closed, original container, and keep out of reach
of children; otherwise, there is a danger of
injury. Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainer.

Washer fluid reservoir

freeze when the engine is cool, to avoid

contact with hot engine parts. Otherwise, fluid
spills constitute a fire hazard and a risk to per-

antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.

Mix the water and antifreeze before filling

Cruise control*

The concept

Cruise control is available at vehicle speeds of at
least approx. 20 mph or 30 km/h. The car then
stores and maintains the speed that you specify
using the button on the steering wheel.

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 con-
trol of the vehicle and cause an accident as a
result.
