accident. Always engage the ball coupling as described.
X Pull the ball coupling in the direction of the arrow until it engages in a vertical position. Indicator lamp ? goes out. The power socket folds down automatically. The multifunction display shows the Check trailer hitch lock display mes- sage until the ball coupling is engaged.
X Remove the protective covering from the ball coupling and store it in a safe place.
X Make sure that the ball of the ball coupling is clean and that it is either greased or dry (grease free), depending on the instruc- tions for the trailer.
Coupling up a trailer X Make sure that the transmission is in posi-
tion P.
X Apply the electric parking brake. X Position the trailer level behind the vehicle. X Couple up the trailer. X Establish the electric connection between
the vehicle and the trailer.
X Check that the trailer lighting system is
working. A trailer that is connected is recognised only when the electrical connection is established correctly and when the lighting system is working properly. The function of other systems, such as ESP® or PARK- TRONIC also depends on this.
Uncoupling a trailer G WARNING If you uncouple a trailer with an engaged over- run brake, you could trap your hand between

the vehicle and the trailer drawbar. This poses a risk of injury. Do not uncouple a trailer with an engaged overrun brake.
! Do not disconnect a trailer with an
engaged overrun brake. Otherwise, your vehicle could be damaged by the rebound- ing of the overrun brake.
! Remove the installed adapter cable
before folding in the ball coupling. Other- wise, damage may occur to the rear bumper and the adapter cable.
X Make sure that the transmission is in posi-
tion P.
X Apply the electric parking brake. X Secure the trailer against rolling away. X Remove the trailer cable and decouple the
trailer.
Folding in the ball coupling G WARNING If you release the ball coupling or it does not engage correctly when folding in, it will swing out. Within pivoting range of the ball coupling, there is an increased risk of an accident and injury. Only release the ball coupling if the pivoting range is unobstructed. Always make sure that the ball coupling engages when folding in.
X Fold the ball coupling back in if you are not
using the trailer tow hitch.
X Place the protective covering on the ball
coupling.
The release wheel is located behind the left- hand side trim panel in the boot.
X To open the cover: turn handle : anti-
clockwise and fold down cover ; and remove it.
X Pull out release wheel =. X Turn release wheel = anti-clockwise as far
as it will go. The ball coupling disengages and folds out behind the rear bumper. Indicator lamp ? flashes.
206 Towing a trailer
X Press the ball coupling in the direction of
the arrow until it engages behind the bumper. Indicator lamp ? goes out and the mes- sage in the multifunction display disap- pears.
Trailer power supply ! You can connect accessories with a
power rating of up to 240 W to the perma- nent power supply and with a power rating of up to 180 W to the power supply that is switched on via the ignition lock. The trailer battery may not be charged from the power supply.
X To switch the connected power supply on or off: turn the key in the ignition lock to position 2 or 0 respectively.
When it leaves the factory, your vehicle's trailer socket is equipped with a permanent power supply and a power supply that is switched on via the ignition lock. The permanent power supply is supplied via trailer socket pin 9. The power supply that is switched on via the ignition lock is supplied via trailer socket pin 10. The trailer's permanent power supply is switched off in the event of low vehicle supply voltage and after six hours at the latest. You can find more information about instal- ling the trailer electrics at a qualified special- ist workshop.
Bulb failure indicator for LED lamps i If LED lamps are fitted in the trailer, an error message may appear in the multi- function display even if there is no fault. The reason for the error message could be that the current has fallen below the minimum of 50 mA.
To ensure reliable operation of the bulb failure indicator, each LED chain in the trailer lighting must be guaranteed a minimum current of 50 mA.
Trailer with 7-pin connector General notes Trailer with 7-pin connector: you can con- nect to the 13-pin socket on the ball coupling using an adapter or, if necessary, an adapter cable. Both can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.
Fitting the adapter ! Make sure that there is sufficient cable
play so that the cable cannot become detached when cornering.
! Remove the installed adapter cable
before folding in the ball coupling. Other- wise, damage may occur to the rear bumper and the adapter cable.
X Open the socket cover. X Insert the plug connector with lug : into groove = on the socket. Turn bayonet con- nection ; clockwise to the stop.
X Let the cover engage. X If you are using an adapter cable, secure
the cable to the trailer with cable ties.

Important safety notes
G WARNING Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle while driving will distract you from traffic con- ditions. You could then lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident. Only operate these devices if road traffic con- ditions permit. If you are unsure about the surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe location and make entries only while the vehi- cle is stationary. G WARNING If the instrument cluster has failed or mal- functioned, you may not recognise function restrictions relevant to safety. The operating safety of your vehicle may be impaired. There is a risk of an accident. Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked at a qualified specialist workshop immedi- ately.
times. Otherwise, a vehicle that is not oper- ating safely may cause an accident. For an overview, see the instrument panel illustration (Y page 30).
Displays and operation Instrument cluster lighting The lighting in the instrument cluster, in the displays and the controls in the vehicle inte- rior can be adjusted using the brightness con- trol knob. The brightness control knob is on the bottom left of the instrument cluster (Y page 30). X Turn the brightness control knob clockwise
or anti-clockwise. If the light switch is set to Ã, T or L, the brightness is dependant upon the brightness of the ambient light.
i The light sensor in the instrument cluster
automatically controls the brightness of the multifunction display. In daylight, the displays in the instrument cluster are not illuminated.
Coolant temperature gauge The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the right-hand side. The reading may rise up to 120 † below nor- mal driving conditions if the coolant has been filled correctly. At high outside temperatures and when driv- ing uphill, the coolant temperature may rise to the end of the scale.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating the on-board computer. The on-board computer only shows messages or warnings from certain systems in the mul- tifunction display. You should therefore make sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
