Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Open / close window

The window can be operated mechanically by means of the handle attached to
the respective door panel.
WARNINGThe windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 138 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the elec-
trical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
window mechanism could be damaged.■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are opened,
dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the wind
noise is more at certain speeds.Open / close windowFig. 39

If control of the lights by the door contact switch is enabled (switchA » Fig. 45 is in the position), the light will come on when one of the fol-
lowing occurs.
› The vehicle is unlocked.
› One of the doors is opened.
› The ignition key is removed.
If control of the lights by the door contact switch is enabled (switch A
» Fig. 45
in the
position), the light will go off when one of the following occurs.
› The vehicle is locked.
› The ignition is switched on.
› About 30 seconds after all the doors have been closed.
If a door remains open, or if switch

The rear window heater can only be switched on when the engine is running.
The rear window heater switches off automatically after approximately 7 mi-
nutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy » page 116, Saving electrical energy . 64Operation

Two beverage containers can be placed into the recesses.
WARNING■ Never put hot beverage containers in the cup holder. They may spill if the
vehicle moves – there is a risk of scalding.■
Do not use any cups or beakers made of fragile material (e.g. glass, porce-
lain). This could lead to injuries in the event of an accident.

There is a risk of spilling e.g. when braking which may cause damage to the
electrical components or seat upholstery.■
If the middle rear seat backrest should be folded forward for lengthy periods,
then make sure that the belt locks are not located below it - this can warp the
upholstery or fabric.

Voice control
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Dialogue
102
Voice commands
103
Dialogue
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice com-
mands and to carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible
feedback and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.
› Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exte-
rior noise.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the tone of your
voice is louder than the increased surrounding noise.
› During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talk-
ing at the same time.
› Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and di-
rected to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front
passenger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually
spoken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (sepa-
rated by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief
voice pause) all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.
The digits 0 - 9, symbols +,
, #
are permitted. The system detects no continu-
ous digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken dig-
its (two, three).
Switching on voice control
› Press the
button on the adapter
» Fig. 105 on page 100 briefly.
› Press the
1
button on the multifunction steering wheel briefly
» page 99,
Operating the phone on the multifunction steering wheel .
Switching off voice control
If the system is currently playing a message, the message that is currently be-
ing played will have to be stopped as follows:
› Press the
button on the adapter briefly.
› Press the
1
button on the multifunction steering wheel briefly.
If the system is expecting a voice command, you can end the dialogue yourself
as follows.
› With the
CANCEL voice command.
› Press the
button on the adapter.
› Press the
1
button on the multifunction steering wheel briefly.

On vehicles fitted with the Amundsen+ navigation system, this function can be accessed via the naviga-
tion system menu; refer to the » Operating instructions for the Amundsen+ navigation system .
102Operation

The brake pressure drops gradually the more you operate the accelerator ped-
al. If the vehicle does not start off within 2 seconds, it starts to roll back.
HHC is active on slopes of >5 % when the driver door is closed. HHC is always only active on slopes when in forward or reverse start off. When driving down-
hill, it is inactive.
Antilock Braking System (ABS)
Read and observe
and on page 119 first.
ABS prevents the wheels locking when braking. Thus helping the driver to
maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres- sure on the brake pedal.
Traction Control System (ASR)
Fig. 117
TCS button
Read and observe and on page 119 first.
If the wheels are slipping, the ASR system adapts the engine speed to the con-
ditions of the road surface. The TCS makes it much easier to start off, acceler-
ate and climb steep hills even if the conditions of the road surface are unfav-
ourable.
The TCS function is automatically activated each time the ignition is switched
on.
During an intervention of the system, the TCS warning light flashes in the
instrument cluster.
The TCS should normally always be enabled. Only in certain exceptional cir-
cumstances can it be sensible to switch the system off, for instance:
› when driving with snow chains;
› when driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface;
› when it is necessary to “rock a vehicle free” when it has got stuck.
Ensure the TCS is activated again afterwards.
You can switch TCS off and on again as needed by pressing the
but-
ton » Fig. 117 . The
warning light comes on in the instrument cluster when the
TCS is deactivated.
The TCS warning light
» page 45 lights up in the instrument cluster when
there is a fault on the TCS.
Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)
Read and observe
and on page 119 first.
If one of the wheels starts to spin, the EDL system brakes the spinning wheel
and transfers the driving force to the other wheels. This ensures the stability
of the vehicle and a quick journey.
EDL switches off automatically to avoid excessive heat generation on the
brake of the wheel being braked. The vehicle can continue to be driven and
has the same characteristics as a vehicle not fitted with EDL. The EDL switches
on again automatically as soon as the brake has cooled down.
