Driving

62

Deactivate the rain sensor when

passing through an automatic car

wash. Failure to do so could result in dam-

age caused by undesired wiper activa-

tion.<

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.

Always keep it well away from sparks

and open flames, and store it in tightly

closed containers well out of the reach of

children. Always observe the instructions

for use provided on the containers.<

Washer fluid reservoir

Capacity approx. 5.3 US quarts/5 liters

Fill with water and – if required – with a

washer antifreeze, according to manufac-

turer's recommendations.

In order to keep to the mixture ratio,

mix the washer fluid before filling.<

Cruise control

The concept

The cruise control is available for use at

speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h and

higher. The vehicle maintains and stores

the speed that you set using the lever

mounted on the steering column.

Do not use the cruise control when

driving on winding roads, in heavy

traffic or in poor road conditions – e.g.

snow, rain, ice, loose road surface – that do

not permit a constant speed.<

One lever for all functions

1 Maintaining and storing speed,

accelerating

Press the lever up to the resistance point:

The system maintains and stores the cur-

rent vehicle speed. The display 1 in the

speedometer indicates this regulated

speed, refer to page 63. Every time you

briefly press the lever, the vehicle's speed

increases by roughly 1 mph/1 km/h.

Press the lever up to the resistance point

and hold it:

The vehicle accelerates without pressure

on the accelerator pedal. The system main-

tains and stores your current speed as

soon as you release the lever.

Press the lever beyond the resistance

point:

Increases the speed by 5 mph/10 km/h.

The vehicle may accelerate beyond the

regulated speed on steep downhill

stretches where the engine's braking effect

alone may not be sufficient to slow the

vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if

the engine output is insufficient.

2 Maintaining and storing speed,

decelerating

Pull the lever:

Functions are the same as 1, only the vehi-

cle speed is reduced.

3 Interrupting cruise control

With the cruise control active, briefly press

the lever up or down.
