The radio remote control comprises electronic components and must therefore be
protected against water, severe impacts and direct sunlight. ÐChanging the battery of the radio remote control
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 87.
If the warning light on the radio remote control indicates a weak or discharged
battery, C
» Fig. 92 on page 89
, it must be replaced. The battery is located under
a cover B
» Fig. 92
on page 89 on the back of the radio remote control.
› Insert a flat, blunt object, such as a coin, into the gap on the battery cover, turn
the cover in the opposite direction of the arrow up to the mark and unlock it.
› Change the battery, replace the battery cover and lock it by moving it in the di-
rection of the arrow. For the sake of the environment
Dispose of the old battery in accordance with environmental regulations. Note
■ Pay attention to the correct polarity when changing the battery.
■ The replacement battery must have the same specification as the original bat-
tery. Ð

The AUX-IN input is located below the front armrest and is marked with .
The input MDI is located in the storage compartment on the front passenger side.
The AUX-IN and MDI inputs are used to connect external audio sources (e.g. iPod
or mp3 player) and to play back music from these devices via the factory-fitted ra-
dio or navigation system.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Refuelling 155
Unleaded petrol 156
Ethanol E85 157
Diesel fuel 158
The correct type of fuel for your vehicle and the tyre size and inflation pressure
are specified on the inside of the fuel filler flap » Fig. 129 on page 155 - . WARNING
The national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare canister
in the vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehi-
cle for safety reasons. In the event of an accident, the canister might be dam-
aged and fuel may leak out - risk of fire! CAUTION
■ Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring, which can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and exhaust system. ■ Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork - risk
of paint damage! Ð Refuelling
Fig. 129
Right rear side of the vehicle: Open fuel filler flap/fuel filler flap
with cap unscrewed
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 155.
The filler flap is automatically unlocked or locked with the central locking.
Open fuel filler flap
›
Press in the middle of the left area of the fuel filler flap
» Fig. 129 -  .
› Unscrew the filler cap by turning it to the left and place the cap onto the top of
the fuel filler flap » Fig. 129 - .
Closing the filler cap
› Turn the filler cap to the right until it clicks into place.
› Close the fuel filler flap until it clicks into place.
Check that the fuel filler flap is closed properly. CAUTION
■ Before refuelling it is necessary to switch off the auxiliary heating system (aux-
iliary heating and ventilation).
■ The fuel tank is full just as soon as the pump nozzle switches off for the first
time, provided the nozzle has been operated properly. Do not continue filling the
fuel tank otherwise the expansion volume is filled up. £

Inspecting and replenishing

Changing engine oil
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 158.
The engine oil must be changed at the intervals stated in the Service schedule or
according to the service interval indicator
» page 10, Service Interval Display.CAUTION
Additives must not be added to the engine oil - risk of causing considerable dam-
age to parts of the engine! Damage, which results from such product, are exclu-
ded from the warranty. Note
If your skin has come into contact with oil, it must be washed thoroughly. ÐCoolant
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 158.
The cooling system is filled with a coolant in the factory.
The coolant consists of water with a concentration of coolant additive of 40 %.
This mixture provides antifreeze protection down to -25
°C and also protects the
cooling and heating system from corrosion. It also prevents the formation of scale
and significantly increases the boiling point of the coolant.
The concentration of coolant must therefore not be reduced by adding water dur-
ing the summer months or in countries with a warm climate. The concentration of
coolant additive in the coolant must be at least 40 %. 40 %.
If a higher concentration of antifreeze is required for climatic reasons, the amount
of coolant additive can only be increased up to 60 % (antifreeze protection down
to approx. -40 °C). The antifreeze protection tails off above that concentration.
Vehicles exported to countries with a cold climate are already factory-filled with a
coolant which offers antifreeze protection down to about -35 °C. In these coun-
tries the concentration of coolant additive should be at least 50 %.
When refilling, we only recommend you use the same antifreeze written on the
antifreeze expansion tank » Fig. 135 on page 163.

2.0 ltr/103 kW TDI CR DPF 8.4
2.0 ltr./125 kW TDI CR 8.4 CAUTION
■ Other coolant additives that do not comply with the correct specifications can
above all significantly reduce the anticorrosion effect.
■ Any faults resulting from corrosion may cause a loss of coolant and can conse-
quently result in major engine damage! Note
On vehicles that are fitted with an auxiliary heater (auxiliary heating and ventila-
tion), the coolant capacity is approx. 1 l larger. Ð
