When the vehicle is stopped for a short period, for example at
trafficlights, it is only necessary to apply the brakes. It is not
necessary to move selector lever to “N N

however only be running at idling speed.P Pa

When the ignition is switched on the selector lever is locked in the
positions "P P

To unlock press the brakes. This way, you will prevent involuntary
shifting of gears and moving of the vehicle.
When the selector lever is in the positions "P P

will see a display on the digital screen of the instrument panel with
the message "PRESS BRAKES TO SHIFT GEAR WHILE CAR

Using the handbrake
To apply the handbrake pull lever up firmly. On hills the 1st gear or
with automaticgearbox the parking lock should also be engaged.
The handbrake should always be applied so firmly that it is not
possible to drive inadvertently with the handbrake on.
When handbrake is applied with the ignition on, the brake warning
lamp comes on.
To release handbrake, pull lever up slightly, press locking knob
(arrow) in and push lever right down.

General notes
• Before starting, move gear lever to neutral (with automatic
gearbox, selector lever in “P P
” or “N N
” position) and apply handbrake
firmly.
• On vehicles with a manual gearbox depress the clutch pedal
when operating starter so that starter only has to turn engine.
• As soon as engine starts, release the ignition key so that starter
can disengage.
• After starting a cold engine it may sound noisy for a moment or
two because the oil pressure has to build up in the hydraulic
tappets first. This is normal and no cause for alarm.

Starting after running out of fuel
If the tank on vehicles with a diesel engine was empty, starting
after filling with diesel fuel can take longer than normal – up to
one minute. This is because the fuel system must first be freed of
air before starting.

When the engine has been subjected to a heavy engine load for a long
time, the engine must not be switched off abruptly. Let it idle for about 2
minutes to avoid overheating.

Do not switch off the ignition while the vehicle is in motion with a gear

General notes
The filler neck is on the rear right side panel of the vehicle.
The tank flap is automatically locked and unlocked with the central
locking. If the central locking system is defective the flap can be
opened by hand – see next page.
The tank holds about 70 litres.When tank cap has been taken off it can be placed on the tank flap
⇒ fig. 149.
Filling the tank without problem depends largely on the correct
operation of the petrol pump:
• Do not place the nozzle too deeply into the filler neck and do not
place the nozzle at an angle.
• Do not select a high flow rate – the fuel (particularly Diesel) will
otherwise foam up. This could cause the petrol pump to switch off
prematurely.

As soon as the correctly operated automatic nozzle switches off for the first
time, the tank is full. Do not try then to put more fuel in because the
expansion space in tank will be filled – the fuel can then overflow when it
becomes warm.
After filling tank, screw cap on tightly and lock it.

Any fuel spillage should be wiped off the paint finish immediately, as the
paint could otherwise be damaged, especially if it is RME (“biodiesel”) fuel.

On vehicles with a catalytic converter, never drive until the fueltank is
completely empty. The irregular fuel supply can cause misfiring. This allows
unburnt fuel into the exhaust system, which can cause overheating and
damage to the catalyst.
K
Releasing tank flap manually
If the central locking system should fail, the flap can be released
manually:
• Open tailgate and – if fitted – fold back the right luggage
compartment trim from side panel.
• Then push the locking rod in front of the white diaphragm
housing backward slightly in direction of arrow
⇒fig. 150.K

In the chapter “Technical Data” and on the inside of the tank flap
you will find information on the correct octane rating for your
engine.
K
General notes
•Unleaded petrol must comply with DIN EN1)228 and leaded
petrol with DIN 51 600.
•If, in an emergency, the octane rating of the available petrol is
lower than that required by the engine, only drive with medium
engine speeds and low engine loading. H Hi

Fill tank with
petrol of the correct octane rating as soon as possible.
•Fuel with a higher octane rating than that required by the engine
can be used without limitation. There are, however, no advantages
regarding output and consumption.

Petrol additives
The quality of the fuel has a decisive influence upon the running
behavior, performance and service life of the engine. The additives
which are mixed into the petrol are of particular significance. Itis

Ask your Technical Service Centre or automobile club where
biodiesel is available.
See chapter "Filling the tank".

Properties of RME
•RME is chemically produced from vegetable oil (predominantly
rapeseed oil) in a process whereby the oil is mixed with methanol
and converted, via a catalyst, into RME.
•RME is almost totally sulfur free. The combustion of RME thus
emits practically no sulfur dioxide (SO
2).
•Exhaust gas contains less
– carbon monoxide
– hydrocarbons
– particles (i.e. soot)
than with conventional diesel fuel.
All emission values are lower than legal requirements.
•RME fuel is biodegradable.
•Performance may be slightly lower.
•Fuel consumption may be slightly higher.
•RME can be used in temperatures down to approximately –10 °C.
•Diesel fuel must be added at ambient temperatures of less than
–10 °C to prevent deterioration to the biodiesel. The mixing ratio
of diesel to biodiesel must be approximately 50:50.

General notes
• Brake lining wear depends to a large extent on the operating
conditions and style of driving. On vehicles which are used mainly
in town traffic and stop/ start conditions or are driven hard it may
be necessary to have the thickness of the brake linings checked by
a Technical Service Centre in between the intervals given in the
Inspection and Service Schedule.
• Change down in good time when driving downhill, in order to
make use of the engine braking effect. This relieves strain on the
brake system. When the brakes are applied do not keep them on
continuously, apply and release alternately.
K
What can have a negative effect on the brakes?

The concept of four-wheel drives
The four-wheel drive vehicles are fitted with a completely
automatic drive on all four wheels.
It automatically distributes the drive power and adapts perfectly to
the driving style and specific surface conditions.

With the four wheel drive, the vehicle’s drive is good in the winter,
even with serial tyres. However, we recommend the use of winter
tyres or all-weather tyreso on

Snow chains should also be used on four-wheel drive vehicles
when it is mandatory. For more information on the use of snow
