Warning!
When closing the tilt/sliding sunroof, make sure there is no danger of anyone being harmed by the closing procedure.
The opening/closing procedure of the tilt/sliding sunroof can be immediately halted by releasing the switch or, if the switch was moved past the resistance point and released, by moving the switch in any direction.
The tilt/sliding sunroof is made out of glass. In the event of an accident, the glass may shatter. This may result in an opening in the roof.
In a vehicle rollover, occupants not wearing their seat belts or not wearing them properly may be thrown out of the opening. Such an opening also presents a potential for injury for occupants wearing their seat belts properly as entire body parts or portions of them may protrude from the passenger compartment.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the SmartKey from the starter switch, take it with you, and lock the vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsuper- vised use of vehicle equipment can cause an accident and/or serious personal injury.
To avoid damaging the seals, do not transport any objects with sharp edges which can stick out of the tilt/sliding sunroof. Do not open the tilt/sliding sunroof if there is snow or ice on the roof, as this could result in malfunctions. The tilt/sliding sunroof can be opened or closed manually should an electrical malfunction occur (컄 page 389).
You can also open or close the tilt/slid- ing sunroof using the SmartKey, see “Summer opening feature” (컄 page 241) and “Convenience clos- ing feature” (컄 page 241). Depending on current position, the tilt/sliding sunroof may also open or close when the air recirculation button , in the control panel of the climate control (컄 page 175) or auto- matic climate control* (Canada only) (컄 page 191), or the charcoal filter button e in the control panel of the automatic climate control* (Canada only) (컄 page 193) is pressed and held.

왔 Driving systems The driving system of your vehicle is described on the following pages: 앫 Cruise control, with which the vehicle
can maintain a preset speed.
For information on the BAS, ABS and ESP®, see “Driving safety systems” (컄 page 82).
Cruise control
The cruise control automatically maintains the speed you set for your vehicle. The use of cruise control is recommended for driving at a constant speed for extend- ed periods of time. You can set or resume cruise control at any speed over 20 mph (30 km/h). The cruise control function is operated by means of the cruise control lever. The cruise control lever is the uppermost lever on the left-hand side of the steering column (컄 page 22).
Controls in detail Driving systems
Warning!
The cruise control is a convenience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The driver is and must always re- main responsible for the vehicle’s speed and for safe brake operation.
Only use cruise control if the road, traffic and weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a steady speed. 앫 The use of cruise control can be danger- ous on winding roads or in heavy traffic because conditions do not allow safe driving at a steady speed.
앫 The use of cruise control can be danger- ous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction can result in wheel spin and loss of control.
앫 Deactivate cruise control when driving
in fog.
The “Resume” function should only be oper- ated if the driver is fully aware of the previ- ously set speed and wishes to resume this particular preset speed.

speed.
왘 Briefly lift 1 or depress 2 the cruise
control lever. The current speed is set.
왘 Remove your foot from the accelerator
pedal. Cruise control is activated.

Moving the gear selector lever to position N while driving also cancels cruise control. However, the gear selector lever should not be moved to position N while driving, except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g. on icy roads).
The last stored speed is canceled when you turn off the engine.
On uphill or downhill grades, cruise control may not be able to maintain the set speed. Once the grade eases, the set speed will be resumed.
Canceling cruise control There are several ways to cancel cruise control: 왘 Step on the brake pedal.
Cruise control is canceled. The last speed set is stored for later use.
or 왘 Briefly push the cruise control lever to
position 3. Cruise control is canceled. The last speed set is stored for later use.
Setting a higher speed 왘 Lift cruise control lever to position 1 and hold it up until the desired speed is reached.
왘 Release cruise control lever.
The new speed is set.
Depressing the accelerator pedal does not deactivate cruise control. After brief acceleration (e.g. for passing), cruise control will resume the last speed set.
Setting a lower speed 왘 Depress cruise control lever to
position 2 and hold it down until the desired speed is reached.
왘 Release cruise control lever.
The new speed is set.
When you use the cruise control lever to decelerate, the transmission will automatically downshift if the engine’s braking power does not brake the vehicle sufficiently.

The total load weight including vehicle occupants and luggage/cargo should not exceed the load limit or vehicle capacity weight indicated on the corresponding placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar. The handling characteristics of a fully load- ed vehicle depend greatly on the load dis- tribution. It is therefore recommended to load the vehicle according to the illustra- tions shown, with the heaviest items being placed towards the front of the vehicle.
Always place items being carried against front or rear seat backrests, and fasten them as securely as possible. The heaviest portion of the cargo should al- ways be kept as low as possible since it in- fluences the handling characteristics of the vehicle.
Warning!
Always fasten items being carried as secure- ly as possible using cargo tie-down rings and fastening materials appropriate for the weight and size of the load.
In an accident, during hard braking or sud- den maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle and can cause in- jury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle.
To help avoid personal injury during a colli- sion or sudden maneuver, exercise care when transporting cargo.
Never drive vehicle with trunk open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter ve- hicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death.
The trunk is the preferred place to carry objects. The enlarged cargo area should only be used for items which do not fit in the trunk alone.
Cargo tie-down rings*
The four cargo tie-down rings are located in the trunk.
Cargo tie-down rings 왘 Carefully secure cargo by applying
even load on all rings with rope sufficient strength to hold down the cargo. Always follow loading instructions (컄 page 254).
