Some circuits may be protected by
several fuses.
Wheels
Tyres
Factory-fitted tyres are matched to
the chassis and offer optimum driving
comfort and safety.
Winter tyres 3
Tyres of size 165/70 R 14 and
185/60 R 15 may be used as winter
tyres.
Winter tyres improve safety at
temperatures below 7
°C and should
therefore be fitted on all the wheels.
Depending on national regulations, a
notice indicating the maximum
permissible speed for the tyres must
be affixed within the driver's field of
vision.
The maximum permissible speed
varies from country to country on
account of national regulations.
Ensure that winter tyres are inflated
to the correct pressure specified by
the tyre manufacturer. No. Circuit

socket.
8. Turn ignition key to
position ACC.9. Switch compressor on/off
switch to position I(on).
10. Inflate the tyre to the correct
pressure 3 12-8.
If there is no reading, the air
compressor hose to tyre valve
connection may be faulty.
Re-check the connection.
If the required tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
rotate the tyre to evenly spread
the sealant and repeat the
procedure.
If the required tyre pressure is
still not obtained, the tyre is too
badly damaged. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If the tyre is overinflated,
reduce the pressure by
pressing the deflation button
on the compressor.
Do not operate the compressor
for more than 10 minutes, to
avoid overheating.

has been reached, switch
compressor on/off switch to
position O(off).
12. Remove accessory plug from
the accessory socket, detach
air compressor hose from tyre
valve and replace valve cap.
13. Return air compressor hose

Towing
Towing the vehicle
Towing from the front is permissible
in emergency situations only.

remove the towing eye socket cover
by pressing the lower part of the
cover.
The towing eye attachment is stored
below the spare wheel in the luggage
compartment 3 10-25.Screw in towing eye attachment
clockwise until it is firmly in place. If
necessary, use jack handle to tighten.
Attach a tow rope 3 - or better still a

The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering
the vehicle.
Switch on the ignition (3 9-1) to
release the steering column lock and
to permit operation of the brake
lamps and windscreen wipers.
Manual transmission in neutral,
automatic transmission 3 in N.More brake pedal pressure is
necessary when braking since the
brake servo unit is operative only
when the engine is running.
Considerably greater steering force is
necessary since this unit is operative
only when the engine is running.
To prevent entry of exhaust fumes
from towing vehicle, switch on air
recirculation mode (3 8-3) and close
the windows.
Do not tow the vehicle with a tow
rope3 or tow rod 3 for extended
periods, to avoid causing damage to
the vehicle. Only tow in this manner
on hard-surfaced roads.
Vehicles with manual or automatic
transmission3 can be towed from
the front, provided the front axle is
raised off the ground and the parking
brake is released.
Caution
Drive slowly and avoid jerky
movements. Impermissible tractive
forces could damage the vehicles.

10-29Vehicle care
Vehicles with manual transmission
can also be towed from the front with
all four wheels on the ground. In this
case, the gearshift lever must be in
neutral with the parking brake
released and the key in ignition
switch position ACC, to permit
release of the steering column lock
before towing.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
attachment anti-clockwise and refit
the cover.Towing another vehicleInterior care
