Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
6Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy for you to find and absorb the information you require.Chapters, table of contents and subject indexThe text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are combined into easy-to-read
chapters
. The chapter you are reading at any partic-
ular moment is highlighted at the bottom right of the page. The
Table of contents
is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed
Subject index
at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the infor-
mation you are looking for.SectionsThe majority of
Sections
apply to all models.
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clearly unavoidable, despite dividing the contents into sections, that mention may be made of equipment which is
not fitted to your vehicle.
Brief information and instructionsEach section has a
Heading
.
This is followed by
Brief information
(in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section. Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an
Instruction
(in relatively large
letters) which explains to you in a straig
htforward way the action you have to take.
Work steps
which have to be carried out are illustrated with a hyphen.
Direction indicationsAll direction indications such as “left”, “right
”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.Explanation of symbols* Equipment which is marked in such a wa
y is only standard
on certain vehicle
model versions or only suppliable as
optional equipment for certain models.
 End of a section.
 The section is continued on the next page.NotesAll four kinds of notes, which are used in th
e text, are always stated at the end of the
respective section.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. These WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury. While reading the text you will frequently encounter a double arrow followed by a small warning symbol. This
symbol is intended to draw your
attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you must pay careful attention.
Caution
A Caution
note draws your
attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points
out general risks of an accident.
For the sake of the environment
An Environmental
note draws your attention to environmental protection aspects.
This is where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel consump- tion.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention
in a general way to important information.

Engine revolutions counterThe red zone of the rev counter scale
⇒page 17, fig. 17
indicates the range in
which the engine control unit begins to li
mit the engine speed. The engine control
unit restricts the engine speed to the steady limit value. Shift into the next higher gear or select
the selector lever position D of the auto-
matic gearbox before reaching the red zone of the rev counter scale. Avoid high engine speeds during the driv
ing time and before the engine has been
warmed up to operating temperature
⇒page 201.
For the sake of the environment
Shifting up early helps you save fuel and reduce the operating noise of your vehicle.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 ag
ain when the vehicle
speed goes below this speed limit.
Note
This function is only valid for some countries.Coolant temperature gaugeThe coolant temperature gauge
⇒page 17, fig. 17
operates only when the igni-
tion is switched on. In order to avoid any damage to the engine
, please pay attentio
n 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. Avoi
d running at high engine speeds, at full
throttle and at severe engine loads. The operating range The engine has reached its operating temperature 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 temper
atures. 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 38, “Coolant temperature/ Coolant quantity
”.
WARNING
Pay attention to the warning notes
⇒page 223, “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 17, fig. 17
only operates when th
e ignition is switched
on. The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The warning symbol
 in the instru-
ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve marking. There are now about 9 litres of fuel remaining in the tank. This symbol is a reminder for you,
that
you must refuel
.

Check front right dipped beam!
The rear side lights and the licence plate
lighting require several light bulbs. The
indicator light
 only lights up if all light bulbs
of the licence plate lighting or the
parking light (in one rear light unit) are defe
ctive. Check regularly the function of the
light bulbs.Adaptive headlights*

If the warning light
 flashes for 1 minute while driving or after switching on the
ignition and a warning signal sounds, a fault of the adaptive headlights is confirmed. Further information
⇒page 63.
Diesel particle filter*

(diesel engine)
If the warning light

comes on, this means that soot has accumulated in the
diesel particle filter because of the frequent short distances. In order to clean the diesel particle filter,
the vehicle should be driven at an even
speed of at least 60 km/h at engine speeds of 1 800 - 2 500 rpm for at least 15 minutes or until the warning light goes out with the 4th or 5th gear engaged (auto-matic gearbox: position S) when the traffi
c situation permits it. This increases the
exhaust temperature and the soot deposited in the diesel particle filter is burnt. Always pay attention to the valid speed limits

.
The warning light

goes out after the successful cleaning of the diesel particle
filter. If the filter is not properly cleaned, the warning light

does not go out and the
warning light
 begins to flash. In the in
formation display* appears
Diesel-
particle Owner's manual
. Afterwards the engine control unit shifts the engine into
the emergency mode, which only has a re
duced power output. After switching the
ignition off and on again the warning light
 comes on.

Starting-off and Driving
118
Ignition lockPetrol engines - ignition switched off, engine
off, the steering can be locked.
- ignition switched on - start engine Diesel engines - interruption of fuel supply, ignition sw
itched off, engine off, the steering can
be locked. - heating glow plugs on, ignition switched on•
You should not switch on any major elec
trical components during the heating
period otherwise the vehicle batt
ery will be drained unnecessarily.
- start engine Applies to all models: Position

To lock the steering
, with the ignition key withdrawn, turn the steering wheel until
the steering locking pin is heard to engage. You should always lock the steering as a general rule if you leave your
vehicle. This acts as a deterrent against possible theft
of your vehicle
⇒
.
Position

Move the steering wheel back and forward a little if the ignition key cannot, or cannot easily be turned into
this position, in order to
release the steering lock.
Position

The engine is started in this position. At
the same time switched on low beam or
main beam or other electrical compon
ents with major power consumption are
briefly switched off. The ignition key
moves back into position when one
releases the key. The ignition key must be turned back into position each time before starting the engine again. The starter repeat lock in th
e ignition lock prevents the starter being
engaged when the engine is r
unning and thus getting damaged.
Ignition key withdrawal lock (automatic gearbox) You can only withdraw the ignition key after switching off the ignition if the selector lever is in position
P.
WARNING
•
When driving, the ignition key must always be in the position (igni-
tion switched on) without the engine running. This position is indicated by the warning lights coming on. If this is not the case, it could result in unex- pected locking of the steerin
g wheel - risk of accident!
•
Only remove the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has
come to a standstill (by applying the handbrake or moving the selector lever into the position P). The steering lock
can engage immediately - risk of acci-
dent!•
Always withdraw the ignition key if
you are going to leave the vehicle,
even for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle. The children might
otherwise start the engine
or switch on electrical
equipment (e.g. power windows) - risk of accident or injury!
