What type of fuel should be used for petrol engines?

Only use unleaded fuel that complies with DIN EN 228. Equivalent standardised fuels with an ethanol content of max. 10 % by volume may be used. In this case only use fuel that complies with DIN 51625. Use fuel with the recommended octane rating. Use of fuel with too low an octane rating can reduce engine power and torque and slightly increases fuel consumption.


What could happen if fuel with too low of an octane rating is used?

Use of fuel with too low an octane rating could lead to uncontrolled combustion and engine damage.


What type of fuel should be used for diesel engines?

Only use diesel fuel that complies with DIN EN 590. The fuel must have low sulphur content (max. 10 ppm). Equivalent standardised fuels with a biodiesel (= FAME according to EN14214) content of max. 7% by volume (like DIN 51628 or equivalent standards) may be used. Country-specific exception for Morocco: use Diesel 50 ppm only. Do not use marine diesel oils, heating oils or entirely or partially plant-based diesel fuels, such as rape seed oil or bio diesel, Aquazole and similar diesel-water emulsions. Diesel fuels must not be diluted with fuels for petrol engines. The flow and filterability of diesel fuel are temperature-dependent. When temperatures are low, refuel with diesel fuel with guaranteed winter properties.


What should be done before refuelling?

Before refuelling, switch off the engine and any external heaters with combustion chambers and any mobile phones. Follow the operating and safety instructions of the filling station when refuelling.


What dangers should be avoided when refueling?

Fuel is flammable and explosive. No smoking, no naked flames or sparks.

What should be done before attaching a trailer?

Before attaching a trailer, lubricate the coupling ball, unless a stabiliser is being used.


What is recommended for trailers with low driving stability?

  • For trailers with low driving stability and trailers with a permitted gross vehicle weight of more than 1400 kg the use of a stabiliser is strongly recommended when driving above 50 mph (80 km/h).
  • If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the steering and brake sharply if necessary.
  • When driving downhill, drive in the same gear as if driving uphill and drive at a similar speed.
  • Adjust tyre pressure to the value specified for full load.

What are the conditions for permissible trailer loads?

The permissible trailer loads are vehicle-dependent and engine-dependent maximum values which must not be exceeded. The actual trailer load is the difference between the actual gross weight of the trailer and the actual coupling socket load with the trailer coupled. The permissible trailer loads are specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients up to max. 12 %. The permitted trailer load applies up to the specified incline and up to an altitude of 3300 ft (1000 metres) above sea level. Since engine power decreases as altitude increases due to the air becoming thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability, the permissible gross train weight also decreases by 10 % for every 3300 ft (1000 metres) of additional altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be reduced when driving on roads with slight inclines (less than 8 %, e.g. motorways).


What is important to know about vertical coupling load?

The vertical coupling load is the load exerted by the trailer on the coupling ball. It can be varied by changing the weight distribution when loading the trailer. The maximum permissible vertical coupling load (85 kg) is specified on the towing equipment identification plate and in the vehicle documents. Always aim for the maximum load, especially in the case of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.


What is important to know about the rear axle load when towing a trailer?

When the trailer is coupled and the towing vehicle fully loaded, the permissible rear axle load (see identification plate or vehicle documents) may be exceeded by 90 kg for the Saloon/Hatchback and 85 kg for the Estate, the gross vehicle weight rating may be exceeded by 65 kg for the Saloon/Hatchback and 60 kg for the Estate. If the permissible rear axle load is exceeded, a maximum speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) applies.


What should be done with the folding coupling ball bar when driving without a trailer?

The folding coupling ball bar cannot be removed from the vehicle. When driving without a trailer, fold in the coupling ball bar.

When should winter tyres be fitted?

Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels.


How often should tyre pressure be checked?

Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any long journey. Do not forget the spare wheel. Unscrew the valve cap.


Where can you find the recommended tyre pressure?

Tyre pressure data can be found and on the label on the front left door frame. The tyre pressure data refers to cold tyres and applies to summer and winter tyres. Always inflate the spare tyre to the pressure specified for full load.


What can result from incorrect tyre pressures?

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel economy and will increase tyre wear. If the pressure is too low, this can result in considerable tyre warm-up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre blow-out at high speeds.


What should you do if the tyre pressure must be reduced or increased on a vehicle with a tyre pressure monitoring system?

Switch off the ignition.


How does the tyre pressure monitoring system work?

The tyre pressure monitoring system checks the pressure of all four wheels once a minute when vehicle speed exceeds a certain limit. All wheels must be equipped with pressure sensors and the tyres must have the prescribed pressure. The current tyre pressures can be shown in the Vehicle Information Menu in the Driver Information Center. The menu can be selected by the buttons on the turn signal lever. Press the MENU button to select the Vehicle Information Menu. Turn the adjuster wheel to select the tyre pressure monitoring system.

What should be done after changing wheels for the tyre pressure monitoring system to recalibrate?

After changing wheels the vehicle has to be stationary for approx. 20 minutes before the system recalculates. The following relearn process takes up to 10 minutes of driving with a minimum speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). In this case $ can be displayed or pressure values can swap in the Driver Information Center. If problems occur during the relearn process a warning message is displayed in the Driver Information Center.


How does temperature affect tyre pressure and how does the monitoring system compensate?

Cold tyres decrease the tyre pressure, warm tyres increase the tyre pressure. The tyre pressure monitoring system considers this effect for the warning messages. The tyre pressure value displayed in the Driver Information Center shows the actual tyre pressure. Therefore it is important to check tyre pressure with cold tyres.


When should tyres be replaced?

Tyres should be replaced for safety reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm (4 mm for winter tyres). The legally permissible minimum tread depth (1.6 mm) has been reached when the tread has worn down as far as one of the tread wear indicators (TWI), which are indicated by markings on the sidewall. If there is more wear at the front than the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels, ensuring that the direction of rotation of the wheels is the same as before. Tyres age, even if they are not used and it is recommended tyre replacement every 6 years.


What should be done when changing tyre and wheel size?

If tyres of a different size than those fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the speedometer as well as the nominal tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications. After converting to a different tyre size, have the label with tyre pressures replaced.


What kind of wheel covers should be used?

Wheel covers and tyres that are factory approved for the respective vehicle and comply with all of the relevant wheel and tyre combination requirements must be used. If the wheel covers and tyres used are not factory approved, the tyres must not have a rim protection ridge. Wheel covers must not impair brake cooling.

How do you use the tyre repair kit?

  1. Take the tyre repair kit from the compartment.
  2. Remove the compressor.
  3. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the stowage compartments on the underside of the compressor.
  4. Screw the compressor air hose to the connection on the sealant bottle.
  5. Fit the sealant bottle into the retainer on the compressor, setting the compressor near the tyre in such a way that the sealant bottle is upright.
  6. Unscrew valve cap from defective tyre.
  7. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve.
  8. The switch on the compressor must be set to J.
  9. Connect the compressor plug to the power outlet or cigarette lighter socket, recommending to avoid discharging the battery, running the engine.
  10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled with sealant.
  11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to 6 bar whilst the sealant bottle is emptying (approx. 30 seconds), then the pressure starts to drop.
  12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre, then the tyre is inflated.
  13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within 10 minutes. When the correct pressure is obtained, switch off the compressor. If the prescribed tyre pressure is not obtained within 10 minutes, remove the tyre repair kit, move the vehicle one tyre rotation, reattach the tyre repair kit and continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre pressure is still not obtained, the tyre is too badly damaged and you should seek the assistance of a workshop. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button over the pressure indicator and do not run the compressor for longer than 10 minutes.
  14. Detach the tyre repair kit, push catch on bracket to remove sealant bottle from bracket, screw tyre inflation hose to free connection of sealant bottle to prevent sealant from escaping, and stow tyre repair kit in load compartment.
  15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.
  16. Take the label indicating maximum permitted speed from the sealant bottle and affix in the driver’s field of view.
  17. Continue driving immediately so that sealant is evenly distributed in the tyre. After driving approx. 6 miles (10 km), but no more than 10 minutes, stop and check tyre pressure, screwing compressor air hose directly onto tyre valve and compressor when doing this. If tyre pressure is more than 1.3 bar, set it to the correct value and repeat the procedure until there is no more loss of pressure. If the tyre pressure has fallen below 1.3 bar, the vehicle must not be used and assistance from a workshop should be sought.
  18. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.

What should you note when using the tyre repair kit?

  • The driving characteristics of the repaired tyre is severely affected, therefore have this tyre replaced.
  • If unusual noise is heard or the compressor becomes hot, turn compressor off for at least 30 minutes.
  • The built-in safety valve opens at a pressure of 7 bar.
  • Note the expiry date of the kit, because after this date its sealing capability is no longer guaranteed and pay attention to storage information on sealant bottle.
  • Replace the used sealant bottle and dispose of the bottle as prescribed by applicable laws.
  • The compressor and sealant can be used from approx. -30 °C.
  • The adapters supplied can be used to pump up other items e.g. footballs, air mattresses, inflatable dinghies etc and are located on the underside of the compressor. To remove, screw on compressor air hose and withdraw adapter.

What preparations and information should be observed before changing a wheel?

  • Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-slippery surface with the front wheels in the straight-ahead position.
  • Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or P.
  • Remove the spare wheel.
  • Never change more than one wheel at once.
  • Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not for seasonal winter or summer tyre change.
  • If the ground on which the vehicle is standing is soft, a solid board (max. 0.4 inches (1 cm) thick) should be placed under the jack.
  • No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
