Checking and topping up fluids
Coolant additive
The coolant additive contains anti-freeze and cor­
rosion protection agent. Only use one of the
fol­

lowing coolant additives. It is possible to mix
these additives.

The amount of coolant additive which needs to
be mixed with the water depends on the temper­
atures to be expected in the winter season. If the
anti-freeze concentration is too Low, the coolant
can freeze and cause engine damage.

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.

ment.
Checking coolant level

•
Park the vehicle on a level surface.

•
Switch off the ignition.

•
Read off the coolant level on the coolant ex­
pansion tank
^>Fig.
248. When the engine is

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
anti-clock­

wise
<=>
/K.

*-
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.

Checking and topping up fluids
© CAUTIO
-The anti-freeze concentration must be
matched to the climate of the country in
which you are driving. If the concentration
is too
high,
damage to the car may result.
- Never put in radiator anti-freeze or other
additives.
- Never use washer fluid which contains paint
thinners or solvents as it can damage the
paintwork.
Service interval display

The
service interval display detects when the
next
service
is due
for
your vehicle.
There are two service interval dispLay levels:
- Inspection or oil change reminder: After a cer­
tain mileage, a service reminder will appear in
the instrument cluster dispLay each time the ig­
nition is switched on/off. The distance or time
remaining will be shown briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: When your
vehi­

cle is due for an inspection, oil change or
both,

the corresponding reminder Inspection
due!,

Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection

due!
will appear briefly after you switch the ig­
nition on/off.
Checking the service intervals
On the infotainment system, you can look up the
distance and time remaining until the next oil
change or next service inspection. Select the
fol­

lowing on the infotainment system:

Service intervals.

Applies
to: vehicles with flexible oil change service
You cannot check the service interval on a new
vehicle until it has been driven for about 500 km.
Qualified workshops reset the service interval af­
ter the oil is changed. The distance to the next oil
change is initially displayed based on the driving
profile prior to the oil change. Your own personal
driving profile is used subsequently to calculate
the remaining distance. Frequent cold starts or
short trips place extra demands on the engine oil
with the result that the oil has to be changed
more often.
Resetting the display
Your qualified workshop resets the service inter­
val display after each service.
It is very important that you reset the oil change
dispLay if
you
change the oil yourself. The
next
oil
change will be due after
a
fixed service interval.
To reset the display, select the following on the
infotainment system:
|MENU|

tervals
>
Reset oil change interval.

(J) CAUTION

- Do not reset the oil change interval display
unless you have changed the oil.
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is
crucial for the operation, service life and re­
sidual value of the vehicle (and especially
for the life of the engine). Services must al­
ways be carried out promptly, even if the
mileage is Low.

Mobility
- Change clothing immediately if it becomes
soiled with the tyre sealant.
- If any allergic reactions should occur get
medical help immediately.
- Keep the sealant away from children.

©
Note
- If sealant should leak out, leave it to dry.
When it has dried, you can pull it off like a
piece of
foil.

- Observe the expiry date stated on the
seal­

ing compound can. Have the sealing com­
pound exchanged by
a
qualified workshop.
- Interference to the radio reception may oc­
cur when using the compressor*.
- Please observe the relevant regulations.

Important: The tyre repair kit must be at hand
and ready for use

Filling the tyre

•
Shake the tyre sealant can
well.

•
Screw the enclosed filling hose onto the sealant
can as far as it will go. This will automatically
pierce the foil sealing the can.
• Take the valve cap off the tyre valve and use the
enclosed valve insert tool to unscrew the valve

insert
^F/'g.
258.
• Place the valve insert onto a clean surface.
• Remove the sealing plug from the filling hose
and insert the hose into the tyre valve.
• Hold the tyre sealant can upside down and fill
the complete contents into the tyre.
• Then disconnect the filling hose and screw the
valve insert firmly back into the tyre valve.
Inflating the tyre
• Screw the compressor hose (from the tyre re­
pair kit) onto the tyre valve and plug the
con­

nector into an electrical socket in the vehicle.
• Pump the tyre up to 2.0 to 2.5 bar and monitor
the pressure shown on the pressure gauge.
• If the tyre pressure remains lower than the
val­

ue specified above, remove the hose and drive
10 metres forwards or backwards at
a
low
speed so that the sealant can spread evenly in
the tyre. Now pump the tyre up again
o
A.
A WARNING
- Please observe the manufacturers' safety
notes on the compressor and the instruc­
tions supplied with the tyre sealant can.
- If it was not possible to build up a tyre pres­
sure of 2.0 bar within six minutes this
means that the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive on.
- Seek professional assistance if the repair of
a tyre puncture is not possible with the
seal­

ing compound.
© Note
Do not use the compressor for longer than
6 minutes at
a
time, as it could overheat.
When the compressor has cooled down, you
can use it again.
After repairing a tyre
Applies to: vehicles with tyre repair kit
• Affix the sticker "max. 80
km/h",
which is
inclu­

ded in the tyre repair kit, to the dashboard
where the driver will see it.
• After about 10 minutes, stop to check the tyre
pressure.
• If tyre pressure is less than 1.3 bar, the tyre is
too badly damaged. Do not drive on.
A WARNING
After repairing a tyre please note the follow-
ng points:
