Good, technica lly correct and economicaldriving ensures ma ximum durability and
performan ce for your veh ic le.
OverrunThe fue l supp ly is autom at ically shut off
during overrun, e.g. when the vehicle isbeing d riven down long g radie nt s or when
braking. To enable the overrun cut-off totake effect, do not accelerate during
overrun and d o not de-clutch. To preventdam age to the cata lyt ic converter, overrun
cut-off is temp orarily dea ctivated when th ecatalytic converter temperature is high.
Vehicles with turbocharged engineFlow -g enerated no ises may be aud ible if

Warming upAllow the engine to wa rm up while driving.Do not warm it u p by letting it run at idling
speed. Do not apply full thrott le until t he
engine has reached operat ingtemperature.
Correct gear selectionDo not ra ce your engine whilst in neutral or
with a low g ea r selected. Driving to o fast inindividua l gea rs as well as stop-and -g o
tra ffic increase engine wear and f uelconsumption.
Change downWhen decreasing speed, shift down int othe next lowest gear. Do no t slip the clutch
with a high-revving engine. This isespecially import ant when h ill climbing.
Clutch operationAlw ays dep ress the clutch pedal h ard t othe floor to prevent shift ing d ifficulties and

When dr iving do not u se the pedal as a
foot rest; this will ca use substant ial clutchwear.
To ensure the ped al travel is uninh ibit ed,
there must be no mat s in the area of t hepedals.
Battery careWhen driving slowly or when the vehicle isstationary, e.g. in slow urban t raff ic, stop-
