Correct and safe

Introductory notes for correct use

▶

Read this Owner's Manual carefully, as proceeding

in accordance with this manual is a prerequisite for

the correct use of the vehicle. This Owner's Manual

should therefore always be in the vehicle.

▶

When using the vehicle, the generally binding legal

provisions that are speciﬁc to the country must be

observed. Such as those for transporting children,

switching o airbags, using tyres, road trac and

the like.

▶

Do not exceed the maximum permissible weights

and loads.

▶

Do not exceed the maximum permissible roof load.

▶

Use the speciﬁed fuel and operating ﬂuids.

▶

Drive on roads that meet the technical vehicle pa-

rameters. Obstacles that exceed the ground clear-

ance of the vehicle » page 172 can damage the ve-

hicle when driving over them.

▶

Care must be taken during operations related to

operation, maintenance and self-help to avoid

damage to the vehicle or injury. If required, seek

the help of a specialised garage.

▶

All work on the vehicle’s safety systems e.g. on the

seatbelts or the airbag system, may only be carried

out by a specialist garage.

▶

When using accessories, please note the instruc-

tions in the accessory manufacturer’s instruction

manual. These include child seats, roof racks, com-

pressors etc.

▶

Please note the service intervals.

New vehicle or new parts

New vehicle - Running in the engine

Driving style during the ﬁrst 1500 km determines the

quality of the engine run-in process.

▶

During the ﬁrst 1000 km, rev the engine to max.

3/4 of the highest permissible engine speed and

avoid using a trailer.

▶

Over the next 500 km, the engine speed can be

slowly increased.

Depending on driving style and operating conditions,

the engine consumes some oil, up to 0.5 l/1000 km.

Consumption may be higher over the next 5000 km.

New brake pads

New brake pads do not provide the optimum braking

eect during the ﬁrst 200 km, they have to be worn

in ﬁrst. Therefore, drive very carefully.

New tyres

New tyres do not have optimum grip for the ﬁrst

500 km. Therefore, drive very carefully.

Regular checks

What should be taken into account before driving?

A vehicle with technical defects can increase the risk

of accidents and injuries.

Eliminate any defects before driving. If required,

seek the help of a specialised garage.

Pay special attention to the following points.

▶

Is the tyre undamaged?

▶

Is the tyre tread sucient?

▶

Is the tyre pressure sucient?

▶

Do the headlamps, brake and turn signals work?

▶

Is the windscreen in good condition?

▶

Is the engine oil, brake ﬂuid and coolant level OK?

▶

Is the air intake in the engine compartment free

from obstruction?

▶

Are the air outlet nozzles or air intake in front of

the windscreen free from obstruction?

▶

Are the windscreen wiper and washer system and

windscreen wiper blades functional?

▶

Is the windscreen washer ﬂuid level sucient?

▶

Are the windscreen wiper blades in good condi-

tion?

▶

Are all seatbelt system components in good work-

ing order? Are the seatbelts clean and have the

buckles been unclogged?

▶

Is the spoiler working properly?

▶

Are parts and components of the vehicle still visi-

bly attached?

▶

Are there no oil stains or other operating ﬂuids un-

der the vehicle?

No improper vehicle adaptations

Improper changes and maintenance can cause mal-

functions and impair safety-related and other func-

tions of the vehicle.

▶

We recommend that adaptations, repairs and tech-

nical changes to the vehicle should only be carried

out by a specialist garage.

▶

Do not cover the engine with additional insulation

material e.g. with a cover.

Keep sensors and cameras functional

Some functions of your vehicle are supported by

sensors and cameras on the inside and outside of the

vehicle.

Accessories installed on the vehicle rear, such as bi-

cycle carriers, can impair the function of the systems

and cameras.

▶

Do not cover or paste the sensors and cameras and

keep them clean.
