180DO-IT-YOURSELFAdditional points for the driver of the to-
wed vehicle to note during tow-starting:
Before starting to tow the car, engage
3rd or 4th gear, depress clutch pedal and
hold. The ignition should be switched on.
Once both vehicles are moving, release
the clutch pedal.
As soon as the engine has started, de-
press clutch pedal and take the car out of
gear to avoid running into the towing vehi-
cle.
If your car is fitted with a catalytic con-
verter, the engine must not be started by
towing the car over a distance of more
than 50 m (150 ft) if the catalytic con-
verter is warm otherwise uncombusted
fuel may get into the catalytic converter
and cause damage. Pay attention to the following points if
towing a car fitted with an automatic
gearbox:
Move the shift lever into position „N“.
The maximum towing speed is 50 km/h
(30 mph).
The maximum towing distance is 50 km
(30 miles)!
If the car has to be towed over a greater
distance, the front wheels should be raised
clear of the ground.
The gear oil pump does not operate when
the engine is not running; consequently, the
gearbox is not sufficiently lubricated when
running at high speeds and over lengthy
distances.
If the car is towed by a tow truck, the front
wheels should always be raised clear of the
ground.
If the rear wheels are raised clear of the
ground, the drive shafts will rotate in the
opposite direction. As a result, the gears in
the automatic gearbox will run at such high
speeds that the gearbox could suffer se-
vere damage within a short time.

TECHNICAL DATA
Vehicle identification number (VIN)
The vehicle identification number - VIN (vehicle body number) is stamped into the
engine compartment on the right hand shoc k absorber dome. This number is also
located on a sign on the lower left hand edge below the windscreen (together with
a VIN bar code).
Engine number
The engine number is stamped into the engine block.
Type plate (production plate)
The type plate is located in the engine co mpartment at the front on the left hand
shock absorber dome.
Homologation sign
The homologation sign is located on the lo ck carrier. Vehicles for certain countries
do not have an homologation sign.
Sticker on inside of fuel filler flap
The sticker is affixed to the inside of the fuel filler flap. The sticker contains the
following data:
•The prescribed types of fuel,
•Tyre si z e,
•Tyre pressure.
Fuel consumption according to the regulations
(99/100/EU)
Depending on the range of the special equipment, style of driving, traffic situation,
weather influences an d vehicle condition, the consum ption values which in prac-
tice result when using the vehicle ca n deviate from the indicated values.
Urban traffic
The consumption measurement in urban traffic begins with starting of the cold
engine. Afterwards the normal urban traffic is simulated. Non-urban traffic
For the consumption measurement in non-ur
ban traffic the vehicle, as in daily
motoring, is accelerated and braked several times in all gears. The vehicle speed
changes within the range from 0 to 120 km/h.
Combined traffic
The consumption value in the combined traf fic consists of 37% from the value for
the urban traffic and of 63% from the value for the non-urban traffic.
