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-

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 Trailers with 7-pin connector: you can make a connection to the 13-pin connector on the ball coupling using an adapter plug or, if necessary, an adapter cable. Both can be obtained in 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 connector with lug : into
groove ; of the socket. Turn the connec- tor clockwise to the stop.

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.
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
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 G WARNING If you open the bonnet while the engine is overheating or while there is a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other leaking service products. There is a danger of injury. Allow an overheating engine to cool down before opening the bonnet. If there is a fire in the engine compartment, leave the bonnet closed and notify the fire brigade.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the right-hand side. Under normal operating conditions and with the specified coolant level, the coolant tem- perature may rise to 120 †.
Displays and operation 209
At high outside temperatures and when driv- ing uphill, the coolant temperature may rise to the end of the scale.
Operating the on-board computer Overview
Rev counter ! Do not drive in the overrevving range.
Doing so will damage the engine.
The red band in the rev counter indicates the engine's overrevving range. The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the engine when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature display You should pay special attention to road con- ditions when temperatures are around the freezing point. The outside temperature display is in the mul- tifunction display. Changes in the outside temperature are dis- played after a short delay.

This is the case, e.g. in enclosed spaces, or if the vehicle is stuck in snow. There is a risk of fatal injuries. You should switch off the auxiliary heating in enclosed spaces which do not have an extrac- tion system, e.g. a garage. If the vehicle is stuck in snow and you must leave the auxiliary heating running, keep the exhaust pipe and the area around the vehicle clear of snow. To guarantee a sufficient supply of fresh air, open a window on the side of the vehicle away from the wind. G WARNING When the auxiliary heating is switched on, parts of the vehicle can become very hot. Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system for extended periods. There is a risk of fire. When the auxiliary heating is switched on, make sure that no flammable material can come into contact with hot vehicle compo- nents.
! Operating the auxiliary heating/ventila- tion draws on the vehicle battery. After you have heated or ventilated the vehicle a maximum of two times, drive for a longer distance.
i Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly
once a month for about ten minutes.
