Air suspension
Operates automatically when the
vehicle is driven. The air suspension
system constantly adjusts the ride
height according to the vehicle load.
Caution
To ensure safe operation of the air
suspension system, do not exceed the maximum permissible gross
vehicle weight rating. Refer to
identification plate 3 226 or the
vehicle documents.
For further information on the air
suspension system, refer to the
operating instructions supplied.
Master switchCaution
The air suspension system must
be switched off when the vehicle is being towed, jump‐started, raised
off the ground or transported.
Do not switch off the air
suspension system when driving.
Jump starting 3 213, Towing the
vehicle 3 216.
The master switch is located on the
door pillar.
Switch on to enable operation and
adjustment of the air suspension
system.

service mode.
Remote control
When increased ground clearance or improved vehicle access is required,the suspension can be raised or
lowered using the remote control.
Driving and operating149Note
If AdBlue must be refilled at very low
temperatures, the refilling of AdBlue may not be detected by the system.
In this case, park the vehicle in a
space with a higher ambient
temperature until AdBlue is
liquefied.
Note
If engine starting is prohibited due to low AdBlue level, we recommend
refilling the tank completely or with a
volume of at least ten litres of AdBlue (depending on AdBlue
consumption).
Avoid minor top-ups (e.g. less than ten litres), otherwise the system may not detect a refill.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
may emerge. Do not inhale as the fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the filler flap located on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.
The filler flap can only be opened if the vehicle is unlocked and the right-hand door is opened.9 Danger
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.
Capacities 3 246.
Filling station
9 Danger
Follow the operating and safety
instructions of the filling station
when refilling AdBlue.
1. Switch off engine and remove key
from ignition switch.
2. Open right-hand door and pull fuel
filler flap to open.
3. Unscrew blue protective cap anticlockwise from the filler neck.
4. Fully insert the pump nozzle into the filler neck and switch it on.
5. When refilling is complete, mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
6. Close filler flap and right-hand door.
150Driving and operatingAdBlue canisterNote
Only use the designated AdBlue
canisters for refilling, to prevent a
topping-up of too much AdBlue.
Additionally, the fumes in the tank
are captured in the canister and do
not emerge.
Note
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
1. Switch off engine and remove key
from ignition switch.
2. Open right-hand door and pull fuel
filler flap to open.3. Unscrew blue protective cap anticlockwise from the filler neck.
4. Open AdBlue canister.
5. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
6. Lift the canister until it is empty, or
until the flow from the canister has stopped. This can take up to five
minutes.
7. Place the canister on the ground to empty the hose, wait 15
seconds.
8. Unscrew the hose from the filler neck.
9. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
10. Close filler flap and right-hand door.
Note
Dispose of AdBlue canister
according to environmental
requirements. Hose can be reused
after flushing with clear water before
AdBlue dries out.Note
Allow the vehicle to idle for at least
ten seconds to allow the system to
detect the AdBlue refill.
Failure to observe this procedure will
result in the system only recognising the AdBlue refill after approx.
20 minutes of driving.
If the AdBlue refill is detected
successfully, AdBlue level warnings
will disappear.
If the AdBlue refill is not detected
some time after running the engine,
seek the assistance of a workshop.
Filler cap
Only use genuine filler caps. AdBlue tank has a special filler cap.
Fault
If the system detects an operating
fault, control indicator Õ illuminates
together with A and a warning
chime. Seek the assistance of a
workshop immediately.
Depending on version, a
corresponding message may also
appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 103.
170Driving and operatingwater 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 3 184, diesel fuel
system bleeding 3 184.
Low temperature operation
At temperatures below 0° C, some
diesel products with biodiesel blends
may clog, freeze or gel, which may
affect the fuel supply system. Starting
and engine operation may not work
properly. Make sure to fill winter
grade diesel fuel at ambient
temperatures below 0°C.
Arctic grade diesel fuel can be used
in extreme cold temperatures below
-20° C. Using this fuel grade in warm
or hot climates is not recommended
and may cause engine stalling, poor
starting or damage on the fuel
injection system.Refuelling9 Danger
Before refuelling, switch off engine
and any external heaters with
combustion chambers. 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.
The fuel tank filler neck with bayonet
cap is located on the left front side of
the vehicle.
The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked and the door is opened. Open the fuel filler flap by
hand.9 Danger
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.

disconnecting the main vehicle
battery or before jump starting the vehicle.
The terminals are designed for
additional electrical consumers up to a maximum of 50 A.

Diesel fuel filter
Drain diesel fuel filter of residual
water at every engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Loosen the knurled
screws on the filter cover and on the
lower part of the filter by approx. one
turn, to drain off the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel fuel emerges from the knurled screw
at the bottom. Retighten the two
screws.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
Diesel fuel system bleedingIf the fuel tank has been run dry, it will be necessary to air vent or bleed the
diesel fuel system.
Fill the tank with fuel and proceed as
follows:
1. Place a suitable container underneath the fuel filter vent
screw to collect fuel.
2. Loosen the vent screw (arrowed) by one turn.
3. Manually operate the in-line supply pump slowly and steadily
until fuel discharging from the
loosened vent screw is free of air
bubbles.
4. Retighten the vent screw.
In vehicles without an in-line supply
pump, fill the tank with fuel and
proceed as follows:Caution
Do not turn ignition key to position
3 before beginning the bleeding
procedure.
Ignition switch positions 3 135.
Vehicle care1851.Turn ignition key to position 2 and
hold for five seconds.
2. Turn key back to position 1 and
wait for three seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 multiple times.
4. Turn key to position 3, then return
to 0.
If the engine cannot be started after
several attempts to bleed the diesel
fuel system, seek the assistance of a
workshop.

If required, use the step located below
the headlights to reach the
windscreen wiper.
Lift wiper arm, press retaining clip
towards wiper arm and detach wiper
blade.
Attach the wiper blade slightly angled
to the wiper arm and push until it engages.
Lower wiper arm carefully.
Bulb replacement
Ensure the ignition is switched off
completely (the vehicle must not be in
an Autostop 3 137) and turn off the
relevant switch or close the doors.

hands.
Use only the same bulb type for
replacement.
Bulb check After a bulb replacement, switch on
the ignition, operate and check the
lights.
