Some functions and vehicle components are
scanned for their operat ing status when you
switch the ignition on and while you are driving.
Malfunctions or requ ired service procedures are
s ignaled audibly and indicated by red and yellow
illuminated symbols and reminders in the dis­
play.
A WARNING
-
- Never rely exclus ively on the outside tem­
perature display to determine if a road sur­
face is icy or not. Keep in m ind that road
surfaces, especially br idges and overpasses,
co uld be ice covered and slippe ry even at an
outs ide temperature above 41 °F (+ S °C).
- Always remember, even if the "snowflake"
symbol (ice warning) does not appear in the
display, black ice co uld be on the road.
- Always reduce you r speed and drive with
special care in cold weather condit ions when
the chance of encountering icy road surfaces
increases.
(D Tips
If the vehicle is stationary, or if you are driv­
i ng at a very low speed, t he temperature
shown in the disp lay m ight be slightly higher
than the actual outside temperature. This is
caused by the heat being radiated from the
engine.

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.
