DRIVING TIPS
Brake discs and brake pads only
reach their full effectiveness
after approx. 300 miles/500 km.
Drive moderately during this
break-in period.
Observe the break-in proce-
dures again, if components
mentioned above are replaced.Brake system

General driving notes
Closing the trunk lid
Safety information
WARNING
An open trunk lid protrudes from
the vehicle and can endanger
occupants and other traffic partici-
pants or damage the vehicle in
the event of an a ccident, braking
or evasive maneu vers. In addi-
tion, exhaust fumes may enter the
car's interior. There is a risk of
injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Do not drive with the trunk lid
open.
Ice on window glass
NOTICE
The window will be lowered
slightly when pulling on the door
handle. In the eve nt of frost, the
window may freeze up and not be
lowered. There is a risk of dam-
age to property. When pulling on
the door handle, make sure that
the window is lowered. If neces-
sary, remove snow and ice from
the window. Do not open the door
with force.
Hot exhaust gas system
WARNING
High temperatures can occur
underneath the body, for instance
caused by the exhaust gas sys-
tem, while driving. Contact with
the exhaust gas system can
cause burns. The re is a risk of
injury. Do not touch the hot
exhaust gas system, including the
exhaust pipe.
WARNING
If combustible materials, such as
leaves or grass, come in contact
with hot parts of the exhaust gas
system, these materials can
ignite. There is a risk of fire and
injuries. Do not r emove the heat
shields installed and never apply
undercoating to them. Make sure
that no combustible materials can
come in contact with hot vehicle
parts in driving operation, idle or
during parking.

2624-1. DRIVING TIPS
perforated brake discs can emit
functional noises. However,
functional noises have no effect
on the performance and opera-
tional reliability of the brake.
When roads are wet, salted, or
in heavy rain, gently press the
brake pedal every few miles.
Ensure that this action does not
endanger other traffic.
The heat generated during brak-
ing dries brake discs and brake
pads and protects them against
corrosion.
In this way braking efficiency will
be available when you need it.
■General information
Drive long or steep downhill gra-
dients in the gear that requires
least braking effort. Otherwise,
the brakes may overheat and
reduce brake efficiency.
You can increase the engine's
braking effect by shifting down,
going all the way to first gear, if
needed.
■Safety information
Corrosion on the brake discs
and contamination on the brake
pads are increased by the fol-
lowing circumstances:
 Low mileage.
 Extended periods when the
vehicle is not used at all.
Objects in the area around
the pedals
WARNING
Objects in the dri
ver's floor area
can limit the peda l distance or
block a depressed pedal. There is
a risk of an accident. Stow objects
in the vehicle such that they are
secured and cannot enter into the
driver's floor area. Use floor mats
that are suitable for the vehicle
and can be safely attached to the
floor. Do not use loose floor mats
and do not layer several floor
mats. Make sure that there is suf-
ficient clearance for the pedals.
Ensure that the floor mats are
securely fastened again after they
were removed, fo r instance for
cleaning.
Driving in wet conditions
Hills
WARNING
Light but consis tent brake pres-
sure can lead to high tempera-
tures, brakes wearing out and
possibly even brake failure. There
is a risk of an accident. Avoid
placing excessive stress on the
brake system.
WARNING
In idle state or with the engine
switched off, safety functions, for
instance engine braking effect,
braking assistance and steering
assistance, may not be available.
There is a risk of accident. Do not
attempt to drive in idle state or
with the engine switched off.

■Safety information
■General information
In a vehicle wash, the vehicle
must be able to roll freely.
To roll or push the vehicle, refer
to page 133.
Some vehicle washes do not
permit persons in the vehicle.
The vehicle cannot be locked
from the outside when in selec-
tor lever position N. A signal
sounds when an attempt is
made to lock the vehicle.
Make sure that the remote con-
trol is in the vehicle.
Switch on drive-ready state,
refer to page 46.
Do not rub wet lights dry and do
not use abrasive, acidic clean-
ing agents or cleaning agents
containing alcohol.
Soak areas that have been dirt-
ied, for instance from insects,
with shampoo and wash off with water.
Thaw ice with de-icing spray; do
not use an ice scraper.
After washing the vehicle, apply
the brakes briefly to dry them;
otherwise, braking action can be
reduced. The heat generated
during braking dries brake discs
and brake pads and protects
them against corrosion.
Completely remove all residues
on the windows, to minimize
loss of visibility due to smearing
and to reduce wiper noises and
wiper blade wear.
Regular care contributes to driv-
Driving into a vehicle wash

Safety information
WARNING
Cleansers can contain sub-
stances that are dangerous and
harmful to your health. There is a
risk of injury. When cleaning the
interior, open the doors or win-
dows. Only use products intended
for cleaning vehicles. Follow the
instructions on the container.

When cleaning the vehicle, use
only neutral wheel cleaners hav-
ing a pH value from 5 to 9. Do
not use abrasive cleaning
agents or steam jets above 140
°F/60 °C. Follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Aggressive, acidic or alkaline
cleaning agents can destroy the
protective layer of adjacent
components, such as the brake
disc.
After cleaning, apply the brakes
briefly to dry them. The heat
generated during braking dries
brake discs and brake pads and
protects them against corrosion.
Carefully clean components
such as the radiator grille or
door handles with plenty of
water, possibly with shampoo
added, particularly when they have been exposed to road salt.
Environmental influences can
cause surface soiling of rubber
parts and a loss of gloss. Use
only water and suitable cleaning
agents for cleaning.
Treat especially worn rubber
parts with rubber care agents at
regular intervals. When cleaning
rubber seals, do not use any sili-
con-containing vehicle care
products in order to avoid dam-
age or noises.
The wiper blades are cleaned by
using the washer system.
Avoid cleaning the wiper blades
manually, as this may reduce
wiper performance.
Clean with a microfiber cloth.
Dampen cloth lightly with water.
Do not soak the roofliner.
Safety information
NOTICE
Open hook-and-loop fasteners on
articles of clothing can damage
the seat covers. There is a risk of
damage to propert
y. Ensure that
any hook-and-loop fasteners are
closed.

NOTICE
Cleansers that contain alcohol or
solvents, such as lacquer thin-
