Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Breaking-in period above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life. General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. General driving notes The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. Closing the tailgate Engine and differential Only operate the vehicle with the tailgate closed; otherwise, exhaust fumes could enter the passenger compartment.
Use this area for garage door openers, devices for electronic toll collection, etc. Do not exceed this water depth and walking speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec‐ trical systems and the transmission may be damaged.◀ Braking safely Climate control laminated tinted safety glass Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. The vehicle glass provides full protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin.
Things to remember when driving You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down in the manual mode of the auto‐ matic transmission, refer to page 72. Avoid load on the brakes Avoid placing excessive load on the brake system. Light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and pos‐ sibly even brake failure.◀ Do not drive in neutral Do not drive in neutral or with the engine stopped, as doing so disables engine braking.
▷ Larger and heavy objects: secure with cargo straps*. Cargo straps can be attached to four lashing eyes located in the trunk. Securing cargo The maximum load is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported. Stowing cargo Always position and secure the cargo as described above; otherwise, it can endanger the car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving becomes necessary.
Things to remember when driving Anchorage points Saving fuel General information Your vehicle contains advanced technology for the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐ sions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐ ferent factors. Fold the cover outward. Mounting Be sure that adequate clearance is maintained for raising and opening the glass sunroof*.
At a glance Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces fuel consumption. Controls Use coasting conditions When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. Driving tips On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the ac‐ celerator and let the vehicle roll. The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
