Lamps To avoid blinding oncoming traffic, the adaptive light control directs light towards the front pas‐ senger side when the vehicle is at a standstill. When driving in reverse, only the turning lamp is active. Self-leveling headlights The self-leveling headlights feature adapts the light distribution to the contours of the road. The light distribution is lowered on hilltops to avoid blinding oncoming traffic and tilted in de‐ pressions to increase visibility.
General information ▷ When the windshield in front of the interior rearview mirror is fogged over, dirty or cov‐ ered with stickers, etc. The interior lamps, footwell lamps, entry lamps and courtesy lamps are controlled automati‐ cally. Camera The brightness of some of these lamps is influ‐ enced by the thumbwheel for the instrument lighting. At a glance ▷ At low speeds. Controls Interior lamps Keep the area in front of the interior rearview mirror clear.
Safety Safety Airbags 1 Front airbag, driver 4 Side airbag 2 Front airbag, front passenger 5 Knee airbags 3 Head airbag Front airbags Knee airbag Front airbags help protect the driver and front passenger by responding to frontal impacts in which safety belts alone cannot provide ade‐ quate restraint. The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal impact. Side airbags In a lateral impact, the side airbag supports the side of the body in the chest and lap area.
▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jack‐ ets, over the backrests. ▷ Make sure that occupants keep their heads away from the side airbag and do not rest against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries can occur if the airbags are triggered. ▷ Do not remove the airbag restraint system. ▷ Do not remove the steering wheel. ▷ Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐ bag cover panels, cover them or modify them in any way. ▷ Never modify either the individual compo‐ nents or the wiring in the airbag system.
Safety Child restraint fixing system in the front passenger seat Before transporting a child on the front passen‐ ger seat, see the safety notes and instructions under Children on the front passenger seat.◀ Malfunction of the automatic deactivation system When transporting older children and adults, the front passenger airbags may be deactivated in certain sitting positions. In this case, the indica‐ tor lamp for the front passenger airbags lights up.
The concept The tire inflation pressure is measured in the four mounted tires. The system notifies you if there is a significant loss of pressure in one or more tires. Functional requirements Status display The tire and system status is indicated by the color of the tires. A change in the tire inflation pressure during driving is taken into account.
Safety For Canadian models: additional information The status display additionally shows the cur‐ rent tire inflation pressures and tire tempera‐ tures. When correcting the tire inflation pressures, note the following: The tire pressure increases as the tire temper‐ ature increases. ▷ The system was not reset after a wheel change and thus warns based on the infla‐ tion pressures initialized last. 1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2.
Possible driving distance with complete loss of tire inflation pressure: The possible driving distance after a loss of tire inflation pressure depends on the cargo load and the driving style and conditions. For a vehicle containing an average load, the possible driving distance is approx. 50 miles/ 80 km. When the vehicle is driven with a damaged tire, its handling characteristics change, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance, and altered self-steering properties.
Safety or more of your tires is significantly under-in‐ flated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.

Driving stability control systems Driving stability control systems Antilock Brake System ABS ABS prevents locking of the wheels during brak‐ ing. The vehicle remains steerable even during full brake applications, thus increasing active safety. ABS is operational every time you start the en‐ gine. Brake assistant When you apply the brakes rapidly, this system automatically produces the maximum braking force boost. It thus helps to achieve the shortest possible braking distance during full braking.
The DTC system is a version of the DSC in which forward momentum is optimized. The system ensures maximum forward momen‐ tum on special road conditions, e.g., unplowed snowy roads, but driving stability is limited. It is therefore necessary to drive with appropri‐ ate caution. You may find it useful to briefly activate DTC un‐ der the following special circumstances: ▷ When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads. While you are actively braking, the system is on standby.
Driving stability control systems Dynamic Drive* Activating HDC The concept Dynamic Drive reduces the lateral inclination of the vehicle that occurs during rapid driving in curves or during quick evasive maneuvers. Press the button; the LED above the but‐ ton lights up. Driving stability and driving comfort are in‐ creased under all driving conditions. The system utilizes active stabilizer bars on the front and rear axles that react immediately to all driving situa‐ tions.
The concept Integral Active Steering is a combination of Ac‐ tive Steering and rear axle steering. Active Steering varies the steering angle of the wheels in relation to the steering wheel move‐ ment as a function of the speed. At speeds up to approx. 37 mph/60 km/h, e.g., in curves, the steering angle is increased, i.e., steering becomes more direct. The rear axle steering acts to increase maneu‐ verability by turning the rear wheels slightly in a direction opposite to the front wheels.

Things to remember when driving Things to remember when driving Breaking-in period General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. 300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
Drive though calm water only if it is not deeper than 9.8 inches/25 cm and at this height, no faster than walking speed, up to 6 mph/10 km/h. The vehicle glass provides full protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin. Mobile communication devices in the vehicle Mobile communication devices in the ve‐ hicle It is advised that you do not use mobile commu‐ nication devices, e.g., mobile phones, inside the vehicle without connecting them directly to the external antenna.
Things to remember when driving Driving in wet conditions Condensation under the parked vehicle When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. When using the automatic climate control, con‐ densation water develops that exits underneath the vehicle. Ensure that this action does not endanger other road users. Therefore, traces of condensed water under the vehicle are normal.
For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs pas‐ sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail‐ able cargo and luggage load capacity is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs = 400 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Things to remember when driving Securing cargo Magnetic roof-mounted luggage rack Always position and secure the cargo as described above; otherwise, it can endanger the car's occupants if sudden braking or swerving becomes necessary. Because of the aluminum roof, magnetic roofmounted luggage racks cannot be mounted. Heavy or hard objects should not be carried loose inside the car; otherwise, they could be thrown around as a result of hard braking, sud‐ den swerves, etc., and endanger the occu‐ pants.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before start‐ ing on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear. Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed. Have maintenance carried out Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle economy and operating life.
