year , people inside the vehicle can be e xposed to very high or very
low t emperatures .
• Never remove the ignition key from the ignition look while the
vehicle is moving. Otherw ise, the steering lock could suddenly
engage and you would not be able to steer the vehicle.

• Avoid high eng ine spee ds, fast a cce le ra ti on or heavy eng ine load s
whi le the engine is still cold. This cou ld damage t he eng ine .
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emiss ions,
do no t let your vehicle s tand and w arm up. Be re ady to dr ive off i mme
diately after starting your ve hicle . Maintain moderate speed unt il the
engine is complete ly warm . R emember, the engine per forms best at

& WARNING
• Never turn off the engine until the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
• The brake booster and servotronic only work when the engine
is running. With the ignition turned off , you have to apply more
force when steering or braking. Since you cannot steer and stop
normally , this can lead to accidents and serious injuries .
• The radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10 minutes even
after you have turned off the engine and removed the ignition key.
The radiator fan can also turn on again if the engine coolant heat s
up because of intense sunlight or heat build-up in the engine
c ompartment.

Adaptive cruise control ml ____________ __._ __ _
• A red vehicle is shown in the instrument cluster display
=>
page 132, fig. 123.
• The text
DISTANCE! appears in the status line .
• The indicator light in the Instrument cluster blinks red .
• A warning tone sounds.
[I) Tips
• If the adaptive cruise control initiates brak ing, the hydraulic brake
system is under pressure . Therefore, the brake pedal distance is
shorter and the pedal "feels" harder .
• Adaptive cruise control is switched off after press ing the foot
brake . The speed saved up this point can be resumed.
• To resume the saved speed, release the brake pedal and press the
control lever=>
page 126, "Turning adaptive cruise control off
temporarily ".
• If you use the accelerator to go faster than the speed of the object
ahead of you, the
driver intervention prompt will not be accompa
nied by a warn ing signal.
• If the speed you previously set is exceeded, the indicator light in
the speedometer will switch off.•

General information
Some driving situations which affect the function of the
radar sensor are described below.
When driving, the adaptive cru ise contro l is governed by physical and
system-specified limits. Also, under certain circumstances, the ACC
system may react unexpectedly or late from the driver's point of view.
Therefore, a lways be attentive and intervene, if necessary:
• when driving around curves=>
page 134
• when vehicles in front are not in line with your vehicle=> page 134
• when other ve hicles are changing lanes=> page 134
• when other veh icles are difficult to detect=> page 135.
& WARNING
The radar sensor's vision can be reduced by rain, snow and heavy
spray . This can result in vehicles driving ahead being inadequately
detected or , in some circumstances , not detected at all. If neces
sary, take action yourself!•

Homelink®
Universal remote control
Applies to veh icles: w ith Hom elin k® un iversal re m ote contro l
General information
The Homelink ® feature can learn up to three radio
frequency codes for most current transmitters used for
operating garage doors, estate gates , home or outdoor
lighting systems, and other devices.
Yo u must fi rst p rogr am the Home link® tra nsmi tte r be fore you can
use the system=>
page 167, "Programming the Homelink ® trans
m itter".
In order to program the Homelink ® transm itter fo r devices utilizing
rolling code, a second person on a ladder who can sa fely reach t he
garage door opener motor is recommended. It is also necessary to
locate the "learn" button on yo ur garage door opener motor . Re fer to
t he oper ating ins truc tions fo r th e opene r, as the loca tion and color o f
this button may vary by manufacturer .
Yo u can still use the original remote control for the device at any
t ime .
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink'"' transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and rever se feature as
required by fed eral safety standards. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April
l , 1982 .
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety
standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death.
& WARNING (cont inu ed )
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake o r start the
engine while anyone i s standing in front of the vehicle .
• A ga rage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed. If the device is repeatedly activated, this can over
s train motor and dam age its electri cal components · an over
heated motor is a fi re hazard!
• To avoid pos sible injurie s
or property damage , plea se always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.
[ i ] Tips
• If you would like mo re inf orma tion o n Hom eli nk ®, whe re to
