Operation
In order to ensure continuously
efficient performance, cooling must
be operated for a few minutes once
a month, irrespective of the weather
and time of year. Operation with
cooling is not possible when the
outside temperature is too low.
Service
For optimal cooling performance, it
is recommended to annually check
the climate control system.

Driving and Operating 145
Manual Gearbox
To engage reverse, depress the
clutch pedal and then engage the
reverse gear.If the gear does not engage, set the
lever to neutral, release the clutch
pedal and depress again; then
repeat gear selection.
Do not slip the clutch unnecessarily.
When operating, depress the clutch
pedal completely. Do not use the
pedal as a foot rest.
Caution
It is not advisable to drive with the
hand resting on the selector lever.
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle
can still be braked using the other
brake circuit. However, braking
effect is achieved only when the
brake pedal is depressed firmly.
Considerably more force is needed
for this. The braking distance is
extended. Seek the assistance of a
workshop before continuing your
journey.
When the engine is not running, the
support of the brake servo unit
disappears once the brake pedal
has been depressed once or twice.
Braking effect is not reduced, but
braking requires significantly greater
force. It is especially important to
bear this in mind when being towed.

Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)
prevents the wheels from locking.
ABS starts to regulate brake
pressure as soon as a wheel shows
a tendency to lock. The vehicle
remains steerable, even during hard
braking.
ABS control is made apparent
through a pulse in the brake pedal
and the noise of the regulation
process.
For optimum braking, keep the
brake pedal fully depressed
throughout the braking process,
despite the fact that the pedal is
pulsating. Do not reduce the
pressure on the pedal.
After starting off, the system
performs a self-test which may be
audible.

Light 071.
Adaptive brake light
During full braking, all three brake
lights flash for the duration of ABS
control.
Fault
{Warning
If there is a fault in the ABS, the
wheels may be liable to lock due
to braking that is heavier than
normal. The advantages of ABS
are no longer available. During
hard braking, the vehicle can no
longer be steered and may
swerve.
Have the cause of the fault
remedied by a workshop.
Parking Brake
{Warning
Always apply parking brake firmly
without operating the release
button, and apply as firmly as
possible on a downhill or uphill
slope.
To release the parking brake, pull
the lever up slightly, press the
release button and fully lower the
lever. (Continued)
