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 off airbags, using tyres, road traffic 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 parameters. Obstacles that exceed the ground clearance of the vehicle can damage the vehicle 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 vehicles and 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 instructions in the accessory manufacturer’s instruction manual. These include child seats, roof racks, compressors 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 effect 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 sufficient?
• Is the tyre pressure sufficient?
• 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 sufficient?
• 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 adjustments
Improper modifications can cause interference and affect safety-related functions and other functions of the vehicle.

• Adjustments and technical modifications to the ve-hicle should only be carried out by a specialist ga-rage.
• Do not cover the engine with additional insulation materials, e.g. a blanket.

Keeping sensors and cameras in working order
Some functions of your vehicle are supported by sensors and cameras inside and outside the vehicle.

The rear-mounted accessories, e.g. bike rack, may affect system and camera functionality.

• Do not cover or put a sticker over the sensors and cameras and keep them clean.
• If there is damage suspected to the sensors or cameras, seek the help of a specialist garage.

Safe driving

Introductory notes

• Pay attention when you are driving! As a driver, you are fully responsible for road safety.
• Always adjust driving speed to the road conditions as well as the traffic and weather conditions.

Paying attention to warning signals
The driver information system warns you with indi-cator lights and messages in the event of any faults.

Failure to follow the warnings may increase the risk of accidents and injuries.

• If the vehicle issues a warning signal, then park the vehicle safely and follow the information in the in-strument cluster, and in this manual.

Using assistance systems in a clever way
The assistance systems are only for support and do not absolve you from your responsibility for driving the vehicle.

The assistance systems are subject to physical and technical limitations. Therefore, in certain situations, system reactions may be perceived as undesirable or delayed.

• Stay alert and be ready to intervene.
• Familiarise yourself with the assistance systems, their limitations and operating conditions.
• Activate, deactivate and adjust the assistance sys-tems so that you have full control of the vehicle in any traffic situation.

Driving with a substitute spare wheel or emergen-cy wheel
A substitute spare wheel or emergency wheel is only used to reach the nearest specialist garage.

• Inflate the wheel with the max. prescribed inflation pressure.
• Follow the instructions on the warning label on the rim.
• Do not cover the warning sign.
• Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast cornering.
• Do not drive with more than one mounted spare wheel.
• Avoid using snow chains on the temporary spare wheel.

Driving with a loaded roof rack
When transporting objects on the roof rack, the ve-hicle’s driving behaviour changes.

• Adapt your speed and driving style to this.

Towing a trailer
The vehicle’s handling characteristics change with a trailer. The assistance systems may behave different-ly.
