Vehicle
features
and
op
t
ionsThis
chapter
describes
all
standard,
country-spej
cific
and
optional
features
offered
with
the
series.
It
also
describes
features
that
are
not
necessarily
available
in
your
vehicle,
e.
g.,
due
to
the
selected
options
or
country
versions.
This
also
applies
to
safety-related
functions
and
systems.
When
usj
ing
these
functions
and
systems,
the
applicable
laws
and
regulations
must
be
observed.
Hi g

h-performance
engineGeneral
information
With
a
displacement
of
3
liters,
the
high-performj
ance
engine
generates
a
maximum
power
of
405
hp
and
a
maximum
torque
of
405
lbs
ft/550
Nm.
With
its
spontaneous
response
bej
havior,
a
speed
range
of
wide
utility
results.
The
maximum
engine
speed
is
7,500
rpm
and
is
conj
trolled
electronically.
Because
of
the
high
engine
dynamics,
the
maximum
engine
speed
with
the
vehicle
stationary
is
reduced.
Warm-up
During
the
engine
warm-up
phase,
the
high-perj
formance
engine
has
a
somewhat
rougher
runj
ning
behavior
because
of
the
emission
controls.
When
the
engine
is
cold,
the
exhaust
system
has
a
slightly
metallic
undertone
due
to
the
nature
of
the
system.
C om

pound
brakeThe
high-performance
braking
system
has
perj
forated
compound
brake
discs. Because
of
particular
structural
characteristics,
there
may
be
operation-related
noises
during
braking.
The
functional
noises
have
no
effect
on
the
performance,
operational
reliability,
and
duraj
bility
of
the
brake.
D ri

vetrain With
this
vehicle,
particular
value
was
placed
on
the
direct
connection
from
engine
to
the
drivej
train.
Due
to
the
torsionally
rigid
design
of
the
drivetrain,
as
is
typical
in
a
sports
vehicle,
the
transmission
of
the
torque
also
gives
acoustic
feedback.
When
there
are
load
changes,
this
may
result
in
clicking
noises.
The
clicking
noises
do
not
impair
the
operation
or
the
service
life
of
the
compoj
nents.
Dr i

ving
on
racetracks Higher
mechanical
and
thermal
loads
during
racetrack
operation
lead
to
increased
wear.
This
wear
is
not
covered
by
the
warranty.
The
vehicle
is
not
designed
for
use
in
motor
sports
competij
tion.
The
standard
brake
linings
and
the
wear
indicaj
tors
are
not
designed
for
racetrack
operation.

lid
protrudes
from
the
vehicle
and
can
endanger
occupants
and
other
traffic
participants
or
damage
the
vehicle
in
the
event
of
an
accident,
braking
or
evasive
maneuvers.
In
addition,
exhaust
fumes
may
enter
the
car's
interior.
There
is
a
risk
of
injury
or
risk
of
damj
age
to
property.
Do
not
drive
with
the
trunk
lid
open. Driving
with
the
tailgate
open
If
driving
with
the
tailgate
open
cannot
be
avoided:
'x Close
all
windows
and
the
glass
sunroof.
'x Greatly
increase
the
air
flow
from
the
vents.
'x Drive
moderately.
Hot
exhaust
gas
system WARNING
During
driving
operation,
high
temperatures
can
occur
underneath
the
vehicle
body,
for
instance
caused
by
the
exhaust
gas
system.
If
combustij
ble
materials,
such
as
leaves
or
grass,
come
in
contact
with
hot
parts
of
the
exhaust
gas
sysj
tem,
these
materials
can
ignite.
There
is
a
risk
of
injury
or
risk
of
damage
to
property.
Do
not
remove
the
heat
shields
installed
and
never
apj
ply

to
them.
Make
sure
that
no combustible
materials
can
come
in

interior. Hydroplaning
On
wet
or
slushy
roads,
a
wedge
of
water
can
form
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

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.
The
pulsing
of
the
brake
pedal
indicates
that
ABS
is
in
its
active
mode.
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
pedals
and
floor
area WARNING
Objects
in
the
driver's
floor
area
can
limit
the
pedal
distance
or
block
a
depressed
pedal.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
Stow
objects
in
the
vehicle
such
that
they
are
secured
and
canj
not
enter
into
the
driver's
floor
area.
Use
floor
mats
that
are
suitable
for
the
vehicle
and
can
be
safely
attached
to
the
floor.
Do
not
use
loose
floor
mats
and
do
not
layer
several
floor
mats.
Make
sure
that
there
is
sufficient
clearj
ance
for
the
pedals.
Ensure
that
the
floor
mats are
securely
fastened
again
after
they
were
rej
moved,
for
instance
for
cleaning.
Driving
in
wet
conditions
When
roads
are
wet,
salted,
or
in
heavy
rain,
genj
tly
press
the
brake
pedal
every
few
miles.
Ensure
that
this
action
does
not
endanger
other
traffic.
The
heat
generated
during
braking
dries
brake
discs
and
brake
pads
and
protects
them
against
corrosion.
In
this
way
braking
efficiency
will
be
available
when
you
need
it.
Hills General
information
Drive
long
or
steep
downhill
gradients
in
the
gear
that
requires
least
braking
effort.
Otherwise,
the
brakes
may
overheat
and
reduce
brake
effij
ciency.
Manual
transmission:
You
can
increase
the
engine's
braking
effect
by
shifting
down,
going
all
the
way
to
first
gear,
if
needed.
M
double-clutch
transmission:
You
can
increase
the
engine's
braking
effect
by
shifting
down
in
sequential
mode,
refer
to
page
112.
Safety
information WARNING
Light
but
consistent
brake
pressure
can
lead
to
high
temperatures,
brakes
wearing
out
and
possibly
even
brake
failure.
There
is
a
