period.
The windshield washer nozzles are automati-
cally heated
*
when the engine is running or the
ignition is on.
Cleaning headlamps*
When the vehicle lighting system is switched
on, the headlamps are cleaned at regular and
appropriate intervals.
Washer fluid
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. For
this reason, keep it away from sources of
flame and store it only in its original container.
Store it so that it is inaccessible to children.
Comply with the instructions on the con-
tainer.

Washer fluid reservoir
Fill with water and, if required, with antifreeze
according to its manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
Mix the water and antifreeze before filling
the washer fluid reservoir to make sure
the correct concentration is maintained. <
Capacity
Approx. 5.3 US quarts/5 liters.
Cruise control*
The concept
Cruise control is available at speeds of at least
approx. 20 mph/30 km/h. The car stores and
maintains the speed that you specify with the
lever on the steering column.
Do not use cruise control if conditions are
unfavorable for driving at a constant
speed, e.g. due to winding roads, dense traffic,
or poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice,
loose surface, etc. Otherwise, you could lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident.
<
One lever for all functions
1 Storing and maintaining speed or accelerat-
ing
2 Storing and maintaining speed or deceler-
ating
3 To recall the stored speed
4 Deactivating cruise control
To maintain current speed
Tap the lever, arrow 1 , or pull it briefly, arrow 2 .
The car's current speed is stored and main-
tained. If, on downhill grades, the engine brak-
ing effect is not sufficient, the controlled speed
can be exceeded. Speed can drop on uphill
grades if the engine output is insufficient.
To increase speed
Tap the lever repeatedly, arrow 1 , until the
desired speed is reached.
Every time you tap the lever, the speed
increases by approx. 1 mph/1 km/h.
