Description
When loads are to be carried on the roof, the following should be
noted:
• As the rain channels are moulded into the roof for streamlining
reasons, the normal type of roof rack cannot be used. To avoid
risks we advise that only the cross bars provided by the factory are
used.
• These cross bars are the basis for a complete roof load carrying
system. For safety reasons when carrying luggage, bicycles,
surfboards, skis and boats, the appropriate special adapters are
required.

• On vehicles with roof rails, the base carriers can be attached to
the rail. The distance between the carriers should however be
matched to the articles to be transported. Also, on vehicles with a
sliding/tilting roof* the front carrier should not be attached in the
region of the rear edge of the tilting roof.
To adapt the bars
1)to the size of the objects to be carried, proceed
as follows:
1 – Turn key

2 – Push dinamometrickey⇒ fig. 117Cinto its specific slot.
3 – To loosen turn key
⇒ fig. 117Cto the left, and move slide the
bar1).
4 – To tighten, turn key
⇒ fig. 117Cto the right, till a torque of
9 Nm is achieved, as shown on the key.
• Distribute the load evenly. Each cross bar may carry 50 kg if
loaded uniformly over the full length. The permissible roof load
(including the carrier system) of 75 kg and the permissible gross
vehicle weight must not be exceeded
⇒"Technical Data" chapter.
• When carrying heavy or large objects on the roof, bear in mind
that the vehicle handling changes due to the displacement of the
centre of gravity and the increased area exposed to the wind.
Driving style and speed must be adapted to allow for this.

n
⇒page 146. In this mode, the gearbox will shift up
later to make full use of the engine power reserves.
The downward shift occurs at a higher rate of revolutions than in
the economy programmes.
The gear box is self adapting, and continuously selects the most
suitable gear programme. At the same time, the driver can also
make the gear box switch to a more “sporty” programme by
pressing the accelerator quickly. Depending on road speed, this
makes the gearbox shift down early into a lower gear for quicker
acceleration (for instance to overtake another vehicle), without
having to press the accelerator all the way down to the kick-down
position. After the gear box has shifted back up it returns to the
original programme, depending on your style of driving.
The gear box adapts the gear shifts for uphill and downhill
gradients. This prevents the gearbox from shifting up and down
unnecessarily on uphill gradients. On downhill gradients, the
gearbox shifts down into a lower gear when the driver presses the
brake pedal. This makes use of the braking effect of the engine
without having to change down manually.N No
ot
te
e
Depending on road resistance, for example when trailer towing or on uphill
stretches, a programme is automatically selected which provides more
power by shifting into a lower gear. This prevents frequent gear changes.
K
Selector lever lock
In positions “P P
” and “N N
” with the ignition switched on the selector
lever is locked. To move the selector lever out of these positions
the brake pedal must be depressed and the selector lever button
pushed-in. This prevents a gear being engaged inadvertently and
the vehicle unintentionally moving off.
A delay circuit prevents the selector lever from locking when it is
moved quickly past the “N N
” position (for instance from “R R
” to “D D
”).
This enables for example the vehicle to be “rocked” out of a
“bogged down” position. The shift lock only locks the selector
lever if it is left in the “N N
” position for more than about 1 second
without the brake pedal being depressed.
At speeds above 5 km/h the selector lever lock is automatically
switched-off in position “N N
”.
