Data summary
MenuFunction
Current fuel
consumption
The current fuel consumption dis-
play operates throughout the jour-
ney, in litres/100 km; and with the
engine running and the vehicle
stopped, in litres/hour.
Average fuel consumption a)
After turning on the ignition, aver-
age fuel consumption in li-
tres/100 km will be displayed after
travelling about 100 metres. Other-
wise horizontal lines are displayed.
The value shown is updated approxi-
mately every 5 seconds.
ACT®
*: Depending on the equip-
ment, number of active cylinders.
Operating range a)
Approximate distance in km that can
still be travelled with the fuel re-
maining in the tank, assuming the
same style of driving is maintained.
This is calculated using the current
fuel consumption.
Travelling
timeThis indicates the hours (h) and mi-
nutes (min) since the ignition was
switched on.
MenuFunction
JourneyDistance covered in km (m) after
switching on the ignition.
CNG quality
Whenever you refuel the quality of
the natural gas is automatically veri-
fied and is displayed when the igni-
tion is switched on. The display is
made in a percentage of between
70% and 100%. The greater the per-
centage displayed the lower the con-
sumption may be.
Average
speed
The average speed will be shown af-
ter a distance of about 100 metres
has been travelled. Otherwise hori-
zontal lines are displayed. The value
shown is updated approximately ev-
ery 5 seconds.

The essentials
When the vehicle is at a standstill or when
tr av
el
ling at very low speeds, the tempera-
ture displayed may be higher than the true
outside temperature as a result of the heat
produced by the engine.
The temperatures measured range from
-40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F).

● Turn the wheel bolt approximately one turn
to the lef
t ››› Fig. 74 (arrow). To apply the re-
quired torque, hold the wheel brace at the
end. If it is not possible to loosen a wheel
bolt, carefully apply pressure with one foot
on the end of the box spanner. Hold on to the
vehicle for support and take care not to slip. WARNING
Slightly loosen the wheel bolts (one turn) be-
for e r

aising the vehicle with the jack*. If not,
an accident may occur. Raising the vehicle

e. ●
Place the jack* (vehicle tools) on firm
gr ou
nd. If
necessary use a large, strong
board or similar support. If the surface is slip-
pery (for example tiles) place the jack on a
rubber mat or similar to prevent it from slip-
ping ››› .
» 67

The essentials
● Find the s up
por
t point on the strut (sunken
area) closest to the wheel to be changed
››› Fig. 75.
● Turn the jack*, located below the strut sup-
port point, t
o raise it until tab 1
› ››
Fig. 76
is
below the housing provided.
● Align the jack* so that tab 1 “grips” onto
the hou s
in

g provided on the strut and the
mobile base 2 is resting on the ground. The
b a
se p

late 2 should fall vertically with re-
s pect
t
o the support point 1 .
● Continue turning the jack* until the wheel
i s
s

lightly lifted off the ground. WARNING
● Mak e s

ure that the jack* remains stable. If
the surface is slippery or soft, the jack* could
slip or sink, respectively, with the resultant
risk of injury.
● Only raise the vehicle with the jack* sup-
plied by
the manufacturer. Other vehicles
could slip, with the consequent risk of injury.
● Only mount the jack* on the support points
designed f
or this purpose on the strut, and
always align the jack correctly. If you do not,
the jack* could slip as it does not have an ad-
equate grip on the vehicle: risk of injury!
● The height of the parked vehicle can
chan
ge as a result of variations in tempera-
ture and loading. CAUTION
The vehicle must not be raised on the cross-
bar . On

ly place the jack* on the points de-
signed for this purpose on the strut. Other-
wise, the vehicle may be damaged. Removing and fitting a wheel
Change the wheel after loosening the wheel
bolts
and r

aising the vehicle with the jack.
Taking off the wheel ● Unscrew the wheel bolts using the box
sp anner and p

lace them on a clean surface.
● Take off the wheel.
Putting on the s
pare wheel
When fitting tyres with a compulsory rotation
direction, observe the instructions in
››› page 68.
● Mount the wheel.
● Screw on the wheel bolts in position and
tighten them loosely
with a box spanner.
● Carefully lower the vehicle using the jack*.
● Tighten the wheel bolts in diagonal pairs
usin
g the wheel brace.
The wheel bolts should be clean and turn
easily. Before fitting the spare wheel, inspect
the wheel condition and hub mounting surfa- ces. These surfaces must be clean before fit-
ting the wheel.
T

yres with compulsory direction of ro-
tation A directional tread pattern can be identified
by
the arr

ows on the sidewall that point in
the direction of rotation. Always observe the
direction of rotation indicated when fitting
the wheel to guarantee optimum properties
of this type of tyres with regard to grip,
noises, wear and aquaplaning.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit the spare
tyre* against the direction of rotation, drive
with care as this means the tyre does not of-
fer optimum driving properties. This is of par-
ticular importance when the road surface is
wet.
To return to directional tread tires, replace
the punctured tyre as soon as possible and
restore the obligatory direction of rotation of
all tyres.
Subsequent work ●

››› page 66.68

The essentials
● Ret
urn al
l tools to their proper storing loca-
tion.
● If the replaced wheel does not fit in the
spar
e wheel housing, store it safely in the
luggage compartment ›››
 page 160.
● Check the tyre pressure of the newly moun-
ted tyr
e as soon as possible.
● In vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure indi-
cator
, adjust the pressure and store the read-
ing in the radio/Easy Connect system*
›››  page 283.
● Have the tightening torque of the wheel
bolts c
hecked as soon as possible with a tor-
que wrench (it should be 120 Nm). Mean-
while, drive carefully.
● Have the flat tyre replaced as quickly as
poss
ible.
Snow chains Use Snow chains should only be used on the
fr
ont
wheel

s.
Check that they are correctly seated after
driving for a few yards; correct the position if
necessary, in accordance with the manufac-
turer's fitting instructions. Keep your speed
below 50 km/h (30 mph). If there is a danger of being trapped despite
havin

g mounted the chains, it is best to disa-
ble the driving wheels (ASR) in the ESC
›››  page 188, Switching on/off the ESC
and ASR.
Snow chains will improve braking ability as
well as traction in winter conditions.
For technical reasons snow chains may only
be used with the following wheel rim/tyre
combination.
195/65 R15Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
205/55 R16Chains with links of maximum 15 mm
225/45 R17Chains with links of maximum 9 mm
225/40 R18Chains with links of maximum 9 mm Remove wheel covers and any integral trim
rin
g bef
or

e fitting snow chains.
Remove the chains when roads are free of
snow. Driving characteristics worsen, and the
wheels become damaged quickly and may
even be rendered unusable. Emergency towing of the vehi-
