Operation
Headlight wash/wipe system
The headlight w ashers/wipers cl
ean the
headlight l
enses.
After the ignition is switched on, the first and
every fifth time the windscreen washer is
switched on, the headlights are also washed.
Therefore, the windscreen wiper lever should
be pulled towards the steering wheel when
the dipped beam or main beam are on. Any
encrusted dirt (such as insects) should be
cleaned regularly (e.g. when refuelling).
To ensure the headlight washers work cor-
rectly in winter, any snow which has got into
the bumper jet supports should be cleaned
away. If necessary, remove snow with an an-
ti-icing spray. Note
The wiper will try to wipe away any obsta-
cles that ar e on the windscr

een. The wiper
will stop moving if the obstacle blocks its
path. Remove the obstacle and switch the
wiper back on again. Rain sensor*

Start and driving
Think ahead and “flow” with the traffic
Fr equent accel
er
ation and braking consider-
ably increase fuel consumption. If you think
ahead as you drive and keep a safe distance
from the vehicle in front, it is possible to slow
down by simply lifting your foot off the accel-
erator. This eliminates the need for constant
braking and acceleration.
Calm and steady driving
A constant driving style is more important
than speed: a constant driving style will entail
lower fuel consumption.
When driving on the motorway, it is more effi-
cient to drive at a constant and more moder-
ate speed than to be continuously accelerat-
ing and braking. As a general rule, you will
reach your destination just as quickly when
you drive at a constant speed.
The cruise control function helps you to ach-
ieve a constant style of driving.
Moderate use of additional devices
It is important to travel in comfort, but con-
venience systems should be used ecological-
ly.
Some equipment, when connected, increase
fuel consumption considerably, for example:

Driving
Remove any unnecessary objects or loads
fr om the v
ehicl
e.
Remove optional equipment and unneces-
sary accessories
The more aerodynamic the vehicle, the lower
the fuel consumption. Optional equipment
and accessories (such as roof racks or bike
carriers) reduce the aerodynamic benefits of
the vehicle.
Therefore, we recommend you remove all op-
tional and unnecessary equipment and
racks, especially if you intend to drive at high
speeds.
Other factors which increase fuel con-
sumption (examples):
