an emergency. Depending on the time of
year, people ins ide the veh icle can be ex­
posed to very h igh or very low tempera­
tures.
(D Note
Avo id h igh engine rpm, full throttle and heavy
engine loads until the engine has reached op­
erating temperature -otherw ise you risk en­
gine damage .
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run wh ile parked to
warm up. Beg in driving immed iately. T his re­

Steering lock
The steering locks when you turn the engine off
using the
!START ENGINE STOP ! button and
open the driver 's door. The locked steering helps
prevent vehicle theft.
Emergency off
If necessary, the engine can be switched off with
the s ele ctor lever in the R or D/S position. The
engine stops if you press and hold the
!START ENGINE STOP! button at speeds below
6 mph (10 km/h) and press the brake pedal.
A WARNING
- Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop. The full func­
t ion of the brake booster and the power
steering is not guaranteed. You must use
more force to turn or brake if necessary. Be­
cause you cannot steer and brake as you
usually would, this could lead to crashes
and serious injuries.
- For safety reasons, you should always park
your vehicle with the selector lever in P.
Otherwise, the vehicle could inadvertently
roll away .
- 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 heats up because of intense
sunlight or heat build-up in the engine com­
partment.
- Always take the key with you whenever you
leave your vehicle. Otherwise, the engine
could be started or electrical equipment
88
such as the power windows could be operat­
ed. This can lead to serious injury.
- Never leave children or persons requiring as ­
sistance unattended in the vehicle. The
doors can be locked using the remote trans­
mitter, preventing people from escaping
from the vehicle on their own in the event of
an emergency. Depending on the time of
year, people inside the vehicle can be ex­
posed to very high or very low tempera­
tures.
0 Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period, heat builds up in the en­
gine compartment after the engine is switch­
ed off -there is a risk of damaging the engine.
Allow the engine to run at idle for about two
minutes before switching it off.

You r vehicle is equ ipped wi th an electromechan i­
ca l parking brake . The parking brake is designed
to prevent the vehicle from ro lling unintentional­
ly and replaces the hand brake.
In add ition to the normal functions of a trad i­
t iona l han d brake, the electromechanical parking
brake provides va rious convenience and safety
funct ions .

A WARNING
If a drive range is engaged with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running, you must
in no instance accelerate care lessly. Other­
w ise the vehicle will start to move immediate­
ly -risk of an accident.
(D Tips
- If the parking brake is app lied with the igni­
tion switched off, the indicator lights in the
switch and. (USA models)/ . (Cana-
da models) in the instrument cluster will go
out after a ce rtain per iod of t ime.
- Occasiona l noises whe n the parking b rake is
applied and released are normal and are not
a cause for conce rn.
- When the vehicle is par ked, the park ing
brake goes thro ugh a self-test cycle at regu­
l a r i nte rvals. Any associa ted noises a re nor­
mal.

"When on incl ines or declines, turn the steering
wheel so that the vehicle w ill roll into the curb
if it beg ins to move .
A WARNING
-When you leave your vehi cle - even if on ly
br iefly- always remove the ign ition key. This
applies particular ly when c hildren remain in
the vehicle . Otherwise the children could
sta rt the engine, release the pa rking brake
or operate electrical eq uipment (e .g. power
windows). There is the risk of an acc ident.
- When the vehicle is loc ked, no one - particu ­
larly not children shou ld remain in the vehi-

Driving
-For reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on twisting roads and when road condi­
tions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel, heavy rain and hydroplaning) -you could
have an accident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporarily when driving in turning lanes, highway exits
or in construction zones.
- Please note that unconsciously "resting"
your foot on the accelerator pedal causes cruise control not to brake . This is due to
the control system being overridden by the
driver's acceleration.
- Never use the cruise control when driving
off-road or on unpaved roads. The cruise
control is intended for use only when the ve­
hicle is being operated on paved roads, and
is not suitable for use off-road or on un­
paved roads.
- If a brake system malfunction such as over­
heating occurs when the cruise control sys­
tem is switched on, the braking function in
the system may be switched off. The other
cruise control functions remain active as
long as the indicator light
tii;(O~i4 (US mod­
el)/lil (Canadian model) is on .
{D) Tips
The brake lights illuminate as soon as the
brakes apply automatically.
Changing speed
.,. To increase/decrease the speed in increments,
tap the lever in the
010 direction ¢ page 95,
fig. 108 .
.,. To increase/decrease the speed quickly, hold
the lever in the
010 direction until the de­
sired speed is displayed.
You can also press the accelerator pedal down to
increase your speed, e.g. if you want to pass
someone. The speed you saved earlier will re­
sume as soon as you let off of the accelerator
pedal.
If, however, you exceed your saved speed by
S mph
(10 km/h) for longer than 5 minutes, the
96
cruise control will be turned off temporarily. The
green symbol in the display turns white, the
saved speed is retained.
Pre-selecting speed
You can pre-select your desired speed while the
vehicle is not moving.
.,. Turn on the ignition.
.,. Pull lever into position
(D ¢page 95, fig. 108.
.,. Press the lever in the 0 or 0 direction to in-
crease or decrease your speed.
.,. Let go of the lever to save that speed .
This function makes it possible, for example, to
save the speed you want before driving on the
highway. Once on the highway, activate the
cruise control by pulling the lever toward

Switching off
Temporary deactivation
.,. Step on the brake pedal, or
.,. Press the lever into position @ (not clicked into
place) ¢
page 95, fig . 108, or
.,. Drive for longer than 5 minutes at more than
5 mph (10 km/h) above the stored speed.
Switching off completely
.,. Press lever into position @ (clicked into place),
or
.,. Switch the ignition off .
The speed you saved will be retained if the cruise control has been switched off temporarily . To re­
sume the saved speed , let up on the brake and
pull the lever to position

The saved speed will be erased after turning the
ignition off.
A WARNING
You should only resume the saved speed if it
is not too high for existing traffic conditions.
Otherwise you risk an accident.

This message appears if the high voltage battery
charge level is too low. The vehicle can no longer
be started with its own power. The high voltage
battery must be charged with a charger or the ve­
hicle must be jump started with the a id of anoth­

After the connecting the charger or jumper ca­ bles, the ignition must be turned off for approxi­
mately two minutes and then turned on again.
After no more than one m inute, one of the fol­
l owing indicator lights turns on in the instrument

If the indicator light turns on and this message
appears, the high voltage battery is charging or
the vehicle is be ing jump started with assistance
from another veh icle .
If the 12 volt batteries are dead, the -indi­
cator light turns on . The charging procedure
takes longer in this case because the 12 volt bat­

(D Tips
- The charger should deliver a current of at
l east 30 A. Otherwise charging the high
voltage battery will take considerably Ion-
Hybrid
ger . A current between 50 A and 70 A is ide ­
al.
- The vehicle that is assisting should be some­
what within the same vehicle class when
jump starting a vehicle. A smaller vehicle's
battery may be drained.
- After approximately 30 minutes, the charg­
ing procedure ends because the ignition is
automatically turned off. If you wou ld like
to cont inue to charge the battery, turn the
ign ition on again .
