Control system*
Introduction
The control system is activated when you
turn the key in the starter switch to
position 1.
GWarning!
A driver’s attention to the road and traffic
conditions must always be his/her primary
focus when driving.
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should
select features and change settings in the
control system only vehicle at a standstill
or when traffic and road conditions permit
it to be done safely.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h ), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second.

You can select the displays in the
multifunction display and change settings
in the control system with the control
lever.

smart surround sound system*
The smart surround sound system
supplements the existing speakers with

(including a digital amplifier in the
passenger footwell and a passive
subwoofer).
Driving systems
Cruise control*
The cruise control maintains the speed you
set for your vehicle automatically. On
downhill grades, the cruise control does
not brake the vehicle via the brake system.
The cruise control can only use the braking
power of the engine. You must apply the
brakes yourself in order to reduce the
vehicle speed. The cruise control will then
be canceled.
GWarning!
The cruise control is a convenience system
designed to assist the driver during
vehicle operation. The cruise control
cannot take road, traffic, and weather
conditions into account. The driver is and
must always remain responsible for the
vehicle’s speed and for safe brake
operation.
Do not use the cruise control
Rif the road, traffic, and weather
conditions do not make it advisable to
travel at a constant speed
Ron slippery roads
Rapid changes in tire traction can result
in wheel spin and loss of control.
Rwhen driving in fog
The use of the cruise control is
recommended for driving at a constant
speed for extended periods of time.
With the cruise control is activated and a
speed set, the following message appears
in the multifunction display:
U.S. vehicles
\000FCruise control activated\000GSpeed has been set
Canada vehicles
\000FCruise control activated\000GSet speed
The cruise control is operated via buttons
on the steering wheel.

Auxiliary power outlet
The auxiliary power outlet supplies power
to the following electrical accessories
when the key is turned to starter switch
position 1:
R the cigarette lighter*, available in
conjunction with the ashtray*
R the electric air pump, available in
conjunction with the tire repair kit*
R other consumers which operate up to a
maximum of 60 W
! The auxiliary power outlet can
accommodate 12V DC electrical
accessories designed for use with the
standard “cigarette lighter” plug type.
Keep in mind, however, that connecting
accessories to the auxiliary power outlet
(for example extensive connecting and
disconnecting, or using plugs that do not
fit properly) can damage the auxiliary
power outlet. With the auxiliary power
outlet damaged, the cigarette lighter*
may no longer be able to be placed in the
heating (pushed-in) position, or may pop
out before it is hot enough.
The auxiliary power outlet is located in the
lower center console.

Please observe the safety instructions
given in the respective operating
instructions.
Please note that
R if using the auxiliary power outlet the
maximum current drawn may not exceed
5 A or 60 W
R the electric air pump can be connected
to the auxiliary power outlet for the time
it takes to inflate the tire without any
problem
R the vehicle battery will discharge when
current is drawn.Useful features115>> Controls.* optionalBA 451 USA, CA Edition A 2011; 1; 4, en-UShereepeVersion: 3.0.3.62010-05-11T15:12:26+02:00 - Seite 115Z

size designation, load and speed rating”
( Y page 139).
If you are uncertain about the correct
reading of the information given on a
tire’s sidewall, any authorized smart
center will be glad to assist you.
i For information on speed ratings for
winter tires, see “All-season and winter
tires” ( Y page 140).
Winter driving instructions
The most important rule for slippery or icy
roads is to drive sensibly and to avoid
abrupt acceleration, braking and steering
maneuvers.
When the vehicle is in danger of skidding,
move gear selector lever to neutral
position N. Try to keep the vehicle under
control by corrective steering action.
For information on driving with snow
chains*, see “Snow chains*” ( Y page 145).
GWarning!
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This
could result in drive wheel slip and
reduced vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS
will not prevent this type of loss of control.
Road salts and chemicals can adversely
affect braking efficiency. Increased pedal
force may become necessary to produce the
normal braking effect.
Depressing the brake pedal periodically
when traveling at length on salt-strewn
roads can bring road-salt-impaired
braking efficiency back to normal.
If the vehicle is parked after being driven
on salt-treated roads, the braking
efficiency should be tested as soon as
possible after driving is resumed.
GWarning!
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
GWarning!
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, make
sure snow is kept clear of the exhaust pipe
and from around the vehicle with the engine
running. Otherwise, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle
interior resulting in unconsciousness and
death.
To assure sufficient fresh air ventilation,
open a window slightly on the side of the
vehicle not facing the wind.
GWarning!
The outside temperature display is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that
purpose. Indicated temperatures just
above the freezing point do not guarantee
that the road surface is free of ice.
For more information, see “Winter driving”
( Y page 145).
Standing water
! Do not drive through flooded areas or
water of unknown depth. Before driving
through water, determine its depth.
Never accelerate before driving into
water. The bow wave could force water
into the engine and auxiliary
equipment, thus damaging them.
If you must drive through standing water,
drive slowly to prevent water from entering
the passenger compartment, the front
compartment, or the engine compartment.
Water in these areas could cause damage to
electrical components or wiring of the
engine or transmission, or could result in
water being ingested by the engine through
