Note:
If the child safety locks have also
been activated, pulling the internal lever will
only deactivate the emergency locking and
not the child safety lock. The doors can only
be opened using the external door handle.
Note: If the doors have been unlocked using
this method, the doors must be locked
individually until the central locking function
has been repaired.
Unlock the driver's door using the key. The
other doors can be unlocked individually
by pulling the interior door handles on
those doors.
KEYLESS ENTRY
General information WARNING
The keyless entry system may not
function if the key is close to metal
objects or electronic devices such as
mobile phones. The passive entry system will not function
if:

The vehicle battery is flat.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
Note: If the passive entry system does not
function, you will need to use the key blade
to lock and unlock your vehicle.
The keyless system allows the driver to
operate the vehicle without the use of a
key or remote control. Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately one and
a half metres from the driver and front
passenger door handles and the luggage
compartment lid.
Passive key
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. The passive key can
also be used as a remote control. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 39).
Locking the vehicle
WARNING
The vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If the locking function
is not activated, the vehicle will
remain unlocked. Note:
The ignition will automatically switch
off when you lock your vehicle from the
outside. This is to prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging.
Note: Do not grab the door handle.

Parking heater
WARNINGS
The parking heater must not be
operated at filling stations, near
sources of combustible vapours or
dust or in enclosed spaces. The parking heater should be
switched on for approximately 10
minutes at least once a month all
year round. This prevents the water pump
and heater motor from seizing. Note:
The parking heater will only operate
if there is at least 7.5 litres (1.6 gallons) of
fuel in the fuel tank and the ambient
temperature is below 15°C (59°F). The
heater will not operate if the battery is low.
Note: The heating depends on the outside
air temperature.
Note: When the parking heater is activated,
exhaust fumes may come from under the
sides of the vehicle. This is normal.
Note: On vehicles with manual climate
control the heating of the vehicle interior is
dependent on the temperature, air
distribution and blower control settings.
The parking heater operates independently
of the vehicle heater by heating the
engine ’s coolant circuit. It is fed from the
vehicle fuel tank. You can also use it while
the vehicle is in motion to help the vehicle
heater warm up the interior more quickly.
Used properly, the parking heater provides
the following benefits: •
It preheats the interior of the vehicle.
• It keeps the windows clear of ice in the
event of frost and prevents
condensation.
• It avoids cold starts and allows the
engine to reach operating temperature
sooner.
To prevent the battery from discharging:
• Once the parking heater has performed
one heating cycle, the next
programmed heating cycle will only be
carried out if you have started the
vehicle ’s engine in between.
• After a heating cycle, drive the vehicle
for at least the period of the heating
cycle.
Programming the parking heater
Note: The programmed time is the time at
which you wish the vehicle to be warm and
ready to drive, not the time at which the
heater switches on.
Note: You must programme the times at
least 70 minutes in advance of the time you
wish to set.
Note: You must set the time and date
correctly. See Clock (page 122).
To programme the heating times:
1. Use the arrow buttons on the steering wheel to enter the main menu. See
Information Displays (page 83).
2. Select the park heater option.

General points on starting
If the battery has been disconnected the
vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approx. 8 kilometres (5
miles) after reconnecting the battery.
This is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the engine.
Any unusual driving characteristics during
this period may be disregarded.

push or tow start your vehicle. Use
booster cables and a booster battery.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Note:
For optimum performance when
using any auxiliary device set the volume on
the device high. This will reduce audio
interference when charging the device via
the vehicle power supply socket.
When fitted the Auxiliary input (AUX IN)
socket permits an auxiliary device, such as
an MP3 player, to be linked into the vehicle
audio system. Output can be played
through the vehicle speakers.
To connect an auxiliary device, plug it into
the AUX IN socket using a 3.5 mm
conventional audio jack connector.
Select the auxiliary input via the AUX
button and playback will be heard through
the vehicle speakers. LINE IN or LINE IN
ACTIVE will appear in the vehicle audio
unit display. Volume, treble and bass can
be adjusted on the vehicle audio unit as
normal.
The vehicle audio unit buttons can also be
used to restore playback from the vehicle
audio unit, while the auxiliary device
remains connected.
