Economical driving
Driving economically means driving smoothly
while thinking ahead and adjusting your driving
style and speed to the prevailing conditions.
For more advice on reducing environmental
impact. see page 12.
Get the engine warmed up as soon as pos-
sible.
Do not let the engine idle, but drive at light
loads as soon as it is possible.
A cold engine consumes more fuel than a
warm one.
Avoid braking too hard.
Do not drive with unnecessary loads in the
car.
Do not use winter tyres when the roads are
dry.
Remove load carriers when they are not
being used.
Avoid driving with open windows.
Slippery driving conditions
Practise driving on slippery surfaces under
controlled conditions to learn how the car
reacts.
Engine and cooling system
Under special conditions, for example when
driving in hilly terrain, extreme heat or with
heavy loads, there is a risk that the engine and
cooling system will overheat.
Avoid overheating the cooling system
Maintain a low speed when driving with a
trailer up long, steep ascents.
Do not turn the engine off immediately you
stop after a hard drive.
Remove any auxiliary lamps from in front
of the grille if driving in extreme high tem-
peratures.
Avoid overheating the engine
Do not exceed engine speeds of 4500 rpm
(diesel engines: 3500 rpm) if driving with a
trailer or caravan in hilly terrain. The oil tem-
perature could then become too high.
Open boot lid
Avoid driving with the boot lid open. If it is nec-
essary to drive with the tailgate open for a short
distance:
1. Close all windows.
2. Set the air distribution to the windscreen
and floor and run the fan at high speed.
WARNING
Do not drive with the boot lid open. Toxic
exhaust fumes can be drawn into the car
through the cargo area.
Driving in water
The car can be driven through water at a maxi-
mum depth of 25 cm at a maximum speed of
10 km/h. Extra caution should be exercised
when passing through flowing water.
IMPORTANT
Engine damage can occur if water enters
the air filter.
In greater depths, water can enter the trans-
mission. This reduces the lubricating ability
of the oils and shortens the service life of the
systems.
