The essentials
Attach the tow rope or the tow bar only to the
t o
wline anc
horages provided or a towing
bracket.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● The tow rope must be taut before you drive
off.
● Rel
ease the clutch very carefully when start-
ing the v
ehicle (manual gearbox), or acceler-
ate gently (automatic gearbox).
Driving style
Towing requires some experience, especially
when using a tow rope. Both drivers should
realise how difficult it is to tow a vehicle. In-
experienced drivers should not attempt to
tow.
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and take care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
The ignition of the vehicle being towed must
be switched on to prevent the steering wheel
from locking and also to allow the use of the
turn signals, horn, windscreen wipers and
washers.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N. The brake servo only works when the engine
is ru
nning. When not running, you must ap-
ply considerably more pressure to the brake
pedal.
As the power assisted steering does not work
if the engine is not running, you will need
more strength to steer than you normally
would.
››› in General information on page 100
››› page 100 Tow-starting
If the engine will not start, first try starting it
u
s
in
g the battery of another vehicle
››› page 71. You should only attempt to tow-
start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol en-
gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.
However, if your vehicle has to be tow-star-
ted:
● Engage 2 nd
or 3 rd
ge
ar.
● Keep the clutch pressed down. ●
Switc
h the ignition on.
● Once both vehicles are moving, release the
clutc
h.
● As soon as the engine starts, press the
clutc
h and move the gear lever into neutral.
This helps to prevent driving into the towing
vehicle.
››› in General information on page 100
››› page 100 How to jump start
Jump l e
a
ds The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
c
r
o
ss section.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine.
Jump leads
Jump leads must comply with standard DIN
72553 (see cable manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm 2
for petrol engines and at least
35 mm 2
for diesel engines. » 71

Changing bulbs
Gener a
l
notes Read the additional information carefully
› ›

page 63
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill.
If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment lamps yourself, remember that it is a
dangerous area ››› in Safety notes for work
in the en gine c
omp
artment on page 273.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder. Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are diff
erent sets of headlights and tail
lights:
● Halogen headlights.
● Full-LED main headlights*
● Halogen headlights with LED daytime run-
ning lights*
● Re
ar bulb light
● LED rear light*
Ful
l-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the vehicle and the bulbs cannot
be replaced. In case of headlight failure, go
to an authorised workshop to have it re-
placed. WARNING
● Tak e p
articular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glas
s can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure
yourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. 106

Warning messages, Priority 2 (yellow)
If one of these faults occurs, the correspond-
ing warning lamp lights up and is accompa-
nied by an audible warning. Check the corre-
sponding function as soon as possible al-
though the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are de-
tected at the same time, the symbols are dis-
played one after the other for about 2 sec-
onds at a time. After a set time, the informa-
tion text will disappear and the symbol will
be shown as a reminder at the side of the
display.
Priority 2 warning messages will not be
shown until all Priority 1 warning messages
have been dealt with! Examples of priority 2 warning reports (yel-

● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and al
low it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazar
dous area and could cause severe inju-
ries ››› page 273. CAUTION

itch : version with Climatronic.
: version with manual air conditioning. The seat cushions can be heated electrically
when the ignition i

itched on. The back-
rest is also heated in some versions.
The seat heating should not be engaged in
any of the following conditions:
● The seat is unoccupied.
● The seat has a covering.
● There is a child seat installed in the seat.
● The seat cushion is wet or damp.
● The indoor or outdoor temperature is great-

Adjusting the heating output
Press the button or repeatedly until the
desired intensity level is reached.
Deactivating
Press the button or until all warning
lamps switch off. WARNING
Children and people who cannot perceive
pain or t emper
ature because of medications,
paralysis or chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes)
or have a limited perception of these, may
suffer burns to the back, buttocks or legs
when using seat heating, an occurrence that
may entail a very lengthy recovery period or
from which it may not be possible to recover
fully. Seek medical advice if you have doubts
regarding your health.
● People with limited pain and temperature
thresho
lds must never use seat heating.
● If an abnormality in the device's tempera-
ture c
ontrol is detected, have it checked by a
specialist workshop. WARNING
If the fabric of the cushion is wet, this can ad-
ver sely
affect the operation of the seat heat-
ing, increasing the risk of burns.
● Make sure the seat cushion is dry prior to
usin
g the seat heater.
● Do not sit on the seat with clothing that is
wet or d
amp.
● Do not leave clothing that is wet or damp
on the seat.
● Do not
spill liquid on the seat. CAUTION
● To av oid d
amaging the heating elements of
the seat heaters, please do not kneel on the
seat or apply sharp pressure to a single point
on the seat cushion or backrest.
● Liquids, sharps objects and insulating ma-
teria
ls (e.g. covers or child seats) can damage
the seat heating.
● In the event of smells, switch off the seat
heating immedi
ately and have it inspected by
a specialised workshop. For the sake of the environment
The seat heating should remain on only when
needed. Otherw i
se, it is an unnecessary fuel
waste. 154
