- In the summer, adjust the temperature to just
a few degrees below the outside temperature
- Do not turn the blower up too high
- Do not point the air outlets directly at the occu-
pants
� Adjusting the blower speed
The rotary control (D can be used to adjust the
blower speed in small steps. You should leave
the blower on at a low setting to prevent the win­
dows from misting up and to ensure that the ve­
hicle interior is constantly ventilated. To demist

Switching air cooling* on/off
The air cooling system only works when the blow­
er is switched on. When the air cooling is switch­
ed off, the air is neither cooled nor dehumidified.
The windows may mist up as a result. The air
cooling is switched off automatically at low out­
side temperatures.

Switching rear window heating on/
off
If the rear window heating is activated with the
ignition switched on, the battery management
determines whether or not the battery charge
level is sufficient for the rear window heating to
be switched on. Otherwise the rear window heat­
ing operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
10 -20 minutes, depending on the outside tem­
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating perma­
nently, press and hold the !lliil REAR! button for at
least two seconds. This setting will be stored for
approximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not leave the
air recirculation switched on for too long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve­
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can
cause an accident.

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
permissible 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.
Letting the engine warm up/cool down
Applies to: Sand RS models
You can reduce the amount of wear and tear on
your vehicle during a sporty driving session sim­
ply by adopting a more restrained driving style
while the engine is warming up and cooling
down.
When the engine is cold, the engine speed is limi­
ted so that the full range of engine power is not
available. Once the engine has reached operating
temperature, the rev Limit moves to a higher
range of engine speeds. In addition, the tyres will
not develop their full grip potential until they
have had a chance to warm up on the road.
Even though the engine continues to be cooled
after you switch it off, it is particularly important
to give it time to cool down before parking. The
engine, brakes, exhaust system and gearbox will
66 all
reach very high temperatures when you adopt
a sporty driving style. Before you park the vehi­
cle, allow it to cool down to normal temperature
by driving at moderate engine speeds for several
miles.
Avoiding damage to the car
CD CAUTION
Take care not to damage low-mounted parts
of the car (such as the spoiler or exhaust sys­
tem) on steep ramps, uneven road surfaces or
roadside kerbs, etc. This applies especially to
vehicles with low ground clearance and to all
vehicles when fully laden.
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.
CD CAUTION
- Parts of the vehicle (e.g. engine, gearbox,
running gear or electrical components) can
be badly damaged when driving through
water.
- Always switch off the start/stop system*
¢ page 71 before driving through water.
i Note
- It is advisable to check the depth at the
deepest point before approaching the wa­
ter.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Driving
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*.
Steering Adjusting the steering wheel position
The height and reach of the steering wheel can
be adjusted as required to suit the driver.

stem.
A WARNING
Never run the engine in confined spaces. The
exhaust gases are toxic -risk of poisoning!
CD CAUTION
Avoid high engine speeds, full throttle and ex­
treme load conditions until the engine has
reached its normal operating temperature;
otherwise this can damage the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine by running it with
the car stationary. You should drive off imme­
diately whenever possible. This will help avoid
unnecessary exhaust emissions.

A WARNING
- Never switch off the engine until the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise you may not have
the full benefit of the brake servo and pow­
er steering. You may need more strength to
steer and brake the vehicle than you nor­
mally would. This would mean a greater risk
of accidents and serious injury, because you
cannot steer and brake in the normal man­
ner.
- Always take the key with you when you leave
the vehicle. Otherwise the engine can be
started or power-operated equipment such
as the electric windows can be used. This
could result in serious injury.

CD CAUTION
If the engine has been working hard for a long
time, there is a risk of heat building up in the
engine compartment after the engine has
been switched off; this could cause engine
damage. For this reason, you should leave the
engine idling for about 2 minutes before
switching it off.
{(D Note
After the engine is stopped, the radiator fan
may remain on or turn itself back on for up to
10 minutes, even if the ignition is switched
off. This may occur for the following reasons:
- Residual heat has raised the coolant tem-
perature.
- Direct sunlight has additionally heated up
the engine compartment while the engine is
warm.
-Applies to vehicles with diesel particulate
filter: The emission control system is hot
because of the regeneration process, even
though the engine has not yet reached oper­
ating temperature.
