-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. 
S ince you  cannot  steer  and  stop  normal
ly, this  can  lead  to  accidents  and  ser ious 
injuries. 
- The  rad iator  fan  can  continue  to  run  for 
up  to  10  min utes  even  after  you  have 
turned  off the  engine  and  removed  the  ign ition  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  compartment. 
«I) Note 
Do not  stop  the  engine  immed iate ly after 
hard  or  extended  dr iving.  Keep the  engine 
running  for  approximately  two  minutes  to

set  and  you  switch  on  the  ignition. 
A WARNING 
-
Always  release  the  parking  brake  com
pletely.  A partially  engaged  brake  will 
overheat  the  rear  brakes,  reduce  their  ef
fectiveness  and  cause  excessive  wear.  This  could  lead  to  brake  failure  and  an  accident . 
(D Note 
Only after  the  vehicle  has  come  to  com
plete  stop,  should  you  firmly  set  the  park
ing  brake  and 
move the  selector  lever  into 
P.

• Move the  selector  lever  to  P. 
..  Turn  the  engine  off~_& . 
..  When  on  inclines or  declines,  turn  the  steer
ing  wheel  so  that the  vehicle  will  roll  into 
the  curb  if it  begins  to 
move. 
A WARNING 
This  is  how  you  can  reduce  the  risk  of  in
jury  when  leaving  your  vehicle. 
- Never  park  the  vehicle  where  it  can  come 
in  contact  with  dry  grass,  spilled  fuel  or 
any  other  flammable  materials. 
- When  parking  on  hills, always  turn  the 
wheels  so  that  the  front  wheels  will first 
roll  into  the  curb,  if the  vehicle  should 
start  to  roll. 
- Never  allow  anyone  - especially  small 
children  - to remain  in the  vehicle  when 
it  is  locked.  Locked  doors  make  it  more 
difficult  for rescuers  to  access  the  pas
senger  compartment  in the  event  of  an 
emergency.  Danger  to  life! 
- Never  leave  children  unsupervised  in  the 
vehicle.  Children  could  release  the  park
ing  brake  or 
move the  gearshift  lever  out 
-
of  gear.  The  vehicle  could  start  to  roll 
away  and  cause  an  accident. 
- No matter  what  the  season  is, the  tem
perature  in a  parked  vehicle  can  reach 
dangerous  levels. 
Q) Note 
- Please  exercise  care  when  you  park  your 
vehicle  in  parking areas  with  parking  bar
riers  or  curbs.  Parking  barriers  and  curbs 
vary  in height  and  could  damage  your 
bumper  and  related  components  as  the 
front  of  your  vehicle 
moves  over a  barrier 
or  curb  that is too  high,  as  you  park  or  as 
you  back  out  of  a  parking  spot.  In order 
to  be  sure  that  no  such  damage  can oc
cur,  you  may  wish  to  stop  short  of  having 
the  front  tires  of  your  car  touch  the  park
ing  barrier  or  curb. 
- Please  also  exercise  exceptional  care 
when  you  drive  up or  down  steep  ramps 
or  drive 
over curbs  or  other  obstacles,  for 
which  the  vehicle  is  not  designed,  be
cause  components of  th@ vehicle  close to 
the  ground,  such  as  bumper  covers, 
spoilers  and  suspension  and  exhaust  sys
tem  components,  may  become  dam
aged. 
Starting  on  hills 
Hill Hold  makes  it easier  to  start  on  hills. 
The  system  is activated  when  the  brake  pedal 
is depressed 
for  a few  seconds . For this, the 
vehicle  must  be  standing  in uphill  driving  di rection. 
After  releasing  the  brake  pedal,  the  brake  power  is held  for  a 
brief  moment to  prevent 
the  vehicle  from  rolling  back  when  starting.  At 
this  time,  you  can  easily  begin  to 
move your 
vehicle. 
A WARNING 
- If  you  did  not  begin  moving immediately 
after  releasing  the  brake  pedal,  under 
certain  circumstances,  the  vehicle  would 
begin  to  roll  backward.  Depress the  ..,.

brake  pedal  immediately  or  engage  the 
parking  brake. 
- Should  the  engine  stall,  depress  the 
brake  pedal  immediately  or  engage  the 
parking  brake. 
- In  order  to  prevent  the  vehicle  from  roll
ing  back  unintentionally  when  starting  in 
stop-and-go  traffic,  keep  the  brake  pedal 
depressed  for  a few  seconds  before  driv
ing  off . 
- When  you  leave  the  vehicle  - even  if only 
briefly  -, sw itch  off the  ignition  and 
make  sure  to  remove  the  ignition  key . Al
so  engage  the 
park ing br ake to  prevent 
your  vehicle  from  rolling  u nintentionally.

A WARNING 
- Always  pay  attention  to  traffic  even  when 
the  cruise  control  is switched  on.  You are 
always  responsible  for  your  speed  and 
the  distance  between  your  veh icle  and 
other  veh icles . 
- For safety  reasons,  the  cruise  control 
should  not  be  used  in the  city,  in stop
and-go  traffic,  on  twisting  roads  and 
when  road  conditions  are  poor  (such  as 
ice, fog , gravel,  heavy  rain  and  hydro
p laning)  - risk of  accident. 
- Turn  off  the  cruise  control  temporarily 
when  en ter ing  turn  lanes,  highway  exit 
lanes  or  in construction  zones . 
- Please  note  that  inadvertently  "resting" 
your  foot  on  the  accelerator  pedal  causes 
the  cruise  control  not  to  brake.  This  is  because  the  cruise  control  is overridden 
by the  driver's  acceleration. 
- Never  use  the  cruise  control  when  driving 
off-road  o r on  unpaved  roads.  The  cruise 
control  is  intended  for  use  only when  the 
vehicle  is  being  operated  on  paved  roads, 
and  is not  suitable  for  use  off-road  or  on 
unpaved  roads . 
(D Tips 
The  cruise  control  cannot  maintain  a  con
stant  speed  when  driving  downhill.  The  ve
hicle  will  accelerate  under  its  own  weight . 
Downshift  to  a  lower  gear  or  use  the 
brakes  to  slow  down.

On slopes,  activate  the  parking brake  first  and 
then  move  the  selector  lever  to  the  P position. 
This  prevents  too  much  stress  from  being 
placed  on  the  locking  mechanism. 
A WARNING 
- Unintended  vehicle  movement  can  cause 
serious  injury. 
- Never  leave your  vehicle  with  the  engine 
running  while  in gear. 
If you  must  leave 
your  veh icle  when  the  engine  is running, 
apply  the park ing  brake  firmly  and  move 
the  selector  lever  to  P. 
- Power  is  still  transmitted  to  the  wheels 
when  the  engine  is  running at  idle. To 
prevent  the  vehicle  from  "c reeping ", you 
must  keep your  foot  on  the  brake when 
the  engine  is running  and  the  selector 
lever  is in  D,  Sor  R or  "tiptronic"  mode  is 
selected. 
- Do  not press  the accelerator  pedal  when 
changing  the  se lector  lever  position 
while  the  vehicle  is stationary  and  the  engine  is  running. 
- Never  shift into  R  or  P while  driving. 
- Before  driving  down a steep  slope,  re-
duce  your  speed  and  shift  into  a  lower 
gear  with  "tiptronic". 
- Do  not  ride  the  brakes  or  press the  bra ke 
pedal  too  often  or  too  long when  driving 
down  a  hi ll.  Constant  braking  causes  the 
brakes  to  overheat  and  substantially  re
duces  braking  performance,  increases  braking  distance  or  causes  complete  fa il· 
ure  of  the  brake  system. 
- To prevent  the  vehicle  from  rolling back 
when  stopping  on  inclines,  always  hold  it 
in place  with  the  brake  pedal  or  parking 
brake .  .,..

Homelink 
Universal  remote 
control 
Description 
Applies  to  vehicles:  with  Home link 
The HomeLink  universal  remote  control can 
be programmed  with  the  remote  control for 
devices  that  are  already  present. 
With  Home Link, you  can  control  devices  such 
as  the  garage  door,  security  systems,  house 
lights , etc.  comfortably  from the  inside  of you 
vehicle. 
Homelink  makes it possible  for  you  to  rep lace 
three  different  remote  controls  from  devices 
in  your  home  with  one  universal  remote.  This 
feature  works  for  most  garage  door and  exte
rior door  motor  signals.  Programming  the  in
dividual  remote  control  for  your  remote  con 
trol  takes  place  on  the  left  side  of the  front  bumper.  There  is a control  module  attached  at 
this  location . 
A one-time  programming  of  the  sensor  must  be  performed  before  you  are  able  to  use sys
tems  with  Homelink.  If the  system  does  not  activate  after  performing  the  one-time  pro
gramming,  check  whether  the  system  uses  a rolling  code 
¢ page  163 . 
A WARNING 
-Never  use  the  Homelink transmitter 
with  any  garage  door  opener  that  does 
have  not  the safety  stop  and reverse  fea
ture  as  required  by federa l safety  stand
ards.  This  includes  any  garage  door  open
er  model  manufactured  before  April 1, 
1982. 
- A garage  door  opener  which  cannot  de
tect  an  object,  signaling  the  door  to  stop 
and  reverse  does  not  meet  current  feder
al safety  standards . Using  a  garage  door 
opener  without  these  features  increases 
risk of  serious  injury or  death. 
Homelink  161 
- For safety  reasons  never  release  the 
parking  brake  or  start  the  engine  while 
anyone  is standing  in front  of  the  vehicle . 
- A garage  door  or  an  estate  gate  may 
sometimes  be  set  in motion  when  the 
Homelink  remote  control  is being  pro
grammed.  If  the device  is repeatedly  ac
tivated,  th is can  overstrain  motor  and 
damage  its  electrical  components - an 
overheated  mo to r i s  a fire  hazard! 
- To avoid  possib le  injuries  or  property 
damage,  please  always  make  abso lutely 
certa in that  no persons  or  objects  are  lo
cated  in the  range  of  motion  of  any 
equipment  being  operated.
