Self-help
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
l arly
. If
the wipers scrape across the glass ,
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ››› .
If thi
s doe

s not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary. WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through al l

windows!
● Clean the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows
regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a y
ear. CAUTION
● Damaged or dir ty

windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or similar pr
oducts to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
● Never move any windscreen wiper by hand.
This cou
ld cause damage.
● To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
windsc
reen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position. Note
● The winds c

reen wiper arms can be moved
to the service position only when the bonnet
is properly closed.
● You can also use the service position, for
exampl
e, if you want to fix a cover over the
windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of
ice. Towing or tow-starting

Please observe the following points if you
use a tow rope:
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
– Move the vehicle slowly until the cable is
taut. Then ac

celerate gradually.
– Begin and change gears cautiously. If you
are driving an aut

omatic vehicle, accelerate
gently.
– Remember that the brake servo and power
steering ar

e not working in the vehicle you
are towing. Brake sooner than normal and
pressing the pedal gently. Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
– Ensure that the tow rope remains taut at all
times when to

wing.
Towing vehicles with an automatic gearbox
● Put the selector lever into position “N”.
● Do not drive faster than 50 km/h (31 mph).
● Do not tow further than 50 km.
● If a breakdown vehicle is used, the vehicle
must be t
owed with the front wheels raised. WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, the
brake light s, t

urn signals and all other lights
will no longer function. Do not have the vehi-
cle towed away. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident. WARNING
Vehicle handling and braking capacity
chan g

e considerably during towing. Please
observe the following instructions to mini-
mise the risk of serious accidents and injury:
● As the driver of the vehicle being towed:
– You should depr

ess the brake much hard-
er as the brake servo does not operate.
Pay the utmost attention to avoid crash-
ing into the towing vehicle.
– More strength is required at the steering
wheel as the power steering does not op-
erate when the engine is switched off. » 79

As the driver of the t
owing vehicle:
– Accelerate with particular care and cau-
tion.
– Avoid sudden braking and manoeuvres.
– Brake earlier than usual and more
smoothly. CAUTION
When tow-starting, fuel could enter the cata-
lytic conv

erter and damage it. Note
● Obser v

e legal requirements when towing or
tow-starting.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights of both
vehicle
s. However, observe any regulations
to the contrary.
● For technical reasons, vehicles with an au-
tomatic g
earbox must not be tow-started.
● If there is no lubricant in the gearbox as the
resu
lt of a fault, you must raise the driven
wheels while the vehicle is being towed.
● If the vehicle has to be towed more than
50 km (30 miles), the fr
ont wheels should be
raised during towing, and towing should be
carried out by a qualified person.
● The steering wheel is locked when the vehi-
cle ha
s no electrical power. The vehicle must
then be towed with the front wheels raised.

CAUTION
● To prev ent
damage to the engine, the rev
counter needle should only remain in the red
zone for a short period of time.
● When the engine is cold, avoid high revs
and heavy acc
eleration and do not make the
engine work hard. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear in time reduces fuel con-
sumption and noise. Rev counter
The rev counter indicates the number of en-
gine r

T og
ether w ith the g
ear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed.
The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum engine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al. We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that y

ou follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in ›››
 page 28, Gear-change
indicator. CAUTION
Never allow the rev counter needle 1 ›››
Fig. 121 to go int o the r
ed zone on the
scale for more than a very brief period, other-
wise there is a risk of engine damage. For the sake of the environment
Changing up a gear early will help you to save
fuel and minimi se emi

ssions and engine
noise. Indications on the display

● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice cr
ystal symbol”
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Different

are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps. 98

Lights and visibility
The instrument lighting (needles) is switched
on when the ignition i s
on and the light i
s
off. The instrument lighting is dimmed auto-
matically as the daylight starts to fade. It
goes out completely when ambient light is
very low. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam
headlights in good time when light condi-
tions become poor.
Headlight range control
By using the electrical headlight range con-
trol you can adjust the headlight range to the
load level that is being carried in the vehicle
››› Fig. 135. This way, it is possible to avoid
dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessa-
ry. At the same time, by using the correct
headlight settings, the driver has the best
possible lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when
the dipped beam is switched on. Turn the
wheel downwards to lower the headlight
beam from the basic setting 0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs (xenon
bulbs) are equipped with dynamic headlight
range control. When you switch on the lights,
their range regulates itself according to the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs do not
have headlight range control. Hazard warning lights

The hazard warning lights are used to draw
the attention of other road users to your vehi-
cle in emergencies.
If your vehicle breaks down:
1. Park your vehicle at a safe distance from moving tr
affic.
2. Press the button to switch on the hazard warning lights ›

›› .
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Apply the handbrake.
5. For a manual gearbox, engage 1st gear; for an aut
omatic

gearbox, move the gear
lever to P.
6. Use the warning triangle to draw the atten- tion of other roa
d users to your vehicle.
7. Always take the vehicle key with you when you leav
e the vehicle.
All turn signals flash simultaneously when
the hazard warning lights are switched on.
The two turn signal turn signal lamps  
and the turn signal lamp in the switch  will
flash at the same time. The simultaneous
hazard warning lights also work when the ig-
nition is switched off. WARNING
● The risk of an ac

cident increases if your ve-
hicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to draw
the attention of other road users to your sta-
tionary vehicle.
● Due to the high temperatures that the cata-
lytic conv
erter can reach, never park in an
area where the catalytic converter could come
into contact with highly inflammable materi-
als, for example dry grass or spilt petrol. This
could start a fire. Note
● The batter y

will run down if the hazard
warning lights are left on for a long time,
even if the ignition is switched off.

– Let go of the ignition key as soon as the en-
gine starts; the s

tarter motor must not run
on with the engine.
After starting a very hot engine, you may
need to slightly press down the accelerator.
When starting a cold engine, it may be a little
noisy for the first few seconds until oil pres-
sure has built up in the hydraulic valve com-
pensators. This is quite normal, and no cause
for concern.
If the engine does not start immediately,
switch the starter off after 10 seconds and try
again after half a minute. If the engine still
does not start, the fuel pump fuse should be
checked ›››
page 81, Fuses. WARNING
● Never st ar

t or run the engine in unventila-
ted or closed rooms. The exhaust gases con-
tain carbon monoxide, an odourless and col-
ourless poisonous gas. Risk of fatal acci-
dents. Carbon monoxide can cause loss of
consciousness and result in death.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended if the
engine is ru
nning.
● Never use “cold start sprays”, they could
explode or cau
se the engine to run at high
revs. Risk of injury. CAUTION
● When the engine is c

old, you should avoid
high engine speeds, driving at full throttle
and over-loading the engine. Risk of engine
damage.
● The vehicle should not be pushed or towed
more than 50 metre
s to start the engine. Un-
burnt fuel could enter the catalytic converter
and damage it.
● Before attempting to push-start or tow a ve-
hicle in order t
o start it, you should first try to
start it using the battery of another vehicle.
Please observe and follow the notes on the
›››  page 52, How to jump start. For the sake of the environment
