Around the pedal area there should not be any foot mats or other
additional floor covering materials:
• In the case of defects on the brake system, a greater pedal travel
may be necessary.
• It should always be possible to depress the clutch and
accelerator pedals fully.
• All pedals must be able to return, unhindered, to their rest
positions.
For these reasons, the only foot mats which may be used are those
which leave the pedal area completely free and which are
prevented from slipping.

Driving a car with a manual gearbox
Only engage reverse gear when the vehicle is stationary. When the
engine is running, depress the clutch fully and wait a few seconds
before moving the gear lever. This will prevent grating noises. To
engage reverse gear, pull the safety ring A up slightly and guide
the gear stick to the right and to the rear.
When reverse gear is engaged with ignition on, the reversing lights
come on.N No

When driving you should not rest your hand on the gear lever. The pressure
of your hand is transmitted to the selector forks in the gearbox and can
cause premature wear on the forks.

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.

any speed above around 30 km/h constant, so far as this is
permitted by engine output.

On vehicles with an automatic gearbox, the Cruise Control System isonly
active when the gear selector is in position D D
, 3 3
or 2 2
. If any other position
(P P
, N N
, R R
or 1 1
) is selected while driving, the last speed to be stored is deleted
and the system is switched off.

Storing speed
When the speed to be maintained has been reached the press
button

then be taken off the accelerator pedal.
The speed can also be increased in the normal way with the
accelerator pedal. When the pedal is then released the previously
programmed speed is resumed.

reduced by a preset amount. If you pres and hold the button, the
speed will decrease through automatic deceleration. The speed
reached when reducing the button will be stored.
If the button is released at a speed of less than approx. 30 km/h,
the memory is deleted. The speed must then, if necessary, be reset

General notes
• Check whether there are any local traffic regulations concerning
the towing of vehicles.
• The tow-rope should be slightly elastic to reduce the risk of
damage to both vehicles. It is advisable to use synthetic fibre
ropes, or ropes of similar elastic material. I It

.• Both drivers must be familiar with towing procedures.
Inexperienced drivers should not attempt to tow start or tow.
• When using a tow-rope the driver of the towing vehicle must
engage the clutch very gently when moving off and changing gear.
• The driver of the vehicle being towed must ensure that the tow-
rope is always taut.
• The emergency lights must be switched on in both vehicles –
unless local regulations differ.
• Turn ignition on so that the steering wheel is free and the turn
signals, horn, and, if necessary, the windscreen wiper and washer
can be used.
• As the brake servo only works when the engine is running,
considerably more pressure is required on the brake pedal when
the engine is not running.
• More force than usual will be required to turn the steering wheel
as the power assisted steering does not work when engine is not
running.
• When there is no lubricant in the manual or automatic gearbox,
the vehicle may only be towed with driving wheels lifted.

another vehicle’s battery. Check the "Start up help" chapter.

, the following
points must be noted in addition to the details on the previous
page:
• Selector lever at “N N
”.
• Do not have the vehicle towed faster than 30 mph (50 km/h).
• Do not tow further than 30 miles (50 kilometres).
If the vehicle has to be towed long distances it must be lifted at the
front.
Reason: When the engine is not running, the gearbox oil pump is
not working and the gearbox is not adequately lubricated for high
speeds or long distances.
• With a breakdown vehicle the vehicle may only be suspended at
the front.
Reason: If given a rear suspended tow, the drive shafts turn
backwards. The planetary gears in the automatic gearbox then turn
at such high speeds that the gearbox will be severely damaged in
a short time.
