In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap­
proximately 2 mph (4 km/h). The higher the sen ­
sitivity of the rain sensor* is set (switch ® to the
right), the earlier the windsh ield wipers react to
mo isture on the windsh ield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys­
tem, which switches the intermi ttent mode on.

A WARNING
--
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver may still be responsi­
ble for manually sw itch ing the w ipers on
based on visibility cond itions.
- The windsh ield may not be treated w ith wa­
ter-repelling w indshield coating agents. Un­
favorable condit ions, such as wetness, dark­
ness, and when the sun is low, can cause in­
creased glare, wh ich increases the risk of an
accident. Wiper blade chatter is also possi­
b le.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad es are required for a cl ear v iew and safe
driving
<:::> page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades .
(D Note
-If there is frost, make sure the windshield
w iper blades are not frozen to the wind­
shield. Switching on the windshield w ipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­
shield can damage the wiper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the w indshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in
position 0). This prevents the wipers from
switching on unintentionally and caus ing
damage to the windsh ield wiper system.

Driving
Avoid full acc ele ra tion
You sho uld rare ly travel at the maximum vehicle
speed . High speeds cause a disp roportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise . Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engi ne, for examp le when
at rai lro ad crossings or tr affic lights with longer
red lights . Stopping the engine for 30 -40 sec ­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to resta rt the engine.
It t akes a very long time in idle to wa rm the en­
g ine up to operating tempe ra ture . Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
p hase . Therefore, yo u should begin driving im ­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while do ing th is.
Have ma intenanc e performed r egularly
By having maintenance performed regular ly on
your vehicle, yo u can help to reduce f uel con­
sumpt ion before you even start to dr ive. The
maintenance condition of your vehicle not only
affects traffic safety and long-term value but a l­
so impacts
fuel consumpt ion .
A poorly maintained engine can lead to fuel con­
sumpt ion that is 10% higher than normal.
A lso check the
oil le vel when refueling . The o il
consumption
depends large ly on the engine load
and speed. It is normal for the oil consumpt ion
of a new eng ine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can o nly be properly judged after
approx imately 3,000 m i (S,000 km) have been
d riven.
Avoid short trips
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach the ir opt imal
operating temperature to ef­
fectively red uce consumption and em iss ions.
A co ld engine uses a disproportionately h igh
amount of fuel. The engine reaches operating
temperature and consumpt io n normalizes only
afte r approximately
four kilometers.
56
(D Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights sho uld come on to
i ndicate imprope r operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
h eat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle o r other proper­
ty.
(D Note
- Have your ve hicle ma intained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
t ions i n your Warranty
& M aintenance book­
let. La ck of prope r mai nte na nce as we ll as
imp roper use o f the ve hicle will impa ir the
func tion of the emission cont ro l sys tem and
cou ld lead to damage.
- Do not alte r or remove any compone nt of
the Emission Contro l System unless ap ­
proved by the man ufacturer.
- Do not alte r or remove any dev ice, such as
heat shields, switches, ig nition w ires,
valves, which are designed to protect your
vehicle's Emission Contro l System and other
important veh icle components.
(D Tips
The cons umption estimates as publishe d by
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
(EPA) and Transport Canada may not corre­
spond to your actual consumption on the r oad, which wi ll vary depending upon vehicle
l oad and speed, road a nd wea ther conditions,
tr ip length, etc.

Driving
-Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
- The brake booster and power steering only
work when the engine is running. If the en­
gine is
off, you have to use more force when
steering or braking. Because you cannot
steer and brake as you usually would, this
could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
(D Note
Avoid high engine speed, full throttle, and
heavy engine load if the engine has not
reached operating temperature yet. You could
damage the engine.
@ For the sake of the environment
Do not let the engine run while parked to
warm up. Begin driving immediately . This re­
duces unnecessary emissions.
{D) Tips
-Some noise after starting the engine is nor­
mal and is no cause for concern.
- If you leave the vehicle with the ignition
switched on, the ignition will switch
off af­
ter a certain amount of time . Make sure that
electrical equipment such as the exterior
lights are switched
off.
Stopping the engine
.,. Bring the vehicle to a full stop.
.,. Move the selector lever into the P position .
... Press the
I START ENGINE STOPI button
¢ page 57, fig. 60.
Emergency off function*
If it is absolutely necessary, the engine can also
be turned
off while driving at speeds starting at
4 mph (7 km/h). To switch the engine
off, press
the
! START ENGINE STOPI button twice in a row
briefly or press and hold for longer than two sec­
onds.
_&. WARNING
- Never turn off the engine before the vehicle
has come to a complete stop.
58
- Please note that the brake booster and pow­
er steering only work when the engine is
running. When the engine
off, you must use
more force to steer or brake the vehicle. Be­
cause the usual steering and braking capa­
bility is not available, the risk of accidents or
. . . . mJunes increases.
- For safety reasons, always park the vehicle
with the selector lever in the P position.
Otherwise, there is the risk that the vehicle
could roll.
- After the engine has been switched off, the
radiator fan can continue to run for up to 10
minutes -even with the ignition switched
off. It can also switch on again after some
time if the coolant temperature rises as the
result of heat buildup or if the engine is al­
ready warm and the engine compartment is
also heated by the sun's rays.
(D Note
If the engine has been under heavy load for
an extended period of time, heat builds up in
the engine compartment after th@ engine is
switched
off and there is a risk of damaging
the engine . For this reason, let the engine run
at idle for approximately two minutes before
shutting it
off.
