Do not use the washers if there is any danger that the fluid will freeze on the windshield. If you do so, your vision could be obscured. To avoid freezing, use a washer fluid antifreeze, refer to Washer fluid. Do not use washing mechanisms when the washer fluid reservoir is empty, otherwise you will damage the washer pump.<
Windshield washer nozzles Both windshield washer nozzles are automati- cally heated with the engine running or the igni- tion switched on.
Rear window wiper
Washer fluid reservoir
All washer nozzles are supplied from one reser- voir. Fill with water and – if required – with a washer antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recom- mendations.
In order to maintain the mixture ratio, mix the washer fluid before filling.<
Capacity approx. 6.3 US quarts/6 liters.
Cruise control*
1 Intermittent mode. When reverse gear is
engaged, continuous operation is switched on automatically
2 Cleaning the rear window
Do not use washing mechanisms when the washer fluid reservoir is empty, other-
wise you will damage the washer pump.<
Washer fluid
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable. Always keep it well away from sparks and open flames, and store it in tightly closed con- tainers well out of the reach of children. Always observe the instructions for use provided on the containers.<
The concept The cruise control with a braking function is available for use at speeds of approx. 20 mph/ 30 km/h and higher. The vehicle stores and maintains the speed that you set using the lever mounted on the steering column. To keep the specified speed constant, the system brakes if the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a downhill grade.
Do not use the cruise control under driv- ing conditions that do not permit a con-
stant speed, e.g. when driving on winding roads, in heavy traffic or in poor road conditions such as snow, rain, ice, and loose road surface. Otherwise you could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident.<

Maintaining current speed Briefly press, arrow 1, or briefly pull, arrow 2 lever. The speed currently being driven is stored and maintained. It is indicated on the speedometer and briefly in the instrument cluster. The controlled speed can drop on uphill grades if the engine output is insufficient. If the engine braking effect is not sufficient on a downhill grade, the system lightly brakes the vehicle.
Increasing desired speed Repeatedly press the lever up to or beyond the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is set. > Each time the lever is pressed up to the
resistance point, the desired speed increases by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.
> Each time the lever is pressed beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed increases by a maximum of 5 mph or 10 km/h.
The system stores the setting and maintains the set speed.
Accelerating with lever Accelerate slightly: Press the lever up to the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is reached. Accelerate more rapidly: Press the lever beyond the resistance point, arrow 1, until the desired speed is reached. The vehicle accelerates without pressure on the accelerator pedal. The system stores the setting and maintains the set speed.
Reducing desired speed Repeatedly pull the lever up to the resistance point or beyond, arrow 2, until the desired speed is displayed. > Each time the lever is pulled up to the resis-
tance point, the desired speed decreases by approx. 1 mph or 1 km/h.
> Each time the lever is pulled beyond the
resistance point, the desired speed is decreased by a maximum of 5 mph or 10 km/h until the minimum speed of 20 mph or 30 km/h is reached.
The system stores the setting and maintains the set speed.
If the speed is to be considerably reduced, depress the brake, as otherwise a dangerous situation could result due to insuf- ficient deceleration.<
Deactivating cruise control Briefly press the lever up or down, arrow 3. The displays in the speedometer go out. In addition, the system is automatically deacti- vated: > when braking > when transmission position N is engaged > when DTC is activated or DSC is deacti-
vated
> when HDC is activated > when DSC or ABS is active Accelerating does not deactivate the cruise control. After releasing the accelerator pedal,

Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
PDC Park Distance Control*
The concept The PDC assists you when you are parking. Acoustic signals and an optical display* alert you to the approach of an object from behind your vehicle. To measure the distance, there are four ultrasonic sensors in each bumper. The range of these sensors is approx. 7 ft/2 m. However, an acoustic warning first sounds for the sensors at the front and at the two rear cor- ners at approx. 24 in/60 cm, and for the center rear sensors at approx. 5 ft/1.50 m.
PDC is a parking aid that can indicate objects when they are approached
slowly, as is usually the case when parking. Avoid approaching an object at high speed, oth- erwise the physical circumstances would mean that the system warning was too late.<
Automatic activation Whenever the engine is running or the ignition is on, each time you move the selector lever into position R, the PDC system is activated after approx.1 second. Wait this short period before driving off.
Manual activation
Press the button, the LED lights up.
Manual deactivation Press the button again; the LED goes out.
80
Automatic deactivation After driving approx. 165 ft/50 m or at over approx. 20 mph/30 km/h, the system is switched off and the LED goes out. You can reactivate the system manually as needed.
Warning tones When nearing an object, the position is corre- spondingly indicated by an interval tone. As a result, an object detected, for example, to the left rear of the vehicle will be indicated by a warning tone from the left rear speaker. As the distance between vehicle and object decreases, the intervals between the tones become shorter. If the distance to the nearest object falls to below roughly 1 ft/30 cm, then a continuous tone sounds. An intermittent tone is interrupted after approx. 3 seconds: > if you remain in front of an object that was only detected by one of the corner sensors
> if you drive parallel to a wall
Adjusting You can adjust the volume of the warning tones if the vehicle is equipped with a single drive, refer to page 79.
Malfunction The LED in the button flashes and a message appears on the Control Display. PDC is mal- functioning. Have the system checked. To prevent this problem, keep the sensors clean and free of ice or snow in order to ensure that they will continue to operate effectively. Do not spray the sensors with high-pressure clean- ers for long periods and maintain a distance of at least 4 in/10 cm to them.
PDC with visual warning* You can also have the system show distances to objects on the Control Display. Objects that are farther away are already shown there before a signal tone sounds. The setting is stored for the remote control cur- rently in use. If the vehicle is equipped with a backup camera, refer to the display of the backup camera on page 83. iDrive, for explanation of concept, refer to page 16. 1. Open the start menu. 2. Press the controller to open the menu. 3. Select "Settings" and press the controller. 4. Select "Vehicle / Tires" and press the con-
troller.
5. Change to upper field if necessary. Turn the controller until "PDC" is selected and press the controller.
and trailer couplings, thin or wedge-shaped objects etc. Low objects already displayed, e.g. a curb, can also disappear from the detection area of the sensors again before or after a con- tinuous tone already sounds. Higher, protrud- ing objects, e.g. ledges, cannot be detected. Loud sources of sound, inside and outside the vehicle, could drown out the PDC signal tone.<
Backup camera*
The concept The backup camera in the liftgate displays the area behind your vehicle on the Control Display. Also check the traffic situation around the vehicle during parking and maneuvering
with direct vision, as otherwise danger of an accident could result, for example, from road users or objects located outside the picture area of the backup camera.<
Switching on
Automatically Engage transmission position R with the engine running or the ignition switched on.
Manually
6. Select "PDC display on" and press the con-
troller.
The PDC screen is activated.
The display appears on the Control Display as soon as PDC is activated.
System limits
Even with PDC, final responsibility for estimating the distance between the
vehicle and any obstructions always remains with the driver. Even when sensors are pro- vided, there is a blind spot in which objects can no longer be detected. The system's detection of objects is also subject to the physical limits that apply to all forms of ultrasonic measure- ment, such as those encountered with tow bars
Press the button. PDC is activated at the same time, refer to page 80.

Using lane and turning circle lines 1. Position the vehicle so that the turning cir- cle line guide within the limits of the parking space.
2. Turn the steering wheel so that the lane
lines cover the corresponding turning circle line.
This results in a steering wheel adjustment that makes full use of the smallest possible turning circle of the vehicle when parking.
Virtual camera pan The picture area is dependent on the current speed: At low speeds, the camera view is panned toward the street, and at higher speeds toward the horizon. This enables the currently relevant picture area to be shown enlarged on the Control Display. To activate the virtual camera pan, select the camera view "Camera view: full screen".
Obstacle marking Spatially shaped markings are shown in the pic- ture of the backup camera. Their stepped col- ors correspond to the markings of the Park Dis- tance Control and support you in estimating the distance to the object shown. The obstacle marking is deactivated when driv- ing in reverse from approx. 12 mph/20 km/h.
Switching off
Automatically When driving forward from a speed of approx. 12 mph/20 km/h or from a driven distance of approx. 164 ft/50 m.
Manually Press the button again; the LED goes out.
Driver assistance functions The following functions can improve the effect of the backup camera depending on the situa- tion. They can only be activated when the tailgates are completely closed.
Lane lines The lane lines are shown in the picture of the backup camera. They help you to estimate the space required when parking and maneuvering on level roads. To estimate the space required, turn the steer- ing wheel so that the lane lines guide into the parking space or the maneuvering area you have chosen.
The lane lines are dependent on the current steering angle and are continuously adjusted to the steering wheel movements.
Turning circle lines The static turning circle lines are displayed in the picture of the backup camera and show you the course of the smallest possible turning cir- cle on level roads.
