Towing

During towing, the car is towed by another
vehicle by means of a towline.

Towing a Twin Engine is not permitted as this
will damage the electric motor. Instead, the
car must be transported raised with all the
wheels on a recovery vehicle's platform, nei-
ther of the wheel pairs may have road contact.

When towing another car

Towing a car requires a lot of energy - use the

Constant AWD

 drive mode. This then

charges the hybrid battery, in combination
with improving the car's driving characteristics
and roadholding.

Find out the statutory maximum speed limit
for towing before the towing begins.

Jump starting

Tow-starting the motor is not permitted as
this will damage the electric motor. Use a
donor battery if the starter battery is dis-
charged and the engine does not start.

IMPORTANT

The electric drive motor and the catalytic
converter may be damaged during
attempts to tow-start the car.

Fitting and removing the towing

eye

Use the towing eye if the car shall tow
another vehicle. The towing eye is screwed
into a threaded socket behind a cover on the
right-hand side of the rear bumper.

NOTE

If the car is equipped with a towbar, there
is no rear mounting for a towing eye.

Fitting the towing eye

Take out the towing eye from the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area.

Remove the cover – press on the marking
with a finger while you fold out the oppo-
site side/corner.
> The cover pivots around its centre line

and can then be removed.

3. Screw in the towing eye until it reaches its

end stop.

Screw the eye in firmly. For example,
thread through the wheel bolt wrench

*

 and

use it as a lever.

IMPORTANT

It is important that the towing eye is firmly
screwed into place - right in until it stops.

Removing the towing eye

–

Unscrew and remove the towing eye after
use and return it to its place in the foam
block.

Finish by refitting the cover onto the
bumper.

Recovery

For recovery, the car is taken away with the
help of another vehicle.

Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

The towing eye can be used to pull the car up
onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form.

IMPORTANT

Note that cars with Twin Engine must
always be transported raised up with all
the wheels on the recovery vehicle's plat-
form.

Applies to cars with level control

*

: If the car

is equipped with air suspension, this must be
disabled before the car is raised. Deactivating
the function via the centre display.

1. Press 

Settings

 in the top view.

2. Press 

My Car

Parking Brake and

Suspension

.

3. Select 

Disable Leveling Control

.

The car's position and ground clearance deter-
mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto a
flatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery
vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground
clearance under the car is inadequate, then
the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up.

The car should then be lifted using the recov-
ery vehicle's lifting device.

WARNING

No one/nothing is allowed to remain

behind the recovery vehicle while the car

pulled up onto the flatbed platform.

Sound, media and Internet

The audio and media system consists of
media player and radio. You can also connect
a phone via Bluetooth to use handsfree func-
tions or play music wirelessly in the car.
When the car is connected to the Internet
you can also use apps for media playback.

Overview of audio and media

Control the functions with your voice, steering
wheel keypad or the centre display. The num-
ber of speakers and amplifiers depends on
which audio system the car is equipped with.

System updating

The audio and media system is continuously
improved. It is recommended to download
system updates when new ones are available.

Audio settings

The sound reproduction quality is preset, but
it can be adjusted as well.

The volume is normally adjusted with the vol-
ume control below the centre display or with
the right-hand steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, during playback of music,
radio, ongoing phone calls and active traffic
messages.

Sound reproduction

The sound system is pre-calibrated by means
of digital signal processing. This calibration
takes into account loudspeakers, amplifiers,
passenger compartment acoustics, listener
position, etc., for each combination of car
model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account
the setting of the volume control and vehicle
speed.
