Layout of this Owner's Manual (explanations)
The Owner's Manual has been systematically designed, in order to make it easy
for you to find and absorb the information you require.
WARNING
The most important notes are marked with the heading WARNING. These
WARNING notes draw your attention to a serious risk of accident or injury.
While reading the text you will frequently encounter a double arrow followed
by a small triangle with an exclamation mark. This symbol is intended to draw
your attention to a WARNING note at the end of the section to which you must
pay careful attention.
Chapters, table of contents and subject index
The text of the Owner's manual is divided into relatively short sections which are
combined into easy-to-read chapters. The chapter you are reading at any particu-
lar moment is always highlighted at the bottom right of the page.
The Table of contents is arranged according to the chapters and the detailed Sub-
ject index at the end of the Owner's Manual helps you to rapidly find the informa-
tion you are looking for.
CAUTION
A Caution note draws your attention to the possibility of damage to your vehicle
(e.g. damage to gearbox), or points out general risks of an accident.
Sections
The majority of Sections apply to all models.
For the sake of the environment
Since there is a wide range of different equipment and options available it is clear-
ly unavoidable, despite dividing the contents into sections, that mention may be
made of equipment which is not fitted to your vehicle.
An Environmental note draws your attention to environmental protection as-
pects. This is where you will, for example, find tips aimed at reducing your fuel
consumption.
Brief information and instructions
Note
Each section has a Heading.
A normal Note draws your attention in a general way to important information for
the operation of your vehicle.
This is followed by Brief information (in large italic lettering), which tells you the
subject which is dealt with in this section.
Most of the illustrations are accompanied by an Instruction (in large letters) which
explains to you in a straightforward way the action you have to take. Work steps
which have to be carried out begin with a hyphen.
Direction indications
All direction indications such as “left”, “right”, “front”, “rear” relate to the direction
of travel of the vehicle.
