Do not use washing mechanisms when
the washer fluid reservoir is empty, other-

wise you will damage the washer pump.

<

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. For
this reason, keep it away from ignition

sources and store only in the closed original
container out of reach of children. Otherwise,
there is the danger of bodily injury. Always
observe the instructions for use provided on the
containers.

<

Filler neck for washer fluid

Only add washer fluid with the engine
cooled down to exclude contact with hot

engine components. Otherwise there is a dan-
ger of fire and to personal safety if the fluid is
spilled.

<

All washer nozzles are supplied from one reser-
voir.
Fill with water and – if required – with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

In order to maintain 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 stores and maintains the speed that you
set using the lever mounted on the steering col-
umn. To maintain the specified speed, the sys-
tem brakes if the engine braking effect is not
sufficient on a downhill grade. Speed can drop
on uphill grades if the engine output is insuffi-
cient.

Do not use the cruise control under driv-
ing conditions that do not permit a con-

stant speed, e.g., when driving on winding
roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions
such as snow, rain, ice, lose road surface, and
poor visibility. Otherwise you could loose con-
trol of the vehicle and cause an accident.
