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 tailgate

Avoid driving with the tailgate 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 tailgate 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.
