Driving
pollutant emissions are also especially high
during this initial w arm-up phase
. It is ther
e-
fore best to drive off immediately after start-
ing the engine. Avoid running the engine at
high speed.
Periodic maintenance
Periodic maintenance work guarantees that,
before beginning a journey, you will not con-
sume more than the required amount of fuel.
A well-serviced engine gives you the benefit
of improved fuel efficiency as well as maxi-
mum reliability and an enhanced resale val-
ue.
A badly serviced engine can consume up to
10% more fuel than necessary.
Avoid short journeys
To reduce the consumption and emission of
polluting exhaust gases, the engine and the
exhaust gas filtration systems should reach
the optimum operating temperature.
With the engine cold, fuel consumption is pro-
portionally higher. The engine does not warm
up and fuel consumption does not normalise
until having driven approximately four kilome-
tres (2.5 miles). This is why we recommend
avoiding short trips whenever possible.
Maintain the correct tyre pressures
Bear in mind that keeping the tyres at an ade-
quate pressure saves fuel. If the tyre pressure is just one bar (14.5 psi/100 kPa) too low, fuel
consumption can increase by as much as 5%.
Due to the gr
eater rolling resistance, under-
inflation also increases tyre wear wear and
impairs handling.
The tyre pressures should always be checked
when the tyres are cold.
Do not use winter tyres all year round as
they increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.
Avoid unnecessary weight
Given that every kilo of extra weight will in-
crease the fuel consumption, it is advisable to
always check the luggage compartment to
make sure that no unnecessary loads are be-
ing transported.
A roof rack is often left in place for the sake of
convenience, even when it is no longer nee-
ded. At a speed of 100 km/h (62 mph) and
120 km/h (75 mph) your vehicle will use about
12% more fuel as a result of the extra wind re-
sistance caused by the roof rack even when it
is not in use.
Save electricity
The engine activates the alternator, which
produces electricity. With the need for elec-
tricity, fuel consumption also increases. Be-
cause of this, always turn off electrical devi-
ces when you do not need them. Examples of
devices that use a lot of electricity are: the fan at high speeds, the rear window heating
and the seat heaters*. Note
Driving
For the sake of the environment
Even when the emission control system is
working perf ectly, ther
e may be a smell of
sulphur from the exhaust gas under some
conditions. This depends on the sulphur
content of the fuel used. Quite often the
problem can be solved by changing to an-
other brand of fuel. Particulate filter
Applies to v
ehicl
es with diesel engine
The diesel engine particulate filter eliminates
most of the soot from the exhaust gas system.
Under normal driving conditions, the filter
cleans itself. The particulate filter is cleaned
automatically without need for indication by
the warning lamp . This may be noticed because the engine idle speed increases and
an odour may be detected.
If automatic filter purification cannot be car-
ried out (because only short trips are taken,
for example), soot will accumulate on the fil-
ter and the particulate filter warning lamp will
switch on.
Facilitate the automatic filter cleaning proc-
ess by driving in the following manner:
Checking and refilling levels
Diesel with biodiesel (“B” st ands f
or Bio-
diesel). The number indicates the per-
centage of biodiesel in the diesel. “B7”
means, for example, a proportion of bio-
diesel of max. 7%.
Natural gas: “CNG” means Compressed
Natural Gas.
Type of petrol Applies to vehicles: with petrol engine
The corr ect gr
ade of petrol is listed inside the
fuel tank flap.
The vehicle is equipped with a catalytic con-
verter and must only be run on unleaded
petrol. The petrol must comply with the
standard EN 228 and be sulphur-free. Fuels
with a 10% ethanol ratio can be refuelled
(E10) 1)
. The types of petrol are differentiated
by using the octane numbers (RON) or via
the anti-knock index (AKI).
The following pieces of text show the infor-
mation included in the corresponding stickers
on the tank lid (examples): 2 3 Super unleaded petrol 95 octane petrol or
normal 91 oct
ane petr
ol at l
east
We recommend refuelling with super 95 oc-
tane petrol (91 AKI). If not available: normal 91
octane petrol (87 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
Super unleaded petrol, 95 octanes at
least
You should use super 95 octane petrol (91
AKI) at least.
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble.
Unleaded super plus 98 octane petrol or
super 95 octane petrol at least
We recommend refuelling with super plus 98
octane petrol (93 AKI). If not available: super
95 octane petrol (91 AKI) (with a slight power
loss).
If super is not available, if necessary, use nor-
mal 91 octane petrol (87 AKI). In this case only
use moderate engine speeds and a light
throttle. Refuel with super as soon as possi-
ble. CAUTION

in addition t
o a fuel tank at 90% capacity.
From the difference between the total permit-
ted weight in running order the approximate
carrying capacity can be calculated
