er intervals, move the switch ® to the left/right.
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.
(D Tips
- The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
w indshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the w indshield
w iper lever to any position.
- Wor n or dirty windshield w iper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function . Check your w indshield w iper
blades regularly .

Driving
General information
Breaking in
A new vehicle must be broken in, and the break­
in distance should be 1,000 mi les ( 1,500 km). Do
not drive at speeds that w ill exceed
2/3 of the
maximum permitted engine speed
(RPM) for the
first 600 miles (1,000 km) , and avoid full accel­
eration during this period . You may gradually
start increasing the
RPM and the speed between
600 miles (1,000 km) and 1,000 miles (1,500
km).
During the first hours of use, the engine has a
higher internal friction than later on when all
moving parts have settled into place with each
other.
How the vehicle is driven during the first 1,000
miles (1,500 km) also affects the engine quality.
Drive at moderate engine speeds after the initial
break-in per iod, part icularly when running a cold
engine . This will reduce engine wear and improve
the mileage .
Do not drive at too low of an engine speed (rpm).
Shift down if the engine stops running "smooth­
ly" . Extremely high eng ine speeds are automati ­
cally reduced .
Avoid damaging the vehicle
When you are driving on poor roads, or over
curbs, steep ramps, etc., make certain that low­
lying parts such as spoilers and exhaust system
parts do not bottom out and get damaged.
This is especially true for vehicles with low-slung
chassis (sports chassis)* and fully loaded
vehicles.
Driving through water on roads
Note the following to reduce the risk of vehicle
damage when driving through water, for examp le
on flooded roads :
- The wate r must not be any higher than the bot­
tom of the vehicle body .
Driving
- Do not drive faster than walking speed.
A WARNING
After driv ing through water or mud, the effec­
tiveness of the brakes may be reduced due to moisture on the brake rotors and brake pads.
A few careful brake applications should dry
off the brakes .
(D Note
Vehicle components such as the engine,
transmission, suspension or electrical system
can be severely damaged by driving through
water.
(D Tips
- Determine the depth before driving through
water.
- Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through
water.
- Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid dr iving through salt water, because
this can cause corrosion.
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
T he amount of fuel consumpt ion, the environ­
menta l impact and the wear to the engine,
brakes and tires depends mostly on your driving
style. With an anticipatory and economic driving
style, fuel consumption can be reduced by ap­
proximately 10-15%. The following tips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at
the same time .
Anticipatory driving
A vehicle uses the most fuel when accelerating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and so you accelerate less.
When possible, let your vehicle coast with a
gear
engaged -
for example, when you notice that the
next traff ic light is red . .,,.

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,
