Sw itching off t he engine
If the engine temperature is very high, e.g.
after driving in mountainous terrain: allow
engine to idle for approx. 2 minutes, in
order to prevent heat accum ulation.
When you switch off, fans in the engine
compartment may continue running for a
time, to cool the engine.
Vehi cles w ith turb ocharger 3
After running at high engine speeds or high
engine loa ds, operate the engine briefly at
a low load or run in neutral for approx.
30 seconds before switching off, in order to
protect the turbocharger.
Sav e energy – more miles / kilometres
Please observe the running-in hints on the
previous page and the tips for energy
saving on the following pages.
Good, technically correct and economical
driving ensures maximum durability and
performance for your vehicle.
Overrun
The fuel supply is autom atically shut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
being driven down long gradients or during
braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to
come into action, do not accelerate or
declutch during overrun.
Engine rpm
Und er all driving conditions, drive in a
favourab le engine speed range.
Wa rming up
Allow engine to warm up while driving. Do
not warm it up by letting it run at idling
speed. Do not apply full throttle until
engine reaches operating temperature.
After a cold start, automatic
transmission 3 does not shift into higher
gears until higher engine speeds have been
reached . This allows the catalytic converter
to quickly reach the temperature required
for optimum pollutant reduction.
Correct gear selection
Do not race your engine whilst in neutral or
with a low gear selected. Driving too fast in
individual gea rs or drive ranges as well as
stop-and-go traffic increa se engine wear
and fuel consum ption.
Change dow n
When decreasing speed, shift down into
the next lowest gear. Do not slip the clutch
with a high-revving engine. This is
especially important when hill climbing.
Clutch operation 3
Always depress the clutch pedal hard to
the floor, to prev ent shifting difficultie s and
transmission damage. There must be no
ma ts in the area of the pedals.
When driving, do not use the clutch pedal
as a footrest; this will cause substantial
clutch wear.
Pedals
Do not place any objects in the footwell
which could slip under the pedals and
inhibit the pedal travel.
To ensure the pedal travel is uninhibited,
there must be no mats in the area of the
pedals.
When driving, do not use the b ra ke pedal
as a footrest; this will cause substantial
wear to brake components and cause
overheating, resulting in longer braking
distances.
Bat tery ca re w hilst dri ving
When driving slowly or when the vehicle
is stationary, e.g. in slow urban traffic,
stop-and-go traffic or traffic jams, turn off
all unnecessary electrical loads where
possible (e.g. heated rear window,
auxiliary headlights).
When starting the engine, depress the
clutch pedal so that transmission
resistance is elimina ted and the starter
motor and battery are relieved.
