Mileage recorder
Fig. 11 Instrument cluster: Mileage recorder and reset
button
The mileage is stated in kilometres ("km") or
miles. You can switch the display from kilometres
to miles and vice versa via the infotainment sys
tem.
Right mileage recorder
The trip recorder shows the distance that has
been travelled since it was last reset. It is used to
measure individual journeys. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or
tenths of a mile.
The trip recorder can be reset to zero by pressing
the reset button �-
Left mileage recorder
The odometer on the left records the vehicle's to
tal mileage.
Fault display
If there is a fault in the instruments, the letters
DEF appear in the trip recorder display. Have the
fault rectified as soon as possible.
On-board computer
Fig. 12 Instrument cluster: Time and date display
22 Fig.
13 Instrument cluster: Consumption display
You can call up the following information se
quentially on the on-board computer:
- Time & date ¢ page 186
- Average fuel consumption (ltr./100 km)
- Single journey memory summary
- Total journey memory summary
The single journey memory processes the infor
mation on a journey from the time the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off. If the journey
is resumed within two hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new figures are automatically
included in the calculation.
Unlike the single journey memory, the total jour
ney memory is not erased automatical ly. In this
way, you can determine the period for which you
wish the on-board computer to supply driving in
formation.
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown in a
bar display ¢ Fig. 13. The average fuel consump
tion (ltr./100 km) from the single journey memo
ry can also be displayed. If the bar turns green,
your vehicle is saving fuel using one of the fol
lowing functions:
- Recuperation: Electrical energy can be stored in
the battery (recuperation) if the vehicle is trav
elling downhill or coasting in gear (overrun). In
this case, the bar will move towards the 0
symbol.
- Coasting mode*¢ page 75.

General notes
Running in
A new vehicle should be run in over a distance of
1,500 km. For the first 1,000 km the engine
speed should not exceed 2/3 of the maximum
per missible engine speed -do not use full throt
tle. From 1,000 to 1,500 km you can gradually
increase the engine rpm and road speed.
During its first few hours of running, the internal
friction in the engine is greater than later on
when all the moving parts have bedded down.
How the vehicle is driven for the first 1,500 km
also influences the engine quality. After this peri
od you should continue driving at moderate en
gine speeds, in particular when the engine is
cold. This helps to reduce wear and tear on the
engine and increases the potential mileage which
can be covered by the engine.
You should also avoid driving with the engine
speed too Low. Change down to a lower gear
when the engine no longer runs "smoothly". Ex
cessively high engine speeds are prevented by an
automatic rev limiter.
Driving through water on roads
Please note the following in order to prevent
damage to the vehicle when driving through wa
ter (e.g. on flooded roads):
- The water level must not be higher than the ve
hicle's underbody.
- Do not drive faster than walking pace.
A WARNING
After driving through water, mud, sludge,
etc., the braking effect can be delayed slightly
due to moisture on the discs and brake pads.
Applying the brakes carefully several times
will remove the moisture and restore the full
braking effect.
58 CD
CAUTION
Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox, run
ning gear or electrical components) can be
badly damaged when driving through water.
ij} Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa-
ter.
- Do NOT stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch off the engine before you are out of
the water.
- Bear in mind that waves created by oncom
ing traffic could exceed the permissible
wading depth of your vehicle.
- Avoid driving through salt water (corrosion).
How to improve economy and minimise
pollution
Fuel econom y, environmental impact and wear
on the engine, brakes and tyres depend largely
on the way you drive the vehicle. By adopting an
economical driving style and anticipating the
traffic situation ahead, you can reduce fuel con
sumption by 10-15%. The following section gives
you some tips on lessening the impact on the en
vironment and reducing your operating costs at
the same time.
Anticipate well in advance
A car uses most fuel when accelerating. If you an
ticipate hazards and speed changes well in ad
vance, you will need to brake less and thus accel
erate less. Wherever possible, let the car slow
down gradually with a gear engaged, for in
stance when you can see that the next traffic
lights are red.
Change gear early to save fuel
An effective way of saving fuel is to change up
quickly through the gears. Running the engine at
high rpm in the lower gears uses an unnecessary
amount offuel. Press the accelerator slowly and
avoid using the "kick-down" feature.

.... Avoid
driving at high speed
Avoid travelling at top speed. Fuel consumption,
exhaust emissions and noise Levels all increase
very rapidly at higher speeds. Driving at moder
ate speeds will help to save fuel.
Do not let the engine idle for longer than
necessary
Engine idling periods are automatically reduced
on vehicles with start/stop system*. On vehicles
without start/stop system*, it is worthwhile
switching off the engine at Level crossings, for in
stance, or at traffic lights with a Long red phase.
The fuel saved after only 30 -40 seconds is great
er than the amount of fuel needed to restart the
engine.
The engine takes a very Long time to warm up
when it is running at idling speed. Mechanical
wear and pollutant emissions are also especially
high during this initial warm-up phase. It is
therefore best to drive off immediately after
starting the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Regular ser vicing
Regular servicing can establish a basis for good
fuel economy before you start driving. A well
serviced engine gives you the benefit of im
proved fuel efficiency as well as maximum relia
bility and an enhanced resale value.
A poorly maintained engine can consume up to
ten percent more fuel than necessary.
Check the oil level when filling the tank. Oil con
su mption depends to a great extent on the en
gine load and engine speed. It is quite normal
that the oil consumption of a new engine only
reaches its lowest level after a certain mileage.
This means that the oil consumption can only be
properly assessed after about 5,000 km. Depend
ing on your personal driving style, oil consump
tion can be up to 0.5 Ltr./1,000 km.
Avoid short trips
The engine and emission control system need to
reach their proper working temperature in order
to minimise fuel consumption and emissions . Driving
A cold engine uses disproportionately more fuel.
The engine only reaches its working temperature
after about four kilometres, when fuel consump
tion will return to a normal level.
Check tyre pressures
Always make sure the tyres are inflated to the
correct tyre pressures to save fuel. If the tyre
pressures are just 0.5 bar too Low, this can in
crease the fuel consumption by as much as 5 %.
Due to the greater rolling resistance, under-infla
tion also increases tyre wear and impairs han
dling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all through the year; they
will increase fuel consumption by up to 10 %.
Avoid carrying unnecessary loads
Every kilo of extra weight will increase the fuel
consumption, so it is worth checking the Luggage
compartment occasionally to make sure that no
unnecessary Loads are being transported.
Save electrical energy
The engine drives the alternator to generate elec
tricity. This means that fuel consumption rises
when more power is required for electrical equip
ment. Switch off electrical equipment when it is
not needed. Electrical equipment which uses a
Lot of electricity includes the blower (at a high
setting), the rear window heating and the seat
heating*.

technology
The effectiveness of the brakes can also be tem
porarily reduced if the car is driven for some dis
tance without using the brakes when there is a
lot of salt on the road in winter. The layer of salt
that accumulates on the discs and pads can be re
moved with a few cautious brake applications.
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 corro
sion has formed on the discs, it is advisable to
clean off the pads and discs 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 qualified workshop and have the fault
rectified. On the way to the dealer, be prepared
to use more pressure on the brake pedal and al
low for longer stopping 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. It only works when the engine
is running.
& WARNING
- When applying the brakes to clean off de
posits on the pads and discs, select a clear,
dry road. Be sure not to inconvenience or en
danger other road users; do not risk an acci
dent.
- Never let the car coast with the engine
switched off (this can cause accidents).
102 CD
CAUTION
- Never let the brakes "drag" by leaving your
foot on the pedal when you do not really in
tend to brake. This overheats the brakes, re
sulting in longer stopping distances and
greater wear.
- Before driving down a long, steep gradient,
it is advisable to reduce speed and move the
selector lever to a lower gear. In this way
you will make use of the engine braking ef
fect and relieve the load on the brakes. If
you still have to use the brakes, it is better
to brake firmly at intervals than to apply the
brakes continuously.
Note
- If the brake servo is out of action, you must
apply considerably more pressure to the
brake pedal than you normally would.
- If you wish to equip the car with accessories
such as a front spoiler or wheel covers, it is
important that the flow of air to the front
wheels is not obstructed, otherwise the
brakes can overheat.
Electronic stabilisation
control (ESC)
Description
The electronic stabilisation control (ES() increa
ses the car's stability. It reduces the tendency to
skid and improves the stability and road holding
of the vehicle. The ESC detects critical handling
situations, such as understeer, oversteer and
wheelspin on the driven wheels. It stabilises the
vehicle by braking individual wheels or by reduc
ing the engine torque. The indicator lamp Ii] in
the instrument cluster starts flashing as soon as
the ESC intervenes.
The following systems are integrated in the ESC:
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
ABS prevents the wheels from locking up under
braking until the vehicle has reached a virtual
standstill. You can continue to steer the vehicle
even when the brakes are on full. Keep your foot

and topping up fluids
- Inspection or oil change reminder: After acer
tain mileage, a service reminder will appear on
the infotainment display each time the ignition
is switched on/off¢ Fig. 218. The distance or
time remaining will be shown briefly.
- Inspection or oil change due: When your vehi
cle is due for an inspection, oil change or both,
the corresponding reminder Inspection due!,
Oil change due! or Oil change and inspection
due! will appear briefly after you switch the ig
nition on/off.
Checking the service intervals
You can look up the distance and time remaining
until the next oil change and next service inspec
tion. Select the following on the infotainment
system: I MENU I button > Car > left control button
> Se rvicing & checks > Service intervals. You can
not check the service interval for the first 500 km
or so after resetting the display or when your ve
hicle is new.
CD CAUTION
- Keeping to the correct service intervals is
most important for the service life and re
sidual value of the vehicle (and especially
for the life of the engine). Services must al
ways be carried out promptly, even if the
mileage is low.
- The time until the next oil change is not
counted down if the battery is disconnec
ted. If your vehicle is out of service for an
extended period, please refer to the Service
Schedule for details of the next service
date.
