Obser vethefo llowing points when selecting,
ins talling and replacing tires:
R Use only tires and wheels of the same type,
design (winter tires, all-season tire) and
make.
R Only ins tall wheels of the same size and tread
design on one axle (left and right).
It is only permissible toins tall a dif fere nt

R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e ins talled tires.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum per‐
missible speed, this must be indicated in an
appropriate label in the driver's field of vision.
R Break in new tires at moderate speeds forthe

The emer gency spa rewheel may only
be used temp orarily and must be

When using an emer gency spa rewheel
(which is dif fere nt from the wheel tobe
re placed) a top speed of 50 mph (80 km/h)
must not be exceeded.
R The tire pressure of the emer gency spa re

Immedia tely rinse su rfaces that come in
con tact wi thDEF when filling with water
or remo veDEF wi tha damp clo thand

If DEF has already cr ystallized, clean using a
spon geand cold water. If
yo u open the DEF tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapor may be released. Do not inhale
any ammonia vapor that may be released. Fill the
DEF tank only in well-ventilated areas.
DEF consum ption and filling capacity
DEF consum ption
Like fuel consum ption, DEF consum ption is highly
dependent upon driving style and operating con‐
ditions. DEF consum ption is usually within a
ra nge of 0 and 10% of the fuel consum ption. If
necessar y,DEF mu stbe refilled in acco rdance
with the instructions when there fill message is
displa yed in the instrument clus ter.This may also
be necessary between the scheduled mainte‐
nance.

The vehicle must be operated with DEF if the
ex haust gas af tertre atment sy stem is tofunction
cor rectl y.
If yo u operate theve hicle without DEF or with
emissions-rele vant malfunctions, the legal MOT
appr oval is in validated. The vehicle could be pro‐
hibited from public road use byan of ficial ordi‐
nance.
It may be improper or punishable in some coun‐
tries tooperate a vehicle that uses no DEF or one
th at does not comply with the specifications of
th ese operating instructions.
Engine management monitors theex haust gas
af te rtre atment components for compliance with
emissions la wsand regulations. If you attem ptto
operate theve hicle without DEF, with diluted DEF
or with a dif fere nt reducing agent, this will be
de tected bythe engine management sy stem.
Other emissions- releva nt malfunctions, e.g.
me tering malfunctions or sensor er rors, are also
de tected and log ged. The engine management sy
stem subsequently
pr eve nts the engine being restar ted af ter issuing
a wa rning message.
Therefore add DEF tank regular lyduring vehicle
