Trip computer – Supplementary information
General information for both Analog and Digi- tal trip computer functions.
Average fuel consumptionFuel consumption since the last time thisfunction was reset.
Average speedThe vehicle's average speed since the lasttime this function was reset.
Current fuel consumptionCurrent fuel consumption is calculatedapproximately once a second. When the vehi-cle is moving at low speed, fuel consumptionis displayed per unit of time. At higherspeeds, it is displayed in terms of distance. Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the heading "Changing units".
Distance to emptyThis function shows the approximate dis-tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the tank. When
Distance to empty shows
"----", there is very little useable fuel remain- ing in that tank; refuel as soon as possible.The calculation is based on average fuel con-sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) ofdriving and the amount of fuel remaining inthe tank (the accuracy of this figure may varyif your driving style changes). An economical driving style will generally increase this dis-tance. See Economical driving (p. 279) for informa- tion about driving economically.
Digital speed display*Speed is expressed in the unit not used bythe instrument panel's speedometer e.g., ifthe normal speedometer is in mph, the tripcomputer will display in the speed in km/hand vice versa.

Power tailgate – automatic opening/ closing
The power tailgate can be opened/closed using a button on the lighting panel or on theremote key.
Automatic openingThe power tailgate can be opened automati-cally in the three ways:
• By pressing and holding the
but-
ton on the lighting panel until the tailgate begins to open.
• By pressing and holding the
but-
ton on the remote key until the tailgate begins to open.
• By pressing the rubber-covered buttonunder the outer handle on the tailgate.
The taillights illuminate automatically when the automatic open function is used.
CAUTION
Be sure that there is adequate space above and behind the vehicle before open-ing the tailgate automatically. The vehicle should not be driven or moved with the tailgate in the open position. How-ever, if the vehicle is moved with the tail-gate in the open position, the automaticclosing function will be inoperative untilone of the following occurs:
• The tailgate is closed manually
• The ignition is switched off and the key is removed for approximately 10minutes (the tailgate will function againafter restart).
NOTE
If the tailgate has been opened and closed continuously too long, the automatic func-tion will be deactivated to avoid overload-ing the electrical system. The automaticfunction can be used again after approxi-mately 2 minutes. If the vehicle's battery has been dis- charged or disconnected, or if the tailgatehas been open for more than 24 hours, thetailgate must be opened and closed oncemanually to reset the system.
Automatic closingThe power tailgate can be closed by pressing the
-button on the tailgate (see the
illustration) or by pressing it down.
WARNING
Be sure that no one is near the tailgate when it is opened or closed automatically.The tailgate should never be obstructed inany way when it is operated.

Before a speed can be set, the cruise control system must be engaged (put in standbymode).
–Press the CRUISE button (1).
> The symbol
illuminates and the text
(---) mph (5) indicates that cruise con-
trol is in standby mode.
NOTE
Putting cruise control in standby mode does not set a cruising speed.
Setting a speed
Use the or buttons set the vehicle's
current speed. The set speed is shown in the display.
NOTE
Cruise control cannot be engaged at speeds below 20 mph (30 km/h).
Adjusting the set speedAfter a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by using the
or buttons. 1. Press
or briefly and release the
button to increase or decrease vehicle speed by approximately 1 mph or 1 km/h.
> This will become the set speed when the button is released.
2. Press and hold one of these buttons to increase/decrease the speed in 1-mph or 1-km/h increments. Release the buttonwhen you have reached the desiredspeed.
NOTE
•A temporary increase in speed by pressing the accelerator pedal, for lessthan 1 minute (e.g. when passinganother car), does not affect the cur-rent cruise control setting. The vehiclewill automatically return to the previ-ously set speed when the acceleratorpedal is released.
• If one of the cruise control buttons iskept depressed for more than approx.1 minute cruise control is disengaged.The engine must then be switched offin order to reset cruise control.

Adaptive Cruise Control – setting speed
Setting a speedOnce ACC has been put in standby mode:
Controls and display
Put in active mode and set a speed (each additional press increases/decreasesspeed by 1 mph (approximately 2 km/h))
• Press
or (4).
> The set speed, for example 60 mph (5), will be magnified for several seconds and the frame around the speed will changecolors from white to green to indicate
that this speed has been stored (set).
When this symbol has changed col-ors from white to green , ACC is in
active mode and the vehicle will
maintain the set speed.
This symbol indicates that you are approaching a vehi-cle ahead. ACC will switch from main- taining a set speed to main-
taining a set distance from
that vehicle.
When this happens, a speed range will be indicated on
the speedometer: The higher speed (the cur-
rently set speed (5)) will be marked in green.
The lower speed in the range is the speed of
the vehicle ahead.
Changing the set speed
• After a speed has been set, it can be increased or decreased by briefly press- ing the
or buttons. Each time one
of these buttons is pressed, the vehicle's speed changes by 5 mph or 5 km/h. If thespeed is increased by pressing the accel-erator pedal, the vehicle's speed whenthe button is pressed will be set.
• Press and hold one of these buttons toincrease/decrease the speed in 1-mph or1-km/h increments. Release the buttonwhen you have reached the desiredspeed.
NOTE
•If one of the Adaptive Cruise Control buttons is pressed for more thanapproximately one minute, ACC will bedeactivated. The engine must then beswitched off and restarted to resetACC.
• In some situations Adaptive CruiseControl cannot be put in active mode.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – messages
Erasing warning messagesWhen a low tire pressure warning message has been displayed and the tire pressure warning light in the instrument panell (
)
has come on:
1. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure of all four tires.
2. Re-inflate the tire(s) to the correct pres- sure (consult the tire pressure placard located on the driver's side B-pillar (thestructural member at the side of the vehi-cle, at the rear of the driver's door open-ing) or the inflation pressure table, seeTire inflation – pressure table (p. 300).
3. In certain cases, it may be necessary to drive the vehicle for several minutes at aspeed of 20 mph (30 km/h) or faster. Thiswill erase the warning text and the telltalewill go out.
NOTE
•Tire monitoring systems use a tem- perature compensated pressure value.This pressure value is dependent ontire temperature and ambient tempera-ture, which can differ from the recom-mended cold tire pressure in the tireinflation table and on the tire pressureplacard located on the driver's side B-pillar (the structural member at theside of the vehicle, at the rear of thedriver's door opening). This meansthat it may sometimes be necessary toinflate them slightly above the recom-mended cold pressure value(approx. 3-4 psi or 0.2-0.3 bar) in orderto reset a low tire pressure warning.
• To help avoid incorrect tire inflationpressure, if possible only inflate thetires when they are cold. The tires areconsidered to be cold when they havethe same temperature as the sur-rounding (ambient) air. This tempera-ture is normally reached after the vehi-cle has been parked for at least3 hours. After driving a distance ofapproximately 1 mile (1.6 km), the tiresare considered to be hot.
CAUTION
•
After inflating the tires, always reinstall the valve cap to help avoid damage tothe valve from dirt, gravel, etc.
• Use plastic valve caps only. Metalcaps could corrode and become diffi-cult to remove.
WARNING
•Incorrect inflation pressure could lead to tire failure, resulting in a loss of con-trol of the vehicle.
• Tire monitoring systems cannot indi-cate sudden tire damage caused byexternal factors (e.g., a blowout) inadvance.
