Driving
In cit
y traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in v
ery tight t
urns.
On the road or on the motorway, progressive
steering transmits, for example, in bends, a
sportier, more direct and noticeably more dy-
namic driving sensation.
Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering helps the driver in
critical situations. It recommends the rotation
direction of the steering wheel to perform a
corrective manoeuvre (counter-steering),
thereby causing a small turn of the wheel in
the correct direction to avoid skidding

.
WARNING
Power-assisted steering, together with the
ESC, helps the driver to contr
ol vehicle
steering in critical situations. However, the
driver is ultimately responsible for steering
the vehicle at all times. Power-assisted
steering does not remove this responsibili-
ty.
Control lamp
It lights up red
The electromechanical steering is damaged.
Do not continue driving. Stop the vehicle safely and
as soon as possible.
Have the steering checked immediately by a special-
ised workshop.
It lights up yellow
The operation of the electromechanical steering is
limited.
See a specialised workshop immediat
ely and have
the steering checked.
If the yellow warning lamp does not light up again af-
ter the engine is restarted and the vehicle has travel-
led a short distance, you do not need to take it to a
specialised workshop.
Or: The 12-volt battery was disconnected and has
been connected again.
Driv
e for a short time at 15-20 km/h (9-12 mph).
It flashes yellow
The steering column is tight.
Turn the wheel a little t
o both sides.
Or: Not unlocked or blocked steering column.
Remo
ve the key from the ignition and then switch the
ignition back on. If necessary, check the messages
displayed on the instrument panel display.
Do not drive on if the steering column remains
locked after the ignition has been switched on. Seek
specialist assistance.
The control lamp should light up for a few
seconds when the ignition is s
wit
ched on. It
shoul
d go out once the engine is started.
WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
messages are ignored when they light up
,
the vehicle may stall in traffic. It could case
damage to the vehicle and cause acci-
dents and severe injuries.
●
Never ignore the warning lamps or mes-
sages.
●
Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity
and in a safe place.
Run-in and economical driv-
ing
Running in the engine
A new vehicle should be run in over a dis-
t
ance of 1500 km (
1000 mil
es). For the first
1,000 km the engine speed should not ex-
ceed 2/3 of the maximum permissible engine
speed. In doing so, do not accelerate at full
throttle and do not drive with a trailer! From
1000 to 1500 km (600 to 1000 miles) you
can gradually increase the engine rpm and
road speed.
