Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6
Layout 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 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 letteri ng), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustration s are accompanied by an Instruction (in relatively large
letters) which explains to you in a straight forward 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 optional equipment for certain models. End of a section. The section is continued on the next page.NotesThere are four kinds of notes. Notes al ways appear at the end of a section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. A WARNING
note draws 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 how you might avoid 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 has information about protecting the environment. This is
where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel consumption.
Note
A normal Note draws your attention in a gene ral way to important information.
