Windshield washer nozzles<br />
The windshield washer nozzles are heated<br />
automatically* while the engine is running or<br />
the ignition is switched on.<br />
Washer fluid<br />
Washer fluid antifreeze is flammable.<br />
Therefore, keep it away from ignition<br />
sources and only store it in the closed original<br />
container that is kept out of reach of children;<br />
otherwise, there is a risk of personal injury.<br />
Comply with the instructions on the container.<<br />
Washer fluid filler neck<br />
Only refill washer fluid when the engine is<br />
cool to avoid contact with hot engine<br />
parts. Otherwise, fluid spills constitute a fire<br />
hazard and a risk to personal safety.<<br />
Cruise control*<br />
The concept<br />
Cruise control is available for use at speeds of<br />
approx. 20 mph or 30 km/h. The car then stores<br />
and maintains the speed that you specify using<br />
the lever on the steering column. In order to<br />
maintain the specified speed, the system<br />
brakes the vehicle when the engine braking<br />
effect is insufficient on downhill gradients.<br />
Do not use cruise control when driving at<br />
constant speed is prevented by adverse<br />
conditions, e.g. winding roads, dense traffic or<br />
poor road conditions due to, e.g., snow, rain, ice<br />
or loose surfaces. Otherwise, you could lose<br />
control of the vehicle and cause an accident as<br />
aresult.<<br />
<strong>Manual</strong> transmission<br />
You can shift gears while cruise control is activated.<br />
The system is deactivated when you<br />
drive at very low engine speeds for an extended<br />
period.<br />
One lever for all functions<br />
All washer nozzles are supplied with washer<br />
fluid by the same reservoir.<br />
Fill with water and, if required, with a washer<br />
antifreeze, according to manufacturer's recommendations.<br />
Mix the water and antifreeze before filling<br />
the washer fluid reservoir to make sure<br />
the correct concentration is maintained.<<br />
