The symmetrical low beam is needed in countries that drive on the other side of the road from the country of registration. Unlike the asymmetrical low beam, it does not dazzle oncoming traffic. The symmetrical low beam does not light up as much of the edge of the carriageway.
A flat tyre severely affects the driving characteristics as well as the steering and braking of the vehicle.
Tyres without run-flat characteristics:
Tyres with run-flat characteristics:
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle.
Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to dissipate water.
This means that in heavy rain or slush the risk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread.
Summer tyres: 3 mm
M+S tyres: 4 mm
If you cannot avoid driving over obstacles, e.g. kerbs, do so slowly and at an obtuse angle only. The wheel rims and tyres could otherwise be damaged.
Check the tyre pressure More
Visually check the wheels and tyres for damage
Check the valve caps
The valves must be protected against moisture and dirt with the valve caps specially approved for the vehicle.
Visually check the tyre tread depth and the tyre tread over the entire width.
The minimum tyre tread depth for summer tyres is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.
the vehicle bottoms out, e.g. on a high kerb or an unpaved road
the vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pothole
a heavy object strikes the underbody or chassis components
In such or similar cases, the body, underbody, chassis parts, wheels or tyres, or parts of the high-voltage battery could be damaged, even if the damage is not visible. Components damaged in this way may unexpectedly fail or no longer be able to withstand the loads they are subjected to in an accident as intended.
Modification work on the brake system and wheels is not permitted. The use of spacers or brake dust shields is not permitted. This will invalidate the general operating permit for the vehicle.
Check the wheels and tyres for damage at least once a month, as well as after driving off-road or on poorly surfaced roads.
Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the first 100 km. The tyres only attain their maximum performance after this distance.
The safety vest only meets the requirements defined by the legal standard if it is the correct size and fully closed when in use.
The safety vest must be replaced in the following cases:
it is damaged or dirt on the reflective strips can no longer be removed
if you exceed the maximum number of washes
if the fluorescence has faded
The safety vest is located in door stowage compartment of the front passenger door.
Warning triangle is secured behind the driver's seat backrest with a Velcro fastener. Return it to this location after use.
Check the expiry date on the first-aid kit at least once a year. Replace the contents if necessary, and replace any missing parts.
First-aid kit (soft-sided) is secured behind the driver's seat backrest with a Velcro fastener. Return the first-aid kit (soft sided) to this location after use.

SD cards are small parts.
They could be swallowed and lead to choking.
Manual changes can damage the SD card.
This excludes map updates.
The map data is imported by the navigation system.
Updates are offered at regular intervals for the map data. The first update can be downloaded free-of-charge from the web portal within the first 90 days after activation of the vehicle. Registration at https://www.tomtom.com/forsmart is required. Further information may be obtained in any smart centre.
Apart from updates, you can also download the current software for the media system and Premium Voices can be purchased from TomTom.
Calculating alternative routes
Modifying routes calculated by the navigation system
Planning routes in advance and routing via specific way points.
Modifying settings for calculating routes.
Once a route is calculated, a route summary is shown. As standard, the fastest route, taking IQ Routes™ into consideration, is calculated for route planning. Traffic information is taken into account when calculating the route.
Green: remaining range should be sufficient for this route section.
Orange: depending on driving style and external influencing factors this route section can be achieved.
Red: remaining range should not be sufficient for this route section.
With the "Route overview" function, you can set whether the summary display of a calculated route is hidden automatically after ten seconds.
If the route is not confirmed with Done, the view changes automatically to the map view after about ten seconds.
Having a route calculated
The route is displayed. If the remaining range is not expected to be sufficient for the destination, a prompt appears asking if a charging station should be added to the route.

Cancelling a route
When a new destination is entered, route guidance can resume again.
Calculating alternatives
A route via other roads is calculated and shown.
Guiding a route via way points
The course of the route can be adjusted by entering up to four way points.
A list of saved way points will be shown if way points have already been entered.
The new way point is added.
Avoiding blocked roads
The route can be modified if part of a road is blocked on the route or if there is a traffic jam.
Avoid specific roads
The route will be taken so that specific roads are bypassed.
A list of the roads on the route is shown.
Making allowances for traffic disruptions
The route is recalculated on the basis of the current traffic information.
Traffic information is not available in all countries or regions.
An overview of the traffic disruptions on the route is shown.
