Note:Do not insert objects other than anaccessory plug into the power point. Thisdamages the outlet and blows the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory oraccessory bracket from the plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over thevehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watt or afuse may blow.
Note:Do not use the power point foroperating a cigar lighter element.
Note:Incorrect use of the power point cancause damage not covered by yourwarranty.
Note:Always keep the power point capsclosed when not in use.

•On the center console.
•Inside the center console.
•On the rear of the console.
•In the cargo area (Wagon Only).
230 Volt Power Point (If Equipped)
WARNING
Do not keep electrical devicesplugged in the power point wheneverthe device is not in use. Do not useany extension cord with the 230 volt powerpoint, since it will defeat the safetyprotection design. Doing so may cause thepower point to overload. Powering multipledevices can reach beyond the 150 wattload limit and could result in fire or seriousinjury.
Note:Keep the vehicle running to use thepower point.
You can use the power point for poweringelectrical devices that require up to 150watts. It is on the rear of the centerconsole.
The power point indicator light, located onthe power point, shows when the powerpoint is ready for use.
When the power point indicator light is:
•On — the power point is ready to supplypower.
•Off — the power point power supply isoff and so is the ignition.
•Flashing — the power point is in faultmode.
The power point temporarily turns off itspower if the electrical load exceeds the150 watt limit. The power point can alsoswitch to a fault mode if it detectsoverloading, overheating or shortingconditions.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Overriding the System
WARNING
Whenever the driver is overriding thesystem by pressing the acceleratorpedal, the system does notautomatically apply the brakes to maintainseparation from any vehicle ahead.
You can override the set speed and gap bypressing the accelerator pedal.
When you override the system,the green indicator lightilluminates and the lead vehiclegraphic does not show in theinformation display.
The system resumes operation when yourelease the accelerator pedal. The vehiclespeed decreases to the set speed, or alower speed if following a slower vehicle.
Automatic Switch Off
The system does not operate below12 mph (20 km/h). An audible warningsounds and the automatic braking releasesif the vehicle drops below this speed.
Automatic cancellation can also occur if:
•The tires lose traction.
•The engine speed is too low.
•You apply the parking brake.
Note:If the engine speed drops too low,the information display indicates low enginespeed. Shift to a lower gear (manualtransmission only) to avoid automaticcancellation.
Hilly Condition Usage
You should select a lower gear positionwhen the system is active in situationssuch as prolonged downhill driving onsteep grades, for example in mountainousareas. The system needs additional enginebraking in these situations to reduce theload on the vehicle’s regular brake systemto prevent them from overheating.
Note:An audible warning sounds and thesystem shuts down if it applies brakes foran extended period of time. This allows thebrakes to cool down. The system functionsnormally again when the brakes have cooleddown.
Detection Beam Issues
The radar sensor has a limited field ofvision. It may not detect vehicles at all ordetect a vehicle later than expected insome situations. The lead vehicle graphicdoes not illuminate if the system does notdetect a vehicle in front of you.

WARNING
Avoid driving too fast during the first1000 miles (1500 kilometers). Varyyour speed frequently and changeup through the gears early. Do not laborthe engine.
Vehicles With a Diesel Engine
During the first 2000 miles (3000kilometers), you may notice a ticking soundwhen your vehicle slows down. This is dueto adjustments of your new diesel engineand is normal.
REDUCED ENGINE
PERFORMANCE
WARNING
Continued operation will increase theengine temperature and cause theengine to shut down completely.
If the engine coolant temperature gaugeneedle moves to the upper limit position,the engine is overheating. See Gauges(page 78).
You must only drive your vehicle for a shortdistance if the engine overheats. Thedistance you can travel depends onambient temperature, vehicle load andterrain. The engine will continue to operatewith limited power for a short time.
If the engine temperature continues to rise,the fuel supply to the engine will reduce.The air conditioning will switch off and theengine cooling fan will operate continually.
1.Reduce your speed gradually and stopyour vehicle as soon as it is safe to doso.
2.Switch the engine off immediately toprevent severe engine damage.
3.Wait for the engine to cool down.
4.Check the coolant level. See EngineCoolant Check (page 247).
5.Have your vehicle checked by anauthorized dealer as soon as possible.
ECONOMICAL DRIVING
The following will help to improve fuelconsumption.
Tire Pressures
Check your tire pressures regularly tooptimize fuel economy. For best resultsuse the economy pressures. See TirePressures (page 273).
Gear Shifting
Use the highest drivable gear appropriatefor the road conditions.

ENGINE COOLANT CHECK
WARNINGS
Never remove the coolant reservoircap while the engine is running or hot.
Only add coolant when the engine iscold. If the engine is hot, wait 10minutes for the engine to cool down.
Do not allow the fluid to touch yourskin or eyes. If this happens, rinse theaffected areas immediately withplenty of water and contact your physician.
Undiluted coolant is flammable andmay ignite if spilt on a hot exhaust.
Make sure that the coolant level isbetween the MIN and MAX marks on thecoolant reservoir. If the level is at the MINmark, below the MIN mark, or empty, addcoolant immediately. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 277).
Note: Coolant expands when it is hot. Thelevel may extend beyond the MAX mark.
Adding Engine Coolant
1.Remove the filler cap.
2.Add engine coolant to the MAX mark,do not overfill.
3.Replace the filler cap. Turn it until youfeel a strong resistance.
Note: Add a 50/50 mixture of antifreezeand water or prediluted engine coolant thatmeets the correct specification. SeeCapacities and Specifications (page ?).
Note:In case of emergency, you can add alarge amount of water without enginecoolant in order to reach a vehicle servicelocation.
Note:Prolonged use of an incorrect dilutionof engine coolant can cause engine damage,such as corrosion, overheating or freezing.
