For example, this includes:
• Setting for the seat position.
• Suspension and climate con-trol settings.
If necessary, data can be trans-
ferred to the entertainment and
communication system of the
vehicle, e.g. via smartphone.
This includes the following
depending on the respective
equipment:
• Multimedia data such as music, films or photos for
playback in an integrated mul-
timedia system.
• Address book data for use in conjunction with an integrated
hands-free system or an inte-
grated navigation system.
• Entered navigation destina- tions.
• Data on the use of Internet services.
This data can be stored locally
in the vehicle or is found on a
device that has been connected
to the vehicle, e.g., a smart-
phone, USB stick or MP3 player.
If this data is stored in the vehi-
cle, it can be deleted at any
time.
This data is only transmitted to
third parties upon personal
request as part of the use of
online services. The transmis-
sion depends on the selected
settings for the use of the ser-
vices. Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, mobile devices connected
to the vehicle, for instance
smartphones, can be controlled
via the vehicle control elements.
The sound and picture from the
mobile device can be played
back and displayed through the
multimedia system. Certain
information is transferred to the
mobile device at the same time.
Depending on the type of incor-
poration, this includes, for
instance position data and other
general vehicle information. This
optimizes the way in which
selected apps, for instance navi-
gation or music playback, work.
There is no further interaction
between the mobile device and
the vehicle, for instance active
access to vehicle data.
How the data will be processed
further is determined by the pro-
vider of the particular app being
used. The extent of the possible
settings depends on the respec-
tive app and the operating sys-
tem of the mobile device.
If the vehicle has a wireless net-
work connection, this enables Incorporation of mobile end
devices

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The Adaptive variable suspen-
sion is a controllable sport chas-
sis/suspension. This system
reduces undesirable vehicle
motion when using a dynamic
driving style or traveling on
uneven road surfaces.
This enhances the driving
dynamics and driving comfort
depending on the road surface
condition and driving style.
The system offers several differ- ent damping settings.
The damping settings are
assigned to the different driving
modes of the Sport mode
switch, refer to page 131.

Winter and all-season tires with
better cold weather performance
than summer tires.
Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.12 in/3 mm, other-
wise there is an increased risk
of hydroplaning.
Do not drive with a tire tread of
less than 0.16 in/4 mm, as such
tires are less suitable for winter
operation. Wear indicators are distributed
around the tire's circumference
and have the legally required
minimum height of 0.063
inches/1.6 mm.
The positions of the wear indica-
tors are marked on the tire side-
wall with TWI, Tread Wear
Indicator.
Inspect your tires regularly for
damage, foreign objects lodged
in the tread, and tread wear.
Driving over rough or damaged
road surfaces, as well as debris,
curbs and other obstacles can
cause serious damage to
wheels, tires and suspension
parts. This is more likely to
occur with low-profile tires,
which provide less cushioning
between the wheel and the
road. Be careful to avoid road
hazards and reduce your speed,
especially if your vehicle is
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire
is established for a tire that is
properly inflated and not over-
loaded. Excessive speed, under-
inflation, or excessive loading,
either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.

7Stow the Mobility System in
the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum
permissible speed of 50 mph/80
km/h
Reset the Tire Pressure Monitor
TPM, refer to page 282.
Replace the nonworking tire and
the sealant container of the
Mobility System promptly.
Tire chains cannot be mounted.
Snow tires should be used
instead.
The system monitors tire infla-
tion pressure in the four
mounted tires. The system
warns you if there is a loss of
pressure in one or more tires. Sensors in the tire valves mea-
sure the tire inflation pressure
and tire temperature.
The system detects the
mounted tires automatically. The
system displays the specified
nominal pressure values on the
Control Display and compares
these values to the actual tire
pressure values.
If tires are being used that are
not specified on the tire inflation
pressure details on the vehicle,
refer to page 248, such as tires
with special approval, the sys-
tem needs to be actively reset.
The system will then take over
the actual tire inflation pressures
as the target pressures.
When operating the system,
also note the additional informa-
tion found in the Tire inflation
pressure, refer to page 248,
chapter.
