Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in rev­
olutions per minute (RPM) .
The beginning of the red zone in the tachometer
indicates the maximum permissible engine speed
for all gears once the engine has been broken in
and when it is warm. Before reaching the red
zone, you should shift into the next higher gear,
choose the Dor S selector lever position, or re­
move your foot from the accelerator pedal.
@ Note
The needle in the tachometer may only be in
the red area of the gauge for a short per iod of
time or there is a risk of damaging the engine .
The location where the red zone begins varies
depending on the engine.
@) For the sake of the environment
Upshifting early helps you to save fuel and re­
duce operating noise.

til it is switched off. If you continue driving with·
in two hours after switching the ignition off, the
new values are included when calculating the cur­

memory is not erased automatically. You can se­
lect the time period for evaluating trip informa­
tion yourself .
Fuel consumption
The current fuel consumption can be shown us­

s traints will be deactiv ated automatically when
t he belt is wound all the way back into the re­
tractor.
" Press the red button on the safety belt buckle.
T he belt tongue will pop o ut of the buckle .
" Guide the safety belt a ll the way back into its
stowed position.
Always let the safety belt retract complete ly into
its stowed position . T he safety belt can now be
used as an o rdinary safety be lt without the con ­
vertible locking retractor for child restra ints .
If the convert ible lock ing retractor should be ac­
tivated inadve rten tly, the safe ty belt must be un­
fastened and guided completely back into its
stowed position to deactivate this feature . If the
convertible locking retractor is not deactivated,
the safety belt w ill gradually become tighter and
uncomfortable to wear.
A WARNING
-
Improperly installed child safety seats in ­
crease the risk of serious personal injury and
death in a collision.
- Never unfasten the safety belt to deactivate
the convert ible locking retractor for child re­
st raints while the vehicle is moving. You
would not be restrained and co uld be seri­
o usly injured in an accident.

Child safety
LATCH system (lower
anchorages and tethers
for children)
Child Restraint System anchors and how
are they related to child safety
To p rovide a s imp ler and more practicab le way to
attach the ch ild rest raint o n the vehicle seat,
Federal regulations require spec ial lower ancho­
rages in vehicles and devices on new ch ild re ­
straints to attach to the vehicle anchorages.
T he combinatio n of t he tether anchorages and
t h e lowe r anchorages is now generally called the
LATCH system for " Lower Anchorages and
T ethers for C hild ren." In Canada, the terms "top
tethe r" with "lower universal anchorages" (or
"lower universa l anchorage bars") are used to de­
scribe the system.
Forward-facing chi ld restrain ts manufactured af ­
ter September
1, 1999, are required by U.S. fed ­
era l reg ulations to comply with new child head
movement performance requ irements. These
new performance requ irements make a tether
necessary on most new child seats .
Installing a ch ild restraint that requires a top
tether without one can seriously impair the per­
formance of the ch ild restraint and its ab ility to
protect the child in a collision . Installing a child
restra int that requires a top tether without the
top tether may be a violat ion of state law.
Child restra int manufacturers offer LATCH lower
anchorages on their child seats w ith hook -on or
push-on connecto rs attached to adjustable
straps .
In add ition to the LATCH lower anchorages, these
child restraint systems usually requ ire the use of
tethe r straps to help keep the child restra int
firmly in p lace .
A WARNING
Imp roper installation of child restra ints w ill
i nc rease the risk of injury and dea th in a
crash.
