Fig.
208 Adjust seat and sit in correct position
For your own safety, and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of an accident, we recommend
the following driving position.

•
Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel so
there is a distance of at least 25 cm between
your breastbone and the centre of the steering

wheel
o>F/g.
208.

•
Adjust the height and fore/aft position of the
driver's seat so that you are able to press the
pedals to the floor without fully straightening
your legs
oA.

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

*•
Adjust the longitudinal position of the steering
wheel so that your arms are slightly bent and
you can read the dials and instruments easily.

•
Make sure that you can comfortably reach the
top of the steering wheel.

•
AppLies to adjustable head restraints: Adjust
the head restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is
level
with the top of your head. If
this is not possible, try to adjust the head re­
straint as near as possible to this position.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^>page
275.

•
Keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in
full controL of the vehicle at all times.
For detailed information on how to adjust the
driver's seat, see
^>page
58, Front seats.
A WARNING
A driver who is not sitting in the correct
posi­

tion or who is not wearing a seat belt can be
fatally injured
if
the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the driver's seat and steering wheel
so there is a distance of at least 25 cm be­
tween your breastbone and the centre of the
steering wheel
^>Fig.
208.
-While driving, always hold the steering
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
rim at about the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock
posi­

tion.
This reduces the risk of injury if the
driver's airbag inflates.
- Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in­

flates.

- To reduce any risk of injury to the driver dur­
ing a sudden brake application or in an
acci­

dent, never drive with the backrest tilted
too far back. The airbag system and seat
belts can only provide proper protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the driver is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing
or an incorrect sitting position.
- Adjust the head restraint properly so that it
can give maximum protection.
Correct position for the front passenger

The
front seat passenger must sit at least 25 cm
away from the dash panel so that the airbag has
enough room to inflate and give maximum pro­
tection in an accident.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of in­
jury in the event of
an
accident, we recommend
adjusting the front passenger's seat as follows:

•
Adjust the backrest to an upright position so
that your back remains in contact with the up­
holstery.

•
Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the
head restraint is level with the top of your

Checking and topping up fluids
months so that you can continue to operate your
vehicle reliably. Ask at your filling station wheth­
er the diesel fuel available there is suitable for
the current conditions and for the temperatures
which could potentially occur.
© CAUTION
- Never use FAME fuels (biodiesel), petrol,
heating oil, thinners or any other fuels or
additives, as these could cause serious dam­
age to the fuel system and the engine.
- Never start the engine if
you
fill up with the
wrong type of
fuel,
as this could damage
the fuel system and the engine. Obtain pro­
fessional assistance.

ed
Fig.

•
Unscrew the tank cap anti-clockwise.

•
Hook the cap onto the open flap
•=>
Fig.

Closing the tank cap

•
Screw on the tank cap clockwise until
it
clicks
audibly.

•
Close the tank flap. Make sure you hear
it
click
into place.
When the automatic filler nozzle is operated cor­
rectly
it
will switch itself off
as
soon as the tank
is
fulL.
Do not try to put in more fuel after the
nozzle cuts out, as this will fill the expansion
chamber in the fuel tank.
The correct fuel grade for your vehicle is given on
a sticker on the inside of the tank flap. Further
notes on fuel

The tank capacity of your vehicLe is given in the
Technical data section

A WARNING
Fuel is highly inflammable and can cause
seri­

ous burns and other injuries.
- For safety reasons we do not recommend
carrying a spare fuel canister in the vehicle.
The canister could become damaged in an
accident and Leak.
- Observe all relevant statutory regulations
on using, storing and transporting spare
fuel canisters.
- When filling your tank or
a
spare fuel canis­
ter with
fuel,
do not smoke and keep away
from naked flames
-
risk of explosion!
- If, in exceptional circumstances, you have
to

carry
a
spare fuel canister, please observe
the following warnings:
- Never
filL
fuel into the spare fuel canister
with the canister placed in or on top of the
vehicLe. An electrostatic charge could
build up during filling, causing the fuel va­
pour to ignite
-
risk of explosion! Always
place the canister on the ground to fill
it.

- Insert the filler nozzle as far as possibLe
into the spare fuel canister.
-
If
the spare fuel canister is made of metal,
the filler nozzle must be in contact with
the canister during filling. This helps pre­
vent an electrostatic charge building up.

The AdBlue filler neck is located immediately be­
side the diesel filler neck. Add at least the
amount of AdBlue displayed in the instrument
cluster. If
you
do not refill this amount of
fluid,

the system may not detect that the tank has
been refilled and it may not be possible to restart
the engine. You can refill with a maximum of 12

litres.

Important: A message in the instrument cluster
display informs you if
you
need to refill AdBlue.

A WARNING
AdBlue can cause irritation to the
skin,
eyes,
and respiratory organs. Wash thoroughly with
clean water should you come into contact
with this
fluid.
Seek medical assistance if nee­

ded.

© CAUTION
- Use only
AdBLue
that complies with the ISO
22241-1 standard. Do not mix AdBlue with
additives and do not dilute it with water.
- AdBlue must not be added to the diesel
tank, and diesel must not be added to the
AdBlue tank. Never start the engine if you
fill up with the wrong type of
fuel,
as this
could damage the tank system and the en­

gine.
Obtain professional assistance.
-AdBlue attacks surfaces such as paintwork,
plastic veneer and carpets. Remove spilt
flu­

id as soon as possible with a damp cloth and
plenty of water. If the AdBlue has already

solidified,
use warm water and a sponge.
Residues of AdBlue solidify after
a
while if
they are not removed and can damage the
affected surface.
- Do not keep refill bottles or canisters in the
vehicle, as AdBlue can leak and damage the
vehicle interior.
- Keep AdBlue away from clothing. Wash
thoroughly with clean water should you
come into contact with this
fluid.

This process can take several minutes.
• If the AdBlue tank had run dry and a range of
0 km was shown on the display, switch on the
ignition for approx. 30 seconds before starting
the engine.

CAUTION
- Have your qualified workshop check the
cooling system before the winter season to
make sure that the anti-freeze concentra­
tion is adequate for the conditions to be ex­

pected.
This applies particularly if
you
drive
into a colder climate zone.
- To prevent damage to the engine, do not
use a different type of anti-freeze additive if
the approved type of additive is not availa­

ble.
In this case use only water and bring
the coolant concentration back up to the
correct level as soon as possible by putting
in the specified additive.
- Always top up with fresh, unused coolant.
- Radiator sealants must not be added to the
coolant.

Switch off the ignition.

•
Read off the coolant level on the coolant ex­
pansion tank

cold,
the coolant level should be between the
marks. When the engine is warm, it may be
slightly above the top mark.
Topping up coolant
Important: The coolant expansion tank must not
be empty

•
Wait for the engine to cool down.

•
Cover the cap on the expansion tank with a

cloth,
and carefully unscrew the cap

*-
Add coolant in the correct concentration

tapage
299 up to the top mark.

•
You should make sure that the fluid level re­
mains stable. If necessary, add more coolant.

•
Screw the cap on again tightly.
Any loss of coolant normally indicates a Leak in
the cooling system. Drive to a qualified workshop
without delay and have the cooling system

checked.
If there are no leaks in the system, a
loss of coolant can only occur if the coolant boils
and is forced out of the system as a result of
overheating.
