 and reserve indicator
Instrument panel: fuel gauge.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 litres.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone  ⇒fig. 34 (arrow), the warning 
lamp will light and an acoustic signal will sound  reminding the driver to 
refuel. At this point there are still ab out 7 litres of fuel in the tank.
The following text appears on the instrument panel display

Engine coolant temperature display 
 
This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature.
Needle in cold zone 
Avoid high engine speeds and heavy engine loads  ⇒fig. 35 .
Needle in normal zone 
In normal driving conditions, the needle  should be in the middle section of 
the scale. The temperature may also rise when the engine is working hard, 
especially at high outside temperatures . This is no cause for concern as long 
as the warning lamp does not light up  and no warning* text appears in the 
combi-instrument display.
Needle in warning zone 
The warning lamp*  ⇒page 73, fig. 48    will light up if the needle is in the 
warning zone. The following warning  appears on the instrument panel

188speed suitable for the road conditions. Failure to do so could result in an 
accident.Brakes
What factors can have a negative effect on the brakes?New brake pads
New brake pads do not provide optimal performance during the first 400 km 
they must be “run in”. However, the reduced braking capacity may be 
compensated by pressing on the brake pedal a little harder. Avoid over-
loading the brakes during run-in.
Wear
The rate of wear on the  brake pads depends a great deal on how you drive and 
the conditions in which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors are, for 
instance, city traffic, frequent short tr ips or hard driving with abrupt starts 
and stops.
Wet roads; road salt
When the velocity is  over 80 km/h windscreen wipers are  on, the brake 
system moves the pads towards the brake discs for a few seconds. This 
occurs - without warning to the driver - at regular intervals and requires a 
more rapid response from the brakes when driving on wet roads.
In certain conditions, such as in heavy  rain, or after washing the car or driving 
through water, the full braking effect ca n be delayed by moisture (or in winter 
by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The brakes should be “dried” by pressing 
the pedal to restore full braking effect.
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be temporarily reduced if the car is 
driven for some distance without using the brakes when there is a lot of salt  on the road in winter. In this case, the layer of salt on the brake discs and pads 
has to wear off before braking.
Corrosion
There may be a tendency for dirt to build up on the brake pads and corrosion 
to form on the discs if the car is used infrequently, or if you only drive low 
mileages without using the brakes very much.
If the brakes are not used frequently, or 
if rust has formed on the disks, it is 
advisable to clean off the pads and disks by braking firmly a few times from a 
moderately high speed ⇒ .
Faults in the brake system
If the brake pedal travel should ever increase  suddenly, this may mean that 
one of the two brake circuits has failed. Drive immediately to the nearest qual-
ified workshop and have the fault rectified. On the way to the dealer, be 
prepared to use more pressure on the brake pedal, and allow for longer stop-
ping distances.
Low brake fluid level
Malfunctions can occur in the brake system if the brake fluid level is too low. 
The brake fluid level is monitored electronically.
Brake servo
The brake servo amplifies the pressure you apply to the brake pedal. The 
brake servo works only when the engine is running.
WARNING
•
When applying the brakes to clean off deposits on the pads and discs, 
select a clear, dry road. Be sure not to inconvenience or endanger other 
road users. Risk of accident.
•
Ensure the vehicle does not move wh ile in neutral, when the motor is 
stopped. Failure to do so could result in an accident.

Data on fuel consumptionFuel consumption
The consumption and emission details shown on the vehicle 
data sticker differ from one vehicle to another.The fuel consumption and CO
2 emissions of the vehicle can be found on the 
vehicle data sticker.
The fuel consumption and emissions figures given are based on the vehicle 
weight category, which is determine d according to the engine/gearbox 
combination and the equipment fitted.
The consumption and emission figures ar e calculated in accordance with the 
EC test requirements 1999/100/EC. These  test requirements specify a real-
istic test method based on normal everyday driving.
The following test conditions are applied:
Note
•
Actual consumption may vary from quoted test values, depending on 
personal driving style, road and traffic conditions, the weather and the 
vehicle condition.
WeightsKerb weight refers to the basic model with a fuel tank filled to 90% capacity 
and without optional extras. The figure quoted includes 75 kg to allow for the 
weight of the driver.
For special versions and optional equipment fittings or for the addition of 
accessories, the weight of the vehicle will increase  ⇒.
WARNING
•
Please note that the centre of gravity may shift when transporting 
heavy objects; this may affect the vehicle's handling and lead to an acci-
dent. Always adjust your speed and driving style to suit road conditions 
and requirements.
•
Never exceed the gross axle weight rating or the gross vehicle weight 
rating. If the allowed axle load or the allowed total weight is exceeded, the 
driving characteristics of the vehicle may change, leading to accidents, 
injuries and damage to the vehicle.
Urban cycle
The urban cycle starts with an engine cold start. City driving 
is then simulated.
Extra urban 
cycle
In the extra urban cycle simulation the vehicle frequently 
accelerates and brakes in all gears, as in normal everyday 
driving. The road speed ranges from 0 to 120 km/h.
Total  con-
sumption
The average total consumption is calculated with a weighting 
of around 37% for the urba n cycle and 63% for the extra 
urban cycle.
CO2 emis-
sions
The exhaust gases are collected during both driving cycles to 
calculate carbon dioxide emissions. The gas composition is 
then analysed to evaluate the CO
2 content and other emis-
sions.
