Vehicle care

The front arm position of the lifting

platform is centrically under the

relevant vehicle jacking point.

Spare wheel

The spare wheel can be classified as

a temporary spare wheel depending

on the size compared to the other

mounted wheels and country

regulations. In this case a permissible

maximum speed applies, even

though no label at the spare wheel

indicates this.
If there is a label on the spare wheel,

the permissible speed still depends

on the country regulations.
Only mount one temporary spare

wheel. Take curves slowly. Do not

use for a long period of time.

Caution

The use of a spare wheel that is

smaller than the other wheels or in

combination with winter tyres

could affect driveability. Have the

defective tyre replaced as soon as

possible.

The spare wheel is located in the load

compartment beneath the floor

covering.
To remove:

1. Open the floor cover

60.

2. The temporary spare wheel is

secured with a wing nut. Unscrew

nut and take out the spare wheel.

3. When, after a wheel change, no

wheel is placed in the spare wheel

well, tighten the wing nut and

close floor cover.

4. After wheel change back to full

size wheel, place the temporary

spare wheel in the well and secure

with the wing nut.

The permissible maximum speed on

the label on the temporary spare

wheel is only valid for the factory-

fitted tyre size.

Fitting the spare wheel

Make the following preparations and

observe the following information:

● Park the vehicle on a level, firm

and non-skid surface. The front

wheels must be in the straight-

ahead position.

● Apply the parking brake and

engage first gear, reverse gear or

● Place a chock under the wheel

diagonally opposite the wheel to

be changed.

● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one

wheel at once.

● Use the jack only to change

wheels in case of puncture, not

for seasonal winter or summer

tyre change.

● The jack is maintenance-free.

Vehicle care

231

● If the ground on which the vehicle

is standing is soft, a solid board

(approx. 1 cm thick) should be

placed under the jack.

● Take heavy objects out of the

vehicle before jacking up.

● No people or animals may be in

the vehicle when it is jacked-up.

● Never crawl under a jacked-up

vehicle.

● Do not start the vehicle when it is

raised on the jack.

● Before screwing in the wheel

bolts, clean them.

Warning

Do not grease wheel bolts.

Warning

Ensure to use always the correct

wheel bolts if changing the

wheels. When installing the spare

wheel for temporary usage, the

bolts for alloy wheel rims can also

be used.

● Note that the spare wheel is

secured by the conical contact of

each bolt if the wheel bolts for the

alloy wheel rims are used. In this

case, the washers do not come

into contact with the spare wheel.

1. Disengage wheel bolt caps with

the wheel bolt cover remover.

Vehicle care

237

Appearance care

Exterior care

Locks

The locks are lubricated at the factory

using a high quality lock cylinder

grease. Use a de-icing agent only

when absolutely necessary, as this

has a degreasing effect and impairs

lock function. After using a de-icing

agent, have the locks regreased by a

workshop.

Washing

The paintwork of your vehicle is

exposed to environmental influences.
Bird droppings, dead insects, resin,

pollen and the like should be cleaned

off immediately, as they contain

aggressive constituents which can

cause paint damage.
If using a vehicle wash, comply with

the vehicle wash manufacturer's

instructions. The windscreen wiper

and rear window wiper must be

switched off. Remove antenna and

external accessories such as roof

racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,

make sure that the insides of the

wheel housings are also thoroughly

rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened

doors and the bonnet as well as the

areas they cover.
Clean bright metal mouldings with a

cleaning solution approved for

aluminium to avoid damages.

Caution

Always use a cleaning agent with

a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot

surfaces.

Do not clean the engine compartment

with 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

Polishing is necessary only if the paint

has become dull or if solid deposits

have become attached to it.
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.
When cleaning the rear window from

inside, always wipe in parallel to the

heating element to prevent damage.

238

Vehicle care

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. 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.

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 damage

Rectify minor paintwork damage with

a touch-up pen before rust forms.

Have more extensive damage or rust

areas repaired by a workshop.

Underbody

Some areas of the vehicle underbody

have a PVC undercoating while other

critical areas have a durable

protective wax coating.
After the underbody is washed, check

the underbody and have it waxed if

necessary.
Bitumen / rubber materials could

damage the PVC coating. Have

underbody work carried out by a

workshop.
Before and after winter, wash the

underbody and have the protective

wax coating checked.

Towing equipment

Do not clean the coupling ball bar with

a steam-jet or high-pressure jet

cleaner.

Interior care

Interior and upholstery

Only clean the vehicle interior,

including the instrument panel fascia

and panelling, with a dry cloth or

interior cleaner.
Clean the leather upholstery with

clear water and a soft cloth. In case of

heavy soiling, use leather care.
The Driver Information Centre and

the displays should only be cleaned

using a soft damp cloth. If necessary

use a weak soap solution.
Clean the inside of the windscreen as

needed to remove any dirt or film that

could reduce the sharpness or clarity

of the head-up image.
Clean the head-up display lens in the

instrument panel with a soft cloth

sprayed with glass cleaner. Wipe the

lens gently, then dry it.
Clean fabric upholstery with a

vacuum cleaner and brush. Remove

stains with an upholstery cleaner.

Vehicle care

239

Clothing fabrics may not be

colourfast. This could cause visible

discolourations, especially on light-

coloured upholstery. Removable

stains and discolourations should be

cleaned as soon as possible.
Clean seat belts with lukewarm water

or interior cleaner.

Caution

Close Velcro fasteners as open

Velcro fasteners on clothing could

damage seat upholstery.
The same applies to clothing with

sharp-edged objects, like zips or

belts or studded jeans.

Plastic and rubber parts

Plastic and rubber parts can be

cleaned with the same cleaner as

used to clean the body. Use interior

cleaner if necessary. Do not use any

other agent. Avoid solvents and petrol

in particular. Do not use high-

pressure jet cleaners.

Floor mats

Warning

If a floor mat has the wrong size or

is not properly installed, it can

interfere with pedals, what can

cause unintended acceleration or

increased stopping distance which

can cause a crash and injury.

Use the following guidelines for

proper floor mat usage.

● The original equipment floor mats

were designed for this vehicle. If

the floor mats need to be

replaced, it is recommended to

buy certified floor mats which fit

properly and are fixed by the

retainers on the driver side.

Always check that the floor mats

do not interfere with the pedals.

● Use the floor mat with the correct

side up. Do not turn it over.

● Do not place anything on top of

the driver side floor mat.

● Use only a single floor mat on the

driver side.

Inserting and removing the floor

mats

The driver side floor mat is held in

place by two retainers.
To install the floor mat:

1. Move the seat backwards as far

as possible.

2. Align slots in the mat with the

retainers, as shown.

3. Push the mat to the floor.

Recommended fluids and

lubricants

Only use products that meet the

recommended specifications.

Warning

Operating materials are

hazardous and could be

poisonous. Handle with care. Pay

attention to information given on

the containers.

Engine oil

Engine oil is identified by its quality

and its viscosity. Quality is more

important than viscosity when

selecting which engine oil to use. The

oil quality ensures e.g. engine

cleanliness, wear protection and oil

aging control, whereas viscosity

grade gives information on the oil's

thickness over a temperature range.

Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature.

Topping up engine oil

Caution

In case of any spilled oil, wipe it up

and dispose it properly.

Engine oils of different manufacturers

and brands can be mixed as long as

they comply with the required engine

oil quality and viscosity.
Use of engine oils for all petrol

engines with only ACEA quality is

prohibited, since it can cause engine

damage under certain operating

conditions.
Select the appropriate engine oil

based on its quality and on the

minimum ambient temperature.

Additional engine oil additives

The use of additional engine oil

additives could cause damage and

invalidate the warranty.

Engine oil viscosity grades

The SAE viscosity grade gives

information of the thickness of the oil.
Multigrade oil is indicated by two

figures, e.g. SAE 5W-30. The first

figure, followed by a W, indicates the

low temperature viscosity and the

second figure the high temperature

viscosity.
Select the appropriate viscosity grade

depending on the minimum ambient

temperature.
All of the recommended viscosity

grades are suitable for high ambient

temperatures.

Coolant and antifreeze

Use only antifreeze approved for the

vehicle. Consult a workshop.
The system is factory filled with

coolant designed for excellent

corrosion protection and frost

protection down to approx. -28 °C. In

cold regions with very low

temperatures the factory filled coolant

provides frost protection down to

approx. -37 °C. This concentration

should be maintained all year round.

244

Service and maintenance

The use of additional coolant

additives that intend to give additional

corrosion protection or seal against

minor leaks can cause function

problems. Liability for consequences

resulting from the use of additional

coolant additives will be rejected.

Washer fluid

Use only washer fluid approved for

the vehicle to prevent damage of

wiper blades, paintwork, plastic and

rubber parts. Consult a workshop.

Brake and clutch fluid

Over time, brake fluid absorbs

moisture which will reduce braking

effectiveness. The brake fluid should

therefore be replaced at the specified

interval.
Use only brake fluid approved for the

vehicle. Consult a workshop.

AdBlue

Only use AdBlue to reduce the

nitrogen oxides in the exhaust

emission

Vehicle data recording

and privacy

Emergency call data

recording and privacy

Data processing

All processing of personal information

by the emergency call function

complies with the framework for

protection of personal information

established by regulation 2016/679

(GDPR) and directive 2002/58/EC of

the European Parliament and the

Council, and in particular, seeks to

protect the vital interests of the data

subject, in accordance with article

6.1, paragraph d) of regulation

2016/679.
The processing of personal

information is strictly limited to the

requirements of the emergency call

function used with the European

emergency call number.
The emergency call function is only

able to collect and process the

following data relating to the vehicle:

chassis number, type (passenger

258

Customer information

vehicle or light commercial vehicle),

fuel type or power source, three most

recent locations and direction of

travel, number of passengers and a

timestamped log file recording

technical data related to the system's

operation.
The recipients of the processed data

are the emergency call handling

centres designated by the relevant

national authorities in the territory in

which they are located, enabling

priority routing and handling of calls to

the emergency number.

Data storage

Data contained in the system's

memory is not accessible from

outside the system until a call is

made. The system is not traceable

and is not continuously monitored in

its normal operation mode.
The data in the system's internal

memory is automatically and

continuously erased. Only the

vehicle's three most recent locations,

necessary for the normal functioning

of the system, are stored.

When an emergency call is triggered,

the data log is stored for no more than

13 hours.

Access to data

You have the right to access the data

and, if necessary, submit a request to

rectify, erase or restrict the

processing of any personal

information not processed in

accordance with the provisions of

Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). Third

parties to which data has been

communicated shall be notified of any

rectification, erasure or restriction

carried out in accordance with the

aforementioned directive, unless

doing so would be impossible or

require a disproportionate effort.
You also have the right to lodge a

complaint with the relevant data

protection authority.
If you want to claim your above-

mentioned rights please contact us

per email at

privacyrights@mpsa.com.

For more information regarding our

contact details please take a look at

our Privacy & Cookies Policy on our

Event data recorders

Electronic control units are installed in

your vehicle. Control units process

data which is received by vehicle

sensors, for example, or which they

generate themselves or exchange

amongst themselves. Some control

units are necessary for the safe

functioning of your vehicle, others

assist you while you drive (driver

assistance systems), while others

provide comfort or infotainment

functions.
The following contains general

information about data processing in

the vehicle. You will find additional

information as to which specific data

is uploaded, stored and passed on to

third parties and for what purpose in

your vehicle under the key word Data

Protection closely linked to the

references for the affected functional

Customer information

characteristics in the relevant owner's

manual or in the general terms of

sale. These are also available online.

Operating data in the vehicle

Control units process data for

operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, for example:

● vehicle status information (e.g.

speed, movement delay, lateral

acceleration, wheel rotation rate,

"seat belts fastened" display)

● ambient conditions (e.g.

temperature, rain sensor,

distance sensor)

As a rule such data is transient and is

not stored for longer than an

operational cycle, and only processed

on board the vehicle itself. Often

control units include data storage

(including the vehicle key). This is

used to allow information to be

documented temporarily or

permanently on vehicle condition,

component stress, maintenance

requirements and technical events

and errors.

Depending on technical equipment

levels, the data stored is as follows:

● system component operating

states (e.g. fill level, tyre

pressure, battery status)

● faults and defects in important

system components (e.g. lights,

brakes)

● system reactions in special

driving situations (e.g. triggering

of an airbag, actuation of the

stability control systems)

● information on events damaging

the vehicle

● for electric vehicles the amount of

charge in the high-voltage

battery, estimated range

In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle

has detected a malfunction), it may be

necessary to save data that would

otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,

maintenance), the operating data

saved can be read together with the

vehicle identification number and

used where necessary. Staff working

for the service network (e.g. garages,

manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.

breakdown services) can read the

data from the vehicle. The same

applies to warranty work and quality

assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD

(On-Board Diagnostics) port

prescribed by law in the vehicle. The

operating data read documents the

technical condition of the vehicle or

individual components and assists

with fault diagnosis, compliance with

warranty obligations and quality

improvement. This data, in particular

information on component stress,

technical events, operator errors and

other faults, is transmitted to the

manufacturer where appropriate,

together with the vehicle identification

number. The manufacturer is also

subject to product liability. The

manufacturer potentially also uses

operating data from vehicles for

product recalls. This data can also be

used to check customer warranty and

guarantee claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be

reset by a service company when

carrying out servicing or repairs or at

your request.

Customer information

Comfort and infotainment

functions

Comfort settings and custom settings

can be stored in the vehicle and

changed or reset at any time.
Depending on the equipment level in

question, these include

● seat and steering wheel position

settings

● chassis and air conditioning

settings

● custom settings such as interior

lighting

You can input your own data in the

infotainment functions for your

vehicle as part of the selected

features.
Depending on the equipment level in

question, these include

● multimedia data such as music,

videos or photos for playback in

an integrated multimedia system

● address book data for use with an

integrated hands-free system or

an integrated navigation system

● input destinations
● data on the use of online services

This data for comfort and

infotainment functions can be stored

locally in the vehicle or be kept on a

device that you have connected to the

vehicle (e.g. a smartphone, USB stick

or MP3 player). Data that you have

input yourself can be deleted at any

time.
This data can only be transmitted out

of the vehicle at your request,

particularly when using online

services in accordance with the

settings selected by you.

Smartphone integration, e.g.

Android Auto or Apple CarPlay

If your vehicle is equipped

accordingly, you can connect your

smartphone or another mobile device

to the vehicle so that you can control

it via the controls integrated in the

vehicle. The smartphone image and

sound can be output via the

multimedia system in this case. At the

same time, specific information is

transmitted to your smartphone.

Depending on the type of integration,

this includes data such as position

data, day / night mode and other

general vehicle information. For more

information, please see the operating

instructions for the vehicle /

infotainment system.
Integration allows selected

smartphone apps to be used, such as

navigation or music playback. No

further integration is possible

between smartphone and vehicle, in

particular active access to vehicle

data. The nature of further data

processing is determined by the

provider of the app used. Whether

you can define settings, and if so

which ones, is dependent on the app

in question and your smartphone's

operating system.
