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 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 consump- tion.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention
in a general way to important information.

⇒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 zone shift up into
the next higher gear. One should shift to a lower gear at the late
st when the engine is no longer running
“smoothly”. Avoid high engine speeds
when running-in the vehicle

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 160, “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.

Counter 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 (trip) counter for distance driven The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven since it was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile. The bottom counter can be reset by pressing the reset button of the trip counter
⇒fig. 19
.
Top counter for distance driven The top counter indicates the total distance driven in kilometres or miles which the vehicle has been driven. Fa ult di spl ay dEF
appears permanently in the trip counter display for distance driven if there is a
fault in the instrument cluste
r. 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

in the display of the trip counter:
Service 1 500 km
in the information display:
SERVICE in 1500 km
The kilometre readout decreases in steps of 100°km.If the due date for the service is reached,
the following text appears as a flashing

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. The service interval display can also be reset with the reset button as follows ⇒ page 16, fig. 18
:
•
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 Disp
lay 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

The multi-functional indicator offers
you a range of useful information.
Note
In certain national versions the displays
appear in the Imperial system of
measures.MemoryThe multi-functional indicator is eq
uipped with two automatic memories.
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 da
ta relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2). Switching of the memory takes place when the button
⇒fig. 21
.
Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the igni- tion is switched on until it
is switched off. New data will
also flow into the calcula-
tion of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after
switching off the ignition. The memory will
be is automatically 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 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. The total-trip memory will not, contrary to
the single-trip memory, be deleted after
a period of interruption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory is erased if the battery of the vehicle is disconnected.Using the systemThe rocker switch and the button are located in the grip of the window wiper lever

You can only operate the multi-functional
indicator when the ignition is switched
on. After the ignition is switched on, the fu
nction displayed is the one which you last
selected before switching off the ignition. If the outside temperature drops below
+4 °C, the outside temperature indicator
with a snow flake symbol appears. The symbol warns the driver of the possible danger of ice on the road. After the rock
er switch is pressed, the function
displays the one which you last selected before switching off the ignition.
Outside temperatureThe outside temperature appears in the disp
lay when the ignition is switched on.
The correct outside temperature will be indi
cated with a delay of
5 minutes. If the
vehicle is stationary (or driven at a very low speed) the temperature indicated may be slightly higher than the actual outsid
e temperature because of
heat radiated by
the engine. If the outside temperature drops below +4°C
, a snow flake symbol (warning signal
for ice on the road) appears be
hind the temperature indicator
⇒fig. 22
and a
warning signal sounds.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display that there is no ice on the road.
Please note that bl
ack ice may also be
present on the road surface even at
temperatures around +4°C - warning,
drive with care!Current consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in the display in litres/100 km. This information can help you to adapt your styl
e of driving to the fuel consumption you
wish to achieve.
