Automatic time synchronisation
The RDS signal of most VHF
transmitters automatically sets the

Some transmitters do not send
a correct time signal. In such cases,
we recommend to switch off
automatic time synchronisation.

year setting. Hold the Ö button
depressed about 3 seconds until }
flashes in the display and “RDS

Power outlets
Power outlets are located in the
centre console and in the luggage
compartment. Do not damage the sockets by using
unsuitable plugs. Connecting
electrical accessories while the
engine is off will discharge the
battery. Do not exceed the maximum power consumption of 120 watts. Do
not connect any current-delivering
accessories, e.g. electrical charging
devices or batteries.
Electrical accessories that are
connected must comply with the
electromagnetic compatibility
requirements laid down in DIN VDE
40 839.
Cigarette lighter

Warning lights, gauges
and indicators
Instrument cluster
In some versions, the needles of the
instruments briefly rotate to the end
position
when the ignition is switched
on.
Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed. Odometer
The bottom line displays the recorded
distance.
Trip odometer
The top line displays the counted

minute.
Drive
in a low engine speed range for
each gear as much as possible. Caution

engine

speed is exceeded. Engine

Instruments and controls

If the natural gas tanks are not
refuelled, the system must be
manually switched to petrol operation
before the engine is started up again.
This will prevent damage to the
catalytic converter (overheating
caused by irregular fuel supply).
If the selector switch is operated
several times within a short time
a switchover block is activated. The
engine remains in the current
operating mode. The block remains
active until the ignition is switched off.
A slight loss of power and torque can
be expected in petrol operation. You
must therefore adapt your driving
style (e.g. during overtaking
manoeuvres) and vehicle loads (e.g.
towing loads) accordingly.
Every six months run the petrol tank
down until control indicator Y
illuminates and refuel. This is
necessary to maintain fuel quality as
well as system function necessary for
petrol operation.
Fill the tank completely at regular
intervals to prevent corrosion in the
tank. Service display
The message InSP appears when it
is time for servicing. Further
