160 Driving and parking
optimum braking effect and grip after several
hundred kilometres of driving. Compensate for
the reduced braking effect by applying greater
force to the brake pedal.
Engine output and engine torque
%
The actual (maximum) values that can be ach-
ieved for engine output and engine torque
may deviate from the certified values within
the country-specific guidelines for permissible
tolerances (basis: UN-ECE No. 85 or country-
specific guidelines).
Influencing variables that can influence this
are, for example:
Location above sea level
R
Fuel quality
R
Outside temperature
R
Operating temperature of the engine
R
Until the engine has reached its operating temper-
ature, the engine operating temperature warning
lamp p is lit.
Engine output and engine torque have been
reduced. Take this into account for your driving
style.
When the engine operating temperature warning
lamp p goes out, full engine output and
engine torque are available.
Notes on driving
& WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardises the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
#
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
Always fit the floor mats securely and as
#
prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals.
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
#
place floor mats on top of one another.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rect footwear
Incorrect footwear includes, for example:
shoes with platform soles
R
shoes with high heels
R
slippers
R
There is a risk of an accident.
Always wear suitable footwear so that
#
you can operate the pedals safely.
& WARNING Risk of accident if the vehicle is
switched off while driving
If you switch off the vehicle while driving,
safety functions are restricted or no longer
available.
This may affect the power steering system and
the brake force boosting, for example.
You will need to use considerably more force
to steer and brake, for example.
Do not switch off the vehicle while driv-
