an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the eng ine compartment after the engine is
switched off -there is a risk of damaging the
engine. For this reason, let the engine r un at
idle for approxi mately two minutes before
shutting it off.

Driving
the<®> switch is released, or the accelerator pedal is depressed, emergency braking stops.
A WARNING
Emergency braking should only be used in an
emergency, when the normal brake pedal has
failed or the brake pedal is obstructed. During
emergency braking, your vehicle will brake
similar to heavy braking . ESC and the associ·
ated components (ABS, ASR, EDL) cannot
overcome the laws of physics. In corners and
when road or weather conditions are bad, a
full brake application can cause the vehicle to
skid or the rear end to break away, which in­
creases the risk of an accident.
Speed warning system
Introduction
Applies to vehicles: with speed warning system
The speed warning sy stem helps you to stay un­
der a specified maximum speed.
The speed warning system warns you if you are
exceeding the maximum speed that you have set .
You will hear a warning tone when your speed ex­
ceeds the stored value by approximately 3 mph
(3 km/h) . The indicator light
101 (USA models)/
llll (Canada models) and the Speed limit warn­
ing exceeded.
message appear in the instrument
cluster display at the same time . T hP
(Cl / t•j in­
dicator light turns off when the speed decreases
below the stored maximum speed.
Setting a threshold is recommended if you would
like to be reminded when you reach a certain
maximum speed. Situations where you may want
to do so include driving in a country with a gener­
al speed limit or if there is a specified maximum
speed fo r winter tires.
@ Tips
Regardless of the speed warning system, you
should always monitor your speed using the
speedometer and make sure you are following
the legal speed limit.

Setting the threshold
Applies to vehicles: with speed warn ing system
You can set, change and delete the warning
threshold in the Infotainment system .

.

-For reasons of safety, cruise control should
not be used in the city, in stop-and-go traf­
fic, on winding roads and when road condi­
t ions are poor (such as ice, fog, gravel,
heavy ra in and hydroplaning) -you could
have an acc ident.
- Switch the cruise control off temporar ily
when driving in turning lanes, h ighway exits
o r in construction zones.
(D Tips
-The cruise control system is ideal for
stretches w ith speed limits. The driver is re­
