. In these cases,
the vehicles occupants are protected in the conventional way by
the seat belts.
It is not possible to define globally when exactly the Air Bag system
will be triggered given that the circumstances of each impact may
vary enormously.
During inflation, the Air Bag emits a fine dust. This is quite normal
and there is no fire risk.
K
Description of front airbags1)
When the system is triggered, the bags are inflated by gas opening
in front of the driver and passenger.
The Air Bag inflation is considerably rapid and takes fractions of a
second, to offer the best protection in the case of an accident.

Additional lights in front of the cooling air intake interfere with the flow of
cooling air. At high ambient temperatures and full throttle there isa danger
that the engine will then overheat.
K
Fuel gauge
The gauge starts to work when the ignition is switched on. The
warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional check
when the ignition is switched on.
The tank holds about 45 litres.
When the needle moves to the red reserve zone, warning light
d
lights up at the same time that an acoustic warning signal is
produced; this means that approximately 7 litres of fuel remain.
K
Speedometer
The speedometer is fitted with a digital mileage clock and a trip
mileage clock, as well as a service interval indicator*.
During the running in period you must note the instructions in the
chapter "The first 1,500 km and afterwards".

The knob can be used to set the clock to the exact second.
• Turn the knob to the right until the time is set to exactly one
minute before the required time.
• Turn the button to the right just as the seconds indicator of an
accurately set clock shows one full minute.

– the coolant pump is no
longer being driven. The belt must be checked/ renewed.
If the warning lamp comes on even though the ribbed belt is not
broken or loose, you can generally wait to have this checked at the
next scheduled service.
As the battery will continue to discharge, all electrical consumers
which are not absolutely necessary should be switched off.
K
Parking light/dipped beam
Dipped beam, parking or side light pilot light (green). Works with
the ignition off.
K
Power steering*
The warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional
check when the ignition is switched on.
The warning lamp comes on when the hydraulic oil level is not
sufficient or in case of a failure in the electrical system.
An acoustic signal warns the driver (1 bip).
