WARNING Risk of bu rns from hot com‐
ponent parts in the engine compartment
Cer tain components in the engine compart‐
ment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the
ra diator and parts of theex haust sy stem. 0007
Allow the engine tocool down and only
to uch co mponent parts described in the
fo llowing. 000A
WARNING Danger of bu rns when open‐
ing the bonn et
If yo u open the engine bonn etwhen the
engine has overheated or during a fire inthe
engine compartment, you could come into
contact with hot gases or other escaping
operating fluids. 0007
Before opening the bonn et, allow the
engine tocool down. 0007
Intheeve nt of a fire inthe engine com‐
partment, keep the engine bonn et
closed and call thefire service. 000A
WARNING Risk of scalding from hot
coolant
The engine cooling sy stem is pressurised,
particularly when the engine is warm. If you
open the cap, you could be scalded byhot
coolant spr aying out. 0007
Let the engine cool down before open‐
ing the cap. 0007
When opening the cap, wear pr otective
gl ove s and saf etygl asses. 0007
Open the cap slowly torelease pres‐
sure. 0007
Park theve hicle on a le vel sur face. 0007
Check the coolant temp erature display in the
instrument clus ter.
The coolant temp erature must be below
70 °C. 0007

If
th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
th e0091 symbol, the tyre pressure information

These tyre pressures may impr oveyour vehicle's

increase slightl y.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in theta ble for dif fere nt num‐
be rs of passengers and amounts of luggage. The

tem
The sy stem checks the tyre pressure and the
tyre temp erature of the tyres fitted totheve hicle
by means of a tyre pressu resensor.
New tyre pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tyres,
are automatically taught-in during thefirs t jour‐
ney they are used. The tyre pressure and
the tyre temp erature
appear in the multifunction display
(0013 page 434).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tyre temp erature is excessive, you will be
wa rned in thefo llowing ways:
R via display messa ges (0013 page 509)

clus ter (0013 page 538)
The tyre pressu remonitoring sy stem is only an
aid. It is the driver's responsibility toset the tyre
pressure tothere commended cold tyre pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tyre
pressure for cold tyres using a tyre pressu re
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tyre pressure for
th e cur rent operating situation mu stfirs t be

In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce

Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐
ues byrestarting the tyre pressure monitoring

The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
