WARNING
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to drive with duecare and attention.
Cruise control allows you to control yourspeed using the switches on the steeringwheel. You can use cruise control whenyou exceed approximately 20 mph (30km/h).
USING CRUISE CONTROL
WARNINGS
Do not use cruise control in heavytraffic, on winding roads or when theroad surface is slippery. This couldresult in loss of vehicle control, seriousinjury or death.
When you are going downhill, yourspeed may increase above the setspeed. The system will not apply thebrakes. Change down a gear to assist thesystem in maintaining the set speed.Failure to do so could result in loss ofvehicle control, serious injury or death.
Note:Cruise control will disengage if yourvehicle speed decreases more than 10 mph(16 km/h) below your set speed whiledriving uphill.
The cruise controls are located on thesteering wheel.
Switching Cruise Control On
Press and release ON.
The indicator will display in theinstrument cluster.
Setting a Speed
1.Accelerate to the desired speed.
2.Press and release SET+.
3.Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal.
Changing the Set Speed
•Press and hold SET+ or SET-. Releasethe control when you reach the desiredspeed.
•Press and release SET+ or SET-. Theset speed will change in approximately1 mph (2 km/h) increments.
•Press the accelerator or brake pedaluntil you reach the desired speed. Pressand release SET+.
Canceling the Set Speed
Press and release CAN, or tap the brakepedal. The set speed will not be erased.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine TOWING A TRAILER
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).This could result in the loss of vehiclecontrol, serious personal injury ordeath.
The rear tire pressures must beincreased by 3 psi (0.2 bar) abovespecification. Do not exceed themaximum pressure stated on the tiresidewall. This could cause serious personalinjury. See Wheels and Tires (page 174).
Do not exceed the maximum grosstrain weight stated on your vehicleidentification plate. This could resultin the loss of vehicle control, seriouspersonal injury or death. See VehicleIdentification Plate (page 186).
Do not exceed the maximumpermissible trailer nose weight(vertical weight on the tow ball) asstated in the vehicle specification chart.This could result in the loss of vehiclecontrol, serious personal injury or death.See Capacities and Specifications(page 186).
The anti-lock braking system doesnot control the overrun brake on thetrailer. This could result in the loss ofvehicle control, serious personal injury ordeath.
When towing a trailer:
•Obey country specific regulations fortowing a trailer.
•Do not exceed 62 mph (100 km/h)even if a country allows higher speedsunder certain conditions.
•Place loads as low as possible andcentral to the axle of your trailer. If youare towing with an unladen vehicle, theload in your trailer should be placedtoward the nose, within the maximumnose load, as this gives the beststability. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 186).
•The trailer nose weight (vertical weighton the tow ball), is essential for thedriving stability of your vehicle andtrailer.
•The vertical weight on the tow ballshould be at least 4% of the trailerweight and not exceed the maximumpermissable weight. See Capacitiesand Specifications (page 186).
•Reduce speed immediately if the trailershows any sign of swaying.
•Use a low gear when descending asteep downhill gradient.
Note:The maximum permissible trailernose weight on the trailer identificationplate is the trailer manufacturer’s testingvalue. The vehicle maximum permissibletrailer nose weight may be lower.
The stability of your vehicle to trailercombination is very much dependent onthe quality of the trailer.
Towing a trailer changes the vehiclehandling characteristics and increasesstopping distances. Adapt your speed anddriving behavior to the load of the trailer.
The gross train weight stated on thevehicle identification plate applies for roadgradients up to 12% and altitudes up to3281 feet (1000 meters) when towing atrailer. In mountainous regions the engineperformance decreases due to lower airdensity with increasing altitude. In highaltitude regions above 3281feet (1000metres), the stipulated maximumpermitted gross train weight must bereduced by 10% for every extra 3281 feet(1000 metres).

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine GENERAL INFORMATION
A decal with tire pressure data is locatedin the driver’s door opening.
Check and set the tire pressure at theambient temperature in which you areintending to drive your vehicle and whenthe tires are cold.
Note:Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy.
Note:Use only approved wheel and tiresizes. Using other sizes could damage yourvehicle and will make the National TypeApproval invalid.
Note:If you change the diameter of the tiresfrom that fitted at the factory, thespeedometer may not display the correctspeed. Take your vehicle to an authorizeddealer to have the engine managementsystem reprogrammed.
Note:If you intend to change the size of thewheels from that fitted at the factory, checkthe suitability with an authorized dealer.
TEMPORARY MOBILITY KIT
Your vehicle may not have a spare tire.Therefore you will have a temporarymobility kit which will only repair onedamaged tire.
The kit is located in the spare wheel well.
General Information
WARNINGS
Depending on the type and extent oftire damage, some tires can only bepartially sealed or not sealed at all.Loss of tire pressure can affect vehiclehandling, leading to loss of vehicle control.
Do not use the kit on a previouslydamaged tire, for example when ithas been driven under inflated.
WARNINGS
Do not use the kit on run flat tires.
Do not try to seal damage to thetire’s sidewall.
The kit seals most tire punctures [with adiameter of up to ¼ inch (six millimeters)]to temporarily restore mobility.
You must observe the following rules whenusing the kit:
•Drive with caution and avoid makingsudden steering or driving manoeuvres,especially if your vehicle is heavilyladen or you are towing a trailer.
•The kit will provide you with anemergency temporary repair, enablingyou to continue your journey to the nextvehicle or tire dealer, or to drive amaximum distance of 125 miles(200 kilometers).
•Do not exceed a maximum speed of50 mph (80 km/h).
•Keep the kit out of the reach ofchildren.
•Only use the kit when the ambienttemperature is between -40°F(–40°C) and +158°F (+70°C).
Using the Kit
WARNINGS
Compressed air can act as anexplosive or propellant.
Never leave the kit unattended whilein use.
Do not keep the compressoroperating for more than 10 minutes.
You must only use the kit for thevehicle with which it was supplied.

WARNINGS
Do not exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Do not use snow chains on snow-freeroads.
Only fit snow chains to specifiedtires. See Technical Specifications(page 183).
If your vehicle has wheel trims,remove them before fitting snowchains.
Note:The anti-lock braking system willcontinue to operate normally.
Only use small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with Stability Control
When stability control is on, your vehiclemay exhibit some unusual drivingcharacteristics. To reduce this, switchtraction control off. See Using StabilityControl (page 111).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNINGS
The system does not relieve you ofyour responsibility to regularly checkthe tire pressures.
The system will only provide a lowtire pressure warning. It will notinflate the tires.
WARNINGS
Do not drive on significantlyunder-inflated tires. This may causethe tires to overheat and fail.Under-inflation reduces fuel efficiency, tiretread life and may also affect your abilityto drive your vehicle safely.
Do not bend or damage the valveswhen you are inflating the tires.
Have tires installed by an authorizeddealer.
The deflation detection system will alertyou if there is a change of air pressure inany tire. It does this by using the anti-lockbraking sensors to detect the rollingcircumference of the wheels. When thecircumference changes, this indicates lowtire pressure. A warning message isdisplayed in the information display andthe message indicator will illuminate. SeeInformation Messages (page 67).
If a low pressure warning message isdisplayed in the information display, checkthe tire pressures as soon as possible andinflate them to the recommendedpressure. See Technical Specifications(page 183).
If this happens frequently, have the causedetermined and rectified as soon aspossible.
Apart from a too low tire pressure or adamaged tire, the following situations canaffect the rolling circumference:
•Vehicle load is uneven.
•When using a trailer or traveling up anddown an incline.
•Using snow chains.
•Driving on soft surfaces such as snowor mud.
Note:The system will still functioncorrectly, but there may be an increaseddetection time.
