Additional lights in front of the cooling air intake interfere with the flow of
cooling air. At high ambient temperatures and full throttle there isa danger
that the engine will then overheat.

The gauge starts to work when the ignition is switched on. The
warning lamp will light up for a few seconds as a functional check
when the ignition is switched on.
The tank holds about 45 litres.
When the needle moves to the red reserve zone, warning light
d
lights up at the same time that an acoustic warning signal is
produced; this means that approximately 7 litres of fuel remain.

General notes
• Brake lining wear depends to a large extent on the operating
conditions and style of driving. On vehicles which are used mainly
in town traffic and stop/ start conditions or are driven hard it may
be necessary to have the thickness of the brake linings checked by
a Technical Service Centre in between the intervals given in the
Inspection and Service Schedule.
• Change down in good time when driving downhill, in order to
make use of the engine braking effect. This relieves strain on the
brake system. When the brakes are applied do not keep them on
continuously, apply and release alternately.

What can have a negative effect on the brakes?

151 Care and maintenance
Safety FirstControls and equipment Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
in the washing water it is advisable to protect the paint with a coat
of hard wax at least twice a year.
K
Polishing
Should only be done if paint has lost its shine and gloss cannot be
brought back with wax. If the polish used does not contain
preservative compounds, the paint must be waxed afterwards.
N No
ot
te
e
Matt painted and plastic parts should not be treated with polish or hard
wax.K
Paint damage
Small marks in the paint such as scratchesor stone damage
should be touched up immediately with paint before the metal
starts to rust.
However, should rust be found at any time it must be removed
thoroughly and then the area treated first with an anti-corrosion
primer and then the correct paint applied.
The number of the original vehicle paint is given on the data
sticker which is inside the boot in the spare wheel housing.
K
Windows
Remove snow and ice from windows and mirrors with a plastic
scraper only. To avoid scratches due to dirt on the glass, the
scraper should only be pushed in one direction and not moved to
and fro.
Traces of rubber, oil, wax
1), grease or silicone can be removed with
a window cleaning solution or a silicone remover.
The windows should also be cleaned on the inside at regular
intervals.
Do not dry the windows with the leather used for the paintwork
because traces of paint cleaner will cause streaks to appear on the
glass, which will hinder vision.
To avoid damaging the heating element wires in the rear window
do not put stickers over the wires on the inside.
K
Door, boot and window seals
The weatherstrips will remain flexible and last longer if they are
rubbed lightly with a rubber protective compound from time to
time. This will also stop the weatherstrips from freezing on in
winter.
K
Door lock cylinder
You should only use an appropriate spray, which has lubricating
and anti-corrosive qualities, to de-ice the lock cylinder.
K
1)This wax residue can only be removed with a special cleaner. Your Technical Service
Centre will provide you with more detailed information.
