The glass may shatter in the event of an ac-
cident.
If you or other occupants are not wearing
your seat belt, there is a risk of being thrown
out of the opening in the event of the vehicle
overturning. Therefore, always wear a seat
belt to reduce the risk of injuries.

there is an increased risk of injury even for
occupants who have fastened their seat
belts correctly, as their head or limbs could
be thrust through the opening.

\3 Driving systemsDriving systems which may form part of
your vehicle are described on the following
pages:
\4Cruise control* (\2page 147), which
you can use to control the speed of
your vehicle
\4Parktronic system*, which is an aid for
parking and maneuvering
(\2page 150)
\4Reverse warning feature*, which helps
you ensure the safety of other road us-
ers (\2page 153)
The ABS, BAS, ESP
®, ASR and EBV driving
safety systems are described in the "Safe-
ty and Security" section (\2page 23).Cruise control maintains the speed of the
vehicle for you.
Use cruise control if road and traffic condi-
tions make it appropriate to maintain a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You
can store any road speed above 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Cruise control*iThe increments for setting speed and
the threshold values for switching on or
automatically switching off cruise con-
trol depend on the digital speedometer
setting, mph or km/h (\2page 99).Warning
G
The cruise control function cannot take ac-
count of road and traffic conditions.
Always pay attention to road and traffic
conditions, even when cruise control is acti-
vated.
Cruise control is only an aid designed to as-
sist driving. You are responsible for the vehi-
cle’s speed and for braking in good time.
If there is a change of drivers, advise the
new driver of the cruising speed that is
stored.Warning
G
Do not use cruise control:
\4if road and traffic conditions do not per-
mit a constant driving speed to be main-
tained (e.g. heavy traffic or winding
roads). You could otherwise cause an
accident.
\4on slippery roads. The drive wheels may
lose their grip when braking or acceler-
ating and the vehicle could skid
\4when visibility is poor, e.g. in fog, heavy
rain or snow

Cruise control is activated and adjusts
the vehicle’s speed to the last speed
stored.
iCruise control may be unable to main-
tain the stored speed on uphill or down-
hill gradients. The stored speed is
resumed if the gradient evens out and
the vehicle’s speed has not fallen below
20 mph (30 km/h).

Warning
G
Only resume the stored speed if you know
what this speed is and the current situation
is appropriate to do so. Otherwise, sudden
acceleration or braking could endanger you
or others.iWhen you pull the cruise control lever in
direction of arrow 2 for the first time
after starting the engine, cruise control
is switched on and the speed at which
you are currently driving is stored.

Deactivating cruise control
There are various ways of deactivating

forward4.
or
\1Apply the brakes.
The last speed set remains stored.Warning
G
The rate at which you increase the speed in
1 mph increments (1 km/h increments) may
be faster than your vehicle is able to accel-
erate. Your vehicle may then continue to ac-
celerate up to the newly set speed even
after you have released the cruise control le-
ver.
Only increase the speed if the current situa-
tion is appropriate to do so. Sudden acceler-
ation could otherwise endanger you and
others.
iCruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. If you ac-
celerate briefly to overtake, for exam-
ple, cruise control adjusts the vehicle’s
speed to the last speed stored after you
have finished overtaking.iThe last speed stored is cleared when
you switch off the engine.
