Driving hints
The first 600 mil es (1000 k m)
Drive your vehicle at v arious speeds.
Do not use full throttle. Never allow the
engine to labour at low revs.
Make good use of all gea rs.
Dep ress the acc elerator pedal a maxim um
of approx. three quarters of the av ailable
pedal travel in all gears.
Do not drive faster than three quarters of
max imum speed.
Do not brake unnecessarily hard for the
first 125 miles (200 km ).
Never coa st with engine not running
Many units will not function in this situation
(e. g. brak e serv o unit, Elec tric Power
Steering (EPS ) 3). Driving in this manner is
a d ang er to y ourself and others.
Brak e servo unit
When the engine is not running, the brake
servo unit is no longer effective once the
footb rake has been depressed onc e or
twice. Braking effect is not reduced, b ut
significantly greater force is required for
braking.
Driving an d Operation
O verrun
The fuel supply is autom atically shut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle is
being driven down long gradients or when
braking. To enable the overrun cut-off to
take effect, do not acc elerate during
overrun and on m anual vehicles, do not
release the clutc h. To prev ent dam age to
the c atalytic converter, overrun cut-off is
tem porarily deactivated when the catalytic
converter tem perature is high.
Vehicles with turbocharged engine:
Flow -g enerated noises may be aud ible if
the a ccelerator is released quickly, on
account of airflow in the turbocharger.
Eng ine sp eed
Drive in a low engine speed range for each
gear as much as possible.
Warmi ng up
Allow the engine to warm up while driving.
Do not w arm it up by letting it run at idling
speed. Do not app ly full throttle until the
engine has reached operating
tem perature.
After a cold sta rt, the Easytronic 3 does
not sw itc h to higher gea rs until the speed
increases when it is in Automatic mode.
This a llows the catalytic c onverter to
quickly reach the temp erature that is
req uired for optimum emission reduction.
139
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 climb ing.
Pedals
Do not place any ob jects in the footwell
which could slip under the ped als and
inhibit the pedal trav el.
140
Warm ing up
z Full throttle and w arming up at idle
speed increase w ear, fuel consumption,
ex haust em ission, the am ount of
pollutant in the exhaust and the am ount
of noise.
z Driv e off imm ediately after starting.
Wa rm up the engine b y running it at
moderate eng ine speeds.
Uniform speed
z Hectic driving significantly increases fuel
consumption, the ex haust emissions, the
proportion of pollutant in the exhaust
gas and the noise level.
z Do not accelerate a nd brake
unnecessarily . Drive at uniform speed,
watching the road.
Avoid freq uent starting-off and stopping
e.g . at traffic lights, in short distance
tra ffic and in queues of traffic by m eans
of clever planning . Select road s w ith
good traffic flow .
I dling
z The eng ine also consumes fuel when
idling .
z If you have to wait for more than one
minute, it is worthwhile switching off the
engine. Fiv e m inutes of idling
corresponds to ap prox imately 0.6 miles
(one kilometre) of driving.
Driving an d Operation
O verrun
z The fuel supply is automatically shut off
during ov errun, e. g. when the vehicle is
being driven down long gradients or
when braking see page 139.
z To enable the overrun cut-off to come
into action and sav e fuel, do not
accelerate or d eclutch during overrun.
Corr ect gear sel ec tion
z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel
consumption.
z Do not race your engine. Avoid d riv ing at
high engine speeds.
Making use of the tachom eter helps to
save fuel. Drive in a low engine speed
ra nge for each gear as much a s possible
with uniform engine speeds. Drive as
often as possible in top gear, select the
next higher gear a s soon as possible,
and only chang e down when the engine
is no longer running perfectly smoothly .
High speed
z The higher the speed , the higher the
consumption and the noise level. At top
speed, you consume a great deal of fuel
and produce excessive noise and
exhaust em issions.
141
142
Fuel consumption
Fuel consump tion is determined und er
specific driv ing cond itions see page 212.
Special equipment increases the weight of
the v ehicle. As a result, they can increase
fuel consump tion and reduce the specified
max imum speed.
For the first few thousand m iles /
kilometres, friction between the engine and
transm ission com ponents is higher. This
increases fuel consumption.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Normal c om mercial high-quality fuels with
a m aximum ethanol content of 5% in
accordance with DIN EN 228 are suitable
(for catalytic converter see pag e 145, for
octane numbers see page 208). The
quality thereof has considerable effect on
the p erformance, running and serv ice life
of the engine. The additives mix ed with the
fuel are extremely im portant. For this
rea son you must only refuel with highquality fuels containing additives.

avoid inhaling the fumes.
Di esel pa rticle filt er 3
The diesel particle filter sy stem filters
ha rm ful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases.
The system c ontains a self-cleaning
function at set interv als. The filter is
cleaned by burning the soot pa rticles at
high temperature. This process is
autom atic in certain driv ing conditions and
can take up to 25 m inutes. During this time,

Park ing dista nc e sensors 3
Parking distance sensors make rev erse
parking easier by measuring the distance
between the rear of the vehicle a nd an
obstacle throug h ultrasonic reflection, and
by warning you with an acoustic signal in
the p assenger compartment.
Towing equipment,
carav an / tra iler towing:
If a towing dev ice is sub sequently fitted to

acoustic signal is audible in the passenger
compartment when the vehicle tail is less
than one m etre from the obstacle. The
interval between the signals becomes
shorter as the distance is reduced. If the
distance is less than 30 c m, a continuous
signa l is aud ible.
153
9 Warning
Fault:
O n sy stem faults, a permanent tone

Brake system
The effectiveness of the brakes is a n
important factor for traffic safety.
To improve effectiveness, do not b ra ke
unnecessarily hard for the first 125 miles
(200 km) after new brake pads have been
fitted.
Brake pad wear must not exceed a
specified limit. Regular maintenance as
detailed in the Service Book let is therefore
of the utm ost importance for traffic safety.
Brak e assi st
If the footbrake is operated with a powerful
push, the v ehicle is a utomatica lly braked
at full brak ing power in order to achiev e
the shortest possible braking distance
when full-on braking occurs (braking
assistant).
Maintain steady pressure on the footbrake
for a s long as full-on braking is to continue.
When the footbrake is released, the
ma ximum brak e force amplification is
taken away .
Ad aptiv e brake li ghts 3
During full-on brak ing, all three brake
lights flash for the dura tion of ABS control.
Driving an d Operation
Footbrak e
The footbrake comprises tw o independent
brake circuits.
If one brake circuit fa ults, the vehicle can
still be b ra ked with the other b ra ke c ircuit.
However the braking effect will occ ur a t a
lower pedal position and consid erably
more force is required. The braking
distance is longer. Contact a w ork shop
before continuing to drive.
To ensure that full pedal travel can be
utilized, espec ia lly in case of a fa ult in one
of the brak e circuits, there must b e no mats
in the vicinity of the pedals see page 139.
When the engine is not running, the
assistance of the brake servo unit
disappears once the footbrake has been
depressed once or twice. Braking effect is
not reduced, b ut b ra king requires
significantly greater force. This is especially
important to bear in mind when towing.
Check the brake lights b efore starting out
on a journey.

Driving an d Operation
The p ermissible carav an / trailer load
should b e fully utilised only b y drivers who
are adequa tely experienced in towing
large or heavy carav ans / trailers.
The p ermitted caravan / trailer loa d
applies up to the specified incline and up to
an altitude of 1000 metres above sea-level.
Since engine power decreases as altitude
increases because of the air becom ing
thinner, therefore reducing climbing ability,
the p ermitted towing weig ht a lso
decreases by 10% for every 1000 m etres of
additional altitude. The towing weight
does not have to be reduced when driv ing
on roads with slight inclines (less than 8%,
e.g. m otorway s).
The a ctual caravan / trailer load plus the
actual gross weight of the tow ing vehicle
must not exc eed the m aximum p ermitted
towing weight. For exam ple, if the
permitted Gross Vehic le Weight is utilised,
the caravan / trailer load must only be used
until the max imum permitted towing
weight is reached. The m aximum

nationa l environmental regulations,
particularly when washing it.
Regula r, thorough care helps to imp rov e
the a ppearance of your vehicle and
maintain its value ov er the years. It is also
a p rerequisite for warranty claims for any
paint or corrosion dam age.
The following pages conta in tips for vehicle
care which, if used properly, w ill help
combat the unav oida ble damaging effec ts
of the environm ent.
Vehicle ca re a ids 3
Vehicle wash:
z Wash brush,
z C ar Shampoo,
z C ar Sponges,
z Insect Removal Sponge,
z C ham ois Lea ther,
z Wheel cleaners,
z Engine clea ners,
z Glass cleaners.
Vehicle care:
z Paintwork Cleaner,
z Paintwork Polish,
z Metallic Paintw ork Wax,
z Hard wax,
z Touch-up pens,
z Touch-U p / Aerosol Paint,
z Wheel Preserver,
z Insect Remover,
z Window Cleaning Spray ,

z Rust Preventa tiv e.
Washing
The paintwork of your vehicle is exposed to
env ironmental influenc es, e.g. c ontinuous
changes in w eather conditions, industrial
waste gases and dust or thawing salts, so
wash a nd wax your vehicle regularly . When
using autom atic car wa shes, select a
programm e w hich includes w axing.
Bird d ropp ings, dead insec ts, resin, pollen
and the like should be cleaned off
imm ediately, a s they contain aggressive
constituents which can ca use paint
dam age.
If using a car wash, comply with the
pertinent instructions of the manufacturer
of the car wash. Windscreen wiper and rear
window w ip er must be switc hed off, see
pag es 11 and 12. Unscrew antenna 3 and
roof-mounted luggage carrier 3, stand on
door sill to reach them more ea sily.
If y ou wash your vehicle by hand, make
sure that the insides of the wings are also
thoroughly rinsed out.
C lean edges and folds on opened doors
and flaps as well as the a reas they cover.
Thoroughly rinse off a nd leather-off the
vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
sepa ra te leathers for paint and window
surfac es: rem nants of wax on the windows
will im pair vision.
O bserve national regulations.
Wheels
Use a p H-neutral wheel clea ning a gent to
clean the wheels.
Wheels are painted a nd can be treated
with the sam e agents as the body . For a lloy
wheels, w e recommend use of Alloy Wheel
Preserver.
Pa intwork dam age
Repair m inor p aintwork damage such as
stone chips, scratches etc. im mediately
using a touch-up pen or spray, before rust
forms. I f rust has alread y formed, have a
work shop eliminate the cause. Also check
the surfaces and edges facing the roa d
surface on which rust m ay have d eveloped
unnoticed for some time.
203
Exterior lights
Headlight and other protectiv e light bezels
are made of plastic. If they require
add itional cleaning after the vehicle has
been wa shed , clean them w ith C ar
S ham poo. Do not use any a brasiv e or
caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper,
and d o not clean them dry.
Plastic and rubb er parts
If the car wash does not clean plastic and
rubber parts adeq ua tely, use cleaner
suita ble for vehicle interiors. Do not use any
other a gent, and in particular do not use
solvents or petrol.
Wheels a nd tyr es
Do not use high-pressure jet c leaners on
wheels and tyres.
204
Seat belts
Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry.
Wi nd ows
When cleaning the heated rear w indow,
make sure that the hea ting element on the
inside of the window is not dama ged.
Underbody
Your vehicle has a factory-app lied PVC
undercoating in the wheel arches
(including the longitudinal mem bers) which
prov ides permanent protec tion and needs
no special maintenance. The surfaces of
the vehicle underbody not covered by PVC
are provided with a durable p rotective wax
coating in critic al areas.
On vehicles which are washed frequently in
autom atic car washes with underbody
washing facility, the protective wax
coating may b e impaired by d irt-dissolv ing
additives, so check the underbody after
washing and ha ve it waxed if necessary .
Before the start of the cold weather season,
check the PVC c oa ting a nd protective wax
coating and, if necessary , have them
restored to perfect condition.
