Seats and storag e
-The power front seats can a lso be adjusted
when the ignition is switched off. For this
reason, chi ldren should never be left unat­
tended i n the vehicle -they could be injured!
- E xercise caution when adjust ing the seat
he ight. Unsupe rvised or careless seat ad­
justment can pinch finge rs or hands caus ing
in ju ries .
- The front seat backrests must not be re­
clined too far back when driv ing, because
this impa irs the effect iveness of the safety
be lts and airbag system, w hich inc rea ses
the risk of i nju ry.
- T o m inimize the r isk of injury during s udden
b raking or a collision, the dr iver and the
front passe nger m ust not drive o r ride w ith
the backrest in the re clin ed position. The
safety belts and airbag system can on ly pro­
vide the greatest protection possib le w hen
the backrests are in the up right posit ion and
the safety belts are worn correctly. The
more a backrest is reclined , the greater the
risk of injury due to an i ncorrec t seating po­
sition and safety belt posit ion .

Driving
Avoid full acc ele ra tion
You sho uld rare ly travel at the maximum vehicle
speed . High speeds cause a disp roportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise . Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engi ne, for examp le when
at rai lro ad crossings or tr affic lights with longer
red lights . Stopping the engine for 30 -40 sec ­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to resta rt the engine.
It t akes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en­
g ine up to operating tempe ra ture . Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
p hase . Therefore, yo u should begin driving im ­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while do ing th is.
Have ma intenanc e performed r egularly
By having maintenance performed regular ly on
your vehicle, yo u can help to reduce f uel con­
sumpt ion before you even start to dr ive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l­
so impacts
fuel consumpt ion .
A poorly maintained engine can lead to fuel con­
sumpt ion that is 10% higher than normal.
A lso check the
oil le vel when refueling . The o il
consumption
depends large ly on the engine load
and speed. It is normal for the oil consumpt ion
of a new eng ine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can o nly be properly judged after
approx imately 3,000 m i (S,000 km) have been
d riven.
Avoid short trips
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach the ir opt imal
operating temperature to ef­
fectively red uce consumption and em iss ions.
A co ld engine uses a disproportionately h igh
amount of fuel. The engine reaches operating
temperature and consumpt io n normalizes only
afte r approximately
four kilometers.

(D Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights sho uld come on to
i ndicate imprope r operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
h eat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle o r other proper­
ty.
(D Note
- Have your ve hicle ma intained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
t ions i n your Warranty
& M aintenance book­
let. La ck of prope r mai nte na nce as we ll as
imp roper use o f the ve hicle will impa ir the
func tion of the emission cont ro l sys tem and
cou ld lead to damage.
- Do not alte r or remove any compone nt of
the Emission Contro l System unless ap ­
proved by the man ufacturer.
- Do not alte r or remove any dev ice, such as
heat shields, switches, ig nition w ires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Contro l System and other
important veh icle components.
(D Tips
The cons umption estimates as publishe d by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the r oad, which wi ll vary depending upon vehicle
l oad and speed, road a nd wea ther conditions,
tr ip length, etc.

Intelligent Technology
greater than the amount being generated in or­
der to maintain an optimal vehicle battery charge
level.
(D Tips
- Energy management cannot overcome the laws of physics. Note that the charge level
and length of the vehicle battery life are
limited.
- When the starting ability is jeopardized, the
(•j indicator light turns on¢ page 13.
What you should know
Maintaining the starting ability is the highest
priority.
A lot of stress is placed on the vehicle battery
when driving short distances, during city driving,
and at cold times of the year. A lot of energy is
used but little is generated. It is also critical
when the engine is not running but electrical
equipment is switched on. In this case, energy is used but none is generated .
In situations like this, energy management will
actively regulate the distribution of energy.
Long periods without use
If you do not drive your vehicle for several days or
weeks, electrical equipment is gradually scaled
back or switched off. This reduces energy use and
ensures the vehicle will be able to start after long
periods of time. Some convenience functions
such as opening with the remote control key may not be available . These convenience functions
will be available again once you switch the igni­ tion on and start the engine.
With the engine switched off
The vehicle battery will drain if you use Infotain­ ment functions such as listening to the radio
while the engine is switched off .
If the vehicle's ability to start may be impaired by
the energy use, a message will appear in the In­
fotainment system display. The message indi­ cates that the system will switch off automatical­ly soon .
If you would like to continue using the
functions, you must start the engine.
94
With the engine running
Although e lectrical energy is generated while
driving , the vehicle battery can drain . This can
happen if little energy is generated but much is
used, and the charge level of the vehicle battery
is not optimal.
To restore the balance of energy , components
that require large amounts of energy are tempo­
rarily scaled back or switched off. Heating sys­
tems in particular require a great deal of energy.
If you notice, for example, that the seat heating*
or rear window defroster is not working, then it has been temporarily reduced or switched off .
These systems are available again as soon as the energy supply has been restored.
In addition, you may notice that the idle speed
has slightly increased . That is normal and no
cause for concern . By increasing the idling speed ,
the additional required energy will be generated
and the vehicle battery will be charged.
Information about data
recorded by vehicle
control modules
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re­
corder . This device is installed by some vehicle
manufacturers to record data about crashes so
that it can be analyzed later. Crash data record­
ers are also called "Event Data Recorders (EDR)".
In some legal jurisdictions, it is not permitted to
access or download data recorded by pre-instal­
led crash data recorders in order to evaluate a
crash without clear consent of the vehicle owner.
Your vehicle is not equipped with a crash data re­
corder. However it does contain a variety of elec­
tronic control modules for various vehicle sys­
tems such as engine function, exhaust treatment
or airbags and safety belts.
These electronic control modules record vehicle
data during normal driving for diagnosis and re­
pair purposes. The recording capability of the
electronic control modules is limited to data only
- no sound is recorded. If the control module de­
tects a system malfunction or other change in
status, a very limited amount of data is recorded .,,.

Navig ation
(D Tips
- Distances to points of interest are shown as
a stra ight-line distance from the veh icle po­
sition. The actual distance from your current
l ocation to the point of interest is updated
automat ically . The list of found points of in­
terest is not resorted when this happens .
- There may be entries in the list that cannot
be d isplayed completely due to their length.
If you select these list entries using the con­
tro l knob , deta iled informa tion about t he
se lected list entry wi ll be shown automati ­
c al ly a fter several seconds .

Treadwear indicator
Original equipment tires contain
treadwear indicators in the tread pattern, which are bars that are
1/16 in (1.6 mm) high and are
spaced evenly around the tire per­
pendicular to the running direc­

indicators. Replace the tires with
new ones ¢.&.
Tire rotation
Rotating the tires regularly is rec­
ommended to ensure the tires

Hidden damage
Damage to tires and rims can of­
ten occur in locations that are hidden. Unusual vibrations in the
vehicle or pulling to one side may indicate that there is tire damage.
Reduce your speed immediately.
Check the tires for damage. If no
