Battery voltage
When the vehicle battery voltage is
running low, a warning message or
warning code 174 will appear in the
Driver Information Centre.1. Switch off immediately any electrical consumers which are
not required for a safe ride, e.g.
seat heating, heated rear window
or other main consumers.
2. Charge the vehicle battery by driving continuously for a while or
by using a charging device.
The warning message or warning
code will disappear after the engine
has been started two times
consecutively without a voltage drop.
If the vehicle battery cannot be
recharged, have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.Trip computer
The menus and functions can be
selected via the buttons on the turn
signal lever.
Press the MENU button to select the
Trip/Fuel Information Menu , or select
W on the Uplevel-Combi-Display.

166Driving and operating
Cleaning takes place quickest at high
engine speeds and loads.
The control indicator % extinguishes
as soon as the self-cleaning
operation is complete.
Catalytic converter
The catalytic converter reduces the
amount of harmful substances in the
exhaust gases.Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed on pages 3 209, 3 276 could
damage the catalytic converter or
electronic components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven
engine running, a reduction in engine performance or other unusual
problems, have the cause of the fault
rectified by a workshop as soon as
possible. In an emergency, driving
can be continued for a short period,
keeping vehicle speed and engine
speed low.
AdBlue General information
The selective catalytic reduction
(BlueInjection) is a method to
substantially reduce the nitrogen
oxides in the exhaust emission. This
is achieved by injecting a Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system.
The designation of the used DEF is
AdBlue Ⓡ 1)
. It is a non-toxic, non-
flammable, colourless and odourless
fluid which consists of 32 % urea and
68 % water.9 Warning
Avoid contact of your eyes or skin
with AdBlue.
In case of eye or skin contact,
rinse off with water.
Caution
Avoid contact of the paintwork with AdBlue.
In case of contact, rinse off with water.
AdBlue freezes at a temperature of
approx. -11 °C. As the vehicle is
equipped with an AdBlue pre-heater,
the emissions reduction at low
temperatures is ensured. The AdBlue
pre-heater works automatically.
Level warnings The AdBlue consumption is approx.0.7 litres per 1000 km and depends
on the driving behaviour.
1) Registered trademark of the Verband der Automobilindustrie e.V. (VDA)

Driving and operating167
If the AdBlue level falls below a
certain value, a level warning Exhaust
Fluid Range: 2400 km will be
displayed in the Driver Information Centre (DIC).
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue must be refilled soon.
Driving is possible without any
restrictions.
If AdBlue is not refilled within a certain
distance, further level warnings are
displayed in the DIC depending on
the current AdBlue level. The
warnings announce restrictions,
starting with limitations of the
maximum speed up to a prevention of an engine restart. The restrictions are
a legal requirement.
Before a limitation of the maximum
speed is activated with the next
restart, the warning messages
■ Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now
■ Max Speed Upon Restart 100 km/h
are alternately displayed in the DIC.
Additionally the control indicator Y
illuminates continuously and a warning chime sounds.
A speed limitation to 100 km/h will be
activated with approx. 900 km exhaust fluid range remaining.
After a further limitation of the
maximum speed to 50 km/h, a
prevention of the engine restart will be
announced.
Before the prevention of the engine
restart is activated, the warning
messages
■ Exhaust Fluid Empty Refill Now
■ Speed Limited to 50 km/h
■ Engine Will Not Restart
are alternately displayed in the DIC.

168Driving and operating
Additionally the control indicator Y
flashes continuously and a warning
chime sounds repeatedly.
To restart the engine, the tank must be filled with AdBlue first.
Refilling AdBlueCaution
Only use AdBlue that complies
with European standards
DIN 70 070 and ISO 22241-1.
Do not use additives.
Do not dilute AdBlue.
Otherwise the selective catalytic
reduction system could be
damaged.
Note
Only use the designated AdBlue canisters for refilling to prevent a
topping up of too much AdBlue.
Additionally the fumes in the tank are captured in the canister and do not
emerge.
Since AdBlue has a limited
durability, check the date of expiry
before refilling.
Note
A volume of at least 5 litres of AdBlue
must be added when refilling.
Otherwise the refilling of AdBlue
might not be detected by the system.
If AdBlue must be refilled at
temperatures below -11 °C, the
refilling of AdBlue might not be
detected by the system. In this case,
park the vehicle in a space with a
higher ambient temperature until
AdBlue is liquefied.
Note
When unscrewing the protective cap from the filler neck, ammonia fumes
might emerge. Do not inhale as the
fumes have a pungent smell. The
fumes are not harmful by inhalation.
The vehicle must be parked on a level surface.
The filler neck for AdBlue is located
behind the fuel filler flap.
The fuel filler flap is located at right rear side of the vehicle.The fuel filler flap can only be opened
if the vehicle is unlocked.
1. Remove key from ignition lock.
2. Close all doors to avoid ammonia fumes entering the interior of the
vehicle.
3. Pull fuel filler flap at the recess and open 3 212.
4. Unscrew protective cap from the
filler neck.
5. Open AdBlue canister.
6. Mount one end of the hose on the
canister and screw the other end
on the filler neck.
7. Lift the canister until it is empty.

Driving and operating169
8. Unscrew the hose from the fillerneck.
9. Mount the protective cap and turn
clockwise until it engages.
Note
Dispose AdBlue canister and hose
according to environmental
requirements.
After restart, let the engine run in
neutral for approx. 10 seconds before
starting-off.
Exchanging AdBlue
Have AdBlue in the tank exchanged
completely after two years at the latest when driving mainly in warm
areas and with low mileage.Caution
Disregard could lead to damage to
the engine.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting
(manual mode).
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the transmission display.
Selector leverP=park position, wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the

The selector lever is locked in P and

is on and the brake pedal is applied.

270Service and maintenance
Select the appropriate engine oil
based on its quality and on the
minimum ambient temperature
3 273.
Additional engine oil additives
The use of additional engine oil
additives could cause damage and
invalidate the warranty.
Engine oil viscosity grades
The SAE viscosity grade gives
information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two
figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first
figure, followed by a W, indicates the
low temperature viscosity and the
second figure the high temperature viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade
depending on the minimum ambient
temperature 3 273.
All of the recommended viscosity
grades are suitable for high ambient
temperatures.Coolant and antifreeze
Only use silicate-free long life coolant
(LLC) antifreeze.
The system is factory filled with
coolant designed for excellent
corrosion protection and frost
protection down to approx. -28 °C. In
northern countries with very low
temperatures the factory filled coolant
provides frost protection down to
approx. -37 °C. This concentration
should be maintained all year round.
The use of additional coolant
additives that intend to give additional
corrosion protection or seal against
minor leaks can cause function
problems. Liability for consequences
resulting from the use of additional
coolant additives will be rejected.
Brake and clutch fluid
Only use high-performance brake
fluid approved for the vehicle, consult a workshop.Over time, brake fluid absorbs
moisture which will reduce braking
effectiveness. The brake fluid should
therefore be replaced at the specified interval.
Brake fluid should be stored in a
sealed container to avoid water
absorption.
Ensure brake fluid does not become
contaminated.
AdBlue Only use AdBlue to reduce the
nitrogen oxides in the exhaust
emission 3 166.
