Messages in the instrument cluster display (valid for vehicles without MAXIDOT
info display*)
WARNING
•
The brake servo unit and power steerin g only operate if the engine is
running.
•
Never let the vehicle roll wi th the engine switched off.Caution
If the “START-STOP” system is used at very high outside temperatures over a very long
period of time, the vehicle battery can be damaged.
Note
•
Changes to the outdoor temperature can ha ve an effect on the internal tempera-
ture of the vehicle battery even after severa l hours. If the vehicle remains outdoors for
a long time in minus temperatures or in dire ct sunlight, it can take several hours until
the internal temperature of the vehicle battery reaches a suitable temperature for
proper operation of the “START STOP” system.
•
In some instances it may be necessary to start the engine manually with the igni-
tion key (e.g. when the seat belt is not inserted or the driver's door is opened for more
than 30 seconds). Follow the messages in the display of the instrument cluster.
•
If the air conditioning Climatronic* is running in automatic mode, under certain
conditions, the engine may no t switch off automatically.

Tyre repair kit*5
Grades of petrolPrescribed fuel - unleaded petrol 98/(95) RON
Use unleaded petrol 98 RON. You can also use unleaded RON 95. However some loss
of power is to be expected when doing so.
If unleaded RON 98 or RON 95 is not available, you ca n refuel with unleaded RON 91
in an emergency. After refuelling, conti nue driving at medium engine speeds and
minimum engine load. Driving at high engine speeds or heavy engine loads can lead
to serious engine damage! Refuel with pe trol with the specified octane number as
often as possible.
Fuel with a lower octane number than RON 91 must not be used even in an emer-
gency. Otherwise you can ca use serious engine damage!Tyre repair kit*General informationThe tyre repair kit is located in a box und er the carpet in the luggage compartment.
Use the tyre repair kit to reliably repair tyre damage caused by foreign bodies or a
puncture with diameters up to 4 mm. Do no t remove foreign bodies, e.g. screws or
nails, from the tyre!
The repair can be undertaken on the vehicle immediately. The repair with the tyre repair kit is
not at all intended to replace a permanent repair
on the tyre, this repair only serves to reach the next specialist garage.
Do not use the tyre repair kit:
•
to repair wheel damage,
•
in outside temperatures of less than -20 °C (-4 °F),
•
with gashes or punctures more than 4 mm in size,
•
to repair damage to the tyre wall,
•
for driving with very low tyre pressure or with a flat tyre,
•
if the use-by-date (see inflation bottle) has passed.
WARNING
•
If you find yourself in flowing traffic switch on the hazard warning lights
system and place the warning triangle on the side of the road at the prescribed
distance from your vehicle. Comply with the national legal regulations. In this
way you are protecting not only yourself but also other road users.
•
Park the vehicle as far away as possible from the traffic flow. Park on as flat
and firm a surface as possible.
•
A tyre filled with sealant has the same driving characteristics as a standard
tyre.
•
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h, (50 mph).
•
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
