Emission controL
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded pet­

rol,
otherwise the catalytic converter will be ir­
reparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfir­

ing.
This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust

system,
which can cause overheating and dam­
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost
all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In
normal driving conditions the filter is self-clean­

ing.
Should the self-cleaning function of the filter
not be able to operate, e.g. when the vehicle is
continuously used only for short trips, the filter
becomes obstructed with soot and the indicator

A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the
vehi­

cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission controL system, do not
park the vehicle where the exhaust can
come into contact with flammable materials
under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest
edge) - risk of fire!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the
area around the exhaust system - risk of

fire!

Engine compartment
Working on components in the engine
compartment
Extra caution is necessary when working on com­
ponents in the engine compartment.
Always be aware of the danger of injury and
scalding as well as the risk of accident or fire
when working in the engine compartment (e.g.
when checking and refilling fluids). Always ob­
serve the warnings listed below and follow all
normal safety precautions. The engine compart­
ment of any motor vehicle is a potentially haz­
ardous area
oA-

A WARNING
- Switch off the engine.
-Switch off the ignition.

-Applythe
parking brake.
- On vehicles with manual gearbox place the
gear lever in neutral, on vehicles with auto­
matic gearbox move the selector lever to
position P.
- To avoid the risk of being scalded, never
open the bonnet if
you
see steam or coolant
escaping from the engine compartment.
Wait until no steam or coolant can be seen
before opening the bonnet.
- Wait for the engine to cool down.
- Keep children away from engine compart­
ment.
- Never spill fluids on a hot engine. These
flu­

ids can cause a fire (e.g. radiator
anti­

freeze).
- Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrical system.
- When working in the engine compartment
be aware that the radiator fan may start
running suddenly, even if the ignition is
switched off - risk of injury!
- Do not unscrew the cap on the expansion
tank when the engine is hot. The cooling
system is under pressure.
- Protect face, hands and arms by covering
the cap with a large, thick rag to protect
against escaping coolant and steam.

Checking and topping up fluids
- Never remove the engine cover panel - risk
of burns!
- If any tests have to be performed with the
engine running, there is an extra safety risk
from the rotating parts, such as the drive

belts,
alternator and radiator
fan,
etc., and
from the high-voltage ignition system.
- Never touch the radiator fan. The electric
additional fan is controlled by temperature
and can start running without warning.
- Applies to vehicles with automatic gearbox:
Never open the throttle inadvertently (for
instance by hand from the engine compart­
ment) if
a
gear is engaged while the vehicle
is stationary with the engine running. The
vehicle will otherwise start moving immedi­
ately and could cause an accident.
- Observe the following additional warnings if
work on the fuel system or the electrical
system is necessary:
- Do not smoke.
- Never work near naked flames.
- Always keep an approved fire extinguisher
immediately available.
- Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicle entails a risk of injury
and chemical burns in addition to danger of
accident or fire.
For
this reason, you must
have the work carried out by
a
qualified
workshop.
© CAUTION
When topping up fluids make sure the correct
fluid is put into the correct filler opening. This
can otherwise cause serious malfunctions or
engine damage.
® For the sake of the environment
Inspect the ground underneath your vehicle
regularly so that any Leaks are detected at an
early stage. If
you
find spots of oil or other

fluids,
have your vehicle inspected in the
workshop.

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.

•
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.

General warnings for batteries
Because of the complexity of the power supply,
any battery work, such as disconnection, replace­
ment, etc. must be carried out by
a
qualified
workshop
^A-

The term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
Explanation of warnings on vehicle battery:

m

Wear safety glasses!
Battery acid is extremely corrosive. Wear
protective gloves and safety glasses.

A

Keep open flames, sparks, uncovered
Lights and lit cigarettes away from the
battery!
A highly explosive mixture of gases may

~\
be given off when the battery is under
charge!
Keep children away from batteries and
battery
acid.

A WARNING
Any work on the batteries and electrical sys­
tem in your vehicLe entails a risk of injury and
chemical burns in addition to danger of
acci­

dent or fire. For this reason, you must have
the work carried out by a qualified workshop.

CA UTION

If the car is left standing for long periods,
protect the battery from frost. The battery
will be damaged irreparably if it is allowed to
freeze

tery.

Vehicle battery

The
term "vehicle battery" refers to the 12 Volt
battery in your vehicle.
If the vehicle is not used for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period
^>page
149. Certain convenience fea­

tures,
such as interior lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine.
Even though some systems are deactivated auto­
matically, certain electrical equipment continues
to draw current even when the ignition is off. If
the vehicLe is left standing for long periods, this
can result in total battery discharge. If the
vehi­

cle battery is allowed to discharge completely, an
internal
chemicaL
reaction damages the battery
irreparably. To avoid this, the vehicle battery
should be recharged at Least once a month

^>page
303. PLease contact a qualified workshop
if
you
have any questions.
Winter conditions
Cold weather is very hard on the vehicle battery.
The starting capacity may be reduced as a result.
For this reason, you should have the vehicle bat­
tery checked by
a
qualified workshop before the
start of winter.

A WARNING
- A highly explosive mixture of gases may be
given off when the battery is under charge.
Only charge the vehicle battery in a well
ventilated area.
- When it is discharged the vehicle battery
can freeze at temperatures around 0°C. You
must not use a vehicle battery which has

frozen,
even after it has thawed, because
the ice may have cracked the battery casing
and allowed the battery acid to escape - risk
of explosion and chemical burns! Please
contact
a
qualified workshop if
you
have any
questions.
- Do not connect or disconnect the charging
cables during the charging process - risk of

explosion!

Concealed damage
Damage to tyres and rims is often not readily
visi­

ble.
If you notice unusual vibrations
or
the car
pulling to one side, this may indicate that one of
the tyres is damaged. Reduce your speed imme­
diately. Inspect the tyres for damage. If no exter­
nal damage is visible, drive slowly and carefully
to the nearest qualified workshop and have the
car inspected.
A WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!

Care of vehicle and cleaning
Care of vehicLe and
cleaning
General notes
Regular and careful care helps to maintain the
value of the vehicLe. This may also be one of the
requirements for upholding any warranty claims
in the event of corrosion or paint defects.
Qualified workshops carry stocks of suitable car
care products. PLease
foLLow
the instructions for
use on the packaging.
A WARNING
- Cleaning products and other materials used
for car care can damage health if misused.
- Car care products can contain toxic substan­
ces and must always be kept in a safe place
out of reach of children.

+) For
the sake of the environment
- Please choose care products that are not
harmful to the environment.
- Surplus cleaning materials should not be
disposed of together with ordinary house­
hold waste.
Washing the vehicle
The longer residues like insects, bird droppings,
resinous tree sap or road salt are alLowed to re­
main on the vehicle, the more damage they can
do to the paintwork. High temperatures (for in­
stance in direct sunlight) further intensify the
damage.
Before washing, soak heavy dirt with plenty of
water.
Stubborn dirt, such as bird droppings or resinous
tree sap, is best removed with plenty of water
and a micro-fibre cloth.
After the period when salt is put on the roads,
have the underside of the vehicLe washed thor­
oughly.
High-pressure cleaners
When cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner, always follow the operating instructions
for the equipment. This applies particularly to
the operating pressure and the spraying dis­

tance.
Do not point the spray jet directly at the
seals on the windows, doors, boot lid, bonnet or
panorama sun roof*, or at the tyres, rubber ho­

ses,
insulating material, sensors* or camera
len­

ses*.
Maintain a distance of at least 40 cm.
Do not use a high-pressure cleaner to remove
snow and ice.
Never use high-pressure cleaners with a round-
jet nozzle or "dirt blasters".
The water must not be hotter than 60 °C.
Automatic car washes
Spray the vehicle with water before washing.
Ensure that the windows and panorama sun roof*
are closed and that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. Follow the car wash operator's rules
and recommendations, especially if any accesso­
ries are attached to your vehicle.
If possibLe use a brushless car wash.
Washing by hand
Clean the car with a soft sponge or brush, start­
ing on the roof and working down. Use solvent-
free cleaning agents.
Washing matt-painted vehicles by hand
To avoid damaging the paintwork when washing
the car, first remove any dust, sand and grit. In­

sects,
grease stains and fingerprints are best re­
moved using a special cleaning agent for matt-
painted surfaces.
Apply the product with a micro-fibre cloth. Do
not apply too much pressure to avoid damaging
the paintwork.
Rinse the car thoroughly with water. Then clean
the car with a neutral shampoo and a soft micro-
fibre cloth.
Rinse the car with lots of water again and then
let it dry in the air. Remove any water stains with
a chamois. •
