CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light in the instrument cluster can be delayed or does
not light up at all.NoteThe warning light comes on after the ignition is switched on if the vehicle's
battery has been disconnected and reconnected. If the indicator light does not
go out after moving a short distance, this means that there is an error in the
system. Seek help from a specialist garage.
Fuel reserve
Read and observe
on page 34 first.
When the warning light
is illuminated , this means there is a fuel reserve of
under around 7 litres left.

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
unlocking
› The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
› The interior light, which is switched by the door contact, comes on.
› The SafeLock system is switched off.
› The warning icon in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on. This function is intended to
prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Depending on the equipment configuration, the following is true after
locking
› The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.

ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away
» page 179 .
■
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.

The lights work only with the ignition on, unless otherwise stated.
The layout of the controls on right-hand drive vehicles differs partially from
that shown in » Fig. 41 on page 60 . The symbols which mark the positions of
the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be observed
» page 144 , Headlight glasses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
WARNING (Continued)■ The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the lights and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the prevailing light condi-
tions. The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under
these conditions we recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the parking lights on! The parking lights are not
bright enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen
by other oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when
it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, al-
though the headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.■
The instruments are also illuminated when the parking light, low or high
beam light is switched on. The brightness of the instrument lighting can be ac-
tivated or deactivated in the Infotainment » Operating instructions for Info-
tainment , chapter Vehicle settings (CAR button) .
