Notes on care ofvehicle parts
\nWARNINGRisk of entrapment ifthewindshield wipers are switched on whilethe windshield is being cleaned
Ifthe windshield wipers are set in motionwhileyou are cleaningthe windshield orwiper blades,you can be trappedbythewiper arm.
Always switch offthe windshield wipersandthe ignition before cleaningthewindshield or wiper blades.
\nWARNINGRisk of burning fromthetail‐pipe ortailpipe trim
Thetailpipe andtailpipe trim can becomeveryhot. Ifyou come into contact withthesecar parts,you could burnyourself.
Always be particularlycareful when inthe vicinity ofthetailpipe andtailpipetrims and supervisechildrenveryclosely when inthis area.
Before any contact, allowthe car partstocool down.

Pushthe plug of hose5intoflange6oftire sealant bottle1untilthe plug engages.
Place tire sealant bottle1head downwardsintorecess2ofthe tire inflation compres‐sor.
Removethevalve cap fromvalve7onthedefective tire.
Screwfilling hose8ontovalve7.
Insert plug4into a12V socket inyourvehicle.
Switchthe ignition on.
Press on and off switch3onthe tire infla‐tion compressor.The tire inflation compressor is switched on.The tire is inflated. First, tire sealant is pum‐ped intothe tire. The pressure may brieflyrisetoapproximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch offthe tire inflation compres‐sor duringthis phase.
Letthe tire inflation compressorrunfor amaximum often minutes.The tire shouldthen haveattained a tirepressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sureyou cleantheaffected area asquickly as possible. It is prefera‐bletouse clearwater.
Ifyouget tire sealant onyour clothing, haveitcleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy‐lene.
If, afterten minutes, a tire pressure of200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been ach‐ieved:
Switch offthe tire inflation compressor.
Unscrewthefilling hose fromthevalve ofthedefective tire.
Please notethat tire sealant may leak out whenunscrewingthefilling hose.
Driveforwards orreverseveryslowlyforapproximately 33ft(10 m).
Pump upthe tire again.After a maximum often minutesthe tirepressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
\nWARNINGRisk of accident duetothespecified tire pressure not beingreached
Ifthe specified tire pressure is notreachedafterthe specified time,the tire istoo badlydamaged. The tire sealant cannotrepairthetire inthis instance.

The systemchecksthe tire pressure andthe tiretemperature ofthe tires installed onthevehiclebymeans of a tire pressuresensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,are automaticallytaught-in duringthefirst jour‐neytheyare used.
The tire pressure andthe tiretemperatureappear inthe multifunction display(→page 390).
Ifthere is a substantial pressure loss or ifthetiretemperature isexcessive,you will bewarnedinthefollowingways:

The tire pressuremonitoring system is only anaid. It isthe driver'sresponsibilitytosetthe tirepressuretotherecommended cold tire pressuresuitableforthe operating situation. Setthe tirepressurefor cold tires using a tire pressuregauge.Notethatthe correct tire pressureforthecurrent operating situation mustfirst betaught-intothe tire pressure monitoring system.
In most cases,the tire pressure monitoring sys‐tem will automaticallyupdatethe newreferencevalues afteryou havechangedthe tire pressure.You can, however,also updatethereferenceval‐uesbyrestartingthe tire pressure monitoringsystem manually (→page 391).
System limitations
The system may be impaired or may not functioninthefollowing situations:

NOTEDamagecausedbythe wrong fuel
Even small amounts ofthe wrong fuel couldresult in damagetothe fuel system,theengine andthe emission control system.
Onlyrefuel with low-sulfur unleadedfuel.
This fuel may contain upto10%ethanolbyvolume.Yourvehicle is suitablefor use withE10 fuel.
Neverrefuel with one ofthefollowing fuels:
RDiesel
RGasoline with morethan10%ethanolbyvolume, e.g. E15, E85, E100
RGasoline with morethan 3% methanolbyvolume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100
RGasoline with additives containing metal
Ifyou haveaccidentallyrefueled withthewrong fuel:
Do not switchonthe ignition.
Consult aqualified specialistworkshop.
Iftheavailable fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐fur,this can produce unpleasant odors.
Onlyrefuel with fuelthat has at leastthe octanenumber specified inthe instruction label inthefuelfillerflap (→page154).
Ifyouwant maximum engine output:onlyrefuel with unleaded premium gradegasolinewith an octane number of at least91AKI/95RON.
As atemporary measure, iftherecommendedfuel is notavailable,you may alsorefuel withunleadedregulargasoline with at least87AKI/91RON. This mayreduce engine performanceand increase fuel consumption.
