Introduction2
On-board literature
The on-board literature for your vehicle consists of this “Owner's
Manual” as well as a “Service schedule” and a “Help on the road”. There
can also be a variety of other additional operating manuals and instructions on-board (e.g. an operating manual for the radio) depending on the
vehicle model and equipment.
If one of the publications listed above is missing, please contact a
specialist garage immediately, where one will be glad to assist you in such
matters.
One should note that the details given in the vehicle's papers always
take precedence over those in the Owner's Manual.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual describes the current scope of equipment.
Certain items of equipment listed are only installed later on and only
envisaged for particular markets. The illustrations can differ in minor
details from your vehicle; they are only intended for general information.
In addition to information regarding all the controls and equipment, the
Owner's Manual also contains important information regarding care and
operation for your safety and also to retain the value of your vehicle. To
provide you with valuable tips and aids. You will learn how you can
operate your vehicle safely, economically and in an environmentally
conscious way.
For safety reasons, please also pay attention to the information on
accessories, modifications and replacement of parts ⇒ page 238.
The other chapters of the Owner's Manual are also important, however,
for proper treatment of your car - in addition to regular care and maintenance - helps to retain its value and in many cases is also one of the
conditions for possible warranty claims.
The Service schedule
contains:
• Vehicle data;
• Service intervals;
• Overview of the service work;
• Service proof;
• Confirmation of mobility warranty (only valid in certain countries);
• important information on the warranty.
The confirmations of the carried out service work are one of the conditions for possible warranty claims.
Please always present the Service schedule when you take your car to a
specialist garage.
If the Service schedule is missing or worn, please contact the specialist
garage where your car is serviced regularly. You will receive a duplicate, in
which the previously carried out service work are confirmed.

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 index
The 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 information you are looking for.
Sections
The 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 instructions
Each 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 straightforward way the action you have to take.
Work steps which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.
Direction indications
All 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.
Notes
All four kinds of notes, which are used in the 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

Engine revolutions counter
The red zone of the rev counter scale ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to limit the engine speed. The engine control
unit restricts the engine speed to a steady limit value.
Before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale, shift up into the next higher
gear.
Avoid high engine speeds during the driving time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature ⇒ page 187.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your
vehicle.
Speedometer
Warning 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 17, fig. 18 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 temperature. 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 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 37, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity ”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes ⇒ page 219, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached components in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine overheating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!
Fuel gauge
The fuel gauge ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 only operates when the ignition is switched
on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The warning symbol in the instrument cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 10.5 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that you must refuel.

Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
Please refuel!
An audible signal sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! The irregular supply of the fuel system
can lead to irregular running of the engine. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust
system and damage the catalytic converter.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates approx.
a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the correct fuel
supply quantity is indicated. This effect is not a fault.
Counter for distance driven
The distance which you have driven with your vehicle is shown in kilometres (km).
In some countries the measuring unit “mile” is used.
Reset button
If you hold the reset button ⇒ page 17, fig. 18 pressed for about 1 second, the
trip counter is set back to zero.
Trip counter for distance driven
The trip counter indicates the distance which you have driven ⇒ fig. 19 since this
counter was last reset - in steps of 100 metres or 1/10 of a mile.
Counter for distance driven
The counter for distance driven ⇒ fig. 19 indicates the total distance in kilometers
or miles which the vehicle has driven.
Fault disp lay
If there is a fault in the instrument cluster, a constant text will appear in the display
Error. 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!
Note
If vehicles which are fitted with the information display* the display of the second
speed is activated in mph or km/h, this driving speed is indicated instead of the
counter for the total distance driven.

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 by using the reset button ⇒ page 17 on the

Caution
We recommend that you do not reset the Service Interval Display yourself otherwise 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.
• If the instrument cluster is exchanged after a repair, the correct values must be
entered in the counter for the Service Interval Display. This work is carried out by a
specialist garage.
• The data displayed is the same after resetting the display with flexible service
intervals (QG1) using the reset button as that for a vehicle with fixed service intervals (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.

Memory
The multi-functional indicator is equipped with two automatic memories. The
selected memory is displayed in the middle of the display field ⇒ fig. 21.
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 data relates to the total distance
memory (memory 2).
Switching over the memory with the help of the button ⇒ fig. 22 on the windscreen wiper lever or with the help of the button on the multifunction steering
wheel* ⇒ page 23.
Single-trip memory (memory 1)
The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation 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 journeys 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 1 and 2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.
