142Driving and operating
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

<=Shift to a higher gear.]=Shift to a lower gear.
If a higher gear is selected when
vehicle speed is too low, or a lower
gear when vehicle speed is too high,
the shift is not executed. This can
cause a message in the
Driver-Info-Display.
In manual mode no automatic shifting to a higher gear takes place at high
engine revolutions.
Electronic driving
programmes ■ Following a cold start, the operating
temperature programme increasesengine speed to quickly bring the

speeds may occur when driving uphill or downhill.
It is the responsibility of the driver to
comply with local posted speed limits.
For safety reasons the cruise control
cannot be activated until the foot

When the accelerator pedal is
released, the previously stored speed
is resumed.
Cruise control remains activated
while gearshifting.

camera system in the windscreen to
detect a vehicle directly ahead, in
your path, within a distance of approx.
60 metres.A vehicle ahead is indicated by a
control indicator A.
If a vehicle directly ahead is
approached too quickly, a warning
chime and alert in the Driver
