Pairing a device
Important information ● Up to ten devices can be paired to the system.
● Only one paired device can be connected to the Infotainment
system at a time.
● Pairing only needs to be carried out once, unless the device is
deleted from the list of paired
devices. If the device has been
connected previously, the
Infotainment system establishes
the connection automatically.
● Bluetooth operation considerably
drains the device's battery.
Therefore, connect the device to
the USB port for charging.
Pairing a new device 1. Activate the Bluetooth function of the Bluetooth device. For further
information, see the operating
instructions of the Bluetooth
device.
2. Press ; and then select
Settings on the display.
Select Bluetooth and then Device
Management to display the
respective menu.
Note
If no phone is connected, the Device
Management menu can also be
accessed via the phone menu: Press ; and then select Phone.
3. Touch Search Device . All
discoverable Bluetooth devices in
the environment are displayed in

182Driving and operatingDriving hints
Control of the vehicle
Never coast with engine not
running
Many systems will not function in this situation ( e.g. brake servo unit, power
steering). Driving in this manner is a
danger to yourself and others. All
systems function during an Autostop.
Stop-start system 3 185.
Idle boost
If charging of the vehicle battery is
required due to battery condition, the
power output of the generator must be increased. This will be achieved by an idle boost which may be audible.
A message appears in the Driver
Information Centre.
Pedals
To ensure the pedal travel is
uninhibited, there must be no mats in
the area of the pedals.Use only floor mats which fit properly
and are fixed by the retainers on the
driver's side.
Steering
If power steering assist is lost
because the engine stops or due to a system malfunction, the vehicle can
be steered but may require increased
effort.
Control indicator c 3 98.Starting and operating
New vehicle running-in
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
During the first drive, smoke may
occur because of wax and oil
evaporating off the exhaust system. Park the vehicle in the open for a
while after the first drive and avoid
inhaling the fumes.
During the running-in period, fuel and engine oil consumption may be
higher and the cleaning process of
the exhaust filter may take place more
often. Autostop may be inhibited to
allow for charging of the vehicle
battery.

244Vehicle careWasher fluid
Fill with clean water mixed with a
suitable quantity of approved
windscreen washer fluid which
contains antifreeze.
Caution
Only washer fluid with a sufficient
antifreeze concentration provides
protection at low temperatures or
a sudden drop in temperature.
Brakes
In the event of minimum thickness of
the brake lining, a squealing noise
sounds during braking.
Continued driving is possible but
have the brake lining replaced as
soon as possible.
Once new brake linings are installed,
do not brake unnecessarily hard for
the first few journeys.
Brake fluid9 Warning
Brake fluid is poisonous and
corrosive. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, fabrics and painted surfaces.
The brake fluid level must be betweenthe MIN and MAX marks.
If fluid level is below MIN seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Brake and clutch fluid 3 285.
Vehicle battery
The vehicle battery is maintenance-
free, provided that the driving profile
allows sufficient charging of the
battery. Short-distance-driving and
frequent engine starts can discharge
the battery. Avoid the use of
unnecessary electrical consumers.
