Checking and topping up fluids
A WARNING
- 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.
- For safety reasons the bonnet must always
be completely closed when the vehicle is

moving.
After closing it always check that it
is properly secured. It should not be possi­
ble to
lift
the front edges of the bonnet.
Should you notice that the bonnet is not
safely secured when the vehicle is moving,
stop the vehicle immediately and close the
bonnet properly, otherwise it could cause an
accident.

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!

© Note
- Use only the terminals in the engine com­
partment to charge the vehicle battery.
- Before you charge the vehicle battery, al­
ways read and follow the manufacturer's in­
structions for using the battery charger.

Clean water should be used when topping up. If
possible, use soft water to prevent scaling on the
washer
jets.
Always add washer fluid to the wa­
ter. In cold weather you should add anti-freeze to
the water to prevent it from freezing. •

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:
|MENU|
but­
ton > Car
>
left control button > Servicing &
checks
>
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|
button > Car
>
left
control button > Servicing & checks
>
Service in­
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.
