138 Drivin g and Operation 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 ).
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.
140 Drivin g and Operation Saving fuel, protecting th e environment Trend-set ting technology In the dev elopment and manufacture of your vehicle, environment-friendly and in the m ain recy clable materials were used. The p roduction method s used to make your vehicle are likewise env ironmentally compatible. Recycling of production wastes keeps the circulation of material closed. Reduction of energy a nd water requirements a lso help s to conserve natural resources.
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.
142 Drivin g and Operation 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.
Driving an d Operation Fuel filler cap 143 9 Warnin g When rep la cing the fuel filler cap, be sure to use a genuine fuel filler cap for your model to ensure full functionality. Dieselengined vehic les have special fuel filler caps. Fuel is flam mable and explosiv e. When ha nd ling fuel or when in the immediate vicinity, avoid nak ed flames or sparks. Do not smoke. This also applies where the presence of fuel is rev ealed by its characteristic smell.
144 Drivin g and Operation Correct filling depends to a la rg e ex tent on prop er operation of the fuel dispensing pump: 1. Fully insert the pump nozzle and switch it on. 2. At the autom atic sw itc h-off, the specified tank ca pacity is rea ched by means of metered refuelling (twice). Insert fuel d ispensing pump as far as possible. To close, place fuel filler cap in position and turn, ov ercoming the resistance until the ra tchet on the c ap enga ges audibly. Pict ure no: 14191s.

Pi cture no: 13670t.
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.
168 Drivin g and Operation Handling is greatly influenced by the loading of the caravan / trailer. Load s should therefore b e sec ured so that they cannot slip , and should be placed in the centre of the c aravan / trailer if possib le, i.e. ab ov e the axle. In the case of ca ra vans / trailers with low driving stability, do not ex ceed a speed of 50 mp h (80 km/h); the use of a friction-typ e stabiliser is strongly recommended.
Driving an d Operation When driving downhill, the brakes a re under considerab ly m ore load when towing a cara van / trailer. For this reason, drive in the same gear as if driv ing uphill and drive at a similar speed. Before starting-off under extreme conditions (high combination weight, mountainous terrain w ith steep inclines), switch off all unnecessary electrical loads (e.g. heated rear window, air conditioning system 3, heated front seats 3 ).

202 Self-help, Vehicle Care Vehicle care When caring for your vehicle, observe all 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.
Self-help, V ehicle Care Waxing Wax y our vehicle regularly, in particula r after it ha s b een washed using shampoo, and at the latest when water no longer forms bead s on the paintwork, otherwise the p aintwork will dry out. Also wax edges and folds on opened doors and flaps as well as the areas they cover. Polishing Polishing is necessary only if the paint has become dull or if solid deposits have become attached to it. Paintwork polish w ith silicone forms a protective film, making wa xing unnecessary.
204 Self-help, Vehicle Care Interior and upholstery Clean the v ehicle interior, includ ing the instrument panel facia, using interior cleaner. Seat belts Alw ays keep seat belts clean and dry. The instrum ent panel should only be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. 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. Clean fabric upholstery with a vacuum cleaner and b rush.
Self-help, V ehicle Care Eng ine compar tment Look after areas in the engine compartment that are p ainted in the same colour as the vehicle like any other paintwork. It is adv isable to wash the engine compartment before and after winter and preserve it with wax. Before engine washing, cover alternator and brak e fluid reserv oir with plastic sheeting.

You may unwittingly infringe the provisions of the law a nd , by not performing the work properly , end ang er y ourself and other road users.
Servic e, Mainten ance Pict ure no: 17903s.t if To check the engine oil level, insert wiped oil dipstick into dipstick tube as far as it will go. Top engine oil up if the lev el has dropped into the range of the top -up m ark MIN . The engine oil level must not exceed the upper mark M AX on the dipstick. Excess engine oil must be drained off or extracted. If the engine oil level is above the MAX mark, there is a risk of damag e to the engine or the ca ta lytic converter.
230 Service, Maintenance Diesel fuel filter Coolant At each eng ine oil chang e, hav e the d iesel fuel filter 3 c hecked for any wa ter residue by a workshop. The glycol-based coolant p rov id es excellent corrosion protection for the hea ting and cooling sy stems as well a s anti-freeze protection down to –28 °C. It rema ins in the cooling sy stem throughout the yea r and need not be changed. Illum ination of control ind icator A indica tes water in the diesel fuel filter.
Servic e, Mainten ance 231 When the engine is at op erating temperature, coolant lev el rises. It falls aga in when the system cools. If it falls below the KALT/C OLD mark when the system is cold, top up to the mark. Top up a nti-freeze. If no anti-freeze is av ailable, top up with clean tap water. If tap water is unavailable, distilled water can b e used.
