Safety information
.WARNING
Driving on today's roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver
distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System,
when using your cell phone, or when operating the cell phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your cell phone,
and the cell phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will
not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your cell phone, or the cell phone controls
safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and
park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other
warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies even if you are
exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
x Your call may be cut off or you may be unable to make calls if you are in an area with no
cell phone network coverage, an area where the network is very weak or, in some cases, in a
tunnel, garage or underpass. This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
x In some countries, an emergency call is supported only if the cell phone is connected to
the telephone control containing an “unlocked” SIM CARd with sufficient credit or if a valid
SIM CARd is in the SIM CARd reader.
.WARNING
The volume may suddenly get louder change when you switch media source or connect a
new audio source.
x Always lower the volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio
source.

.WARNING
A cell phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside
of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle
occupants.
x Never attach a cell phone to, or place it on, a door, the windshield, or above or near the
areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, and the seat backrests,
or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The cell phone could cause serious injury
in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
.WARNING
Always switch off the cell phone when refueling and in areas with a risk of explosion. The
electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
x The cell phone can automatically log itself into the cell phone network again when the
Bluetooth® connection to the telephone control is interrupted.
.WARNING
If a cell phone not connected to an external aerial is used in the vehicle, electromagnetic
radiation in the interior could exceed limit values. This also applies if the outside antenna is
not installed properly.
x Heart specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work.
Always keep the cell phone and its integrated antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from a
pacemaker.
x Never CARry a cell phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a
pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch
the cell phone off immediately.
.NOTICE
x Your cell phone and the telephone control must always be switched off in areas where
special regulations apply and when the use of cell phones is forbidden. Radiation from a
switched-on mobile phone can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices,
potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.
x High speeds, poor weather and road conditions as well as the network quality may impair
telephone calls in the vehicle and lead to loss of connection.
General information
When pairing a cell phone with the telephone control using the hands-free profile (HFP) observe the
information for use of a cell phone in the vehicle without connection to the external aerial .
Only use compatible Bluetooth® devices. Information on compatible Bluetooth products is available

x Before driving downhill, especially on hills that are long or steep, always reduce speed and
shift into lower gear (manual or automatic transmission). This will let the vehicle use engine
braking and reduce the load on the brakes. Otherwise, the brake system could overheat and
even fail. Only use the brakes when you need them to slow the vehicle down more or to stop.
Warning and indicator lights
.

Automatic Shift Lock (ASL)
The Automatic Shift Lock (ASL) in Park (P) and Neutral (N) prevents drive positions from being
engaged inadvertently, which would cause the vehicle to move.
To release the ASL, depress and hold the brake pedal with the ignition switched on. Press the release
button on the selector lever at the same time.
The ASL is not engaged if the selector lever is moved quickly through Neutral (N) (e.g., when shifting
from Reverse (R) to Drive (D)). This makes it possible to “rock” the vehicle backwards and forwards if
it is stuck in snow or mud. The ASL engages automatically if the brake pedal is not depressed and the
lever is in Neutral (N) for more than about 1 second and the vehicle is traveling no faster than about
3 mph (5 km/h).
.WARNING
Moving the selector lever to the wrong position can cause loss of vehicle control, a collision,
and serious personal injury.
x Never accelerate when moving the selector lever.
x When the engine is running and a drive position is engaged, the vehicle will start to move
as soon as the brake pedal is released.
x Never shift into Reverse or Park when the vehicle is moving.
.WARNING
Unintended vehicle movement can cause serious personal injury.
x Never get out of the driver's seat while the engine is running, especially when the
transmission is in a drive gear. If you must leave your vehicle while the engine is running,
always set the electronic parking brake and shift the transmission into Park (P).
x Never leave the vehicle in Neutral (N). It will roll down hills, whether the engine is running
or not.
x When the engine is running and a drive gear - Drive .(D), Sport Drive (S), or Reverse (R) -
has been selected, press and hold the brake pedal to keep the vehicle from moving. The
vehicle may “creep” and move forward or backward even if the engine is idling slowly.
x Never shift into Reverse .(R) or Park (P) when the vehicle is moving.
.NOTICE
Even though the transmission is in Park (P), the vehicle may move a couple of inches (a few
centimeters) forwards or backwards if you take your foot off the brake pedal after stopping the
vehicle without first setting the electronic parking brake.
.If the selector lever is moved into Neutral (N) by mistake when the vehicle is moving, take your
foot off the accelerator pedal. Wait until the engine speed has dropped to idle speed before moving
the selector lever into a drive gear.
.Leaving the selector lever for a long period of time in any position other than Park (P) when the
ignition is switched off can drain the vehicle battery.
