General
driving
notes
Closing

tailgate
Safety
information
WBSning
An
open
tailgate
protrudes
from
the
vehicle
and
can
endanger
occupants
and
other
traffic
parj
ticipants
or
damage
the
vehicle
in
the
event
of
an
accident,
braking
or
evasive
maneuvers.
In addition,
exhaust
fumes
may
enter
the
car's
inj
terior.
There
is
a
risk
of
injury
or
risk
of
damage
to
property.
Do
not
drive
with
the

Driving
with
the
tailgate
open
If
driving
with
the
tailgate
open
cannot
be avoided:
'xClose
all
windows
and
the

the
air
flow
from
the
vents.'xDrive
moderately.
Hot

system
WBSning
During
driving
operation,
high
temperatures
can
occur
underneath
the
vehicle
body,
for
instance
caused
by
the
exhaust
gas
system.
If

that
no
combustible
materials
can
come

or
during
parking.
Do

system.
Mobile
communication
devices
in
the
vehicle
WBSning
Vehicle
electronics
and
mobile
phones
can

There
is
radiation
due
to the
transmission
operations
of
mobile
phones.There
is
a
risk
of
injury
or
risk
of

If
possible,
in
the
car's
interior
use only
mobile
phones
with
direct
connections
to
an
exterior
antenna
in
order
to
exclude
mutual interference
and
deflect
the
radiation
from
thecar's
interior.
Hydroplaning
On
wet
or
slushy
roads,
a
wedge
of
water
canform
between
the
tires
and
road
surface.
This
phenomenon
is
referred
to
as
hydroplaning.
It
is
characterized
by
a
partial
or
complete
loss
of contact
between
the
tires
and
the
road
surface,
ultimately
undermining
your
ability
to
steer
and
brake
the
vehicle.
Driving
through
water General
information
When
driving
through
water,
follow
the
following:
'xDrive
through
calm
water
only.'xDrive
through
water
only
if
it
is
not
deeper
than
a
maximum
of
9.8
inches/25
cm.'xDrive
through
water
no
faster
than
walking
speed,
up
to
3
mph/5
km/h.Safety
information
NOTICE
When
driving
too
quickly
through
too
deep
waj
ter,
water
can
enter
into
the
engine
compartj ment,
the
electrical
system
or
the
transmission.There
is
a
risk
of
damage
to
property.
When
driving
through
water,
do
not
exceed
the
maxij mum
indicated
water
level
and
the
maximumspeed
for
driving
through
water.
Braking
safely
General
information
The
vehicle
is
equipped
with
ABS
as
a
standard
feature.
Perform
an
emergency
stop
in
situations
that
rej
quire
such.
Steering
is
still
responsive.
You
can
still
avoid
any
obstacles
with
a
minimum
of
steering
effort.
Pulsation
of
the
brake
pedal
and
sounds
from
the
hydraulic
circuits
indicate
that
ABS
is
in
its
active mode.
In
certain
situations,
for
instance
when
coasting,
the
accelerator
pedal
can
be
used
for
deceleratj ing,
refer
to
page
105.
In
certain
braking
situations,
the
perforated
brake
discs
can
emit
functional
noises.
Functional
noises
have
no
effect
on
the
performance
and operational
reliability
of
the
brake.
Objects
in
the
movement
area
around

area
WBSning
Objects
in
the
driver's
floor
area
can
limit
the pedal
distance
or
block
a
depressed

There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Stow
objects
in
the vehicle
such
that
they
are
secured
and
cannotenter

Increasing
the
rangeGeneral
information
The
vehicle
contains
comprehensive
technoloj
gies
for
reducing
energy
consumption
and
for maximizing
the
range.
The
range
depends
on
a
number
of
different
facj tors.
The
implementation
of
certain
measures,
driving style
and
regular
maintenance
can
increasing
therange
and
thereby
also
reduce
the
environmentalimpact.
Remove
unnecessary
cargo
Additional
weight
reduces
the
range.
Remove
attached
parts
following
use
Attached
parts
on
the
vehicle
impair
the
aerodyj
namics
and
increase
the
energy
consumption.
Close
the
windows
and
glasssunroof
Driving
with
the
glass
sunroof
and
windows
open
results
in
increased
air
resistance
and
thereby
rej duces
the
range.
Tires
General
information
Tires
can
affect
energy
consumption
in
various ways,
for
instance
energy
consumption
can
beinfluenced
by
tire
size.
Check
the
tire
inflation
pressure
regularly
Check
and,
if
needed,
correct
the
tire
inflation
pressure
at
least
twice
a
month
and
before
startj ing
on
a
long
trip.
Low
tire
inflation
pressure
increases
rolling
rej
sistance
and
thus
raises
energy
consumption and
tire
wear.

Avoid
unnecessary
acceleration
