Seats, restraints35
Stow head restraints securely in load
compartment.
Active head restraints
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically
tilt forwards. Thus the head is
supported so that the risk of whiplash
injury is reduced.
Note
Do not attach objects or components
that are not approved for your
vehicle to the head restraints. These affect the protective effect of the
head restraints and can be propelled
through the vehicle in an
uncontrolled manner if the driver
brakes hard or an accident occurs.
Note
Approved accessories may only be
attached if the seat is not in use.Front seats
Seat position9 Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
■ Sit with buttocks as far back against
the backrest as possible. Adjust the distance between the seat and the
pedals so that legs are slightly
angled when pressing the pedals.
Slide the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
■ Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do not
angle the backrest too far back. We recommend a maximum rake of
approximately 25°.
■ Adjust the steering wheel 3 73.
■ Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on allsides and of all display instruments.
There should be at least one hand
of clearance between head and the
roof frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without pressing
into it.
■ Adjust the head restraint 3 34.
■ Adjust the height of the seat belt 3 42.
■ Adjust the lumbar support so that it
supports the natural shape of the
spine.

110LightingRear fog lights
Operated with the r button.
Control indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster when the rear fog light is switched on.
The rear fog light can only be
switched on when the ignition is on
and the light switch is in position 9,
or the front fog lights are on and the
light switch is in position 8.
Light switch in position AUTO:
switching on rear fog light will switch
on low beam and sidelights
automatically.
The vehicle rear fog light is
deactivated when towing.
Parking lights
When the vehicle is parked, the
parking lights on one side can be
activated:
1. Set light switch to 7 or AUTO .
2. Switch off ignition.
3. Move turn signal lever all the way up (right parking lights) or down
(left parking lights).
Confirmed by a signal tone and the
corresponding turn signal control
indicator.
To deactivate, switch on the ignition or move the turn signal lever in the
opposite direction.
Reversing lights The reversing lights come on when
the ignition is on and reverse gear is
selected.
Centre high-mounted brake light
Illuminates when the brakes are
applied, acting as a third stop light, to supplement the brake lights.
Misted light covers The inside of the light housing may
mist up briefly in poor, wet and cold weather conditions, in heavy rain or
after washing. The mist disappears
quickly by itself; to help switch on the
headlights.

130Driving and operating
D=drive position (automatic
mode)1-6=selected gear in manual mode
Selector lever
P=park position, wheels are
locked, engage only when the
vehicle is stationary and the
electrical parking brake is
appliedR=reverse gear, engage only
when vehicle is stationaryN=neutral or idleD=drive position (automatic mode
with all gears)The selector lever is locked in position
P and N and can only be moved when
the ignition is on and the foot brake is applied.
To engage P or R, push the release
button.
Never shift to P or R while the vehicle
is moving.
The engine can only be started with
lever in position P or N. Depress foot
brake or apply electrical parking
brake before starting.
Do not accelerate while engaging a
gear. Never depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal at the same
time.
When a gear is engaged, the vehicle
slowly begins to creep when the foot
brake is released.
Engine braking To utilise the engine braking effect,
select a lower gear in good time when
driving downhill - see Manual mode.
Use of the engine braking effect, as
opposed to the use of the foot brake
when driving downhill, can extend the
life of the brakes.Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only
permissible if the vehicle is stuck in
water, ice, sand, mud, snow or a dip.
Move the selector lever between D
and R in a repeat pattern while
applying light pressure to the
accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in gear. Do not race the engine and
avoid sudden acceleration.
If the vehicle cannot be released after
rocking the vehicle several times,
your vehicle may need to be towed
3 188.
Parking
Apply the electrical parking brake and engage P.
The ignition key can only be removed
when the selector lever is in position
P .

134Driving and operatingDrive systems
All-wheel drive All-wheel drive is an active-on-
demand system that engages
automatically, with no action required
by the driver. Depending on the
driving environment, the vehicle
switches between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive, to give the
vehicle more traction and stability
when necessary.
If the front wheels begin to slip, the
rear wheels will automatically begin to drive the vehicle as required. More
torque is transferred to the wheels
that have the most traction, so the
vehicle has optimum grip at all times. There may be a slight engagement
noise during hard use.
As well as enabling the vehicle to be
driven off-road, this system also
enables the vehicle to be driven on
normal roads without incurring
excessive tyre and drivetrain wear or
causing poor control.Ensure tyres (including the spare) are
inflated to the correct pressure
3 207 and are suitable for the
prevailing road conditions. For
optimum system performance, the
vehicle's tyres should not have
varying degrees of wear.
If control indicator B flashes in the
instrument cluster during driving, All- wheel drive is temporarily disabled. If B flashes continuously, there is a fault
in the system; seek the assistance of
a workshop.
All-wheel drive control indicator B
3 86.
On-road driving The increased traction of All-wheel
drive vehicles offers greater driving
control in adverse road conditions,
particularly heavy snow and ice.
However, All-wheel drive vehicles are
not "skid-proof" and do not decrease
stopping distances.
All-wheel drive vehicles have a higher
centre of gravity than conventional
vehicles. Always approach curves at
an appropriate driving speed. Do notattempt to go as fast through turns as
you might in a conventional vehicle.
Strong crosswinds can affect the normal steering of the vehicle. Drive
slower under strong crosswind
conditions.
Off-road driving ■ Avoid protruding objects (such as rocks or tree stumps) that maydamage the underbody and tyres of
your vehicle.
■ Test the brakes after operating in mud, to clear excess mud from the
braking surfaces.
■ Grip the steering wheel when travelling over rough terrain.
Terrain conditions can cause rapid
and unexpected movement in the
steering.
The ground clearance, ramp angle,
angle of approach and departure and wading depth need to be considered,
especially in hilly conditions and
when wading, to prevent the vehicle
becoming stuck and possibly
damaged.
