Radiator shutters
The radiator shutters located in front of the radiator (hereinafter: shutter) help
to reduce CO emissions as well as harmful emissions and to save fuel.

If the system detects that it is possible to reduce the amount of air flowing to
the radiator, it closes the blinds. As a result, the air pressure is reduced in the
front of the vehicle.
If, due to a function impairment of the shutters, a driving speed of 150 km/h is
reached, an appropriate message is shown in the display of the instrument
cluster.
After the display of the above message, the top speed of the vehicle is auto-
matically limited to around 170 km/h.
If this message appears in the winter, the cause may be ice or snow caught up
in the blinds. After the ice or snow has thawed, the blinds are functional again.
If the impairment not due to ice or snow, then assistance from a specialist
should be sought.
