Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for you to find and absorb the information you require.Chapters, table of contents and subject indexThe text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are combined into easy-to-read
chapters
. The chapter you are reading at any particular
moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page. The
Table of contents
is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject
index
at the end of the Owner's Manual helps
you to rapidly find the information you
are looking for.SectionsThe majority of
Sections
apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly unavoidable, despite dividing the contents
into sections, that
mention may be made
of equipment whic
h is not fitted to your vehicle.
Brief information and instructionsEach section has a
Heading
.
This is followed by
Brief information
(in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section. Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an
Instruction
(in relatively large letters)
which explains to you in a straightforw
ard way the action you have to take.
Work steps
which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.Direction indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right”,
“front”, “rear” relate to the direction of
travel of the vehicle.Explanation of symbols Equipment which is marked in such a way is only standard on certain vehicle model versions or only suppliable as opti
onal equipment for certain models.
End of a section.
The section is continued on the next page.NotesAll four kinds of notes, which are used in th
e text, are always stated at the end of the
respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked
with the heading WARNING. These
WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury. While reading the text you will frequent
ly encounter a double arrow followed
by a small warning symbol. This symbol is intended to draw your attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you must pay careful atten- tion.
Caution
A Caution
note draws your attention to the possib
ility of damage to your vehicle (e.g.
damage to gearbox), or points ou
t general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An
Environmental
note draws your attention to environmental protection aspects.
This is where you will, for example, find tips
aimed at reducing your fuel consumption.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention in a general way to important information.

The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature as soon as the pointer moves into the mid-range of the scale. The pointer may
also move further to the right at high
engine loads and high outside temperatures. This is not critical provided the warning symbol
in the instrument cl
uster does not flash.
If the symbol
in the instrument cluster flashes it means that either the coolant
temperature
is too high or the coolant
level
is too low. Observe the guidelines
page 29, “Coolant temperature/coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
page 166, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonn
et and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet impair the cooling effi
ciency of the coolant. There is
then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temper
atures and high engine loads.
Fuel gauge*The fuel gauge
page 15, fig. 15
only operates when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of
about 45 litres. The warning symbol
in the instrument
cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank.
This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you must
refuel
.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.On some vehicles, the fuel gauge is shown
in the display of the instrument cluster.

Technical Data
In order to minimise the fuel consumptio
n, a recommendation for shifting into
another gear is indicated in the display. If the control unit recognises that it is a
ppropriate to change the gear, an arrow is
shown in the display. The arrow points up or down, depending on whether it is recom- mended to shift into a higher or lower gear. At the same time, the recommended gear is indicated instead of the currently engaged gear .Multi-functional indicator (onboard computer)*IntroductionThe multi-functional indicator appears in the display
fig. 18
or in the information
display
page 22 depending on the equipm
ent fitted to your vehicle.
The multi-functional indicator offers
you a range of us
eful information:
On vehicles which are fitted out with information display*, it is possible to switch off the display of some information.
Note
In certain national versions th
e displays appear in the Imperial system of measures.
If the display of the second speed is acti
vated in mph, the current speed* is not
indicated in km/h on the display.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is equi
pped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in
the middle of the display field
fig. 18
.
The data of the single-trip memory (memory 1) is shown if a
1 appears in the display.
A 2 shown in the display means that data
relates to the total distance memory
(memory 2). Switching over the memory takes place with the button
page 20, fig. 19
on the
windshield wiper lever. Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after switching off
the ignition. The memory will be is automatica
lly erased, on the other hand, if the trip
is interrupted for
more than 2 hours
.
Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total distance driven memory gathers
data from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes driving or 1.999 kilometres driven and on vehicles which are fitted with informatio
n display* up to a total of 99 hours and 59
minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew.

Current fuel consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This infor- mation can help you to adapt your style of
driving to the fuel consumption you wish to
achieve. The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.The indicated value will be updated every 0.5 seconds while you are driving.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in litres/100 km
page 19, fig. 18
. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co
nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel
consumption over a cert
ain period of time,
you must erase the memory at the start of the new measurement using the button on the windshield wiper lever
page 20, fig. 19
. A zero appears in the display for the
first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory. The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consum
ed will not be indicated.
RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on
the display. It indicates the distance you
can still drive with your vehicle based on th
e present level of fuel in the tank for the
same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After
lighting up of the indicator light for the
fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km. The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is ta
ken as a basis for calculating the range. If
you drive in a more economical manner fr
om this moment on, the range will be
increased accordingly.
If the memory is set to zero (after discon
necting the battery), the fuel consumption of
10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range;
afterwards the value is adapted accordingly
to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display page 19. If you wish to calculate the distance
driven as of a particular time, you must
