Prevent water from entering the vehicle inte-
rior or the engine compartment. If you must
drive through standing water, bear in mind
that:
Rthe water level should not exceed the lower
edge of the vehicle body in still water
Ryou should drive no faster than at walking
pace.
Winter driving
GWARNING
If you shift down on a slippery road surface
in an attempt to increase the engine's
braking effect, the drive wheels could lose
their grip. There is an increased danger of
skidding and accidents.
Do not shift down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface.
GDANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous
gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) may
enter the vehicle. This is the case, e.g. if
the vehicle becomes trapped in snow. There
is a risk of fatal injury.
If you have to leave the engine running,
keep the exhaust pipe and the area around
the vehicle free of snow. To ensure an ade- quate supply of fresh air, open a window on
the side of the vehicle that is not facing
into the wind.
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a quali-
fied specialist workshop at the onset of win-
ter.
Drive particularly carefully on slippery road
surfaces. Avoid sudden acceleration, steer-
ing and braking maneuvers. Do not use cruise
control.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
XTry to bring the vehicle under control
using corrective steering.
XVehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position N.The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freez-
ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
You should pay special attention to road con-
ditions when temperatures are around freez-
ing point.
For more information on driving with snow
chains, see (
Ypage 179).
For more information on driving with summer
tires, see (
Ypage 179).
Observe the notes in the "Winter operation"
section (
Ypage 179).
Driving systems
Cruise control
General notes
Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. Cruise control does not brake
the vehicle automatically. Only the engine's
braking effect is available. In order to
reduce speed and maintain distance to other
road users, you need to brake yourself. This
interrupts cruise control.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic
conditions make it appropriate to maintain a steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
use cruise control at speeds above 20 mph
(30 km/h).
Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise
control can neither reduce the risk of an
accident nor override the laws of physics.
Cruise control cannot take into account road,
weather or traffic conditions. Cruise control
is only an aid. You are responsible for the
distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time and for stay-ing in lane.
Driving systems105
>> Driving and parking.
Z

Do not use cruise control:
Rin road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed e.g.
in heavy traffic or on winding roads
Ron slippery road surfaces. Braking or
accelerating could cause the drive wheels
to lose traction and the vehicle could then
skid
Rwhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due to
fog, heavy rain or snow
If there is a change of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.

Activating cruise control
Cruise control must be activated before it can
be used.
XPress switch 0043(ON).
Cruise control is activated.
The 0085 symbol appears in the multifunc-
tion display.
iWhen you switch off the engine, cruise
control remains activated and the last
speed stored is cleared.
Storing and maintaining the current
speed
While cruise control is active, you can set the
current speed starting from 20 mph (30 km/h).
XAccelerate the vehicle to the desired
speed.
XPress switch 0044(®) and release it.
XRemove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
Cruise control is activated. The vehicle
automatically maintains the stored speed.
0085 SET
is shown in the multifunction
display.
iCruise control may be unable to maintain
the stored speed on uphill gradients. The
stored speed is resumed when the gradient
evens out.
On downhill gradients, only the engine's
braking effect is available. You have to
operate the brakes yourself to reduce
speed. This interrupts cruise control.
Calling up the last speed stored
GWARNING
If you call up the stored speed and it is
different to the current speed, the vehicle
will accelerate. If you are not aware of the
stored speed, the vehicle may accelerate
unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the road and traffic con-
ditions before calling up the stored speed. If you do not know the stored speed, store
the desired speed again.
XPress button 0087° and release it.
Cruise control is activated and adjusts the vehicle's speed to the last speed stored.
XRemove your foot from the accelerator
pedal.
iWhen you switch off the engine, the last
speed stored is cleared.
Increasing or decreasing the speed
In order to be able to increase or decrease the
speed, a speed must already have been stored.
iCruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. For exam-
ple, if you accelerate briefly to overtake,
cruise control adjusts the vehicle's speed
to the last speed stored after you have fin-
ished overtaking.

Parking aid
General notes
The rear parking aid uses an acoustic signal
to indicate the distance between your vehicle
and an obstacle. If you engage reverse gear
while the engine is running, the parking aid is activated automatically.
The parking aid uses three sensors 0043in the
rear bumper to monitor the area behind your
vehicle. The sensors must be free from dirt,
ice or slush. They can otherwise not function
correctly. Clean the sensors regularly, tak-
ing care not to scratch or damage them.
When reverse gear is engaged the system
measures the distance between your vehicle
and an object. If the proximity to the object
behind the vehicle is less than 4.0 ft (1.20 m)
a beeping sound is issued. As the distance to
the object decreases the frequency increa-
ses. When the object is a maximum of 1.0 ft
(30 cm) a continuous tone is issued.
Important safety notes
The parking aid feature is only intended as an
aid. It is not a replacement for your attention
to your immediate surroundings. You are
always responsible for safe maneuvering,
parking and exiting a parking space. When
maneuvering, parking or pulling out of a
parking space, make sure that there are no
persons, animals or objects in the area in
which you are maneuvering.
!When parking, pay particular attention to
objects above or below the sensors, such as
flower pots or trailer drawbars. The park-
ing aid does not detect such objects if they
are in the immediate vicinity of the vehi-
cle. You could damage the vehicle or the
objects.
The sensors may not detect snow and other
objects that absorb ultrasonic waves.
Ultrasonic sources such as an automatic car
wash, the compressed-air brakes of a truck
or a pneumatic drill could cause the park-
ing aid to malfunction.
The parking aid may not function correctly
on uneven terrain.
