16Shift into the next higher gear or select th
e selector lever position D of the automatic
gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds du
ring the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
page 145.
For the sake of the environment
Shif ting to a highe r g ear in g ood tim e hel p
s to reduce the fuel
consumption, minimises
operating noise levels, protects the environment and contributes to a longer life and reliability of the engine.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when
the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilometres
per hour. The acoustic warning signal will switch off again when the vehicle speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only
valid for some countries.
Coolant temperature gauge*The coolant temperature gauge
page 15, fig. 15
operates only when the ignition
is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine,
please pay attention to the following notes
regarding the temperature ranges. Cold range If the pointer is in the left-hand area of the scale it means that the engine has not yet reached its operating temperatur
e. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full throttle
and at severe engine loads.
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
You cannot make full use of the permissible ro
of load if you use a roof luggage rack
system with a lower load carrying capacity
. The load transported on the roof luggage
rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting instructions.
WARNING

The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
attached - risk of accident!
You must on no account exceed the pe
rmissible roof load, the permissible
axle loads and the permissible gross weight
of your vehicle - risk of accident!

Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle change when you
transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity an
d the increased wind attack area - risk
of accident! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the speed of the vehicle to the sp
ecific circumstances.
Front cup holderYou can place two cups or beverage cans into the recesses
fig. 73
.
WARNING

Do not place any hot beverages into th
e cup holder. If the vehicle moves,
they may spill - risk of scalding!
Do not use any cups or beakers which are
made of brittle material (e.g. glass,
porcelain). You might be injured by them in the event of an accident.
Caution
Do not open the beverages in the cup holder whil
e driving. There is a risk of spilling e.g.
when braking and therefore the electrical components or the seat upholstery can be damaged.Rear cup holder*You can place one cup or beverage can into the recess

Heating and air conditioning system
86Using the air conditioning system economicallyThe compressor on the Climatic uses powe
r from the engine when in cooling mode
which will effect the fuel consumption. It recommended to open the windows or the
doors of a vehicle for which the interior
has been strongly heated through the effect
of direct sunlight in order to allow the
heated air to escape. The cooling system should not be switched
on while travelling when the window is
open. The desired interior temperature can also be achieved without switching in the cooling system just by switching to fresh air mode.
For the sake of the environment
When you economize on fuel, you also reduce pollutant emissions.Operational malfunctionsIf the cooling system does not operate at outside temperatures higher than +5 °C, there is a problem in the system. The reasons for this may be:
The fuse of the Climatic is defective. Check the fuse, replace it if necessary
 page 195.
The cooling system has switched off automatically for a short time because the
coolant temperature of the engine is too hot
page 16.
If you are not able to rectify the operational
problem yourself, or if the cooling capacity
decreases, switch the cooling system off. Contact a specialist garage. If there is a fault at the Climatronic, all symbols on the display flash after switching on the ignition for 15 seconds. Contact a specialist garage.
Climatronic* (automatic air conditioning)Description The Climatronic system is a combinat
ion of an automatic heating, fresh
air and cooling system which provides optimal comfort for the occu- pants of the car.The Climatronic maintains a constant temperat
ure fully automatically, once it has been
set. This is achieved by automatically varying the temperature of the outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also takes into account sunlight which eliminates the need to
alter the settings manually. The
automatic mode

 page 88 ensures maximum wellbeing of the
occupants at all times of the year.
Description of Climatronic system The cooling operates only if the following conditions are met:
engine running,

outside temperature above approx. +2°C,

switched on.
If the cooling system is switched on, th
e temperature and air humidity drops in the
vehicle. The wellbeing of the occupants of the car is enhanced as a result of this partic-ularly at high outside temperatures and a high air humidity. The system prevents the windows misting up during the cold season of the year. The heating effect is dependent upon the coolant temperature, thus full heat output only occurs when the engine has reached its operating temperature. It is possible to briefly activate recirculat
ed air mode in order to enhance the cooling
effect

.
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of ice, snow or leaves in order to ensure that the heating and cooling systems operate properly. The AC compressor is switched off at a high
coolant temperature in order to provide
cooling at a high load of the engine. After switching on the cooling
Condensation
from the evaporator of the air condi-
tioning may drip down and form a puddle be
low the vehicle. This is quite normal and
not an indication of a leak!
