Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Integrated universal remote control The concept The integrated universal remote control can op‐ erate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled sys‐ tems such as garage door drives or lighting sys‐ tems. The integrated universal remote control replaces up to 3 different hand-held transmit‐ ters. To operate the remote control, the buttons on the interior rearview mirror must be program‐ med with the desired functions. The hand-held transmitter for the particular system is required in order to program the remote control.
During programming During programming and before activat‐ ing a device using the integrated universal re‐ mote control, ensure that there are no people, animals, or objects in the range of movement of the remote-controlled device; otherwise, there is a risk of injury or damage. Also follow the safety instructions of the hand- held transmitter.◀ Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored functions for the sake of security. Compatibility
If this symbol is printed on the packaging or in the instructions of the system to be controlled, the system is generally com‐
patible with the integrated universal remote control. If you have any questions, please contact: ▷ Your service center. ▷ www.homelink.com on the Internet. HomeLink is a registered trademark of Johnson Controls, Inc. Controls on the interior rearview mirror

Things to remember when driving Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km. Brake system Brakes require an initial break-in period of ap‐ prox. 300 miles/500 km to achieve optimized contact and wear patterns between brake pads and discs. Drive moderately during this break-in period. Clutch The function of the clutch reaches its optimal level only after a distance driven of approx. 300 miles/500 km. During this break-in period, engage the clutch gently. Following part replacement The same breaking in procedures should be ob‐ served if any of the components mentioned above have to be renewed in the course of the vehicle's operating life.
General driving notes Closing the trunk lid
Drive with the trunk lid closed Only drive with the tailgate closed; other‐ wise, in the event of an accident or braking or evasive maneuvers, passengers or other road users may be injured or the vehicle may be dam‐ aged. In addition, exhaust fumes may enter the passenger compartment.◀ If driving with the tailgate open cannot be avoided: ▷ Close all windows and the glass sunroof. ▷ Greatly increase the blower speed. ▷ Drive moderately.
Breaking-in period General information Moving parts need to be broken in to adjust to each other. The following instructions will help achieve a long vehicle life and good economy. Engine and differential Always obey the official speed limit. Up to 1,200 miles/2,000 km Do not exceed the maximum engine and road speed: ▷ For gasoline engine, 4,500 rpm and
100 mph/160 km/h.
Avoid full-throttle operation and use of the transmission's kickdown mode for the initial miles. From 1,200 miles/2,000 km The engine and vehicle speed can gradually be increased. Tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac‐ tion potential until after an initial breaking-in pe‐ riod.

Driving tips
Hot exhaust system Hot exhaust system High temperatures are generated in the
exhaust system. Do not remove the heat shields installed and never apply undercoating to them. When driv‐ ing, standing at idle and while parking, take care to avoid possible contact between the hot ex‐ haust system and any highly flammable materi‐ als such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of serious personal injury as well as property damage. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.◀

The marked area is not covered with heat re‐ flective coating. Use this area for garage door openers, devices for electronic toll collection, etc.
Climate control laminated tinted safety glass The vehicle glass provides full protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation on the skin. Mobile communication devices in the vehicle
Mobile communication devices in the ve‐ hicle
It is advised that you do not use mobile commu‐ nication devices, e.g., mobile phones, inside the
vehicle without connecting them directly to the external antenna. Otherwise, the vehicle elec‐ tronics and mobile communication devices can interfere with each other. In addition, there is no assurance that the radiation generated during transmission will be discharged from the vehicle interior.◀
Hydroplaning On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and road surface. This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐ ing. It is characterized by a partial or complete loss of contact between the tires and the road surface, ultimately undermining your ability to steer and brake the vehicle.
Hydroplaning When driving on wet or slushy roads, re‐
duce your speed to prevent hydroplaning.◀
Driving through water Drive though calm water only if it is not deeper than 9.8 inches/25 cm and at this height, no faster than walking speed, up to 6 mph/10 km/h. Adhere to water depth and speed limita‐ tions
Do not exceed this water depth and walking speed; otherwise, the vehicle's engine, the elec‐ trical systems and the transmission may be damaged.◀
Braking safely Your vehicle is equipped with ABS as a standard feature. Applying the brakes fully is the most effective way of braking in situations when this is neces‐ sary. The vehicle maintains steering responsiveness. You can still avoid any obstacles with a minimum of steering effort.

Driving tips
Things to remember when driving
Avoid load on the brakes Avoid placing excessive load on the brake system. Light but consistent brake pressure can lead to high temperatures, brake wear and pos‐ sibly even brake failure.◀
Do not drive in neutral Do not drive in neutral or with the engine stopped, as doing so disables engine braking. In addition, steering and brake assist is unavailable with the engine stopped.◀
Brake disc corrosion Corrosion on the brake discs and contamination on the brake pads are furthered by: ▷ Low mileage. ▷ Extended periods when the vehicle is not
used at all.
▷ Infrequent use of the brakes. Corrosion occurs when the minimum pressure that must be exerted by the pads during brake applications to clean the discs is not reached. Should corrosion form on the brake discs, the brakes will tend to respond with a pulsating ef‐ fect that generally cannot be corrected. Condensation under the parked vehicle When using the automatic climate control, con‐ densation water develops that exits underneath the vehicle. Therefore, traces of condensed water under the vehicle are normal.
Pulsation of the brake pedal and sounds from the hydraulic circuits indicate that ABS is in its active mode. Objects in the area around the pedals No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly fixed in place. Ensure that the floor mats are securely fastened again after they were removed for cleaning, for example.◀
Driving in wet conditions When roads are wet or there is heavy rain, briefly exert gentle pressure on the brake pedal every few miles. Ensure that this action does not endanger other road users. The heat generated in this process helps dry the brake discs and pads. In this way braking efficiency will be available when you need it. Hills Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Otherwise, the brake system may overheat, resulting in a reduction in the brake system efficiency. Manual transmission: You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down, going all the way to first gear, if necessary. Automatic transmission: You can increase the engine's braking effect by shifting down in the manual mode of the auto‐ matic transmission.

Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
General information Overloading the vehicle To avoid exceeding the approved carrying capacity of the tires, never overload the vehicle. Overloading can lead to overheating and in‐ creases the rate at which damage develops in‐ side the tires.

hicle and unstable driving situations may result.
2. Determine the combined weight of the
driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kilograms or YYY pounds.
4. The resulting figure equals the available
amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the YYY amount equals 1,000 lbs and there will be four 150 lbs pas‐ sengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail‐ able cargo and luggage load capacity is 400 lbs: 1,000 lbs minus 600 lbs = 400 lbs. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
Load
The maximum load is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo. The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported.

Saving fuel
Saving fuel Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
General information Your vehicle contains advanced technology for the reduction of fuel consumption and emis‐ sions. Fuel consumption depends on a number of dif‐ ferent factors. The implementation of certain measures, driv‐ ing style and regular maintenance can have an influence on fuel consumption and on the envi‐ ronmental impact.
Remove unnecessary cargo Additional weight increases fuel consumption.
Remove attached parts following use Remove auxiliary mirrors, roof or rear luggage racks which are no longer required following use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the fuel consumption.
Close the windows and glass sunroof Driving with the glass sunroof and windows open results in increased air resistance and raises fuel consumption.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation pressure at least twice a month and before start‐ ing on a long trip. Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling re‐ sistance and thus raises fuel consumption and tire wear.
Drive away without delay Do not wait for the engine to warm up while the vehicle remains stationary. Start driving right away, but at moderate engine speeds. This is the fastest way for the cold engine to reach its operating temperature.
Look well ahead when driving Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking. By maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle driving ahead of you. Driving smoothly and looking ahead reduces fuel consumption.
Avoid high engine speeds Use 1st gear to get the vehicle in motion. Be‐ ginning with 2nd gear, accelerate rapidly. When accelerating, shift up before reaching high en‐ gine speeds.
176
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 903 008 - 07 12 490
When you reach the desired speed, shift into the highest applicable gear and drive with the en‐ gine speed as low as possible and at a constant speed. As a rule: driving at low engine speeds lowers fuel consumption and reduces wear. The gear shift indicator of your vehicle indicates the most fuel efficient gear.
Use coasting conditions When approaching a red light, take your foot off the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a halt. On a downhill gradient, take your foot off the ac‐ celerator and let the vehicle roll. The flow of fuel is interrupted while coasting.
Switch off the engine during longer stops Switch off the engine during longer stops, e.g., at traffic lights, railroad crossings or in traffic congestion. Auto Start/Stop function The Auto Start/Stop function of your vehicle au‐ tomatically switches off the engine during a stop. If the engine is switched off and then restarted rather than leaving the engine running con‐ stantly, fuel consumption and emissions are re‐ duced. Savings can begin within a few seconds of switching off the engine. Using this system can cause certain compo‐ nents of the vehicle to become worn prema‐ turely. In addition, fuel consumption is also determined by other factors, such as driving style, road con‐ ditions, maintenance or environmental factors.
Saving fuel
Driving tips
Switch off any functions that are not currently needed Functions such as seat heating and the rear win‐ dow defroster require a lot of energy and con‐ sume additional fuel, especially in city and stop- and-go traffic. Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed.
