Vehicle care223Headlight wiringAn electrical overload may cause the
lights to go on and off or in some
cases to remain off. In this case, have
the headlight wiring checked
immediately by a workshop.
Windscreen wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to
heavy snow or ice, the windscreen
wipers will stop until the motor cools
down and the wiper control is turned
off. After removal of the blockage, the wiper motor will restart when moving
the control to the desired operating
position.
Although the circuit is protected from electrical overload, overload due to
heavy snow or ice may cause wiper
linkage damage.
Always clear ice and heavy snow from the windscreen before using the
windscreen wipers. If the overload is
caused by an electrical problem and
not snow or ice, it must be serviced.Fuses
Data on the replacement fuse must match the data on the defective fuse.
There are two fuse boxes in the
vehicle:
● in the front left of the engine compartment
● on the left side of the instrument panel
Before replacing a fuse, turn off the respective switch and the vehicle.
A blown fuse can be recognised by its melted wire. Do not replace the fuse
until the cause of the fault has been
remedied.Caution
Do not replace the fuse until the
cause of the fault has been
remedied.
Some functions are protected by
several fuses.
Fuses may also be inserted without
existence of a function.
Fuse extractor
A fuse extractor may be located in the
fuse box in the engine compartment.

Vehicle care239Route the leads so that they cannot
catch on rotating parts in the engine
compartment.
To start the vehicle: 1. Start the engine of the vehicle providing the jump.
2. After five minutes, press POWER m to switch on the
vehicle.
After the instrument cluster
initialises, the vehicle will use
power from the high voltage
battery to charge the 12-volt
battery.
3. Switch on electrical consumers (e.g. headlights, heated rear
window) of the vehicle receiving
the jump start.
4. Reverse above sequence exactly when removing leads.Towing
Towing the vehicleCaution
Incorrect towing of a disabled
vehicle may cause damage to the
vehicle. The disabled vehicle
should only be towed on a flatbed
car carrier.
Ensure the vehicle is only towed
by well trained technicians.
Insert a screwdriver in the slot at the
short edge of the cap. Release the
cap by carefully moving the
screwdriver sidewards. To prevent
damage, it is recommended to place
a cloth between the screwdriver and
the frame.
The towing eye is stowed with the vehicle tools 3 230.
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the towing eye.
The towing eye must only be used for towing and not for recovering the
vehicle.
