Technical Data
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 temp
erature as soon as the pointer moves
into the mid-range of the scale. The pointe
r may also move further to the right at
high engine loads and high outside temperat
ures. 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 30, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 160, “Working in the engine
compartment” before opening the bonnet and inspecting the coolant level.
Caution
Additional headlights and other attached co
mponents in front of the fresh air inlet
impair the cooling efficiency of the coolant. There is then a risk of the engine over- heating at high outside temperatures and high engine loads!Fuel gaugeThe fuel gauge
⇒page 16, fig. 18
only operates when the ignition is switched
on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 55 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now
about 7 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that
you must refuel
.
The following will be displayed in the information display*:
PLEASE REFUEL
A peep sounds as an additional warning signal.
Caution
Never run the fuel tank completely empty! An irregular fuel supply can result in poor ignition or misfiring. Unburnt fuel may get into the exhaust system and damage the catalytic converter.SpeedometerWarning against excessive speeds* An acoustic warning signal will sound when the vehicle speed exceeds 120 kilome- tres 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.

The figure is not valid for an estate car.
Roof loadDistribute weight evenly over the roof
luggage rack system. The maximum permis-
sible roof load (including roof rack system) of
75 kg
and the maximum permissible
total weight of the vehicl
e should not be exceeded.
You cannot make full use of the permissible roof load if you use a roof luggage rack system with a lower load
carrying capacity.
The load transported on the roof
luggage rack system must not exceed the weight limit which is stated in the fitting instructions.
WARNING
•
The items which you transport on the roof bar system must be reliably
attached - risk of accident!•
You must on no account exceed the permissible roof load, the permis-
sible axle loads and the permissible gros
s weight of your vehicle - risk of
accident!•
Please note that the handling prop
erties of your ve
hicle change when
you transport heavy or bulky items on the roof bar system as a result of the displacement of the centre of gravity and the increased wind attack area - risk of accident! You must absolutely adapt your style of driving and the speed of the vehicle to the specific circumstances.Cup holder in front centre consoleAfter pressing in direction of arrow,
