Caution
Fuel grades other than those listed
on page 3 172 could damage the
catalytic converter or electronic
components.
Unburnt petrol will overheat and
damage the catalytic converter.
Therefore avoid excessive use of
the starter, running the fuel tank
dry and starting the engine by
pushing or towing.
In the event of misfiring, uneven en‐
gine running, a reduction in engine
performance or other unusual prob‐
lems, have the cause of the fault rec‐
tified by a workshop as soon as pos‐
sible. In an emergency, driving can be
continued for a short period, keeping
vehicle speed and engine speed low.
Automatic transmission
The automatic transmission permits
automatic gearshifting (automatic
mode) or manual gearshifting (man‐
ual mode).
Transmission display
The mode or selected gear is shown
in the transmission display.
