What to do first ●
Park the vehicle on a horizontal surface
and in a s af

e place as far away from traffic as
possible.
● Apply the handbrake.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights.
● Manual gearbox: select
the 1st gear.
● Automatic gearbox: Mov
e the selector lever
to position P.
● If you are towing a trailer, unhitch it from
your
vehicle. ●
Have the
vehicle tool kit ›››
 page 83
and the spare wheel* ready
›››  page 298.
● Observe the applicable legislation for each
cou
ntry (reflective vest, warning triangles,
etc.).
● All occupants should leave the vehicle and
wait
in a safe place (for instance behind the
roadside crash barrier). WARNING
● Alw

ays observe the above steps and pro-
tect yourself and other road users.
● If you change the wheel on a slope, block
the wheel on the op
posite side of the car with
a stone or similar to prevent the vehicle from

Emergencies
CAUTION
● The t o
wing eye must always be completely
and firmly tightened. Otherwise, it could be
released while towing and tow-starting.
● If the vehicle is factory-equipped with a
to

wing bracket, it is only allowed to tow with
a tow bar if this has been specially designed
to be installed with a tow hitch. If an unsuita-
ble tow bar is used, both the tow hitch and
the vehicle may be damaged. Instead, a tow
rope should be used. Driving tips for towing
Towing requires some expertise and experi-
enc
e, e

specially when using a tow rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the difficulties
involved in towing. For this reason, inexper-
ienced drivers should abstain from towing.
During towing, it should be ensured that no
impermissible tractive forces or shocks are
generated. When towing on an unpaved
road, there is always a risk of overloading
and damaging the anchorage points.
During towing, the towing vehicle can signal
the change of direction even with the hazard
warning lights turned on. To do so, at the
same time, the turn signal lever must be op-
erated with ignition switched on. Meanwhile,
the hazard warning lights will go off. When
the turn signal lever is returned to the rest position, the hazard warning lights will be
autom

atically reactivated.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle ● Leave the ignition on, so that the steering
is

not blocked, and the electronic parking
brake may be deactivated and the turn sig-
nals and wash/wipe operated.
● More strength is required at the steering
wheel a
s the power steering does not oper-
ate when the engine is switched off.
● You should depress the brake much harder
as
the brake servo does not operate. Avoid
hitting the towing vehicle.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions
in the manual of the vehicle to be tow-
ed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
● Accelerate with particular care and caution.
Av
oid sharp manoeuvres.
● Brake earlier than usual and smoothly.
● Bear in mind the information and instruc-
tions
in the manual of the towed vehicle. Fuses and bulbs
F u

ses
Introduction In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
el
ectric

al components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
giv e seriou

s electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death!
● Never touch the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion sys
tem.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electric
al system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridgin g a c

urrent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury. 90

Fuses and bulbs
●
Nev er u
se a fuse with a higher value. Only
replace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or simi
lar. CAUTION
● To pr

event damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fu

se, you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent
the entry of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system. Note
● One c omponent

may have more than one
fuse.
● Several components may run on a single
fu

se. Vehicle fuses

›  page 52.
Changing bulbs requires a certain degree of
practical skill. If you choose to change the engine compart-
ment l

amps yourself, remember that it is a
dangerous area ››› in Work in the engine
c omp

artment on page 283.
Always use identical bulbs with the same
designation. The name can be found on the
base of the bulb holder.
Depending on how equipped the vehicle is,
there are different sets of headlights and tail
lights:
● Halogen headlights
● Full-LED main headlights*
● Rear bulb light
● LED rear light*
Fu
ll-LED headlight system*
Full-LED headlights handle all light functions
(daylight, side light, turn signal, dipped
beam and route light) with light emitting di-
odes (LEDs) as a light source.
Full-LED headlights are designed to last the
lifetime of the car and light bulbs cannot be
replaced. In case of headlight failure, go to
an authorised workshop to have it replaced. WARNING
● Tak

e particular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm. Risk of burns. ●
Bu

lbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injur
e yourself on sharp edges, in particu-
lar on the headlight housing. CAUTION
● Remo

ve the ignition key before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights and the parking light
befor
e changing a bulb.
● Take good care to avoid damaging any com-
ponents. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
po se of

used bulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Ple

ase check at regular intervals that all
lighting (especially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is
not only in the interest of your own safety,
but also that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
hav
e the correct new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with

short space of time, it automatically switches
off to prevent overheating.
Once the system is cool again, the function
can be reused. Until then the rear lid can only
be opened and closed by hand using reason-
able force.
If with the rear lid open the vehicle battery is
disconnected ››› page 289 or the corre-
sponding fuse burns out ››› page 90, the sys- tem will have to be reset. This requires clos-
ing the r

ear lid completely once.
Emergency unlocking
›››  page 11 WARNING
If a lot of snow builds up on the rear lid or it
i s

heavily loaded, the rear lid may not open
or, after opening, it may lower by itself due to
the extra weight and cause serious injury.
● Never open the rear lid when there is a lot
of s
now on it or when carrying a load (e.g. on
a rack).
● Before opening the rear lid, remove the
sno
w or the load. WARNING
If the rear lid is closed incorrectly or without
due c ar

e, it could result in serious injury.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended or allow
chi
ldren to play inside or next to it, especially
if the rear lid is open. Children could enter
the luggage compartment, close the rear lid
and become trapped. A locked vehicle can
reach extremely high and low temperatures,
depending on the time of year, thus causing
serious injuries, illness or even death. CAUTION
Before opening or closing the rear lid, make
s ur

e that there is enough space to open or close it, e.g. when pulling a trailer or in a ga-
r
ag

e. Tailgate automatic lock
