Diesel fuel filter

water at every engine oil change.
Place a container underneath the
filter housing. Turn drain plug
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, to drain off the water.
The filter is drained as soon as diesel fuel emerges from the port. Retighten
the drain plug by turning it clockwise.
With engine switched off, turn ignition
key to ON, wait approx. 5 seconds,
and turn key to LOCK to perform
priming operation. Perform this
operation 3 times or more while the
engine is switched off, to avoid air
entering the fuel line.
Check diesel fuel filter at shorter
intervals if the vehicle is subjected to
extreme operating conditions.
If there is water in the diesel fuel filter, control indicator U illuminates in the
instrument cluster 3 90. Drain the
water immediately.

15 seconds at a time. Then crank the
engine for a maximum of
40 seconds. If the engine will not start, wait at least 10 seconds before trying
again. If the engine fails to start, seek
the assistance of a workshop.

workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.

temporary spare wheel may still be
fitted with a summer tyre. Vehicle
driveability could be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.

height to tyre width), %R=Belt type: RadialRF=Type: RunFlat17=Wheel diameter, in inches104=Load index e.g. 91 is
equivalent to 618 kgH=Speed code letter
Speed code letter:

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 front towing eye, never to
the bumper or front suspension units.
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.
The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Transmission in neutral.
Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 116 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
88 km/h . In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
