discharge. Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before connecting or disconnecting
the vehicle battery.
Retrofitted electrical or electronic
accessories can place an additional
load on the vehicle battery or
discharge the battery. Seek the
assistance of a workshop regarding technical possibilities, such as fitting
a more powerful battery.
Ensure the ignition is switched off
before reconnecting the vehicle
battery. Then perform the following
actions:
1. Set date and time in the information display 3 75.
2. If necessary, activate the power windows and sun roof 3 31, 3 33.

Replacing the vehicle battery Note
Any deviation from the instructions
given in this paragraph may lead to
a temporary deactivation of the stop-
start system.
When the vehicle battery is being
replaced, please ensure that there
are no open ventilation holes in the
vicinity of the positive terminal. If a
ventilation hole is open in this area, itmust be closed off with a dummy cap, and the ventilation in the vicinity of the
negative terminal must be opened.
Only use batteries that allow the fuse
box to be mounted above the vehicle
battery.
In vehicles with an AGM (Absorptive
Glass Mat) battery, make sure to

Vehicle tools
Tools
Vehicles with spare wheel
In vehicles with a spare wheel, a jack and vehicle tools kit are available.
The jack and vehicle tools have been
specially developed for your vehicle
and must only be used on that
vehicle. Only use jack for changing
wheels.
The jack and vehicle tools are in a
storage compartment below the floor
cover in the load compartment.

182Vehicle careThe maximum speed is achievable atkerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
Performance 3 208.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel. This also applies to vehicles
with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Use the valve cap key to make
unscrewing the valve caps easier.
The valve cap key is located on the
inside of the tank flap.
Tyre pressure 3 212.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter tyres.
Always inflate the spare tyre to the
pressure specified for full load.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
Tyre pressures differ depending on
various options. For the correct tyre
pressure value, follow the procedure
below:
1. Identify the engine identifier code.
Engine data 3 207.
2. Identify the respective tyre.
The tyre pressure tables show all
possible tyre combinations 3 212.
For the tyres approved for your
vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
9 Warning
For specific tyres the
recommended tyre pressure as
shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly
10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature
increase. This must be considered
when warm tyres are checked.

Vehicle care185If the tyre pressure is to be reduced or
increased, switch off the ignition. Tyre
pressures 3 182, 3 212.
General information The use of commercially available
liquid tyre repair kits can impair the
function of the system. Factory-
approved tyre repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 187.
Operating electronic devices or being close to facilities using similar wave
frequencies could disrupt the tyre
pressure monitoring system.
The tyre pressure monitoring system
valve cores and sealing rings must be
replaced each time the tyres are
changed.
Tyre pressure sensor matching
process
Each tyre pressure sensor has a
unique identification code. The
identification code must be matched
to a new tyre/wheel position after
rotating the tyres or replacing one or
more of the tyre pressure sensors.The tyre pressure sensor matching
process should also be performed
after replacing a spare tyre with a
road tyre containing a tyre pressure
sensor. The control indicator w and
the warning message should
extinguish at the next ignition cycle.
The sensors are matched to the tyre/
wheel positions, using a TPMS
relearn tool, in the following order:
● left front tyre
● right front tyre
● right rear tyre
● left rear tyre
Consult your workshop for service or
to purchase a relearn tool.
There are two minutes to match the
first tyre/wheel position, and
five minutes overall to match all four
tyre/wheel positions. If it takes longer, the matching process stops and must
be restarted.The tyre pressure sensor matching
process is as follows:
1. Apply the electrical parking brake 3 143 ; on vehicles with automatic
transmission move the selector
lever to position P.
2. Turn the ignition on 3 125.
3. Initiate the TPMS Learn Mode by simultaneously pressing p and
q on the radio remote control,
- or -
Press INFO on the Infotainment
system until a tyre learn message appears on the Info-display.
Press and hold OK.
The horn sounds twice and the left front turn signal also illuminates
as confirmation that Learn Mode
has been enabled.
4. Start with the left front tyre. 5. Place the relearn tool against the tyre sidewall, near the valve stem.
Then press the button to activate
the tyre pressure sensor. A horn
chirp confirms that the sensor
identification code has been
