WARNING Risk of bu rns and frostbite
due tobeing too close tothe air vents
Ve ry hot or very cold air can flow from the air
ve nts. #
Makesure that all vehicle occupants
alw ays maintain a suf ficient di stance
from the air vents. #
If necessa ry, direct the air flow to
ano ther area of theve hicle interior. To
guarantee theflow of fresh air thro ugh the air

fo llowing:
R Alw ayske ep theve nts and vent grilles in the
ve hicle interior free.
R Keep the air inlet free of residue build-up
(/ page 299). #
Toopen or close: holdthe air vent 1 inthe

Therefore, obser
vethefo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
considerab lyor result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts R
avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully
% Also obser vethe no tes on regular lych ecking
wheels and tyres (/ page 327).
Note s on driving through water on the road
sur face
Wa ter which has entered into theve hicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Wa ter can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Obser vethefo llowing if you must drive thro ugh
wate r:
R The water,when calm, may only reach the
lo we r edge of theve hicle body.
R Drive at a maximum speed of 10km/h;
wate r can otherwise enter theve hicle interior
or engine compartment.
R Vehicles tr avelling in front, or oncoming vehi‐
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible dep thofthewate r.
The braking ef fect of the brakes is reduced af ter
fo rd ing. Brake carefully while paying attention toth
e tra ffic conditions until braking po wer has
been fully restored. ECO

active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Notall information
and traf fic situations can be fore seen. The qual‐

ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready tobrake at
all times ir respective of whe ther the sy stem
