dangerous area. Stop the engine and
allow it to cool before working in the engine
compartment. Always follow the informa­
tion found inc::>
page 155, Working in the
engine compartment.
(D Note
Do not continue driving if the. indicator
light turns on as this increases the risk of en­
gine damage.

Driving
braking effec t, which he lps to protect the brakes
and tires and reduces the emissions and fuel con­
sumpt ion to zero (fuel shut-off during dece lera­
tion) .
Shift effici en tly
Upshift ing earlier is an effective way to save fuel.
Staying in a gear too long uses fue l unnecessari ­
ly.
P ress down o n the acce le ra tor peda l slowly and
avoid " kick -down ".
Avoid full acceleration
You should rare ly trave l at the maximum vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a d isproportionately
h igh inc rease in fuel consump tion, emissions and
tr affic no ise. Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
There are benefits to stopp ing the engine, for ex ­
ample when at railroad crossings or traffic lights
with longer red lights. Stopping the engi ne for
30 -40 seconds already saves mo re fuel than the
amount of extra fuel needed to restart the en­
gine.
It takes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en­
g ine up to ope ra ting tempe ra tu re. Wea r and
emissions are especially high in the wa rm -up
phase . Therefore, yo u should begi n driving im ­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RP Ms while doing t his .
Have maintenance performed r egularly
By having m ainten ance perfo rmed regu larly on
your ve hicle, yo u can he lp to reduce f uel con­
sumpt ion befo re yo u even start to dr ive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-te rm value but a l­
so impacts
fuel consumpt ion . A poorly main­
tained engine can lead to fuel consumption that
is 10% higher than normal.
Also check th e
oil level when refueling . T he oil
consumption
depends large ly on the engine load
and speed. It is normal for the oil consumpt ion
of a new eng ine to reach its lowest point only af ­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefo re, the oil
consumpt ion can o nly be properly judged after
58
approximately 3,0 00 miles (S,000 km) have been
driven .
Avoid short trips
The eng ine and exhaust clean ing system mus t
r each their optima l
operating temperature to ef­
fe ct ively reduce consump tion and emissions.
A cold engine uses a d isp roportionately high
amount of fue l. The engine reac hes operat ing
temperat ure and cons umption no rmal izes on ly
a fter approximate ly 2.5 m iles (4 km) .
Check the tire pressure
To save fuel, make sure the t ires are always in­
flated to the correct pressure ~
page 175. The
fuel consumpt ion can increase by 5% if the p res ­
s ur e is on ly 0.5 bar too low. Due to the i ncreased
rol ling resis tance, low tire p ressures w ill also
l ead to greater tire
wear and will affect driving
behavior .
Do no t drive on
winter tir es ye ar-r ound, as this
will consume up to 10% more f uel.
Eliminate unnecessary weight
S ince every po und of ext ra weight increases fuel
consump tion , a quick inspect io n of the luggage
compartmen t may be wo rth it to avoid unneces ­
s ar y we ight.
When not be ing used, a roof rack shou ld be re­
moved to decrease the w ind resistance of the ve­
hi cle. This will save yo u ap prox imately 1 2% fue l
at speeds from 62 -75 mph (100 -12 0 km/h).
Save energy
The eng ine drives the generator, which generates
e lectric ity; the fuel consumpt io n also increases
with t he demand for e lectricity . T he refore, sw itch
electrica l eq uipm ent off whe n you no longe r
need i t. Exa mples of eq uipme nt tha t uses a lo t of
energy a re air blowe rs at a high setting, the rea r
window defogger and seat heating* .
([) Note
-Do not leave engine idling un attended afte r
sta rting. If warn ing li ghts should come on
to ind icate improper ope ration, they wou ld
go unheeded . Extended idling also pro duces .,.

Trailer towing
Driving with a trailer
General information
Your vehicle is primarily intended for transport­ ing people and luggage . However, if you drive
with a trailer , follow the technical requirements,
the operation and driving tips, and the legal reg­
ulations.
Driving with a trailer affects the vehicle's fuel
consumption, performance and wear.
It also re­
quires higher concentration from the driver.
A WARNING
Do not transport any people in a trailer due to
the risk of fatal injury.
Technical requirements
Certain requirements must be met when towing
a trailer.
Trailer hitch
Only use a trailer hitch with a removable ball hitch mount and ball hitch. The trailer hitch must
be permitted for the vehicle , the trailer and the
permitted total weight of the trailer being
pulled. Above all, it must be securely and safely
attached to the vehicle trailer.
Never mount a trailer hitch on the bumper. The
trailer hitch must be mounted in a way that does
not impair the function of the bumper. Do not
make any changes to the exhaust system and the
brake system.
Check regularly if the trailer hitch is securely mounted. Always follow the instructions given by
the trailer hitch manufacturer.
Trailer brakes
If the trailer has its own brake system, then fol­
low the manufacturer specifications. However,
the brake system on the trailer must never be
connected to the vehicle brake system.
Trailer towing
Engine cooling system
Driving with a trailer means a higher load on the
engine and the cooling system. The cooling sys­
tem must be designed for additional load and
contain enough coolant
c::> (D .
A WARNING
-
-Never mount a "weight-distributing" or
"load-balancing" trailer coupler as the trail­
er hitch . The vehicle was not designed for
these types of trailer hitches . The trailer
hitch can malfunction and the trailer can
break off from the vehicle.
- If the trailer is equipped with electronic
brakes, these brakes cannot be activated by
a factory-installed control system, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.
- To reduce the risk of injury, always remove
