Energy management
To prevent the battery from being discharge d and to res tore the
balance o f energy, compone nts wh ich require large amo unts o f
energy a re tempora rily cut back or sw itched off=>
page 263. Heating
systems in part icular requ ire a grea t dea l of energy . If you notice, for
example, that the seat* or rear w indow heating is not heating, they
have been t empo rar ily c ut b ack o r switched off by
energy manage ­

Reduced visibility is dangerous and can cause accidents.
• For safe driving it is very important that all windows be free of
ice, snow and condensation.
• Completely familiarize yourself with the proper use and func­
tion of the heating and ventilation system and especially how to
defog and defrost the windows.
• Never use the windshield wiper /washe r system
in freezing
weather until you have warmed the windshield first , using the
heating and ventilation system . The washer solut ion may freeze
on the windshield and reduce vi sibility.

[ i ] Tips
When climate control is working, cooled air will flow primarily from
outlets @and ®· T o assure adequate cooling, outlets @and ®
should never be completely closed. •
Air outlets in the rear
Outlets in the center console
-Rotate the thumbwheel located next to the outlet to open
or close it.
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet,
move the tab in the center of the outlet in the desired
direction. The direction of the air delivered from the vents
can be adjusted horizontally and vertically .
Outlets in the door pill ars
- Rotate the horizontal thumb wheel located below the
outlet to open or close it .
- To adjust the direction of the airflow from the outlet,
move the tab in the center of the outlet in the desired
direction. The direction of the air delivered from the vents

Controls and equip ­
ment Safety first
The air
outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operat ing mode se lected. Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents.
T he air outlets to heat the rear footwell are located under the front
seats.
[I) Tip s
If the climate cont rol system is operat ing in cooling mode, air flows
primarily from the outlets in the center console and in the door
pillars . To ach ieve adequate cooling, you should never close the
outlets completely. •
Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel.
When you use the air conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases . To save fuel, you should use
the air conditioner only when necessary . Also p lease note the
following points:
- To save fuel, turn off cooling mode by pressing the
[AC)
button (indicator light goes out).
- In addition, if you open the window or the Panoramic
sliding sunroof* while driving, turn off cooling mode by
pressing the
[AC] button (indicator light goes o ut).
- If the vehic le is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
<£' For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you also reduce the amount
of pollutants emitted into the air.•

& WARNING (conti nu ed )
• Pleas e obse rve information on s afe driving => page 190.
& WARNING
To help prevent poi sonous exhau st ga s from being drawn into the
vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving.
• Never transport object s larger than tho se fitting completely
into the luggage area because the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
• If you ab solutely must drive with the rear lid open, observe the
following notes to reduce the ris k of po isoning:
- Close all windows,
- Close the Pano ramic sliding sunroof*,
- Open all air outlets in the instrument panel,
- Swit ch off the air recirculation,
- Set the fresh air fan to the h ighest speed.
& WARNING
Alway s make sure that the doors, all windows, the Panorami c
sliding sunroof* and the rear lid are secur ely closed and locked to
reduce the risk of injury when the vehicle is not being used.
• After closing the rear lid, always make sure that it is properly
clo sed and locked .
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the rear lid
left open . A child could crawl into th e vehicle through the luggage
compartment and close the rear lid becoming trapped and unable
to get out . Being trapped in a vehicle can lead to serious personal
injury.
• Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
• Never let passengers ride in the luggage compartment. Vehicle
occupants must alway s be properly restrained in one of the
vehicle 's seating positions.
W Tips
• Air circulation helps to reduce window fogging. Sta le air escapes
to the outside th rough vents in the trim panel. Be sure to keep these
slo ts free and open.
• Th e tire pressure m ust correspond to the load . The tire pressure is
shown o n th e t ire pressu re label. The tire pressure label is located o n
the driver's side 8-pillar . The tire p ress ure label lists the recom­
me nded co ld tire inflation pressures fo r th e ve hicle at its max imum
capacity weight and the tires that were on your vehicle at t he time it
was manufactured. For recommended t ire pressu re s for normal loa d
conditions, p lease see chapter=>
page 322. •
Tie-downs
The lug gage c omp artm ent is equ ipped with fo ur tie­
do wns to secur e luggag e and oth er items .
Use the t ie-downs to sec ure yo ur cargo properly => page 197,
"Load ing the l uggage comp artmen t".
In a co llision , the laws of physics mean that even smaller items that
are loose in the vehicle will become heavy m issi les t hat can ca use
ser ious injury. Items in the vehicle possess energy which va ry with
veh icle speed and the weight of the item . Vehicle speed is the most
sign ifi cant factor .
For example, in a frontal coll is ion at a speed of 30 mp h (48 km/h),
the forces a cting on a 1 0-lb (4.5 kg) o bje ct are about 20 times the
normal weight of the item. This means that the weight of the item
wou ld sudden ly be abo ut 200 l bs. (9 0 kg). You can imagine the inju ­
r ies that a 200 lbs. (90 kg) item flying freely through the passenger
compar tment cou ld cause in a collision like this .
