Washer fluid
Screenwash for the washer fluid is highly
flammable. Therefore, to avoid the risk of
injury, it has to be kept away from ignition
sources and stored only in the sealed original
container out of the reach of children. Comply
with the instructions on the container.<
Washer fluid reservoir
Only top up washer fluid with anti-freeze
protection when the engine has cooled
down. This prevents contact with hot engine
components. Otherwise, if the fluid is spilled,
there is a risk of fire and personal safety is
endangered.<
When filling with water, to which screenwash
has been added if required, always follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Mix the water and screenwash additive
before filling the washer fluid reservoir, to
make sure the correct concentration is main-
tained.<
Capacity
Approx. 4 litres, approx. 7 pints.
Cruise control*
The principle
You can activate the cruise control from a speed
of approx. 30 km/h or 20 mph. The car then
memorises and maintains the speed that you
specify using the button on the steering wheel.
Do not use the cruise control when unfa-
vourable conditions preclude driving at
steady speeds, for example winding roads,
heavy traffic or a poor road surface such as
snow, rain, ice, or loose material. Otherwise you
could lose control of the vehicle and cause an
accident as a result.<
