The essentials
Releasing the selector lever
● Using a screwdriver, press and hold the yel-
lo w u
nlocking tab sideways ››› Fig. 54.
● Press the interlock button on the selector
lev
er and move the selector lever to posi-
tion N.
● After carrying out the manual release, at-
tac
h the selector lever boot on the gearbox
console again. If the power supply should ever fail (e.g. dis-
ch
arged battery) and the vehicle has to be
pushed or towed, the selector lever must first
be moved to position N, after operating the
manual release mechanism. WARNING
The selector lever may be moved out of posi-
tion P on ly
when the handbrake is firmly ap-
plied. If this does not work, secure the vehi-
cle with the brake pedal. On a slope the vehi- cle could otherwise start to move inadver-
t
ently
after shifting the selector lever out of
position P - accident risk! Air conditioning

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
moving. 52

The essentials
Do not pull too hard with the towing vehicle
and t ak
e care to avoid jerking the tow rope.
When towing on an unpaved road, there is al-
ways a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
Switch on the ignition so that the turn sig-
nals, windscreen wipers and windscreen
washer can work. Ensure that the steering
wheel is unlocked and moves freely.
Place the gear lever in neutral on vehicles
with a manual gearbox. With an automatic
gearbox, place the lever in N.
To brake, press the brake pedal firmly. The
brake servo does not work when the engine
is switched off.
The power steering only works when the igni-
tion is switched on and the vehicle is moving,
provided that the battery is sufficiently charg-
ed. Otherwise, it will need more force.
Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times.
››› in Introduction on page 86
››› page 86 Tow-starting
If the engine will not start, first try starting it
u
s
ing the battery of another vehicle
››› page 58. You should only attempt to tow-
start a vehicle if charging the battery does
not work. This is done by leveraging wheel
movement.
When tow-starting a vehicle with a petrol en-
gine, do not tow it more than a short dis-
tance, otherwise unburned fuel can enter the
catalytic converter.
● Engage 2nd or 3rd gear before moving off.
● Press the clutch and hold the pedal down.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Once both vehicles are moving, release the
c lut
ch.
● As soon as the engine has started, press
the clut
ch and move the gear lever to neutral.
How to jump start Jump le
ads The jump lead must have a sufficient wire
c
r
oss section.
If the engine fails to start because of a dis-
charged battery, the battery can be connec-
ted to the battery of another vehicle to start
the engine. Jump leads must comply with standard
DIN
72553 (see cab
le manufacturer's instruc-
tions). The wire cross section must be at least
25 mm 2
for petrol engines and at least
35 mm 2
for diesel engines. Note
● The v
ehicles must not touch each other,
otherwise electricity could flow as soon as
the positive terminals are connected.
● The discharged battery must be properly
connect
ed to the on-board network.58

– For vehicles with Start-Stop system: con-
nect
one end of the black jump lead X to a

able ground terminal, to a solid piece of
metal in the engine block, or to the engine
block itself ››› Fig. 77.
5. Connect the other end of the blac
k jump
lead X to a solid metal component bolted
t o the en
gine block or to the engine block
itself of the vehicle with the flat battery.
Do not connect it to a point near the bat-
tery A .
6. Position the leads in such a way that they cannot
come into contact with any moving
parts in the engine compartment.
Starting
7. Start the engine of the vehicle with the boos
ting battery and let it run at idling
speed. 8. Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat
batt
ery and wait for 2 or 3 minutes until
the engine is running.
Removing the jump leads
9. Before you remove the jump leads, switch off the dip
ped beam headlights if they are
switched on.
10.Turn on the heater blower and heated rear windo
w in the vehicle with the flat battery.
This helps minimise voltage peaks which
are generated when the leads are discon-
nected.
11.When the engine is running, disconnect the le
ads in reverse order to the details
given above.
Make sure the battery clamps have sufficient
metal-to-metal contact with the battery termi-
nals.
If the engine fails to start after about 10 sec-
onds, switch off the starter and try again after
about 1 minute. WARNING
● Ple
ase note the safety warnings referring to
working in the engine compartment
››› page 282.
● The battery providing assistance must have
the same
voltage as the flat battery (12V) and
approximately the same capacity (see imprint » 59

Safety
●
Adju s
t the driver's seat so that there is at
least 25 cm distance between the centre of
the chest and the centre of the steering
wheel ››› Fig. 81. If you are sitting closer than
25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from m
aintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary.
● When driving, always hold the steering
wheel w
ith both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
This reduces the risk of injury when the driver
airbag is triggered.
● Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'cloc
k position, or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the airbag is triggered, you may sus-
tain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
● To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
during s
udden braking manoeuvres or an ac-
cident, never drive with the backrest tilted far
back! The airbag system and seat belts can
only provide optimal protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
driver is wearing his or her seat belt correct-
ly.
● Adjust the head restraint properly to ach-
ieve optim
al protection. Adjusting the steering wheel position
Read the additional information carefully
› ›
› page 14. WARNING
● Nev er a
djust the position of the steering
wheel when the vehicle is moving, as this
could cause an accident.
● Move the lever up firmly so the steering
wheel po
sition does not accidentally change
during driving. risk of accident!
● Make sure you are capable of reaching and
firmly
holding the upper part of the steering
wheel: risk of accident!
● If you adjust the steering wheel so that it
points
towards your face, the driver airbag
will not protect you properly in the event of
an accident. Make sure that the steering
wheel points towards your chest. Correct sitting position for front pas-
sen
g
er For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injur
y
in the event of an accident, we recom-
mend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
– Move the front passenger seat back as far
as
possible ››› .–
Mo v
e the seat backrest to an upright posi-
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper
edge i
s at the same level as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ››› page 66.
– Always keep both feet in the footwell in
front
of the front passenger seat.
– Fasten your seat belt securely ››
› page 68.
It is possible to deactivate the front passen-
ger airbag in exceptional circumstances
››› page 77.
Adjusting the front passenger seat
››› page 143. WARNING
● An inc orr
ect sitting position of the front
passenger can lead to severe injuries.
● Adjust the front passenger seat so that
there i
s at least 25 cm between your chest
and the dash panel. If you are sitting closer
than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect
you properly.
● If your physical constitution prevents you
from m
aintaining the minimum distance of 25
cm, contact a specialised workshop. The
workshop will help you decide if special spe-
cific modifications are necessary. 64
