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 particular
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 information 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 whic
h 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 straightforw
ard 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 way is
only standard on certain vehicle model
versions or only suppliable as opti
onal 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 frequent
ly 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 atten- tion.
Caution
A Caution
note draws your attention to the possib
ility of damage to your vehicle (e.g.
damage to gearbox), or points ou
t 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 consumption.
Note
A normal
Note
draws your attention in a general way to important information.

Technical Data
Single-trip memory (memory 1) The single-trip memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if the trip is continued
within 2 hours
after switching off
the ignition. The memory will be is automatically erased, on the other hand, if the trip is interrupted for
more than 2 hours
.
Total-trip memory (memory 2) The total distance driven memory gathers da
ta from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9.999 kilometres driven. The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calculation starts from anew. The total-trip memory will not, contrary to
the single-trip memory, be deleted after a
period of interr
uption of driving of 2 hours.
Note
All information in the memory
1 and
2 is erased if the battery of the vehicle is
disconnected.Operating with the buttons on the windshield wiper lever and on the multifunction steering wheel*Fig. 19 Multi-functional indicator: Control elementsThe rocker switch and the button are lo

lay when the ignition is switched on.
If the outside temperature drops below +4°C, a snow flake symbol (warning signal for ice on the road) appears in front of the
temperature indicator and flashes for 10
seconds, then remains displayed together with the outside temperature
⇒fig. 20
. At
the same time an audible signal sounds. Af
ter pressing the rocker switch at the
windshield wiper lever
⇒page 21, fig. 19
or the button at the multifunction
steering wheel
⇒page 21, fig. 19
, the function shown last is indicated.
WARNING
Do not only rely upon the information given on the outside temperature display that there is no ice on the road. Please note that black ice may also be present on the road surface even at temperatures around +4°C - warning, drive with care!Driving timeThe driving time which has elapsed since the memory was last erased, appears in the display. If you wish to measure the driving ti
me as of a particular time, you must set the
memory to zero at this moment in time by
pressing the button on the windshield
wiper lever
⇒page 21, fig. 19
or the handwheel on the multifunction steering
wheel*
⇒page 21, fig. 19
for longer than 1 second.
The maximum distance indicated in both
memories is 99 hours and 59 minutes. The
indicator is set back to null
if this period is exceeded.
Current consumptionThe current fuel consumption level is shown in
the display in litres/100 km. This infor-
mation can help you to adapt your style of
driving to the fuel co
nsumption you wish to
achieve. The display appears in litres/hour if the vehicle is stationary or driving at a low speed.The indicated value will be updated every 0.5 seconds while you are driving.Average fuel consumptionThe average fuel consumption since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in litres/100 km
⇒page 20, fig. 18
. This information can help you to adapt your
style of driving to the fuel co
nsumption you wish to achieve.
If you wish to determine the average fuel
consumption over a certain period of time
you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button on the windshield wiper lever
⇒page 21, fig. 19
or with the handwheel on the
multifunction st
eering wheel*
⇒page 21, fig. 19
. A zero appears in the display for the
first 100 m you drive after erasing the memory. The indicated value will be updated every 5 seconds while you are driving.
Note
The amount of fuel consumed will not be indicated.RangeThe estimated range in kilometres is shown on the display. It indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on th
e present level of fuel in the tank for the
same style of driving. The readout is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the indicator light for the fuel reserve the display is shown in steps of 5 km. The fuel consumption for the last 50 km is taken as a basis for calculating the range. If you drive in a more economical manner from this moment on, the range will be increased accordingly.

Technical Data
If the memory is set to zero (after disco
nnecting the battery), th
e fuel consumption of
10 ltr./100 km is calculated for the range; afterwards the value is adapted accordingly to the style of driving.Distance drivenThe distance driven since the memory was last erased appears in the display ⇒ page 20. If you wish to measure the distance
driven of a particular time, you must
set the memory to zero at this moment in time by pressing the button on the wind- shield wiper lever

The maximum distance indicated in both switch positions is 9.999 km. The indicator is set back to null if this
period is exceeded.
Average speedThe average speed since the memory was last erased is shown in the display in km/hour
⇒page 20. If you wish to determine the average vehicle speed over a certain
period of time you must set the memory to zero at the start of the measurement using the button on the windshield wiper lever

As soon as the window is de-iced or free from
mist, the heating should be switched off.
The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on fuel economy ⇒ page 177, “Saving electricity”.Note
•
The position and the shape of the swit
ch can differ depending on equipment
installed in the vehicle.•
If the on-board voltage drops, the rear window heater is switched off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control.

veloped for the vehicle, that is why you

The roof rail is the basis for a complete
roof luggage rack system. Separate addi-
tional holders are required for safety reasons for transporting luggage, bikes, surf-boards, skis and boats.•
The basic version of the roof luggage rack system and further components are
obtainable as accessories from the specialist garages.

es not collide with the roof load.

sliding/tilting roof does not strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.

lts in a higher fuel consumption.

ggage rack system. The maximum permissible
