-Dampen the lens with a household alcohol­
based glass cleaner, and clean the lens with a
dry cloth
~0 .
- Remove snow with a hand brush and ice pref­
erably with a de-icing spray
~ 0 .
A WARNING
-The parking aid cannot replace the driver's
attention. The driver alone is responsible for
parking and similar driving maneuvers.
-Always keep your eyes on the vehicle's sur­ roundings, using the rear view mirror as
well.
- Do not allow yourself to be distracted from
traffic by the rear view camera pictures.
- If the position and the installation angle of
the camera has changed, for example, after
a rear end collision, do not continue to use
the system for safety reasons . Have it
checked by a qualified dealership.
(D Note
-Low obstacles already signaled by a warning
can disappear from the system's detection
range as they are approached and will not
continue to be signaled. Objects such as
barrier chains, trailer draw bars, thin paint­
ed vertical poles or fences may not be de­
tected by the system, posing risk of dam­
age.
- Never use warm or hot water to remove
snow or ice from the rear view camera lens -
danger of crack formation on the lens!
- When cleaning the lens, never use products
that are abrasive.
Switching on /off
A pp lies to veh icles : w ith pa rking system (rear, wit h rear view
camera)
The rear view camera switches on automatically
together with the acoustic park assist when you
put the vehicle in reverse.
Switching on
... Put the vehicle in reverse gear, the acoustic
parking system with rear view camera is acti­
vated automatically. Activation of the acoustic
108
parking system is confirmed by a brief acknowl­
edgement sound.
Switching off
""Drive faster than 9 mph (15 km/h), or
""take the vehicle out of reverse gear. The acous­
tic parking system is immediately deactivated,
and the rear view camera picture is deactivated
automatically after a period of about 15 sec­
onds, or
... switch off the ignition.
The delay in deactivating the camera provides an uninterrupted view behind the vehicle especially
when maneuvering in tight parking spaces and prevents the picture from turning off the every
time you shift out of reverse .
If the warning message appears in the display
but not the rear view camera picture, read and
confirm the warning message . The acoustic dis­
tance signal is always active.
If you press a function button on the MMI control
console, the rear view camera picture disappears.
The rear view camera picture reappears the next
time you park.
Further information on the warning message and
the MMI control console can be found in the MMI
instruction booklet.
A WARNING
-Only use the rearview camera to assist you if
it shows a good, clear picture. For example,
the image may be affected by the sun shin­
ing into the lens, dirt on the lens or if there
is a defect.
- Use the rearview camera only with the rear
lid completely closed. Make sure any objects
you may have mounted on the rear lid do
not block the rearview camera.
@ Tips
-The rear view camera picture is available as
soon as the MMI Display or the MMI is
switched on, or the start-up phase is com­
pleted .
- The sensors must be kept clean and free of
snow and ice for the park assist to operate.

-To avoid being burned, do not spill anti­
freeze or coolant on the exhaust system or hot engine parts. Under certain condi­
tions, the ethylene glycol in engine cool­ ant can catch fire.
- Antifreeze is poisonous. Always store anti­
freeze in its original container and well out
of the reach of children.
- If you drain the coolant, it must be caught
and safely stored in a proper container
clearly marked "poison".
(D Note
-Do not add coolant if the expansion tank is
empty . Air could enter the cooling system
and damage the engine.
If this is the case,
do not continue driving. Seek professional
assistance.
- Coolant pollutes the environment and could
cause an engine fire. Excess coolant will be
forced out through the pressure relief valve
in the cap when the engine becomes hot.
-If, in an emergency, only water can be add­
ed, the correct ratio between water and an­
tifreeze c::>
page 196 must be restored as
soon as possible.
@) For the sake of the environment
Drained coolant should not be reused. Always
dispose of used coolant while observing all
environmental regulations.
Radiator fan
The radiator fan switches on automatically by it­
self.
The radiator fan is driven by the engine via the V­
belt . The viscous clutch regulates the speed of
the fan according to the temperature of the cool­
ant.
An auxiliary electric radiator fan* switches on and
off depending on coolant temperature and other
vehicle operating conditions.
After you switch the engine off, the auxiliary fan
can continue running for up to 10 minutes -even
Checking and Filling
with the ignition off. It can even switch on again
later by itself c::>
&, if
- the temperature of the engine coolant rises due
to the heat build-up from the engine in the en­
gine compartment, or
- the engine compartment heats up because the
vehicle is parked in intense sunlight.
A WARNING
-To reduce the risk of personal injury never
touch the radiator fan.
- The auxiliary electric fan is temperature
controlled and can switch on suddenly even
when the engine is not running.
- The auxiliary radiator fan switches on auto­
matically when the engine coolant reaches a
certain temperature and will continue to run
until the coolant temperature drops.
Brake fluid
Checking brake fluid level
The broke fluid level con be checked with o quick
glance .

Before you check anything in the engine compart ­
ment,
always read and heed all WARNINGS
c::> _.& in Working in the engine comportment on
page 191.
.,. Read the brake fluid level from the brake fluid
reservoir c::>fig.164,

Emergency assistance
Using the spare tire (compact spare tire)
The compact spare tire is only intended for emer­
genc ies until you can reach a repair shop. Repla ce
it as qu ickly as possible with a standard wheel
and tir e.
There are some restrictions on the use of the
compact spare tire. The compact spare tire has
been designed specifically for yo ur type of vehi­
cle. It must not be swapped with a compact
spare tire from another type of vehicle.
Snow chains
F or technica l reasons, the use of snow chains on
the compact spare tire is
not permitted .
If you do have to dr ive with snow cha ins and a
front tire fails, mo unt the spare wheel with t ire
instead of a rear tire. Install the snow chains on
the rear tire and use it to rep lace the defective
front tire .
A WARNING
-Never use the spare tire if it is damaged or if
it is worn down to the tread wear indicators.
-If the spare tire is more than 6 years o ld,
use it only in an emergency and with ex­
treme caution and carefu l dr iving .
- The spare tire is intended on ly for tempora­
ry and short-term use. It shou ld be replaced
as soon as possible with the normal wheel
and t ire.
- After mounting the compact spare t ire, the
t ir e pressure must be checked as soon as
poss ible. The tire pressure of the compact
spare tire must be 4.2 bar; otherwise, you
risk having an accident .
- Do not drive faster than SO mph (80 km/h).
You risk hav ing an accident.
- Avoid full-throttle accelerat ion, heavy brak­
ing, and fast cornering. You risk having an
acc ident.
- Never drive using more than one spare
wheel and tire. You risk having an accident .
- Normal summer or winter tires must not be
mounted on the compact spare wheel rim .
- For technical reasons, the use of tire chains
on the spare tire is not perm itted . If it is
226
necessary to drive with tire chains, the spare
wheel must be mounted on the front axle in
the event of a flat in a rear tire. The newly
ava ilable front wheel must then be installed
in place of the rear wheel w ith the flat tire.
Installing the tire chain before mounting
the wheel and tire is recommended.
- Loose items in the passenger compartment
can cause serious personal injury during
ha rd braking or in an accident. Never store
the spare tire or jack and tools in the pas­
senger compartment.
Replacing wheels
· Before changing a wheel

and your passenger's safety when changing a wheel.
.,. After you experience a tire failure, pull the car
well away from moving traffic and try to reach
level ground before you stop¢ A_.
.,. All passengers should leave the car and move
to a safe location (for instance, behind the
guardrail) ¢
&_.
.,. Engage the parking brake to prevent your vehi­
cle from rolling unintentionally ¢
A_.
.,. Shift into 1st gear on vehicles with manua l
transmission, or move the
selector lever to the
P position
on vehicles with automatic transmis­
sion.
.,. If you are towing a trailer: unhitch the trailer
from your vehicle.
.,. Take the
jack ¢ page 225 and the spare tire
