You can improve your fuel economy and help to
reduce emissions by using a combination of the
coasting mode (i.e. coasting with low fuel con­
sumption on a longer stretch of road) and the
overrun fuel cut-off (i.e. using the engine brak­
ing effect with no fuel consumption on a shorter
stretch of road).
A WARNING
- If you are approaching an obstruction when
coasting mode is switched on, please re­
member that the vehicle will not slow down
as quickly as usual when you take your foot
off the accelerator -risk of accident!
- The vehicle can pick up speed if you are driv­
ing down a slope in coasting mode -risk of
accident!

Fig. 88 Speed limiter: illustration
At speeds above approximately 30 km/h, the
speed limiter helps prevent the driver from ex-
82 ceeding
a set speed. The indicator lamp�
lights
up as soon as you switch on the speed limiter.
Speed limiter displays
@ -The speed limiter is activated, and the cur­
rent vehicle speed is below the speed limiter set­
ting.
@ -The speed limiter is activated, and the vehi­
cle is maintaining the set speed. The indicator
lamp �
flashes briefly when the speed limiter is
applied.
© -When the accelerator pedal is pressed to the
kick-down position, the function is deactivated
and the speed limiter is switched off. The letters
� @flash as soon as the set speed is exceeded.
_& WARNING
Always switch the speed limiter off after use
to prevent it from being activated uninten­
tionally.
- Even when using the speed limiter, the driv­
er maintains full responsibility for control­
ling the vehicle's speed.
- Using the speed limiter in adverse weather
is dangerous and can result in a serious acci­
dent if you encounter heavy rain, snow, ice,
wet leaves etc. You should only use the
speed limiter if the road conditions and
weather allow you to do so safely.
- Only accelerate quickly or use the kick-down
feature when the visibility and weather con­
ditions are suitable, and when the road and
traffic conditions allow you do do so safely.
CD CAUTION
Before driving down a long, steep gradient, it
is advisable to reduce speed and move these­
lector lever to a lower gear. In this way you
will make use of the engine braking effect and
relieve the load on the brakes.

Indicator lamps
• Ready: The indicator Lamp Lights up when the
system is fully functional. The system is ready to
intervene .
• Not ready: The indicator Lamp Lights up when
the system is switched on but not ready to inter­
vene. The causes for this can include the follow­
ing:
- There are no Lane markings.
- The system cannot detect the relevant Lane
markings (e.g. temporary markings for road
works or markings obscured by snow, dirt, rain
or adverse Light).
- The vehicle's speed is below 65 km/h, the
speed at which the Lane assist system is activa­
ted (the threshold may vary in different export
markets).
- The Lane is narrower than 2.1 m or wider than
5.5 m.
- The bend is too tight.
- You have taken your hands off the steering
wheel.
@ Note
- Make sure that the camera window

Information mode
As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel­
evant exterior mirror will light up at low intensi­
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor­
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit­
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General

Electro-mechanical
power steering
Electro-mechanical power steering assists the
driver when steering.
The degree of power assistance is adapted elec­
tronically, depending on the speed.
If the power steering should fail at any time or
the engine is switched off (for instance when be­
ing towed), the car can still be steered. However,
substantially more effort than normal will be re­
quired to turn the steering wheel.
Warning/indicator lamps and driver
messages
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
If the warning lamp lights up permanently and
the message appears, there may be a power
steering failure.
Do NOT drive on. Obtain professional assistance.
• Steering: fault. Please stop vehicle
There is a malfunction in the electronic steering
lock. The ignition can no longer be switched on.
Do not have the vehicle towed away, because you
won't be able to steer it. Obtain professional as­
sistance.

fault. You can continue driving
If the indicator lamp lights up, the steering re­
sponse may be heavier or lighter than usual. In
addition, it is possible that the steering wheel
will be off centre when driving in a straight line.

A WARNING
Have the system malfunction repaired by a
qualified workshop as soon as possible -risk
of accident!
«]} Note
You can drive on if the warning/indicator lamp
• or mJ lights up only briefly.
Brakes
New brake pads
New brake pads do not give full braking effect for
the first 400 km, they must first be "bedded in".
However, you can compensate for the slightly re­
duced braking effect by applying more pressure
on the brake pedal. Avoid placing a heavy load on
the brakes during the running-in period.
Wear The rate of wear on the brake pads depends a
great deal on how you drive and the conditions in
which the vehicle is operated. Negative factors
are, for instance, city traffic, frequent short trips
or hard driving with abrupt starts and stops.
Noises Brake noise may develop in certain situations, de­
pending on the speed, braking force and ambient
conditions (such as temperature and relative hu­
midity).
Effect of moisture and salt
In certain conditions, such as in heavy rain, or af­
ter washing the car or driving through water, the
full braking effect can be delayed by moisture (or
in winter by ice) on the discs and brake pads. The
brakes should be "dried" by pressing the pedal to
restore full braking effect.
When you are driving at higher speeds with the
windscreen wipers on, the brake pads are very
briefly brought into contact with the brake discs.
This automatic process which goes unnoticed by
the driver is carried out at regular intervals and is
intended to improve braking response in wet con-
ditions. ..,..
