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 manual are divided into relatively short sections which are
combined into easy-to-read chapters. The chapter you are reading at any partic-
ular 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 infor-
mation 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 which 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 straig htforward 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 wa y is only standard on certain vehicle
model versions or only suppliable as optional 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 frequently 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 attention.
Caution
A Caution note draws your attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points out 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.

When the lights are switched on, the instrument cluster is illuminated.
Engine revolutions counterThe start of the red zone in the revolutions counter ⇒fig. 18 indicates the
maximum permissible engine speed for all gears for an engine which has been run in and operating at a normal temperature.
Before reaching this area shift up into
the next higher gear.
One should shift to the next lower gear at the latest when the engine is no longer
running “smoothly”.
Avoid high engine speeds du ring the running-in period ⇒page 139.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps yo u save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge ⇒fig. 18 operates only when the ignition is
switched on.

Technical Data
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 temperature. Avoid running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads.
The operating range
The engine has reached its operating temp erature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temperat ures. This is not critical provided the
warning symbol
 in the instrument cluster 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 30, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒page 162, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co mponents in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over-
heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge ⇒page 16, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment 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
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in
poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and
damage the catalytic converter.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds*
An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome-
tres 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.

Instruments and Indicator/Warning Lights
18Counter for distance drivenThe distance which you have driven with yo ur vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
On certain model versions, the readout is shown in “miles”.
Bottom counter (trip counter) for distance driven
The bottom counter indicates the distan ce which you have driven since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metr es or 1/10 of a mile. It can be reset to
zero by pressing the reset butt on next to the trip counter ⇒fig. 19 .
Top counter for distance driven
The top counter for distance driven indica tes the total distance in kilometres or
miles which the vehicl e has been driven.
Fa ult di spl ay
dEF will appear as a constant text in the display field of the counter for distance
driven if there is a fault in the instrument cluster. Have the fault rectified as soon as
possible by a specialist workshop.
WARNING
Never seek to adjust the trip counter for distance driven while driving for
safety reasons!
Service Interval DisplayDepending on the equipment installed in the vehicle, the text can differ slightly on
the display.
Service Interval Display
If the due date for the service is reached, it is displayed

Technical Data
The display disappears within 20 seconds after switching on the ignition. The trip
counter is also displayed af
ter pressing the reset button for the trip counter (for
more than 0,5 second).
Resetting Service Interval Display
It is only possible to reset the Service Interval Display, if a service message or at least
a pre-warning is shown on the display of the instrument cluster.
We recommend having this resetting performed by a specialist garage.
The specialist garage:
•
resets the memory of the display after the appropriate inspection,
•
makes an entry in the Service schedule,
•
affix the sticker with the entry of the following service interval to the side of the
dash panel on the driver's side.
Reset the service interval displays as follows by using the reset button
⇒ page 16, fig. 18 on the trip counter:
•
Press the reset button with the ignition switched off and and hold it down.
•
Switch the ignition on, release the reset button. The text Service or SERVICE
NOW appears in the display.
•
Turn the button for setting the clock to the right - as a result of this the display
is reset.Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself other-
wise this can result in the service interval display being incorrectly set, which may
also result in problems with operation of your vehicle.
Note
•
Never reset the display between service intervals otherwise this may result in
incorrect readouts.
•
information is retained in the Service Interval Display also after the battery of
the vehicle is disconnected.
•
it is necessary to re-code the Service Interval Display if a new instrument cluster
is installed during repair work. This work is carried out by a specialist garage.
•
The data displayed is the same after rese tting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as th at for a vehicle with fixed service inter-
vals (QG2). We therefore recommend having the Service Interval Display reset only
by a specialist garage which is familiar with the procedure for resetting the display
with a vehicle system tester.
•
Please refer to the brochure Service schedule for extensive information about
the service intervals.
Digital clockA clock-set button is installed on the bottom left beside the speedom-
eter for adjusting the clock ⇒page 16, fig. 18 .
Set hours
– Turn the reset button to the left.
Setting minutes
