WARNING Risk ofexplosion from a fro‐
zen battery
A dischar ged battery may freeze at temp era‐
tures slightly abo veor below freezing point.
During starting assis tance or battery charg‐
ing, bat tery gas can be released. #
Alw ays allow a battery tothaw before
ch arging it or per form ing starting assis‐
ta nce. If
th e indicator/warning lamps in the instrument
clus ter do not light up at low temp eratures, it is
ve ry likely that the dischar ged battery has fro‐
zen. In this case you may neither jump-s tart the
ve hicle nor charge the batter y.
The service life of a battery that has been
th awe d may be dramatically shor tened. The
st arting characteristics may be impaired, espe‐
cially at low temp eratures.

WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (/ page 265).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. Only cor
rect tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr avelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
te mp erature of the tyres increases, so too does
th e tyre pressure.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: you can also check the tyre pressure using
th e on-board computer. Ty
re pressure table The tyre pressure
table is on the inside of the
fuel filler flap. If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pres‐
sure,
thefo llowing tyre pressure information is
only valid forth ose tyre sizes and their respec‐
tive load condition.
If th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
