Introduction

This Owner's Manual only describes the replacement of bulbs where it is possi-

ble to replace the bulbs on your own without any complications arising. Other

bulbs, Xenon gas-discharge lamps or LED lights must be replaced by a special-

ist garage.
We recommend having bulbs replaced by a specialist garage or seeking other

expert help in the event of any uncertainties.

▶

Switch off the ignition and all of the lights before replacing a bulb.

▶

Faulty bulbs must only be replaced with the same type of bulbs. The designa-

tion is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.

We recommend having the headlight settings checked by a specialist garage

after replacing a bulb in the low, high or fog beam.

WARNING

■

Always read and observe the warnings before completing any work in the

engine compartment 

» page 195

.

■

Accidents can be caused if the road in front of the vehicle is not suffi-

ciently illuminated and the vehicle cannot or can only be seen with difficulty

by other road users.

WARNING (Continued)

■

Bulbs H7 H8 and H15 are pressurised and may burst when changing the

bulb - risk of injury! We therefore recommended wearing gloves and safety

glasses when changing a bulb.

■

Do not carry out any work on the Xenon gas discharge lamps - risk of

death!

CAUTION

■

Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest

amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,

napkin, or similar.

■

The cap of the filament bulb must always be seated correctly in the head-

light, otherwise this may allow water and debris to enter the headlight - risk of

damage to the headlights.

Note

We recommend that a box of replacement bulbs always be carried in the vehi-

cle.

ommend that you have the light connection checked by a specialist garage.

Introduction

The details given in the vehicle's technical documentation always take prece-

dence over the details in the Owner's Manual.
The performance values listed were determined without performance-reduc-

ing equipment, e.g. air conditioning system.
The values given have been determined in accordance with regulations and in

conditions prescribed by legal or technical provisions for determining the op-

erating and technical data of vehicles.
The listed values are for the basic model without optional equipment.

Vehicle data

Type plate

Type plate

The type plate 

» Fig. 273

 is located at the bottom of the B-pillar on the right-

hand driver's side.
The type plate contains the following data.

Maximum permissible gross weight
Maximum permissible towed weight (towing vehicle and trailer)

Vehicle identification number (VIN)

The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into

the engine compartment on the right hand suspension strut dome. This num-

ber is also located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen

(together with a VIN bar code), and on the type plate.
In Infotainment, the VIN number can also be displayed in the menu

Service.

Engine number

The engine number is embossed in the engine block.

Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)

The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the

registration documents, field 17.

Maximum permissible trailer weight

The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to

1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the vehicle's climbing

power. Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maxi-

mum permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-

cle and the loaded trailer.

WARNING

Do not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-

dent and damage!

Operating weight

This value is only a guide value and corresponds to the lowest possible operat-

ing weight without any equipment added that would also increase the weight

(e.g. emergency or spare wheel etc.). This includes 75 kg driver's weight, the

weight of the operating fluids and the on-board tool kit and a fuel tank filled to

min. 90%.

Payload

It is possible to calculate the approximate maximum payload from the differ-

ence between the permissible total weight and the operating weight.
The payload consists of the following weights.

▶

The weight of the passengers.

▶

The weight of all items of luggage and other loads.

▶

The weight of the roof, including the roof rack system.

▶

The weight of the equipment that is excluded from the operating weight.
