Do not switch off the ignition while driving.
Driving and parking 158 Driving tips The ECO display does not indicate the actual fuel consumption. A fixed percentage count in the ECO display does not indicate a fixed consumption. Apart from driving style, consumption is dependent on many factors such as, e.g.: Rload RTire pressure start Rchoice of route Relectrical consumers switched on These factors are not included in the ECO display.
Do not depress the brake pedal continuously while the vehicle is in motion, e.g. causing the brakes to rub by constantly applying light pressure to the pedal. This results in excessive and premature wear to the brake pads. Heavy and light loads G WARNING If you rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even cause the braking system to fail. There is a risk of an accident. Never use the brake pedal as a footrest.
Driving and parking 160 Driving tips All checks and maintenance work on the brake system must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Have brake pads installed and brake fluid replaced at a qualified specialist workshop. If the brake system has only been subject to moderate loads, you should test the functionality of your brakes at regular intervals. You can find a description of Brake Assist (BAS) on (Y page 63).
Driving tips To avoid an inaccurate measurement: Rmake sure you position the wheels suitably Rdo not put the measuring pin on a recess in the brake disc Driving on wet roads Hydroplaning If water has accumulated to a certain depth on the road surface, there is a danger of hydroplaning occurring, even if: Ryou drive at low speeds. tires have adequate tread depth.
162 Driving systems Driving systems Cruise control lever Cruise Control Driving and parking General notes Cruise control maintains a constant road speed for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid exceeding the set speed. Change into transmission position D- (Y page 138) on long and steep downhill gradients. This increases recuperation in overrun mode. This relieves the load on the brake system and prevents the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly.
i Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out. Cruise control maintains the stored speed on downhill gradients by automatically applying the brakes. Storing the current speed or calling up the last stored speed G WARNING If you call up the stored speed and it differs from the current speed, the vehicle accelerates or decelerates.
