Driving

Do not use the washers if there is any
danger that the fluid will freeze on the

windshield. If you do so, your vision could be
obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid
antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid. Do not use
washing mechanisms when the washer fluid
reservoir is empty, otherwise you will damage
the washer pump.

Windshield washer nozzles

Both windshield washer nozzles are automati-
cally heated with the engine running or the igni-
tion switched on.

Rear window wiper

1 Intermittent mode. When reverse gear is

engaged, continuous operation is switched
on automatically

2 Cleaning the rear window

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.
Always keep it well away from sparks and

open flames, and store it in tightly closed con-
tainers well out of the reach of children. Always
observe the instructions for use provided on the
containers.

Washer fluid reservoir

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.

Capacity

approx. 6.3 US quarts/6 liters.

Cruise control*

The concept

The cruise control with a braking function 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 column. To keep the
specified speed constant, the system brakes if
the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a
downhill grade.

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, and loose road surface.
Otherwise you could lose control of the vehicle
and cause an accident.
