driving on difficult road surfaces, and try to
anticipate hazards in advance. Excessive
speed or careless manoeuvres can result in
personal injury or damage to the vehicle.
- Always adjust your speed to suit the terrain
or road surface and weather or traffic condiÂ
tions.
Drive extra slowly when visibility is
limited by uneven terrain.
- Please note that there can be an increased
tendency for the wheeLs to spin in ESC off-

•} For
the sake of the environment
Take care not to damage the environment and
respect natural surroundings.
Note
Only drive where access by motor vehicles is
permitted and keep to the marked tracks and
routes.
Driving tips
When driving on rough tracks always drive slowly
and be aware of possible hazards.
Please observe the following precautions if you
drive the vehicle on unsurfaced tracks or off-
road:
•
When driving off-road you are advised to avoid
tracks or terrain which are not suited to the deÂ
sign of the car and your own driving skills and
experience. Do
not
take risks.
•
Drive slowly and be ready for possible hazards.
•
Be aware of the maximum ground clearance of
your vehicle. The figure in actual conditions
may be different, depending on the type of surÂ
face,
the surrounding terrain and the load beÂ
ing carried. With certain types of suspension,
such as sports suspension, the ground clearÂ
ance is reduced. It is the responsibility of the
driver to decide whether or not the vehicLe is
capable of safely negotiating a particular situaÂ
tion.
•
Activate the ESC off-road mode if required
^>page
146.
Unsurfaced tracks
On unfamiliar roads and off-road terrain, drive
slowly and be prepared for unexpected obstacles,
such as pot-holes, rocks or tree stumps, etc.
To prevent ground contact and possible damage
to the underside, do not drive the bottom of your
vehicle directly over raised obstacles. Instead,
drive the wheels on one side of the car up and
across the top of the obstacle.
When driving over sand or soft mud, maintain a
moderate speed and avoid stopping if possible.
Driving through water on roads
Please observe the important safety warnings on

Automatic gearbox
Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with automatic gearbox
The automatic gearbox is controlled electronicalÂ
ly. The gearbox changes up and down automatiÂ
cally.
When you drive at moderate speeds the gearbox
will select the most economical shift proÂ
gramme. It will then change up early and delay
the downshifts to give better fuel economy.
If you drive at higher speeds with heavy acceleraÂ
tion,
if you open the throttle quickly, or if you use
the kick-down or the car's maximum speed, the
gearbox will automatically select the more "sporÂ
ty" shift programmes when the selector lever is
in position S.
If desired, you can also select the gears manually
(tiptronic mode)

Emission controL
systems
Catalytic converter
Applies to: vehicles with petrol engine
The vehicle must only be used with unleaded petÂ
rol,
otherwise the catalytic converter will be irÂ
reparably damaged.
Never allow the fuel tank to run completely dry,
as the irregular supply of fuel can cause misfirÂ
ing.
This allows unburnt fuel to enter the exhaust
system,
which can cause overheating and damÂ
age to the catalytic converter.
Diesel particulate filter
Applies to: vehicles with diesel engine
The diesel particulate filter can filter out almost
all soot particles contained in the exhaust gas. In
normal driving conditions the filter is self-cleanÂ
ing.

A WARNING
The exhaust system is very hot when the
vehiÂ
cle is being driven and after the engine has
been switched off.
- Never touch the tailpipes when they are hot
- risk of burns!
- Because of the high temperatures which can
occur in the emission controL system, do not
park the vehicle where the exhaust can
come into contact with flammable materials
under the car (e.g. on grass or at the forest
edge) - risk of fire!
- Do not apply any underseal agents in the
area around the exhaust system - risk of
fire!

gradually rises and the quality of the engine
oil decreases. Once the oil level has reached
the marking

be corrected by extracting the surplus oil -

of engine damage! The engine oil must

Depending on
how
you drive and the condiÂ
tions in which the car is used, oil consumption
can be up to 0.5
Itr./lOOO
km. Oil consumpÂ
tion is likely to be higher for the first 5,000
km.
The engine oil Level must be checked at
regular intervals, preferably when refuelling
and before setting off on a long trip.
Cooling system
Coolant
The engine cooling system is filled at the factory
with a mixture of conditioned water and coolant
additive. This coolant must not be changed.
The coolant level is monitored by a warning lamp

<^page
30. However, we recommend that it
should be checked occasionally.
If you do need to top up the coolant, use a mixÂ
ture of water and coolant additive. We recomÂ
mend mixing coolant additive with distilled waÂ
ter.
