Intelligent technology
the standard tyres. Nevertheless, we still recom
mend that winter tyres or all-season tyres should
be fitted on all four wheels when winter road
conditions are expected, mainly because this will
give a better braking response.
Snow chains
On roads where snow chains are mandatory, this
also applies to cars with four-wheel drive
Opcrge
309, Snow chains.
Replacing tyres
On vehicles with four-wheel drive, all four tyres
must have the same rolling circumference. Also
avoid using tyres with varying tread depths

New wheels or tyres.
Off-roader?
Some models do not have enough ground clear
ance to be used on rough tracks and uneven ter
rain,
so it is best to avoid off-road driving.
A WARNING
- Even with four-wheel drive, you should al
ways adjust your speed to suit the condi
tions.
Do not let the extra safety provided
tempt you into taking any risks when driving
- this can cause accidents.
- The braking ability of your car is limited by
the grip of the tyres. In this respect, your
car is no different from a car without four-
wheel drive. So do not be tempted to drive
too fast on icy or slippery roads just because
the car still has good acceleration in these
conditions - risk of accident!
- On wet roads bear in mind that the front
wheels may start to "aquaplane" and lose
contact with the road if the car is driven too
fast. If this should happen, there will be no
sudden increase in engine speed to warn the
driver, as with a front-wheel drive car. So do
not drive too fast in the wet: adjust your
speed to suit the conditions (accident risk).

Power management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The
power management controls the distribu
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that there is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If
a
vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for
a
long time, the vehicle battery
will gradually lose its charge because certain
electrical equipment (such as the immobiliser)
continues to draw current even when the ignition
is off. In some cases there may not be enough
power available to start the engine.
Your vehicLe is equipped with an intelligent pow
er management system to control the distribu
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the vehicle battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re
sidual current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis
ters the condition of the vehicle battery. Sensors
detect the battery voltage, battery current and
battery temperature. This enables the system to
calculate the current power level and charge
con
dition of the vehicle battery.
Residual current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It
con
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power Level of the vehicle bat
tery, the individual electrical components are
switched off one after the other to prevent the
vehicle battery from losing too much charge and
to ensure that the engine can be started reliably. •

Navigation
- The route calculated by the navigation sys
tem is a recommendation of how best to
reach a destination. Pay attention to traffic
lights,
no stopping signs, lane change re
strictions, one-way streets, etc.
© CAUTION
-Should the navigation directions contradict
the current traffic regulations, you must al
ways follow the traffic regulations.
- The volume should only be set at a level
which enables you to hear distant police and
emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so
could result in an accident.
© Note
- Snow or other obstructions on the GPS aer
ial or interference caused by trees or large
buildings could affect the reception of the
satellite signals and make positioning
diffi
cult. GPS reception and vehicle positioning
can also be adversely affected by deactiva
tion or a malfunction of several satellites.
- Road names can change; therefore the
names stored on the MMI may be different
from the actual names in exceptional cases.

Wheels
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling - risk of accident!
(7) CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam
age to the tyre valves.
(#) For
the sake of the environment
- Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel
consumption.
- Driving with the tyre pressures adjusted to
the comfort setting* may also result in in
creased fuel consumption.

Rims
Rims with a bolted rim flange* or bolted trim
parts*
consist of several components. A special
technique is applied to bolt these components
together. Never attempt to repair or dismantle
them
o
A-
A,
WARNING
If the wheel bolts have not been tightened or
serviced correctly, they can come loose, and
you could lose control of the vehicLe - risk of
accident! For the correct tightening torque,
refer to
^page
324, After changing a wheel.
- Make sure that the wheel bolts and threads
in the wheel hubs are always clean and free
from grease.
- Only use wheel bolts that are designed to
match the rims on your car.
- Always have damaged rims repaired by a
qualified workshop. Never attempt to repair
or dismantle rims yourself - risk of accident!
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,
tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
•
Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
•
Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap
proved for your vehicle.
•
Please note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres
•=> A-
Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed
for
your
tyres.
•
After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures
^>page
307.
Winter tyres Lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
A WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over
heat and can even result in a blow-out - risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
(^)
For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption. •

All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the
A
symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
• Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four-
wheel drive*.
•
Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for
a
few yards; follow the instruc
tions given by the manufacturer.
•
Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob
serve the applicable local regulations.
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links. The
links must not protrude more than 13.5 mm
from the tyres (including tensioner).
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicLe handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi
nations.

© CAUTION
Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove the
hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains which
have a protective coating.

Low-profile tyres
Applies to: vehicles with low-profile tyres
Your vehicLe is fitted with low-profile tyres* as
standard equipment. Low-profile tyres have a
lower sidewall and provide a wider tread surface
and rim diameter than other wheel/tyre combi
nations. This makes the car's handling more
agile.
However, the ride may be Less comfortable
on poor-quality roads and tracks, and rolling
noise may be louder.
Low-profile tyres can be damaged more quickly
than standard tyres, for example by heavy jolts,
potholes, manhole covers, speed humps and
kerbs.
It is therefore particularly important to
ensure that they are inflated to the correct pres
sure
o
page 307.
Drive with particular care on poor-quality roads
to ensure that you do not damage the rims and
tyres.
Make sure to check your wheels regularly (every
3,000 km) for damage such as blisters/tears on
the tyre sidewalls or deformations/cracks on the
rims.
After a heavy jolt, or if any damage occurs, you
should have the rims and tyres checked and if
necessary replaced by
a
qualified workshop.
Tyre wear occurs more quickly on low-profile
tyres than on standard tyres.
Summer tyres are not suitable for cold condi
tions,
snow or ice. Use winter or all-season tyres
when driving in these conditions

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. •
