General notes
• Ensure that the sensor on the air grille next to the display is not
covered up.
• To ensure that the Climatroniccan work properly, the air inlet in
front of the windscreen should be kept free of ice, snow and
leaves.
• The heat output depends on the coolant temperature – the full
heat output is therefore available when the engine is warm.
• Odours caused by a build-up of natural deposits in the vaporiser
can occur if the AUTO system has not been used for some time. The
cooling system should be turned on at fullblast at least once a
month – even during cold spells – to clear or to prevent the
odours.
• The stale air escapes through openings in the luggage
compartment side panels. Therefore when loading the luggage
compartment ensure that the openings are not covered.
• When the ambient temperature is high and the air very humid,
condensed water can drip off the evaporator and form a puddle
under the vehicle. This is quite normal and does not indicate a
leak.
• To prevent the windows from misting up the blower should be
running slowly when driving at low speeds. To do this select ECON
or AUTO.
K
Using Climatronic economically
In cooling operation the Climatronic compressor places demands
on the engine and therefore influences the fuel consumption. Tokeep the period switched on as short as possible, the following
points should be noted:
• If the inside temperature is very high after the car has been
parked in the sun, it is recommended to open doors or windows
briefly to enable the hot air to escape.
• The compressor should not be switched on during a journey if
the windows or sliding roof* are open.
• ECON mode should be selected if the desired interior
temperature can be attained without switching on the air
conditioner.
K
Operating faults
• If all the symbols in the display area flash for some 15 seconds
after switching the ignition on, there is a fault in the system.
Contact a Technical Service Centre.
• Should the cooling system not work at any time, either:
– the ambient temperature is below about +5 °C,
– the Climatronic compressor has switched off due to coolant
temperature being too high.
– or the fuses have blown.
Check the fuse and if necessary replace
⇒"Fuses" chapter. If the
trouble is not due to a defective fuse, have Climatronic checked.
• If the cooling output drops off, switch the Climatronic off and
have the system checked.

General notes
The filler neck is on the rear right side panel of the vehicle.
The tank flap is automatically locked and unlocked with the central
locking. If the central locking system is defective the flap can be
opened by hand – see next page.
The tank holds about 70 litres.When tank cap has been taken off it can be placed on the tank flap
⇒ fig. 149.
Filling the tank without problem depends largely on the correct
operation of the petrol pump:
• Do not place the nozzle too deeply into the filler neck and do not
place the nozzle at an angle.
• Do not select a high flow rate – the fuel (particularly Diesel) will
otherwise foam up. This could cause the petrol pump to switch off
prematurely.

As soon as the correctly operated automatic nozzle switches off for the first
time, the tank is full. Do not try then to put more fuel in because the
expansion space in tank will be filled – the fuel can then overflow when it
becomes warm.
After filling tank, screw cap on tightly and lock it.

Any fuel spillage should be wiped off the paint finish immediately, as the
paint could otherwise be damaged, especially if it is RME (“biodiesel”) fuel.

• The tread depth of new tyres can vary due to construction and
design features, and depending on version and manufactures.
• Check tyres for damage from time to time (cuts, splits, cracks and
lumps) and remove any foreign bodies embedded in the treads.
• To avoid damage to tyres and wheels drive over curbs and similar
obstacles very slowly and as nearly at right angles as possible.
• Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.
• Replace missing dust caps as soon as possible.
• Mark wheels before taking them off so that they rotate in the
same direction when put back on again.
• When taken off, the tyres should be stored in a cool, dry and
preferably dark place.
Tyres which are not on wheels should be stored in a vertical
position.N No

It is imperative that the designated direction of rotation for tyre treads
(which can be determined from the arrow on the side of the tyre) be kept to.
The best tyre performance i.e. in aquaplaning, road adhesion, noise and
wear is then guaranteed.

Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
The inflation pressure is very important particularly at high speeds.
Therefore, the pressures should be checked at least once a
month and before every long journey.
At this opportunity do not forget the spare wheel:
• The spare wheel with normal tyre should always be inflated to
the highest pressure required on the vehicle.
• Always check the pressures when the tyres are cold. When warm,
the pressure is higher but do not reduce. If the load changes a
great deal the pressure must be altered to suit.
On vehicles with wheel hub caps, valve extensions are fitted. It is
not necessary to remove the valve extension piece in order to test
and correct the inflation pressure.

The wheels on new vehicles are balanced. However when the
vehicle is running various influences can cause the wheels to
become unbalanced and this causes steering vibration.
As imbalance also increases steering, suspension and tyre wear
the wheels should be balanced again. Furthermore a wheel should
always be rebalanced when the tyre has been repaired or when a
new tyre has been fitted.

At the bottom of the tread of the original tyres there are 1.6 mm
high “wear indicators” running across the tread
⇒fig. 174. There
are 6-8 of these indicators – according to make – evenly spaced
around the tyre circumference. Marks on the walls of the tyre (for
example the letters “TWI” or triangles) show the locations of the
wear indicators.

Please note regulations to this effect in your country.
• All-weather tyres can also be used instead of winter tyres.
• If you have a flat tyre the remarks on using the spare wheel on
page 208 should be noted.
• Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an unnecessary long period
because when the roads are free of snow and ice the handling with
summer tyres is better.

For environmental reasons summer tyres should be fitted again as soon as
possible because normally they are quieter in running, tyre wear is reduced
and the fuel consumption is lower.
K
Snow chains
Snow chains may only be fitted on the front wheels. This also
applies to vehicles with four wheel drive*.
The use of snow chains on the tyres 195/65 R 15 is allowed.

When using snow chains wheel rim plates and rim rings must be
taken off. In this case, to protect the wheel, the bolts must then be
fitted with caps which are available from Technical Service Centres.When driving over roadswhich are free of snow you must remove
the chains. On such roadsthey are detrimental to vehicle handling,
damage the tyres and wear out quickly.
In some countries the maximum permissible speed with snow
chains is 50 km/h.
