Driving and operating141
Deactivation
Press the e button; control
indicator m extinguishes and the
vehicle slowly decelerates.
Automatic deactivation: ■ vehicle speed below approx. 25 mph,
■ the brake pedal is depressed,
■ the clutch pedal is depressed,
■ selector lever in N,
■ the Electronic Stability Control is operating.
Resume stored speed
Press the + RES button at a speed
above 25 mph. The stored speed will
be obtained.
Deleting the stored speed The stored speed will be deleted by
pressing the e button or
switching off the ignition.Parking assist
The parking assist system makes
parking easier by measuring the
distance between the vehicle and obstacles to the front and rear, and
giving acoustic signals. It is the driver,
however, who bears full responsibility for the parking manoeuvre.
The system consists of four ultrasonic
parking sensors in both the front and
rear bumpers.
Control indicator r 3 86.
Activation
With the ignition on, the system must
be activated manually.
Press button r on the instrument
panel. The LED in the button will
illuminate and will activate when a
forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
An obstacle is indicated by an
acoustic signal. The interval between
the sounds becomes shorter as the
vehicle gets closer to the obstacle.
When the distance is less than
142Driving and operating
30 cm, the signal is continuous. The
acoustic signal may differ depending
on the type of object detected.
Deactivation
To deactivate, press the button again
and the LED in the button will
extinguish. The control indicator r
in the instrument cluster will illuminate
until the vehicle speed exceeds
18 mph.
The system is deactivated
automatically when the vehicle speed is above 5 mph or when selector leveris in neutral (automatic transmission
in N or P).
If the b button is pressed again, the
LED in the button will extinguish and
the system will be reactivated as soon
as a forward gear or reverse gear is
engaged and the electrical parking
brake is released.
Fault
In the event of a fault in the system,
control indicator r illuminates in the
instrument cluster.If the acoustic signal sounds 3 times
continuously when there are no
obstacles near the front or rear
bumper, there is a fault in the system. Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Important hints for using the
parking assist system9 Warning
Under certain circumstances,
various reflective surfaces on
objects or clothing as well as
external noise sources may cause the system to fail to detect
obstacles.
Special attention has to be paid to
low obstacles which can damage
the lower part of the bumper.
Caution
Performance of the system can be reduced when sensors are
covered, e.g. by ice or snow.
Performance of the parking assist
system can be reduced due to
heavy loading.
Special conditions apply if there
are taller vehicles in the vicinity
(e.g. off-road vehicles, mini vans,
vans). Object identification and correct distance indication in the
upper part of these vehicles
cannot be guaranteed.
Objects with a very small reflection
cross-section, e.g. objects of
narrow size or soft materials, may
not be detected by the system.
Parking assist systems do not
detect objects outside the
detection range.
Vehicle care175
To remove the tyre repair kit, open thetailgate and pull the floor cover handle
upwards 3 68.
Caution
Do not allow objects to protrude
above the top of the rear floor
storage compartment, to avoid
damage to the storage area and
the load compartment floor.
Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb
when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 215/70 R 16 are
recommended as winter tyres.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
If winter tyres are installed that have
not been approved for your vehicle,
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system performance may be affected3 137. Seek the assistance of a
workshop regarding availability of
approved winter tyres.
If winter tyres are in use, the
temporary spare wheel may still be
fitted with a summer tyre. Vehicle
driveability could be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.
Spare wheel 3 185.

Vehicle care189
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will
go until it stops in a horizontal
position.
Attach a tow rope - or better still a tow
rod - to the front towing eye, never to
the bumper or front suspension units.
Do not tow the vehicle from the rear.
The front towing eye must only be
used for towing and not recovering a
vehicle.
Switch on ignition to release steering
wheel lock and to permit operation of
brake lights, horn and windscreen
wiper.
Transmission in neutral.
Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 115 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
55 mph. In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle
with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
