Vehicle care2133. Release the bonnet support fromits retainer above the radiator
support and place it securely into
the slotted retainer in the bonnet.
Closing Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and let it fall into the
latch from a low height (20-25 cm).
Check that the bonnet is engaged.Caution
Do not press the bonnet into the
latch to avoid dents.
Cooling system
The vehicle has three different
cooling systems.
Regularly check the coolant level of
the respective cooling systems and
have the cause of a possible coolant
loss remedied by a workshop.
Caution
Make sure that you never run the
vehicle with insufficient coolant.
A low coolant level can cause
damage to the vehicle.
Heater cooling system
The coolant reservoir is located in the engine compartment.
The coolant provides freeze
protection down to approx. -28 °C.
Caution
Only use approved antifreeze.
If the engine cooling system is cold,
the coolant level should be above the
filling line mark. Top up if the level is
low.
9 Warning
Allow the engine to cool before
opening the cap. Carefully open
the cap, relieving the pressure
slowly.
To top up use a 1:1 mixture of
approved coolant concentrate mixed
with tap water. Install the cap tightly.

214Vehicle careHigh voltage battery cooling
system9 Danger
The high voltage battery coolant
may only be serviced by a
qualified technician.
Improper handling could cause serious injuries or death.
The high voltage battery coolantreservoir is located on the front side
of the engine compartment.
Check to see if coolant is visible in the high voltage battery coolant reservoir.
If coolant is visible but the coolant
level is below the cold fill line, there
could be a leak within the cooling
system.
If the coolant level is too low, seek the assistance of a workshop.
Power electronics and charger
modules cooling system9 Danger
The power electronics and
charger modules coolant may only be serviced by a qualified
technician.
Improper handling could cause serious injuries or death.
The power electronics and charger
modules are cooled using the same coolant loop.
The power electronics and charger
modules coolant reservoir is located
on the front side of the engine
compartment.
Check to see if coolant is visible in the
power electronics and charger
modules coolant reservoir. If coolant
is visible but the coolant level is below the cold fill line, there could be a leak
in the cooling system.
If the coolant level is too low, seek the assistance of a workshop.

After having changed defective fuses,
close the fuse box cover and press
until it engages.
If the fuse box cover is not closed
correctly, malfunctions may occur.
Instrument panel fuse boxThe fuse box is located on the driver's
side behind a cover in the instrument
panel.

Vehicle care235For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than
2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every six years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
nominal tyre pressure and make
other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced and the tyre
pressure monitoring system
reinitialised 3 232.9 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
