Resetting service interval display (SID)
QG1 and QG2
The pre-information about an up-coming service will be
displayed 30 days before the service interval. The read-
out appears on the display for the kilometre counter after
switching on the ignition whereby the number of remain-
ing kilometres required to reach the distance interval will
be displayed for the first 10 seconds while the number of
days remaining to reach the time interval will be shown in
the next 10 seconds. This interval will reduce later in
steps while driving down to 1 day or 100 kilometres. This
display stops blinking after 20 minutes, after starting the
engine or after pressing the reset button of the short jour-
ney counter.
If the due date of a service is reached, the key symbol ap-
pears in the short journey counter below the speedome-
ter as a flashing display, after the ignition is switched on,
whereby there are no numbers displayed. The display is
accompanied by an audible tone signal. This display
stops blinking after 20 seconds, after starting the engine
or after pressing the reset button of the short journey
counter.
If no inspection service is made the display will appear in
a similar way to that for reaching the service interval but
minus values will be both displayed and accumulated.
The pre-information display shows 30 days before the
due date of an inspection.

02-9 Miscellaneous
Tow starting/Towing
♦A towing rope or towing bar must only be fitted to the
above towing lugs.
♦The towing rope must be elastic to protect the vehicle.
Therefore only use synthetic ropes or ropes manufac-
tured in an equally elastic material. However, it is saf-
er to use a towing bar!
♦Make sure no unauthorised traction forces and no jolt-
ing loads are exerted. During towing manoeuvres
away from hardened road surfaces there is a risk of
overloading and damaging the fixation parts.
♦Before starting the engine by towing, first use the bat-
tery of another vehicle as a start aid.
Front: The threaded hole of the front towing lug is located
in the front right part of the bumper behind the cover grill.
Screw in the towing lug by hand by turning it to the left (in
the direction of the arrow) up to the stop.
Rear: The towing lug is located below the rear right part
of the bumper.
♦Comply with the legal regulations on towing.
♦Both drivers must be familiar with the specificities of
the towing process.
♦When using a towing rope the driver of the towing ve-
hicle must press the clutch very smoothly when driv-
ing off and changing gear.
♦The driver of the towed vehicle must make sure the
rope is kept taut.
♦The ignition must be switched on to ensure the steer-
ing wheel does not lock and the turn signals, horn,
windscreen wipers and windscreen washer system
can be activated.
♦As the brake servo unit only operates with the engine
running, the brake pedal must be pressed much hard-
er when the engine is switched off.
♦On vehicles with power steering the steering is much
harder when the engine is switched off.
♦If there is no lubricant in the gearbox or automatic
gearbox the vehicle must only be towed with the drive
wheels raised.
When towing vehicles with a manual gearbox
pay attention to the following:
–Before towing engage 2nd or 3rd gear.
–Switch on ignition.
