themselves in an open trunk and risk injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.
On hot days, the temperature in the trunk or vehicle interior can rise very quickly. Exposure of people to these
high temperatures for even a short period of time can cause heat-related injury or death. Small children are

The button in the center console (see the illustration on page 29) can be used at any time to switch between the two
driving modes: Comfort or Sport.
The system then adjusts the stiffness of the shock absorbers accordingly, for example when the type of road changes,
or if the driver wishes to change driving style. This adjustment takes place instantaneously.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the greatest amount of shock absorption and the softest ride. This mode is
recommended for long-distance driving, or when driving in slippery conditions.
If Comfort mode was selected when the engine was switched off, this mode will be active when the engine is restarted.
Sport
An indicator lamp in the button will come on when this mode has been activated.
In Sport mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the car's body sway during cornering and to provide more
immediate steering response.
If this setting was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will be active when the engine is restarted.
pg. 79 Rear parking assistance (option)
Rear Parking Assistance
This system is used to assist you when backing into parking spaces, etc by providing an audible tone as you back up.
The system is automatically activated when you select reverse gear.
It utilizes ultrasound sensors located in the rear bumper to measure the distance to a vehicle or other object, or a
person who may be behind the vehicle.
When the system is active:
1. The audio system's volume will be reduced.
2. An intermittent signal will be audible from the audio system's speakers to indicate that as you back up, you are
approaching a person, object, parked vehicle, etc. The signals begin when the vehicle is at a distance of approximately
5 feet (1.5 meters) from an object/person, etc.
3. At a distance of approximately 1 foot (30 cm), the signal will become constant.
Switching off the system
Towing a trailer, carrying bicycles in a tailgate -mounted carrier, etc, could trigger the reverse warning system.
