Starting and driving
The following message will be displayed on
the DIC if the transmission fluid becomes
too hot:
If this message appears, stop the car as
soon as it is safe to do so and allow the
engine to idle until the message has gone
out. The selector lever should be in
position P.
When continuing your journey, manually
select a low gear in which the engine speed
is about 3500 rpm until the incline eases,
see page 143.
Recommendations for cars with
manual gearbox
Rises in coolant temperature are indicated
by the temperature gauge in the main instru-

off and, on certain engine variants, the max-
imum engine torque will be limited.
When continuing your journey, select a
low gear in which the engine speed is

Towbar load
The weight distribution on the caravan
makes a lot of difference to the handling
properties of the car and caravan combina-
tion. As regards two-wheel caravans, con-
centrate the load over the wheels and keep
it as low as possible.
The caravan should be loaded so that the
load on the towball is 50–75 kg. Note that
this load must be included in the total load
for the car. If this now exceeds the specified
load capacity, the load in the luggage com-
partment may have to be reduced by the
corresponding amount.
Gearbox too hot. Make a
safe stop. Open hood.
WARNING
Utilise the braking effect of the engine
(gear M1, M2 or M3) when you are
descending long or steep hills to spare
the brakes.
Overheating can cause the brakes to
fade!
WARNING
Utilise the braking effect of the engine
