Central locking system
Accidental lock-out
To
prevent
yourseLf from being locked out, only
lock the vehicle when the remote control key is
not in the vehicle and all of the doors and the
boot lid are closed.
The central locking system prevents you from be­
ing locked out of the vehicle in the following sit­
uations:
- When the driver's door is open, you cannot Lock
the vehicle by pressing the
M
button on the re­
mote control key or touching the locking
sen­

sor* on one of the doors.
- The boot lid will be released again automatical­
ly if the convenience key* that was last in use is
left inside the boot when the boot lid is closed.
- If the convenience key* that was last in use is
detected in the vehicle, it is not possible to lock
the vehicle from the outside.
A WARNING
- Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle - even if
you
only intend to be
gone for a short time. This is especially im­
portant if children are left in the car. They
might otherwise be able to start the engine
or use power-operated equipment such as
the electric windows - this could lead to in­

juries.

- Locked doors could delay assistance in an
emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the vehicle.
© Note
- Never leave any valuable items in the
vehi­

cle unattended. Even a locked vehicle is not
a safe.
- When you lock the vehicle, the LED on the
driver's window sill flashes. If the LED is
still on about 30 seconds after the vehicle is

locked,
the central locking system is not
working properly. You should have the
mal­

function repaired by
a
qualified workshop.
Description
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the
central locking system. You can use any of the

following:

- Remote control key
^>page

- Interior central locking switch

Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the vehicle
is unlocked and once when the vehicle is locked.
If the turn signals do
not
flash, the ignition may
still be on or one of the doors, the bonnet or the
boot lid may still be open.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function Locks the doors and the
boot lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed of
about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again immediately when
the ignition key is removed, the unlock button on
the central locking switch is pressed or one of the
interior door handles is pulled. The Auto Lock
function can be switched on and off in the info­
tainment system
^> page
41.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags

inflate,
the doors will be automatically unlocked
to facilitate access and assistance.
Selecting which doors are unlocked with the
remote control
When you lock the vehicle, the central locking
system will lock the doors and the boot lid. When
you unlock the vehicle, the central Locking system
will unlock either the driver's door
only,
or all the
locks on the vehicle, depending on the setting
you have selected on the infotainment system

Start/stop system
Description

Applies
to: vehicles with start/stop system
The start/stop system can help to save fuel and
reduce
CO2
emissions.

1)
May vary in different countries
In start/stop mode, the engine is switched off
automatically when the vehicle stops, e.g. at
traffic lights. The ignition remains on during this
stop phase. The engine is automatically started
on demand.
The start/stop system is automatically activated
each
time
you switch on the ignition.
Basic conditions for start/stop mode
- The driver's door must be closed.
- The driver's seat belt must be buckled.
- The bonnet must be closed.
- The vehicle must have been moving at over 3
km/h since the Last stop.
CAUTION
Always switch off the start/stop system

Intelligent technology
Dynamic power management
While the vehicle is moving, this function distrib­
utes the available power to the various electrical
components and systems according to their re­
quirements. It ensures that on-board systems do
not consume more electrical power than is being

generated,
and thus maintains the maximum
possible vehicle battery power level.
® Note
- The power management system is not able
to overcome the given physical limits.
Please remember that the power and life of
the vehicle battery are limited.
- If the indicator lamp
|3 ^page
31 appears,
the starting ability may be impaired.
Starting ability has first priority.
Short trips, city traffic and low temperatures all
place a heavy load on the vehicLe battery. In
these conditions a large amount of power is
con­

sumed,
but only
a
small amount is supplied. The
situation is also critical if electrical equipment is
in use when the engine is not running. In this
case power is consumed when none is being
gen­

erated.

In these situations you will be aware that the
power management system is intervening to
con­

trol the distribution of electrical power.
When the vehicle is parked for long periods
If
you
do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are

using.
This limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
long period. Certain convenience features, such
as remote controL unlocking, may not be availa­

ble.
These functions will be restored when you
switch on the ignition and start the engine.
150
With the engine switched off
If
you
listen to the radio or use the other info­
tainment functions when the engine is not
run­

ning,
this will discharge the vehicle battery.
The infotainment display will show a warning
message before the battery power drops to a Lev­
el where the starting ability is impaired. This
message warns you that the system you are using
will soon be switched off automatically. You
should therefore start the engine if
you
wish to
continue using the system.
When the engine is running
Although the alternator generates electrical
power, the vehicle battery can still become dis­
charged while the vehicle is being driven. This can
occur when a lot of power is being consumed but
only
a
small amount supplied, especially if the
vehicle battery is not fully charged initially.
To restore the necessary energy balance, the sys­
tem
will
then temporarily shut off the electrical
components that are using a lot of power, or re­
duce the current they are consuming. Heating
systems in particular use a Large amount of elec­
trical power. If
you
notice, for instance, that the
seat heating* or the rear window heater is not

working,
they may have been temporarily switch­
ed off or regulated to a lower heat output. These
systems will be available again as soon as
suffi­

cient electrical power is available.
You may also notice that the engine runs at a
slightly faster idling speed. This is quite normal,
and no cause for concern. The increased idling
speed allows the alternator to meet the greater
power requirement and charge the vehicLe bat­
tery at the same time.
Information saved in the
control units
The vehicle is fitted in the factory with electronic
control units that, among other things, control
the engine and the gearbox. The controL units al­
so monitor the exhaust system and the airbags.
The control units continually analyse data rele­
vant to the vehicLe while you are driving. In the •
