To reduce the risk of lime sca le deposits on the
spray nozzles, use clean water with low amounts
of calci um. Always add window cleaner to the wa­
t er. When the outside temper atures are co ld, an
anti-free zing agent should be added to the water
so that it does not freeze .
Cl) Note
-The concentration of anti-free zing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
conditions in the respective climate. A con ­
centration that is too high can lead to veh i­
cle damage .
- Never add rad iator anti -freeze or other addi ­
tives to the washer fluid .
- Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, beca use this could damage
the pa int.
Service interval display
The service interval display detects when your ve­
hicle is due for service.
Checking se rv ice intervals
You can check the rema ining distance or time un ­
til the next oil change or next inspection i n the
I nfotainment system .

If an o il cha nge or inspection is due, you can ac­
cess it i n the Infota inment system. The display
works in two stages :
-Se rv ice re mind er: after a certain distance is
dr iven, a message appears in the instrument
cluste r display eve ry t ime the ignition is switch­
ed on. The remaining d istance and time is dis­
played briefly .
-Serv ic e due : if your vehicle has reached a se rv­
ice in terva l, a message appears briefly after
sw itching the ignition on.
(D Note
- Only reset the oil change indicator if the oi l
was changed.
- Following the se rvice interva ls is cr itical to
ma inta ining the se rvice l ife and val ue of
yo ur vehicle, especially the engine. Even if
the mileage on the vehi cle is low, do not ex ­
ceed the time for the next service .
- Calc ulat ing the time to the next oil change
is interrupted when the vehicle battery is
disconnected.
If the vehicle is not driven for
a long period of time, check the mainte­
nance schedule so that you can fo llow the
maintenance intervals .

Wheel s
Bead separation
means a breakdown of the bond
between components in the bead .
Cord
means the strands forming the
plies in the tire.
Cold tire inflation pressure
means the tire pressure recom­
mended by the vehicle manufac­
turer for a tire of a designated
size that has not been driven for more than a couple of miles (kilo­
meters) at low speeds in the
three hour period before the tire
pressure is measured or adjusted.
Curb weight
means the weight of a motor ve­
hicle with standard equipment in­
cluding the maximum capacity of
fuel, oil, and coolant, air condi­
tioning and additional weight of
optional equipment.
E x tra load tire
means a tire designed to operate
at higher loads and at higher in­
flation pressures than the corre­ sponding standard tire . Extra load
tires may be identified as "XL",
"xl", "EXTRA LOAD", or "RF" on
the sidewal l.
320
Gross Axle Weight Rating
("GAWR ")
means the load-carrying capacity
of a single axle system, measured
at the tire -ground interfaces .
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(" GVWR ")
means the maximum total loaded
weight of the vehicle .
Groove
means the space between two ad­
jacent tread ribs .
Load rating (code )
means the maximum load that a
tire is rated to carry for a given in ­
flation pressure. You may not find
this information on all tires be­
cause it is not required by law.
Ma ximum load rating
means the load rating for a tire at
the maximum permissible infla­ tion pressure for that tire.
Ma ximum loaded vehicle
weight
means the sum of :
(a) Curb weight
(b) Accessory weight
(c) Vehicle capacity weight, and
(d) Production options we ight

Emergency situations
If you must lift your vehicle with a floor jack to
work underneath, be sure the vehicle is safely
supported on stands intended for this purpose .
Front lifting point
T he lift ing po int is loc ated on the floo r pan re in ­
for cement about at the same leve l as t he jack
mounting po int r=;,
fig. 279. Do not lift the veh i­
cle at the vertical sill re inforcement.
Rear lifting point
T he lift ing po int is loca ted on the vert ica l re in­
for cement of the lower sill fo r t he on b oard ja ck
r=:> fig. 280 .
Lifting with vehicle jack
Refer to r=;, page 347.
A WARNING
- To reduce the risk of ser io us injury and vehi­
cl e d amage.
- Always lift t he ve hicle only at the special
wo rkshop ho ist and floo r jack lift po ints il­
lustrated
r=;, fig . 279 a nd r=;, fig. 280.
- Fa ilure to lift the vehicle at these poin ts
could cause the vehicle to tilt or fa ll from
a lift if there is a change in vehicle weight
distr ibut io n and balance. This might hap­
pen, for exam ple, when heavy co mpo­
n e nts s uch as the engine b lock or tra ns­
mi ssio n are removed.
- When removing heavy components like
th ese, a nchor vehicle to hoist o r add cor re ­
s pon ding weigh ts t o ma in ta in t he ce nte r o f
gr avit y. Ot herwise, t he ve hicl e migh t tilt or
s lip
off the hoist, causing ser ious perso na l
injury .
(D Note
- Be awa re o f th e followi ng poi nts before li ft­
in g th e ve hicle:
-The vehicle should never be lifted or
jacked up from underneath the engine oil
pan, the transmiss ion housing, the front
or rear axle or the body side members .
This could lead to serious damage.
- To avoid damage to the underbody or
chassis frame, a rubber pad must be in-
360
serted between the floor jack and the lift
points.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist ,
check that the vehicle weight does not
exceed the permissible lifting capacity of
the hoist.
- Before driving over a workshop hoist , en­
sure that there is sufficient clearance be­
tween the hoist and low parts of the ve­
hicle .

Tech nical data
Gross Axle Weight Rating
The G ross Ax le We ight Rating is the max imum
load that can be applied at each axle of the vehi ­
cle ¢& .
Vehicle capacity weight The vehicle capacity we ight (max. load) is l isted
on the front end of the dr iver's door.
_& WARNING
- T he ac tual Gross Axle Weight Rating a t the
front and rear axles sho uld not exceed the
permissible weights, and their combination
must not exceed the Gross Veh icle Weight
Rating.
- Exceeding pe rmissible weight ratings can
result in ve hicle damage, acc idents and per­
sonal injury.
{[) Note
- The vehicle capacity weight figures app ly
when the load is distributed eve nly in the
vehicle (passengers and luggage). When
transporting a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, carry the load as near to the
r ear axle as possible so that the vehicle's
handling is not impaired.
- Do not exceed the maximum permissible
axle loads or the maximum gross vehicle
weight. Always remember tha t the vehicle's
h andling w ill be affe cted by the ext ra load.
T herefo re, adjust yo ur sp eed a ccording ly.
- Always obse rve loca l reg ulations.
