Driving hints
The first 600 mil es / 1000 km
Drive your vehicle at v arious speeds.
Do not use full throttle. Never allow
the engine to lab our at low revs.
Make good use of all gea rs. Depress
the a ccelerator peda l a max imum of
about 3 /4 of the available 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). Driving in this manner is a danger
to yourself and others.
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.
Wa rming up
Allow the engine to warm up while driving.
Do not warm it up by letting it run at idling
speed. Do not apply full throttle until the
engine has reached operating temp erature.
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.
Clutch op era tion
Alw ays dep ress the clutch ped al hard to
the floor to prevent shifting difficulties
and transmission d amage.
When driving do not use the pedal as a foot
rest; this will cause substantial clutch w ear.

Saving fuel,
Protectin g the 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.
A highly adv anced design mea ns that your
vehic le can be easily disassembled at the
end of its working life, and the individual
materials separated for subsequent re-use.
Materia ls such as asbestos and cadmium
are not used . The refrigerant in the air
conditioning system 3 is C FC -free.
New painting techniques employ water as
a solvent.
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 and brake
unnecessarily. Drive at uniform speed,
watching the road.
Avoid frequent 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 sw itching off the
engine. Five minutes of idling corresponds
to app roximately 0.6 miles (1 km) of
driv ing.
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 109.
z To enable the overrun cut-off to come
into action and sav e fuel, do not
accelerate or d e-clutch during overrun.
Corr ect gear sel ec tion
z High revs increase engine w ear and fuel
consumption.
z Do not rac e y our engine. Av oid driving
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
consump tion and the noise lev el. At
top speed, you consume a great deal
of fuel and produc e excessive noise
and exhaust emissions.
z Slightly relea sing the accelerator ped al
results in distinct fuel savings with no
major loss of speed.
Drive at no more tha n around three
quarters of max imum speed and you
will use up to 50% less fuel, w ithout losing
a g reat deal of time.
Tyre pressure

Fuel consumption
Fuel consump tion is determined und er
specific driv ing cond itions see page 166.
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.
There is increased friction betw een engine
and transm ission parts during the first 600
miles (1000 km ). This increases fuel
consump tion.
Fuel
Fuel for petrol engines
Normal commercial high-quality fuels
with a maxim um ethanol content of 5 % in
accordance with DIN EN 228 are suitable
(for cataly tic c onverter see pa ge 114, for
octane numbers see page 164). The quality
thereof has considerable effect on the
performance, running and service life of the
engine. The additives mixed with the fuel
are extrem ely important. For this reason
you must only refuel with high-quality fuels
conta ining additives.

Crui se control 3
Cruise control can store and maintain
speeds of approx. 20 to 125 m ph
(30 to 200 k m/h). Dev ia tion from the stored
speed is possible on uphill or d ownhill
inclines.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the foot brake
has been operated once.
The c ruise c ontrol is operated with the
buttons I , R and O on the turn signal stalk.
Do not use the c ruise control if it is not
adv isable to maintain a c onstant sp eed
(e. g. in situations presenting a danger to
yourself and other road users, in heavy
traffic or on winding , slippery or greasy
roads).

Brake system
The b ra kes are an important factor for
traffic sa fety.
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.
123
Brak e assi st
If the brake pedal is operated with a
powerful push, the vehic le is a utoma tica lly
brak ed a t full b ra king power in ord er to
achieve the shortest p ossib le brak ing
distance when full-on brak ing occurs
(braking a ssistant).
Maintain steady pressure on the b rake
pedal for as long as full-on brak ing is
to continue. When the brake pedal is
released, the m aximum b ra ke force
am plification is taken away .
124
Foot brak e
The foot brake comprises two 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 considera bly
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 109.
Hand brak e
Alway s apply hand brak e firmly. O n slopes

Wa shing
The p aintwork of your vehicle is ex posed to
environmental influences, e.g. continuous
cha ng es in wea ther conditions, industrial
waste gases and dust or thawing salts,
so wa sh and wax y our v ehicle regularly.
When using automatic ca r washes, selec t
a programme which includes wax ing .
159
160
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.
Locks
The locks are factory-lubricated with a hig h
quality lock cylinder grease. This p revents
the loc ks from freez ing. Only use Va ux ha ll
De-icer in urg ent cases as this destroys the
grease and d amages the func tion of the
locks. After using Vaux hall De-icer, ha ve a
workshop re-grease the loc ks.
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 freq uently
in automa tic 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.
Caution - commercially av ailable bitum en/
rubb er ma terials can dama ge the PVC
coating. We recommend that you have
underbody w ork carried out b y a
work shop, who know s the prescribed
materials and has experience in the use
thereof.

A note on safety
To av oid injury from moving parts and
cab les conduc ting ignition voltage, only
carry out engine c om partment checks
(e.g. checking brake fluid or engine oil
level) when the ignition is switched off.
9 Warnin g
The cooling fan is controlled b y a thermoswitch a nd can therefore sta rt
unexpectedly ev en if the ig nition is
switched off. Risk of injury .
Electronic ignition system s generate very
hig h voltages. Do not touch the ignition
sy stem; high voltage can b e fatal.
179
Engine oil
Information on eng ine oils is found in the
Serv ic e Booklet.
Engine oil l ev el and consumpt ion
Every engine consum es engine oil for
technical rea sons. The engine oil
consumption cannot be assessed until a
fa irly long dista nce has been driven, and
may be above the spec ified v alue when the
vehicle is first being driven (run-in period).
Frequent driving at high revs increases
engine oil c onsumption.
9 Warning
It is the Owners Responsibility to
maintain the proper level of an
appropriate quality oil in the engine.
180
Service, Maintenance
9 Warning
Waste engine oil c annot be disposed of
with domestic refuse. Observ e the legal
requirements for disposal of old oil and

181
Coolant
9 Warnin g
Antifreeze is a danger to health; it m ust
therefore be kept in the original container
and out of the reach of children.
182
Service, Maintenance
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 ntifreeze. If no antifreeze is
av ailable, top up with clean tap water.
If tap water is unavailab le, distilled water
can b e used.
After filling with tap water or d istilled
water, measure the antifreeze
concentration and ad d antifreez e if
required. H ave a workshop establish the
cause of the coolant loss.
Coolant lev el
Hardly a ny losses occur since the cooling
sy stem is sealed and it is thus rarely
necessary to top up the coolant.
The coolant should be a little above the
KALT/COLD ma rk in the expansion tank
with a cold cooling system. The coolant
level can also be read off from the outsid e
of the ex pansion tank.
9 Warning
Allow engine to cool down before
rem ov ing coolant filler cap. Remove filler
cap carefully so that pressure can escape
slowly , otherwise there is a risk of scalding.
183
