Driv in g hints 12 3
Driving in mountainous terrain or
with a caravan / trailer
Electrically driven fan: The fan cooling
capacity is not dependent on engine
speed. It is not necessary, therefore, when
driving uphill to shift down into a lower
gear if the vehicle can climb in a higher
gear.
Driving in extreme conditions
When driving in hazardous conditions, e.g.
in snow, ice, mud, sand or w ater, d rive
slowly and cautiously to allow for greater
braking distances.
Avoid sudden manoeuvres when steering,
braking and accelerating. When braking,
depress footbrake pedal lightly in a repeat
pattern to stop the vehicle, unless
equipped with ABS - see page 146.
If stuck, use 2nd gear (automatic
tr a n sm is s ion in dr iv e r an ge 2) to avoid
spinning the front wheels.
Use sand, tyre chains or other non-slip
materials to provide traction when stuck in
snow, mud or ice.
Driv in g thro ugh water
Before attempting to drive through water,
check the depth. If the depth is slightly
lower than the underbody of your vehicle,
do not attempt to drive through it.
Driving too quickly through water can
cause water to enter the engine through
the air intake, causing severe damage.
Drive slowly, in a high engine rpm in as low
a gear as possible.
Driving with a roof load
Do not exceed the permissible roof load.
For safety reasons, distribute the load
evenly and secure it tightly with straps so
that it cannot slip. Set the tyre inflation
pressure to the value given for full load. Do
not d riv e faster than 75 mph (120 km/h).
Check and retighten straps at frequent
intervals.
Sw itch ing off the engine
If the engine temperature is very high, e.g.
after driving in mountainous terrain: allow
engine to idle for approx. two minutes in
order to prevent heat accumulation.
When you switch off, fans in the engine
compartment may continue running for a
time to cool the engine.
Vehicles with turbocharger
After running at high eng ine speeds or high
engine loads, 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.
Sa ve en erg y more miles
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 supp ly is automatically shut-off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
being driven down long gradie nts or during
braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to
come into action, do not accelerate or
declutch during overrun.
