Recommends that you study this section of
this Owner’s Handbook in connection with a
particular part or assembly.
Your individual vehicle
You have decided in favour of a vehicle with in‐
dividual equipment.
This Owner’s Handbook describes all models
and equipment specifications which are avail‐
able within this particular model line.
This means it can contain equipment variations
that you might not have selected.
Differences, and thus all options, are marked
with an asterisk *.
If certain equipment and models are not descri‐
bed in this Owner’s Handbook, refer to the Sup‐
plementary Owner’s Handbooks provided.
In right-hand drive vehicles, some of the con‐
trols are arranged differently from those shown
in the illustrations.
Built-date*
The 'built-date' of your vehicle is indicated un‐
derneath the door post on the driver's door.
The ‘built-date’ is defined as ‘the calendar
month and the calendar year in which the body
shell and the powertrain subassemblies are con‐
joined and the vehicle is driven or moved from
the production line’.
Status of the Owner's
Handbook
The high level of safety and quality of vehicles is
ensured by continuous enhancement. In rare in‐
stances, your car may therefore differ from the
information supplied here.
