This could result in burns or frostbite in the
immediate vicinity of the air vents. #
Alw ays ensure that all vehicle occu‐
pants maintain a suf ficient di stance to
th e air vents. #
If necessa ry,re direct the air flow to
ano ther area of theve hicle interior. To

This jeopardises
the operating and road
saf ety of theve hicle. #
Stow all objects in theve hicle securely
so that they cannot getinto the driver's
fo ot we ll. #
Alw aysfit th efloor mats securely and
as prescribed in order toensure that
th ere is alw ays suf ficient room forthe
pedals. #
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
place floor mats on top of one ano ther. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable foot we ar
Operating the pedals may be impaired by
we aring unsuitable foot we ar, e.g.:
R plat form shoes
R high-heeled shoes
R slippers #
Alw ayswe ar suitable foot we ar when
driving so that you can operate the ped‐
als safel y. &
WARNING Risk of accident when switch‐
ing off the ignition when driving
If yo u swit choff the ignition while driving,
saf ety functions are restricted or no longer
av ailable. This may af fect the po werst eering
sy stem and the brake forc e boosting, for
ex ample.
Yo u will then need touse considerably more
fo rc eto steer and brake. #
Do not switch off the ignition while driv‐
ing. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may over‐
heat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the
brake sy stem may evenfa il. #
Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving. Limited braking ef
fect on salt-trea tedro ads:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To preve nt salt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey ECO display function
The ECO display summarises
your driving char‐
acteristics from thest art of the journey toits
completion and assists you in adopting an ef fi‐
cient driving style to maximise range. 16 6

If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, cruise con‐
trol can neither reduce therisk of an accident
nor override the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take
into account road, weather or traf fic conditions.
Cruise control is only an aid. The driver is
re sponsible for maintaining a safe dis tance to
th eve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for braking
in good time and forst ay ing in lane.

Sy stem limits
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Increase recuperation in good time on long and
st eep downhill gradients. Take particular no teof th
is when driving a laden vehicle. By so doing,
yo u will make use of the electric mo tor's braking
ef fect to charge the high-voltage batter y.This
re lie vesth e load on the brake sy stem and pre‐
ve nts the brakes from overheating and wearing
to oqu ickl y.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R In traf fic situations whi chrequ ire frequent
ch anges of speed, e.g. in heavy traf fic, on
winding roads.
R On slippe ryroads. Accelerating can cause
th e drive wheels tolose traction and the
ve hicle could then skid.
R Ifyo u are driving when visibility is poor.
Fu nction of the limi ter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
re duce the speed tothe set speed, the limiter
applies the brakes automaticall y.
