.... Avoid
driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise Levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder­
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at Level crossings, for in­
stance, or at traffic lights with a Long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is great­
er than the amount of fuel needed to restart the
engine.
The engine takes a very Long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular ser vicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well­
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im­
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia­
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con­
su mption depends to a great extent on the en­
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km. Depend­
ing on your personal driving style, oil consump­
tion can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions . Driving
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump­
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too Low, this can in­
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla­
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han­
dling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the Luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary Loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec­
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip­
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
Lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.

aids
out of spaces parallel to the kerb. The parking
space can be located between two vehicles or be­
hind one vehicle. The park assist takes over the
steering while the driver is parking the vehicle in
the usual way.
The parking system plus is an integral compo­
nent of the park assist ¢ page 94 and helps you
during the parking manoeuvre.
The park assist sensors are located on the sides
of the front and rear bumpers. Please ensure that
the sensors are kept free of stickers, deposits and
any other substances which could impair the
function of the system. Notes on cleaning
¢page 236.
In short parking spaces, the parking aid warning
tone will sound continuously when the vehicle is
less than approx. 0.20 m away from the obstacle.
Stop moving immediately!
A WARNING
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢ & in
General notes on page 93.
- Please note that the park assist only han­
dles the steering. As the driver you are al­
ways responsible for braking and accelerat­
ing.
- It is the driver's responsibility to decide
whether a parking space shown in the dis­
play is suitable for the vehicle.
- The front of the vehicle swings out during
the parking manoeuvre. Please take all nec­
essary measures to ensure that other road
users are not endangered.
- The steering wheel turns rapidly on its own
when parking the vehicle and leaving the
space. Injury may result if a person reaches
between the spokes on the steering wheel
when it is turning.
CD CAUTION
- Please observe the safety warnings ¢0 in
General notes on page 93.
- In certain situations, the park assist will
guide the vehicle onto or across the kerb,
for instance if other vehicles are parked on
the kerb. You should always be ready to take
96 over
the steering wheel in order to prevent
damage to the tyres and/or wheel rims.
- Certain conditions in and around the park­
ing space can cause unexpected results
when parking.
- Objects such as pillars, posts, etc.
Road surfaces such as loose gravel, snow,
ice, etc.
CD CAUTION
- The sensors may not always be able to de­
tect objects such as trailer draw bars, thin
rails, fences, posts, waste bins and trees,
etc. This could result in damage to your car.
- Please note that the system may not always
be able to detect the surface of certain ob­
jects or substances, such as wire fences or
powder snow, etc. You should therefore
check that the parking space is really large
enough before parking the vehicle.
- Please note that low obstacles detected by
the system may no longer be registered by
the sensors as the car moves closer, so the
system will not give any further warning.
Failure to respond to a parking system
warning can result in damage to your vehi­
cle and other property. Please bear this in
mind, for example, when using the park as­
sist to park behind a truck. Always keep a
close watch on the area in front of and be­
hind the vehicle while parking, and inter­
vene promptly if necessary.
- To prevent damage to the sensors when
washing the vehicle with a high-pressure
cleaner or a steam cleaner, do not hold the
cleaner less than 10 cm away from the sen­
sors and do not keep the cleaner pointed di­
rectly at the sensors.
({D Note
- The electronic stabilisation control (ES()
must not be switched off during the parking
manoeuvre ¢page 104.
- The park assist cannot be used to park the
vehicle on tight bends.

the brake pedal and do not pump the brakes.
You will feel the brake pedal pulsate while the
anti-lock brake system is working.
Brake assist system
The brake assist system can shorten the braking
distance. The braking force is automatically boos­
ted if you press the brake pedal quickly in an
emergency. You must keep pressing the brake
pedal until the danger has passed.
Traction control system (ASR)
In the event of wheelspin, the traction control
system reduces the engine torque to match the
amount of grip available. This helps the car to
start moving, accelerate or climb a gradient.
Electronic differential lock (EDL)
When the EDL detects wheelspin, it brakes the
spinning wheel and directs the power to the oth­
er driven wheel (or wheels on quattro* versions).
This function is not available at high speeds.
To prevent the disc brake of the braked wheel
from overheating, the EDL cuts out automatically
if subjected to excessive loads. The vehicle can
still be driven. The EDL will switch on again auto­
matically when the brake has cooled down.
Steering recommendation
The ESC helps to stabilise the vehicle by changing
the steering wheel torque.
Selective wheel torque control
Selective wheel torque control intervenes when
cornering by braking the wheel(s) on the inside of
the bend individually as required. This enables
precision cornering. The relevant system may not
intervene in the wet or snow.
Multicollision brake assist system
The "multicollision brake assist system" can help
to reduce the risk of skidding and further colli­
sions during an accident. If the airbag control
unit detects that a collision has taken place up-
� wards
of a certain speed, the vehicle is braked by
a'.: the ESC.
co
....
\D U'l
N
U'l
.... Intelligent
technology
The vehicle will not be braked automatically if:
- the driver presses the accelerator,
- the brake pressure applied by pressing the
brake pedal is higher than the brake pressure
initiated by the system,
- or the ESC, the brake system or the vehicle's
electrical system are not fully functional.
A WARNING
- The grip provided by the ESC and the inte­
grated systems is still subject to the physi­
cal limits of adhesion. Always bear this in
mind, especially on wet or slippery roads. If
you notice the systems cutting in, you
should reduce your speed immediately to
suit the road and traffic conditions. Do not
let the extra safety provided tempt you into
taking any risks when driving -this can
cause accidents.
- Remember that the accident risk always in­
creases if you drive fast, especially in cor­
ners or on a wet or slippery road, or if you
follow too close behind the vehicle in front
of you. Please bear in mind that even the
ESC and the integrated systems cannot
compe nsate for the increased accident risk.
- When accelerating on a uniformly slippery
surface (for instance all four wheels on ice
or snow), press the accelerator gradually
and carefully. The driven wheels may other­
wise start to spin (in spite of the integrated
control systems), which would impair the
car's stability and could lead to an accident.
{D Note
- To ensure that the ABS and ASR systems
work properly, all four wheels must be fit­
ted with identical tyres. Any differences in
the rolling radius of the tyres can cause the
system to reduce engine power when this is
not desired.
- The systems can make noises when they in­
tervene.
- If the indicator lamp DJ orr§J appears,
there may be a malfunction ¢ page 14. -

The driver is responsible for the safety of the
passengers and the safe operation of the vehicle
at all times.
For your own safety and the safety of your pas­
sengers, always note the following points before
every trip:
.,. Make sure that all lights and turn signals are
working properly.
.,. Check the tyre pressures.
.,. Make sure that all windows are clean and give
good visibility to the outside.
.,. Secure all luggage and other items carefully
¢page 201.
.,. Make sure that no objects can interfere with the
pedals.
.,. Adjust
the mirrors and the front seat according
to your body height.
.,. Make sure that children are protected with suit­
able safety seats and properly worn seat belts
¢page 195.
.,. Sit in the correct position in your seat. Make
sure that your passengers are sitting in the cor­
rect positions ¢ page 46 .
.,. Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that
your passengers do the same ¢page 204.
What factors can impair your safety?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you
drive, and can also be affected by the passengers
in the vehicle.
The driver is responsible for the safety of the ve­
hicle and all its occupants. If your ability to drive
is impaired in any way, you endanger yourself and
other road users ¢& . Therefore:
.,. Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers
or by using a mobile phone, etc.
.,. Never drive when your driving ability is im­
paired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
.,. Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits
and always maintain a safe distance to the vehi-
� de
in front.

.,. Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive
for more than two hours without a stop.
.,. If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or
stressed.
A WARNING
- Distractions while driving or any kind of im­
pairment to your driving ability increase the
risk of accident and injury .
- Do not place loose objects on the dash pan­
el. These objects could fly around the interi­
or when the vehicle is moving (under accel­
eration or whilst cornering) and distract the

.... -Always
make sure that floor mats are prop­
erly secured.
- Never lay or install additional floor mats or
other floor coverings over the existing floor
mats; this would restrict the pedal area and
possibly obstruct the pedals, which could
cause an accident.
Stowing luggage safely
Luggage compartment
Fig. 179 Heavy items should be placed as far forwards as
possible.
All luggage and other objects must be safely se­
cured in the luggage compartment. To maintain
safe handling on the road, please observe the fol­
lowing points:
� Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com­
partment.
� Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly ¢Fig. 179.
� Secure the load with the luggage net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings*¢ page 202.
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicle as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward -risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart­
ment and secure them on the fastening Safe
driving
rings*. Use suitable securing straps, particu­
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity -this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicle
¢ page 257. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight limit can affect the ve­
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in­
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside. In this case the child would be un­
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the vehi­
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop­
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times
¢page 204.
CD CAUTION
Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
(D} Note
- Adjust the tyre pressure to match the vehi­
cle loading -the correct pressures are speci­
fied on the sticker on the end face of the
driver's door.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas­
tening rings* are commercially available.

WARNING
Insufficient tread depth or different tread
depths on different wheels reduce safety. This
is particularly evident in vehicle handling,
when there is a risk of aquaplaning in deep
puddles of water and when driving through
corners. Braking is also adversely affected -
risk of accident!
Tyre pressure

If you intend to drive the vehicle with a partial
load, adjust the tyre pressures to the specified
setting (D. Should you wish to drive with a full
load, you must increase the tyre pressure to the
specified maximum @
¢.&,.
.
Checking / adjusting the tyre pressures
.. Check
the tyre pressures at least once a month
and, in addition, before starting a long journey. Wheels
and tyres
.. The tyre pressures should only be checked when
the tyres are cold. The slightly raised pressures
of warm tyres must not be reduced.
.. Refer to the sticker ¢ Fig. 220 for the correct
tyre pressures according to the load the vehicle
is carrying.
.. If necessary , adjust the tyre pressure.
.. Vehicles with tyre pressure loss indicator*:
Store the new tyre pressures on the infotain­
ment system ¢ page 235 .
.. Check the pressure of the spare wheel* /com­
pact temporary spare wheel*. Keep the spare
tyre inflated to the highest pressure approved
for the tyre.
A WARNING
Always adjust the tyre pressures to match
your driving style and the load the vehicle is
carrying.
- Excessive loads can cause you to lose control
of the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Under-inflated tyres flex more and can over­
heat at high speeds or when the vehicle is
carrying a heavy load. This could cause a
tyre blow-out and you could lose control of
the vehicle -risk of accident!
- Incorrect tyre pressures increase tyre wear
and adversely affect vehicle braking and
handling -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Replace any lost valve caps to prevent dam­
age to the tyre valves.
@ For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres will increase the fuel con­
sumption.
@ Note
We recommend using the tyre pressure set­
ting (Dor@ for partial loads.
Winter tyres
In winter road conditions winter tyres will consid­
erably improve the car's handling. Due to their
type of construction (width, rubber compound,

tread pattern), summer tyres give less grip on ice
and snow.
... Winter tyres must be fitted on all four wheels.
... Only use winter tyres of the correct type ap-
proved for your vehicle.
... Please
note that the maximum permissible
speed for winter tyres may be lower than for
summer tyres¢.&_ . Your specialist retailer can
advise you of the maximum speed for your
tyres.
... After fitting the wheels you must always check
the tyre pressures ¢page 233.
Winter tyres lose their effectiveness when the
tread is worn down to a depth of 4 mm. The per­
formance of winter tyres is also severely impaired
by ageing, even if the tread is still much deeper
than 4 mm.
.&_ WARNING
- Never exceed the maximum approved speed
for your tyres. This causes the tyres to over­
heat and can even result in a blow-out -risk
of accident!
- Always adapt your driving style to the pre­
vailing road and traffic conditions. Drive
carefully and reduce your speed on icy or
slippery roads. Even winter tyres lose their
grip on black ice.
@) For the sake of the environment
Summer tyres should be fitted again as soon
as possible; they give better handling on
roads which are free of snow and ice. They are
quieter, do not wear so quickly and reduce
fuel consumption.
(Qj) Note
All-weather tyres can also be used instead of
winter tyres. Please note that winter tyres
with the & symbol are required by law during
the winter season in some countries.
Snow chains
Snow chains will improve braking ability as well
as traction in winter conditions.
234 ...
Snow chains can be used on the front wheels
only. This also applies to vehicles with four­
wheel drive* .
... Check that the snow chains are correctly seated
after driving for a few yards; follow the instruc­
tions given by the manufacturer .
... Keep your speed below 50 km/h. Please ob-
serve the applicable local regulations.
For technical reasons snow chains may only be
used on tyres with certain wheel rim/tyre combi­
nations.
Rim size

size
7Jx17 47mm 225/50
Only use snow chains with fine-pitch links. The
links must not protrude more than 13.5 mm
from the tyres (including tensioner).
You must remove the snow chains on roads which
are free of snow; otherwise the vehicle handling
may be impaired and the tyres may be damaged.
.&_ WARNING
Unsuitable or incorrectly mounted snow
chains can cause you to lose control of the ve­
hicle -risk of accident!
CD CAUTION
Snow chains can damage the rim/hubcap* if
they make direct contact with it. Remove the
hubcaps* beforehand. Use snow chains which
have a protective coating.

The tyre pressure Loss indicator in the instrument
cluster informs the driver if the tyre pressure is
too low or a system malfunction has occurred.
The tyre pressure loss indicator makes use of the
ABS sensors to compare the rolling circumfer­
ence and the vibration of the tyres. If changes in
the inflation pressure are detected on one or
more tyres, the driver is alerted by an indicator
