Instrument overview

Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and
to accidents and serious injuries.
•Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the
exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle, e.g. dry grass or fuel.
•Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of accidents, both for you and for other road users.
If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn
other road users.
•Before opening the bonnet, switch off the engine and allow it to cool down sufficiently.
•The engine compartment of any motor vehicle is a dangerous area. Serious injuries can be
sustained here ⇒ Preparation for working in the engine compartment.
WARNING
Failure to observe the illuminated indicator lamps could lead to the vehicle being damaged.
NOTICE
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted.
•Never press the buttons on the instrument cluster while the vehicle is in motion.

engine may otherwise be incurred.
NOTICE

Warning and information displays
The system checks certain components and functions in the vehicle when the ignition is switched
on or while the vehicle is in motion. Functional faults are indicated by warning symbols on the
instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lamps). An acoustic warning is also given in
certain cases. Different instrument cluster designs will have different displays.
Distance displays
The odometer registers the total distance travelled by the car.
The trip recorder (trip) shows the distance travelled since the trip recorder was last reset. The final
digit shows distances of 100 m.
Outside temperature display
If the outside temperature falls below +4°C (+39°F), the display also shows a snowflake symbol (ice
warning). This symbol flashes and then remains constantly lit until the outside temperature rises
above +6°C (+43°F) ⇒.
When the vehicle is stationary or travelling at very low speeds, the temperature displayed may be
slightly higher than the actual outside temperature as a result of the heat radiated from the engine.
The measuring range lies between -40℃ (-40°F) and +50 ℃ (+122°F).
Selector lever positions
The chosen selector lever position is indicated by luminous lettering on the selector lever. In
position D the selected gear and the current position are shown in the instrument cluster display. In
position (Tiptronic) only the selected gear is shown ⇒ Changing gear.
Gear-change indicator (manual gearbox)
While the vehicle is in motion, the instrument cluster may show which gear should be selected to
reduce fuel consumption ⇒ Changing gear.
Belt status display for the rear seats
Once the ignition has been switched on, the driver can see the belt status display in the instrument
cluster display and therefore can tell whether or not the rear passengers have fastened their seat
belts ⇒ Seat belts.
Start/stop system status display
The instrument cluster display shows information about the current status ⇒ Pull-away assist
systems.
The design and content of displays may vary, as different instrument clusters are available.
Failure to observe the warning lamps could lead to your vehicle breaking down in traffic, and
to accidents and serious injuries.
•Never ignore any warning lamps that are lit up.
•Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and when safe to do so.
•Broken-down vehicles increase the risk of accidents, both for you and for other road users.
If necessary, switch on the hazard warning lights and set up the warning triangle to warn
other road users.
•Stop the vehicle at a safe distance away from moving traffic and ensure that no part of the
exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable material underneath the
vehicle, e.g. dry grass or fuel.
WARNING
Streets and bridges can be iced over at outside temperatures above freezing point.
•There may be black ice on the roads at outside temperatures above +4°C (+39°F) and
also when no snowflake symbol is displayed as a black ice warning.
•You should never rely solely on the outside temperature display!
WARNING
Failure to observe the illuminated indicator lamps could lead to the vehicle being damaged.

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Folding the backrests on the rear bench seat forwards and backwards
⇒ Luggage compartment cover
⇒ Variable luggage compartment floor
⇒ Fastening rings
⇒ Bag hook
Heavy objects must always be transported in the luggage compartment and you must ensure that
the rear seat backrests are securely engaged in the upright position. Always use suitable securing
straps with the fastening rings. Never exceed the vehicle's maximum payload. Both the payload
and the distribution of the load in the vehicle will have an effect on the driving response and braking
distance ⇒.
Additional information and warnings:
•Airbag system ⇒ Airbag system
•Lights ⇒ Lights
•Transporting ⇒ Driving notes
•Wheels and tyres ⇒ Wheels and tyres
Exceeding the maximum permissible weights and axle loads can cause damage to the
vehicle, accidents and serious injuries.
•The actual axle loads must never exceed the maximum permissible axle loads.
•The payload and the distribution of the load in the vehicle have an effect on the driving
response and braking distance of the vehicle. Adjust your speed accordingly.
WARNING
The payload should be distributed as evenly as possible in the vehicle. When transporting
heavy objects in the luggage compartment, they should be placed either in front of or over the
rear axle in order to minimise the effect on the vehicle's handling.
NOTICE

Starting the engine
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The steps should only be carried out in the specified order.
Manual gearboxAutomated manual gearbox
1.Depress the brake pedal and hold it until
step 5 has been completed.Turn the vehicle key to position ⇒ Fig. 93①.
2.Fully depress the clutch pedal until the
engine has been started.
Depress the brake pedal and hold it until
step 5 has been completed.
3.Shift the gear stick to a neutral position.Place the selector lever in position N.
4.Turn the vehicle key in the ignition lock to position ⇒ Fig. 93② – do not depress the
accelerator.
5.Release the vehicle key once the engine has started.
6.If the engine does not start, stop the procedure and repeat it after approximately one minute.
7.Release the handbrake if you wish to pull away ⇒ Braking, stopping and parking.
Natural gas engines
The gas engine will only start with gas. It is possible to start the engine with petrol under the
following conditions:
•Very low outside temperatures.
•The mixture adjustment after filling is not yet complete.
•Natural gas tank is empty.
Do not warm up the engine by running it while the vehicle is stationary. Instead, pull off as
soon as there is good visibility through the windows. This helps the engine to reach operating
temperature more quickly and reduces emissions.
Components with a high power consumption are switched off temporarily when the engine is
started.
When starting from cold, the engine may be a little noisy for the first few seconds. This is
quite normal, and no cause for concern.
Stopping the engine
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
The steps should only be carried out in the specified order.
Manual gearboxAutomated manual gearbox
1.The vehicle must be completely stationary ⇒.
2.Depress the brake pedal and hold it until step 4 has been completed.
3.Place the selector lever in position D or R.
4.Apply the handbrake firmly ⇒ Braking, stopping and parking.
5.Turn the vehicle key to position ⇒ Fig. 93⓪.
6.Select 1st gear or reverse gear.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine running. The vehicle could move suddenly,
particularly if a gear or position is selected, and cause accidents and serious injuries.
WARNING
A start booster can explode or suddenly cause the engine to run at high revs.
•Never use a start booster.
WARNING
•The starter and the engine can be damaged if you attempt to start the engine while the
vehicle is in motion or if the engine is started again immediately after it has been switched
off.
•When the engine is cold, avoid high engine speeds, driving at full throttle and overloading
the engine.
•Do not push-start or tow-start the engine. Unburnt fuel can damage the catalytic converter.
