⇒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
”.

When changing down manually the selector lever can be moved into gears
3 3

possible to over–rev the engine.
K
Kick-down device
The kick-down device gives maximum acceleration. When the
accelerator pedal is pressed right down past the full throttle
position, depending on road speed and engine speed, the boxchanges down into a lower gear. The shift into the next higher gear
then takes place as soon as the maximum specified engine speed
is reached.

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

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.

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.
