● The blower control is in position 1–4.
When the coolin

(+41°F). In the event of prolonged, irregular
distribution of the air flow from the outlets
and significant differences in temperature,

so be outside the camera's angle of vi-
sion when reversing. Note
● It i s
important to take great care and pay

Rear assist settings
Rear assist offers the user the possibility to
change the image's brightness, contrast and
colour settings.
To change these settings:
● Park the vehicle in a safe place.
● Apply the parking brake. ●
Switc
h the ignition on.
● If necessary, switch on the Infotainment
syst
em.
● Engage reverse gear or turn the selector
lever t
o position R.
● Press the --- function button displayed on

age.
● Make the desired adjustments on the menu
by pr
essing the –/+ function buttons or by
moving the corresponding scroll button.
Necessary conditions for parking and ma-
noeuvring with the rear assist
The system should not be used in the follow-
ing cases:
● If the image displayed is not very reliable or
is di
storted, for example low visibility or dirty
lens.
● If the area behind the vehicle is not dis-
pla
yed very clearly or is incomplete.
● If the vehicle is heavily loaded at the rear.
● If the position and installation angle of the
camera h
ave been changed, e.g. after a rear-
end collision. Have the system checked by a
specialised workshop.
Familiarising yourself with the system

4 The cruise control system allows you to drive
at
a c
on
stant speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or
higher without having to press the accelera-
tor. However, the speed is only maintained
within the margin permitted by the engine
power and the braking effect of the engine.
The warning lamp lights up on the general
instrument panel if cruise control is switched
on. WARNING
● For s af
ety reasons the cruise control sys-
tem must not be used in dense traffic or
where roads conditions are poor (e.g. due to
ice, aquaplaning, loose grit, snow). – Risk of
accident!
● The programmed speed can only be re-es-
tabli
shed if it is not too high for current traf-
fic conditions.
● Always switch the cruise control system off
after u
sing it in order to avoid involuntary
use. CAUTION
● The crui se c
ontrol cannot maintain a con-
stant speed when the vehicle is moving
downhill. The vehicle tends to accelerate un-
der its own weight. Therefore, shift down or
use the brake pedal in good time to slow the
vehicle. Note
● In v ehic
les with an automatic gearbox, the
cruise control system cannot be switched on
if the selector lever is in position P, N or R.
● In vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
cruise c
ontrol cannot be switched on if first
gear or reverse gear is engaged. Setting the speed
