Shoulder support adjustment
6Adjustment of the tilt angle of the shoulder 
support:
The shoulder support provides support to your 
back in the shoulder region as well. This pro-
vides a relaxed driving position and helps 
relieve stress on the shoulder muscles.

You can use the control knob to adjust the set-
tings after selecting the desired function with

All of the washer jets are supplied from a single 
tank.
Fill with water and – if required – with a washer 
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom-
mendations.
In order to maintain the mixture ratio, mix 
the washer fluid before filling.<
Capacity
Approx. 6.3 US quarts/6 liters.
Programmable cruise control
The concept
The programmable cruise control is available 
for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/30 km/h 
and higher. The vehicle maintains and stores 
the speed that you set using the lever mounted 
on the steering column.
You can also use the multilevel preset mode to 
store six desired speeds for later selection with 
the lever, refer to page67.
This feature assists you in quickly adapting the 
vehicle speed to specific road conditions, e.g. 
changes in speeds limits.
Do not use the programmable cruise con-
trol when unfavorable conditions do not 
permit you to drive at a constant speed, e.g. 
when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic 
or under poor road conditions such as snow, 
rain, ice, or a loose road surface. If you do, you 
could lose control of the vehicle and cause an 
accident.<

4Resuming stored speed
Maintaining speed, storing, and 
accelerating
Press lever to resistance point, arrow 1: 
The system maintains and stores the current 
vehicle speed. The pointer5 in the speedome-
ter indicates this speed, refer to Displays in 
speedometer on page68. Each time the lever is 
pressed again briefly, the speed is increased by 
approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.
Push the lever to the resistance point for a 
longer time: 
The vehicle accelerates without pressure on 
the accelerator pedal. The system maintains 
and stores your current speed as soon as you 
release the lever.
Press the lever past the resistance point if no 
desired speeds6 are stored:
The pointer5 jumps to the next multiple of 
5 mph or 10 km/h and then further, as long as 
the lever is held. The speed then indicated is 
reached and stored.
The vehicle may accelerate beyond the preset 
speed on steep downhill stretches where the 
engine's braking action alone may not be suffi-
cient to slow the vehicle. Speed can drop on 
uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient.

Maintaining speed, storing, and 
decelerating
Pull the lever, arrow2: 
Functions in the same way as1, except that the 
vehicle speed is decreased.
Interrupting the cruise control
Briefly press the lever up or down, arrow3.
In addition, cruise control is interrupted auto-
matically:
>when you apply pressure to the brake pedal
>when you shift the automatic transmission 
into position N
>when the DSC control is operative
Resuming stored speed
Briefly press the button4: 
The vehicle accelerates back to and maintains 
the stored speed.

Storing desired speeds
With vehicle stationary
1.Switch on the ignition.
2.Press, arrow1, or pull, arrow2, the lever 
past the resistance point: 
Now you can move the pointer5 with the lever until you have reached your desired 
speed:
>Press or pull the lever to the resistance 
point again: the pointer slowly moves.
>Press or pull the lever past the resis-
tance point again: the pointer jumps to 
the next multiple of 5 mph or 10 km/h 
and then further, as long as the lever is 
held.
3.Press the button4 for approx. 3 seconds. 
The stored desired speed is indicated by a 
mark 6.
If six desired speeds have already been stored, 
please delete at least one of them before adding 
another.
While driving
1.Press, arrow1, or pull, arrow2, the lever 
past the resistance point.
2.Press the button4 for approx. 3 seconds. 
The current speed is applied as the desired 
speed and displayed with6.
If all of the marks 6 flash twice, this indicates 
that six desired speeds have already been 
stored. You must then delete at least one of 
them before adding another.
Deleting desired speeds
1.Select corresponding desired speed6, 
refer to section below.
2.Press button4 for approx. 3 seconds.
Activating multilevel preset mode
Press, arrow1, or pull, arrow2, the lever past 
the resistance point.
The current driving speed is maintained, stored 
and displayed by the pointer5.
Selecting desired speed
Press, arrow1, or pull, arrow2, the lever past 
the resistance point: 
The next desired speed is selected.

Outside temperature warning
If the display drops to +377/+36, a signal 
sounds and a message appears on the Info Dis-
play. There is an increased danger of ice.
Even at temperatures above +377/
+36, ice can form. Therefore, drive care-
fully, e.g. on bridges and shaded roadways; oth-
erwise, there is an increased accident risk.<

Cruising range
Displays the estimated cruising range available 
with the remaining fuel. It is projected by taking 
into account the driving style over the last 
20 miles/30 km.
When your cruising range falls below 
30 miles/50 km, be sure to refuel. Other-
wise, engine functions are not assured and 
damage can occur.<
The computer only registers refueling amounts 
greater than approx. 1.3 US gal/5 liters.
Distance to destination
When you enter a destination into the naviga-
tion system, refer to page131, or manually 
enter a distance in the computer, refer to 
page78, prior to departure, then the system 
displays the remaining distance to your desti-
nation.
The system automatically adopts the distance 
to your destination on the route recommended 
by the navigation system.
When you enter a destination into the 
navigation system, any manual distance 
entries will be overwritten once the vehicle has 
traveled approx. 1,640 ft/500 m of the calcu-
lated distance.<

Periods with the vehicle parked and the engine 
off are not included in the calculations of aver-
age speed.
You can reset value for average fuel consump-
tion and average speed, refer to Resetting val-
ues, page78.
