Vehicle features and options

This chapter describes all standard, country-

specific and optional features offered with

the series. It also describes features and

functions that are not necessarily available

tions or country versions. This also applies

to safety-related functions and systems.

When using these functions and systems,

the applicable laws and regulations must be

observed.

Due to new parts and components, safety

and driver assistance systems can react

with a delay. There is a risk of accident.

After installing new parts or with a new

vehicle, drive conservatively and inter-

vene early if necessary. Observe the break-

in procedures of the respective parts and

components.

cumstances.

mal level only after a distance driven of ap-

prox. 300
