STARTING AND DRIVING In the power mode, the "ECT PWR" light in the instrument cluster is on and the most suitable shift pattern is selected depending on the driver's operation of accelerator and brake pedal and on the vehicle condition. See "Automatic shifting point change control" on page 356. To return to the normal mode, push the driving pattern selector switch lightly on the "SNOW" side. Snow mode: For slippery road surfaces such as in snow. In this mode, the spinning of the rear wheels is controlled appropriately. When you push the driving pattern selector switch on the "SNOW" side, the snow mode is turned on and the "ECT SNOW" light in the instrument cluster comes on. To return to the normal mode, push the driving pattern selector switch on the "SNOW" side again. When you turn the engine switch off in the snow mode, the electronic throttle control system automatically changes to the normal mode. INTUITIVE PARKING ASSIST G31049 The intuitive parking assist is a warning system used when parking the vehicle at low speed (e.g. into a garage). It uses an ultrasonic sensor, which checks the approximate distance to an obstacle. It will inform you of the approximate distance to an obstacle by displaying information on the multi−information display and the screen, and with beeping sounds. 365
