Deactivating
The parking aid is deactivated by removing the reverse gear.
WARNING
•The parking aid is not a substitute for the driver paying proper atten- tion and it is always the driver's responsibility to take care when parking the vehicle or carrying out similar manoeuvres.
•You should therefore satisfy yourself, before reversing, that there is no small obstacle, such as a rock, th in post, trailer drawbar etc., behind your vehicle. Such an obstacle might not be within the range detected by the sensors.
Note
•The parking aid does not operate if you are towing a trailer (applies to models which feature a fact ory-fitted towing device*).
•A system fault is indicated if a warning signal sounds for about 5 seconds after switching the ignition on and engaging reverse gear and there is no obstacle close to your vehicle. Have the fault rectified by a specialist workshop.
•The sensors must be kept clean and free of ice to enable the parking aid to operate properly.
•If the parking aid is activated and the selector lever of the automatic gearbox is in the position , warning signal indicates interruption (vehicle can no longer move).
Cruise control system (CCS)*
Introduction
The cruise control system (CCS) maintains a constant speed, more than 30 km/h, once it has been set, without you having to depress the accelerator pedal. This is only possible within the range which is permitted by the power output and braking power of the engine. The cruise control system makes it possible - particularly on long journeys - for you to rest your “accelerator foot”.
WARNING
•The cruise control system must not, for safety reasons, be used in dense traffic or on unfavourable road surfaces (such as icy roads, slip- pery roads or loose chippings) - risk of accident!
•In order to prevent unintentional use of the cruise control system, always switch off the system after use.
Note
•Models fitted with a manual gearbox: Always depress the clutch pedal if you switch on the cruise control system when the gearbox is in Neutral. Otherwise the engine can rev up unintentionally.
•The cruise control system is not able to maintain a constant speed when driving on steep downhill sections. The weight of the vehicle increases the speed at which it travels. One should shift down in good time to a lower gear or slow the vehicle down by applying the foot brake.
•It is not possible on vehi cles fitted with an automatic gearbox to switch on the cruise control system if the selector lever is in the position P, N or R.

Starting-off and Driving110
Storing a speed
The cruise control system is operated by means of the switch and
rocker button in the left lever of the multi-functional switch.
– Press the switch ⇒fig. 93 into the position ON.
– After the desired speed has been reached, press the rocker button
into the SET- position - the current speed is stored.
After you have released the rocker button out of the position SET-, the speed you have just stored is maintained at a constant speed without having to depress the accelerator.
You can increase the speed by depressing the accelerator. Releasing the accel- erator will cause the speed to drop again to the set speed.
This does not apply, however, if you drive at a speed which is more than 10 km/h higher than the set speed for a period of longer than 5 minutes. The stored speed will be cancelled in the memory. You then have to re-store the desired speed.
One can reduce the speed in the usual manner. The system is switched off temporarily by actuating the brake or clutch pedal ⇒page 111.
WARNING
First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which exist at that moment before resuming the stored speed.
Changing a stored speed
You can also change the speed of the vehicle without
depressing the accelerator.
Fa s t e r
– You can increase the stored speed without depressing the acceler-
ator, by pressing the rocker button ⇒fig. 93 into the RES+
position.
– The speed of the car will increase continuously if you hold the
rocker button pressed in the RES+ position. Once the car has
reached the desired speed, release the rocker button. The set
speed is then stored in the memory.
Slower
–You can decrease the stored speed by pressing the rocker button
in the SET- position.
– Holding down the pushbutton pressed in the SET- position will
cause the speed of the vehicle to reduce continuously. Once the
car has reached the desired speed, release the rocker button. The
set speed is then stored in the memory.

– If you release the rocker button when the car is travelling at a speed
of less than 30 km/h, the speed is not stored, the memory is erased.
It is then necessary to again store the speed with the rocker button
in the position SET- after an increase in speed of the vehicle to
more than 30 km/hour.
Switching off the cruise control system temporarily
– You can switch off temporarily the cruise control system, if you
depress the brake or clutch pedal.
The set speed remains stored in the memory.
Press the rocker button in the position RES+ for the resumptionof the stored speed after releasing the clutch or brake pedal.
WARNING
First ensure that it is not too high for the traffic conditions which exist at that moment before resuming the stored speed.
Switching off the cruise control system completely
– Press the switch ⇒page 110, fig. 93 to the right into position

Fuses and light bulbs236
Caution
•Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a fuse of a higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at another part of the electrical system.
•Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a specialist garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuse s replaced by a specialist garage.
Fuse assignment in the dash panel
Certain electrical components are only standard on certain vehicle model versions or only suppliable as opti onal equipment for certain models.
