Windshield washer nozzles

The windshield washer nozzles are heated
automatically

while the engine is running or

the ignition is switched on.

Washer fluid

Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.
Therefore, keep it away from ignition

sources and only store it in the closed original
container that is kept out of reach of children;
otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury.
Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainer.

Washer fluid filler neck

Only refill washer fluid when the engine is
cool to avoid contact with hot engine

parts. Otherwise, fluid spills constitute a fire
hazard and a risk to personal safety.

All washer nozzles are supplied with washer
fluid by the same reservoir.
Fill with water and, if required, with a washer
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Mix the water and antifreeze before filling
the washer fluid reservoir to make sure

the correct concentration is maintained.

Capacity

Approx. 6.3 US quarts/6 liters.

Cruise control*

The concept

Cruise control is available for use at speeds of
approx. 20 mph or 30 km/h. The car then stores
and maintains the speed that you specify using
the lever on the steering column. In order to
maintain the specified speed, the system
brakes the vehicle when the engine braking
effect is insufficient on downhill gradients.

Do not use cruise control when driving at
constant speed is prevented by adverse

conditions, e.g. winding roads, dense traffic or
poor road conditions due to, e.g., snow, rain, ice
or loose surfaces. Otherwise, you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident as
a result.

Manual transmission

You can shift gears while cruise control is acti-
vated. The system is deactivated when you
drive at very low engine speeds for an extended
period.
