Vehicle battery discharge protection
To ensure reliable engine restarts,
several vehicle battery discharge
protection features are implemented
as part of the stop-start system.
Power saving measures
During an Autostop, several electrical
features such as auxiliary electric
heater or rear window heating are
disabled or switched to a power
saving mode. The fan speed of the
climate control system is reduced to
save power.
Restart of the engine by the driver

If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during the restart might be noticeable.

Driving and operating205After the automatic cut-off, the tank
can be topped up by operating the
pump nozzle a maximum of two more
times.Caution
Wipe off any overflowing fuel
immediately.
To close, turn the fuel filler cap
clockwise until it clicks.
Close the flap and allow it to engage.
Fuel filler cap
Only use genuine fuel filler caps.
Diesel-engined vehicles have special fuel filler caps.
Trailer hitch
General information
Only use towing equipment that has
been approved for the vehicle.
Entrust retrofitting of towing
equipment to a workshop. It may be
necessary to make changes that
affect the cooling system, heat
shields or other equipment.
Driving characteristics and towing tips
Before attaching a trailer, lubricate
the coupling ball. However, do not do so if a stabiliser, which acts on thecoupling ball, is being used to reduce
snaking movements.
During trailer towing do not exceed a
speed of 50 mph. A maximum speed
of 60 mph is only appropriate if an
oscillation damper is used and the
permissible gross trailer weight does
not exceed the vehicle's curb weight.For trailers with low driving stability
and caravan trailers, the use of an
oscillation damper is strongly
recommended.
If the trailer starts snaking, drive more slowly, do not attempt to correct the
steering and brake sharply if
necessary.
When driving downhill, drive in the
same gear as if driving uphill and
drive at a similar speed.
If the outside temperature exceeds
37 °C, reduce the load on the trailer
to protect the engine of the vehicle.
At high outside temperatures it is
recommended to leave the engine
running for one or two minutes after
having stopped the vehicle in order to
faciliate cooling.
Adjust tyre pressure to the value
specified for full load 3 271.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance of the vehicle. To limit the
heating of the brakes, it is
recommended to use the braking
effect of the engine.

206Driving and operatingBy driving uphill, the temperature of
the coolant is increased. To reduce
heating, drive at a reduced speed and
pay attention to the coolant
temperature. If the control indicator
2 of the engine coolant temperature
gauge illuminates, stop the vehicle
and switch off engine as soon as
possible.
Trailer towing Trailer loadsThe permissible trailer loads are
vehicle and engine-dependent
maximum values which must not be
exceeded. The actual trailer load is
the difference between the actual
gross weight of the trailer and the
actual coupling socket load with the
trailer coupled.
The permissible trailer loads are
specified in the vehicle documents. In general, they are valid for gradients
up to 12%.
The permissible trailer load applies
up to the specified incline and at sea
level. Since engine power decreases
as altitude increases due to the airbecoming thinner, therefore reducing
climbing ability, the permissible gross
train weight also decreases by 10%
for every 1000 metres of altitude. The gross train weight does not have to be
reduced when driving on roads with
slight inclines (less than 8%, e.g.
motorways).
The permissible gross train weight must not be exceeded. This weight is
specified on the identification plate
3 264.
When distributing the loads in the
trailer, heavy objects should be
placed as close as possible to the
axle.
Vertical coupling load
The vertical coupling load is the load
exerted by the trailer on the coupling
ball. It can be varied by changing the
weight distribution when loading the
trailer.
The maximum permissible vertical
coupling load is specified on the
towing equipment identification plate
and in the vehicle documents.Always aim for the maximum vertical
coupling load, especially in the case
of heavy trailers. The vertical coupling load should never fall below 25 kg.
Rear axle load
When the trailer is coupled and the
towing vehicle fully loaded, the
permissible rear axle load (see
identification plate or vehicle
documents) may be exceeded by
60 kg , the gross vehicle weight rating
must not be exceeded. If the
permissible rear axle load is
exceeded, a maximum speed of
60 mph applies.
Towing equipment Depending on version the vehicle canbe fitted with a detachable or a fixed
coupling ball bar.
Type ACaution
When operating without a trailer,
remove the coupling ball bar.

218Vehicle care● See the Owner's Manual forfurther information.
● Explosive gas may be present in the vicinity of the vehicle battery.
Heating functionalities Notice
Individual heating functionalities,
such as heated seats or heated
steering wheel, may be temporarily
unavailable in the event of electrical
loading constraints. Functions will
be resumed after some minutes.
Power saving mode
This mode deactivates electrical
consumers to avoid excessive
discharging of the vehicle battery.
These consumers, such as the
Infotainment system, windscreen
wipers, low beam headlights,
courtesy light, etc. can be used for a
total maximum time of about
40 minutes after ignition is switched
off.Deactivating power saving mode
Power saving mode is deactivated
automatically when the engine is
restarted. Run the engine for a
sufficient charge:
● for less than 10 minutes to use the consumers for approx.
5 minutes
● for more than 10 minutes to use the consumers for up to approx.
30 minutes
Diesel fuel system bleeding If the tank has been run dry, the diesel fuel system must be bled. The
bleeding procedure differs between
the engine types 3 268. Fuel up with
at least five litres of diesel before
starting the bleeding procedure.
Engines DV5RUCd, DV5RUC 1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Wait 1 minute and switch off the
ignition.
3. Try to start the engine.
If the engine does not start after a
short time, repeat the procedure.Engines DW10FEU, DW10FD,
DW10FDCU, DW10F
1. Switch on the ignition.
2. Wait 6 seconds and switch off the ignition.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for ten times.
4. Try to start the engine.
If the engine does not start after a
short time, repeat the procedure.
Engine DV6DU1. Open the engine bonnet.
2. If necessary, unclip the engine
style cover to access the priming
pump.
3. Operate the priming pump
repeatedly until resistance is felt
(there may be resistance at the first
press).
4. Try to start the engine. If the engine
does not start after a short time, wait
around 15 seconds before trying
again. If the engine does not start
after a few attempts, repeat step 3
and try again to start the engine.
5. Put the engine style cover in place
and clip it in.

254Vehicle careDo not clean the engine compartmentwith a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and
glass surfaces: remnants of wax on
the windows will impair vision.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, do not use
an ice scraper, and do not clean them dry.
Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly at the latest
when water no longer beads.
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits
have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.
Windows and wiper blades Switch off wipers before handling in
their areas.
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois
leather together with window cleaner
and insect remover.
Use only water-repellent products
approved for the vehicle.
When cleaning the rear window from
inside, always wipe in parallel to the
heating element to prevent damage.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so
that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.
Remove dirt residues from smearing
wiper blades by using a soft cloth and
window cleaner. Also make sure to
remove any residues such as wax,
insect residues and similar from the
window.Ice residues, pollution and continuous
wiping on dry windows will damage or
even destroy the wiper blades.
Glass panel Never clean with solvents or abrasive
agents, fuels, aggressive media e.g.
paint cleaner, acetone-containing
solutions, acidic or highly alkaline
media or abrasive pads.
Wheels and tyres
Do not use high-pressure jet
cleaners.
Clean rims with a pH-neutral wheel
cleaner.
Rims are painted and can be treated
with the same agents as the body.
Paintwork damageRectify minor paintwork damage witha touch-up pen before rust forms.
Have more extensive damage or rust
areas repaired by a workshop.
