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.

tion.

umn until the catch engages.

WARNING
- Never adjust the position of the steering
wheel when the vehicle is moving - this
could cause an accident.
- Press the lever upwards so it is secure and
so that the position of the steering wheel
cannot shift unexpectedly while the vehicle
is moving -risk of accident!

A WARNING
When extending or retracting the rear spoiler,
please make sure that no persons or objects
are close to the moving spoiler -risk of injury!
CD CAUTION
- If you need to push the vehicle, never put
your weight on the rear spoiler -Risk of
damage!
- To avoid damage to the rear spoiler, you
should not lean on it or apply any other type
of pressure.
- Do not operate the rear spoiler manually
when the boot lid is open or any moving
parts of the automatic rear spoiler are ob
structed -risk of damage!
Note
Clean the rear spoiler housing every 2 to 3
months. The rear spoiler housing must be
free of ice, snow and leaves in order to oper
ate correctly.
Power management
This system helps to ensure reliable
starting
The power management controls the distribu
tion of electrical energy and thus helps to ensure
that there is always enough power available to
start the engine.
If a vehicle with a conventional electrical system
is left parked for a long time, the vehicle battery
will gradually lose its charge because certain
electrical equipment (such as the immobiliser)
continues to draw current even when the ignition
is off. In some cases there may not be enough
power available to start the engine.
Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent pow
er management system to control the distribu
tion of electrical energy. This significantly im
proves reliability when starting the engine, and
also prolongs the life of the vehicle battery.
The main functions incorporated in the power
management system are battery diagnosis, re-
118 sidual
current management and dynamic power
management.
Battery diagnosis
The battery diagnosis function constantly regis
ters the condition of the vehicle battery. Sensors
detect the battery voltage, battery current and
battery temperature. This enables the system to
calculate the current power level and charge con
dition of the vehicle battery.
Residu al current management
The residual current management reduces power
consumption while the vehicle is parked. It con
trols the supply of power to the various electrical
components while the ignition is switched off.
The system takes the battery diagnosis data into
consideration.
Depending on the power level of the vehicle bat
tery, the individual electrical components are
switched off one after the other to prevent the
vehicle battery from losing too much charge and
to ensure that the engine can be started reliably.
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being
generated, and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
.
1 Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp ri'.J ¢ page 15 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Points to remember
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicle battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is

incorrect sitting positions which can be danger
ous to all occupants. The list is not complete, but
will help to make you aware of possible dangers
which can be avoided.
Therefore, whenever the vehicle is moving:
- Never stand up in the vehicle.
- Never stand on the seats.
- Never kneel on the seats.
- Never travel with the backrest reclined too far.
- Never lean against the dash panel.
- Never sit on the
front
edge of a seat.
- Never sit sideways.
- Never lean out of the window.
- Never put your feet out of the window.
- Never put your feet on the dash panel.
- Never put your feet on the seat cushion.
- Never ride in the footwell.
- Never travel on a seat without wearing the seat
belt.
- Never climb into the luggage compartment.
A WARNING
Sitting out of position increases the risk of se
vere injuries.
- Sitting out of position exposes the occu
pants to potentially fatal injuries if, for in
stance, the airbags inflate and strike an oc
cupant who is not seated in one of the prop
er positions.
- Before starting a trip, sit in the correct posi
tion and stay in this position as long as the
vehicle is moving. Make sure your passen
gers are also sitting in the proper positions
and ensure that they remain correctly seat
ed at all times ¢ page 54, Front seats.
Child seats
Safety notes for using child seats
To reduce the risk of injury in the event of an ac
cident, children must always use child restraint
systems when travelling in the car.
� Please note the information in this Owner's Man-
,.....
� ual when installing and using child seats. Follow
,..... Safe
driving
the manufacturer's instructions and observe any
statutory requirements.
If you use a child seat on the passenger's seat, it
is most important to note the warnings ¢.&..
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children trav
elling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.50 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicle if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are
travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal
injuries
to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position ¢ page 232. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the passenger's seat
and the airbag system is triggered in an ac
cident. This incorrect sitting position can re
sult in serious or even fatal injury.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance in
front of the child sitting in the child seat. If
necessary, adjust the seat position and
backrest angle of the seat in front of the
child seat.
