Running-in notes
The first 1500 km
G
Riskofaccident
New brake pads/linings only have optimal
braking performance after several hundred
kilometres.Until then, compensate for this by
applying greaterforce to the brake pedal. This
also applies when brake pads/linings or
brake discs have been changed.
If you treat the engine with sufficient care
from the very start,you will be rewarded with
excellent performance for the remainder of
the engine's life.

G
Risk of explosion
Fuel is highly flammable. Fire, naked flames
and smoking are therefore prohibited when
handling fuels.
Switch off the engine before refuelling.
G
Risk of injury
Do not come into contact with fuels.
It is hazardous to your health if your skin
comes into direct contact with fuels or you
breathe in fuel vapours.
!
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Even small amounts of diesel
result in damage to the injection system.
Damage resulting from adding diesel is not
covered by the warranty.
!
If the wrong fuel has been added by mis-
take, do not switch on the ignition. If you
do, the fuel could enter the fuel lines. The
fuel tank and the fuel lines must then be
drained. Informaqualified specialist work-
shop and have the fuel tank and the fuel
lines drained completely.
When you open or close the vehicle with the
key, the fuel filler flap is automatically
unlocked or locked.
The position of the fuel filler cap is to the rear
on the right.The position of the fuel filler cap
is displayed in the instrumentcluster 8.
The arrow nextto the filling pump indicates
the side of the vehicle.
