Jump-starting
For the jump-starting procedure, use only the jump-starting connection point in the engine com-
partment,consisting of apositive terminal and aground point.
All vehiclese xcept vehiclesw ithalithium-ion battery:
GWARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is arisk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over the
battery. Keep children away from batteries. Wash away battery acid immediately with plenty of
clean water and seek medical attention.
GWARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk
of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient ven-
tilation while charging and jump-starting. Do not lean over abattery.
GWARNING
During the charging process, abattery produces hydrogen gas. If ashort circuit occurs or sparks
are created, the hydrogen gas can ignite. There is arisk of an explosion.
RMake sure that the positive terminal of aconnected battery does not come into contact with
vehicle parts.
RNever place metal objects or tools on abattery.
RIt is important that you observe the described order of the battery terminals when connecting
and disconnecting abattery.
RWhen jump-starting, make sure that the battery poles with identical polarity are connected.
RIt is particularly important to observe the described order when connecting and disconnecting
the jumper cables.
RNever connect or disconnectt he battery terminals while the engine is running.
GWARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at temperatures below freezing point. When jump-starting the
vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before charging it or jump-starting.
If, at low temperatures, the indicator lamps/warning lamps in the instrument cluster do not light up,
it is highly likely that the discharged battery has frozen.Int his case, you may neither charge the
battery nor jump-start the vehicle. The service life of athawed-out battery may be shorter. The
starting characteristicsc an be impaired, particularly at low temperatures. Have the thawed-out
battery checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
All vehicles:
!Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could be
damaged by the non-combusted fuel.

mended tire pressure for your vehicle when
adjusting the tire pressure (
Ypage 319).

Checking the tire pressures
Important safety notes
Observe the notes on tire pressure
(Ypage 319).
Information on air pressure for the tires on your
vehicle can be found:
Ron the vehicle's Tire and Loading Information
placard on the B-pillar
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap
(Ypage 150)
Rin the "Tire pressure" section
Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire pressure,
proceed as follows:
XRemove the valve cap of the tire that is to be
checked.
XPress the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
XRead the tire pressure and compare it to the
recommended value on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or the tire pressure table (
Ypage 319).
XIf the tire pressure is too low, increase the tire
pressure to the recommended value.
XIf the tire pressure is too high, release air. To
do so, press down the metal pin in the valve,
using the tip of apen for example. Then check
the tire pressure againu sing the tire pressure
checker.
XScrew the valve cap onto the valve.
XRepeatt hese steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure loss warning system
General notes
While the vehicle is in motion, the tire pressure
loss warning system monitors the set tire pres-
sure using the rotational speed of the wheels.
This enables the system to detect significant
pressure loss in atire. If the speed of rotation of
aw heel changes as aresult of aloss of pressure,
ac orresponding warning message will appeari n
the multifunction display.
You can recognize the tire pressure loss warning
by the Run Flat Indicator Active
Press'OK' to Restartmessage which appears in
the Servicemenu of the multifunction display.
Information on the message displayc an be
found in the "Restarting the tire pressure loss
warning system" section (
Ypage 323).
Important safety notes
The tire pressure warning system does not warn you of an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe
the notes on the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 319).
The tire pressure loss warning does not replace
the need to regularly check the tire pressure. An

Uniform TireQualityG rading Standards
Aunifor mstandard to grade the quality of tires
with regards to tread quality, tire traction and
temperature characteristics. The quality grad-
ing assessmentism ade by the manufacturer
following specification sfrom the U.S .govern-
ment .The ratings are molded int othe sidewall of
the tire.
Recommended tir epressures
The recommended tire pressure applies to the
tires mounted at the factory.
The Tire and Loading Information placard con-
tains the recommended tire pressures for cold
tires on afully loaded vehicle and for the maxi-
mum permissible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table contains the recommen-
ded pressures for cold tires for various operat-
ing conditions, i.e. differingl oad and speed con-
ditions.
Increased vehicle weight due to optional
equipment
The combined weight of all standard and
optional equipment available for the vehicle,
regardless of whether it is actually installed on
the vehicle or not.
Rim
This is the part of the wheel on which the tire is
mounted.
GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating)
The GAWR is the maximum gross axle weight
rating. The actual load on an axle must never
exceed the gross axle weight rating. The gross
axle weight ratin gcan be found on the vehicle
identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
Speed rating
The speed ratin gispart of the tire identification.
It specifies the speed range for which the tire is
approved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
The gross vehicle weight includes the weight of
the vehicle includin gfuel, tools, the spare wheel,
accessories installed, occupants, luggage and
the drawbar noseweight ,ifapplicable. The gross
vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-
cle weight ratin gGVWR as specified on the vehi-
cle identification plate on the B-pillar on the
driver'ss ide.
GVWR(Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
The GVWR is the maximum permissible gross
weight of afully loaded vehicle (the weight of the
vehicle includin gall accessories, occupants,
fuel, luggage and the drawbar n
oseweight
,if
applicable). The gross vehicle weight ratin gis
specified on the vehicle identification plate on
the B-pillar on the driver'ss ide.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The maximum weight is the sum of:
Rthe curb weight of the vehicle
Rthe weight of the accessories
Rthe load limit
Rthe weight of the factory installed optional
equipment
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-
sponds to1psi. Another unit for tire pressure is
bar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of
1b ar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearin gindex ,the load
index may also be imprinted on the sidewall of
the tire. This specifies the load-bearin gcapacity
more precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of avehicle with standard equipment
includin gthe maximum capacityoff uel, oil and
coolant .Italso includes the air-conditionin gsys-
tem and optional equipment if these are instal-
led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-
gers or luggage.
Maximum load rating
The maximum tire load is the maximum permis-
sible weight in kilogram sorlbs for which atire is
approved.
Maximum permissible tir epressure
Maximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated by
dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by
two.
