exceeded by about 10 km/h. A warning symbol will also appear in the dis-
play ⇒ fig. 56.
The speed warning function has two different warning speeds, which oper-
ate independently and serve slightly different purposes:
Speed limit warning 1 
With speed limit warning 1, the maximum speed can be changed while driv-
ing. The speed limit that has been set remains stored until the ignition is
switched off, or until it is changed or cleared.
The warning symbol  for speed limit warning 1 ⇒ fig. 56 will appear in the
display if you exceed the pre-set speed. It goes out again if the speed is re-
duced below the set speed limit.
The symbol also goes out if the speed is increased to more than about 40
km/h above the set speed for at least 10 seconds. However, this does not
cancel the speed limit that was originally set.
Setting speed limit warning 1 ⇒ page 83.
Speed limit warning 2 
With speed limit warning 2, the speed limit can only be changed or cleared
when the ignition is switched off. You are recommended to store this speed
limit warning if you always wish to be reminded of a particular speed limit.
This could be when driving in countries with general speed limits, or if a
particular speed should not be exceeded when winter tyres are fitted etc.
The speed limit warning symbol  for speed warning 2 will appear in the
display if you exceed the pre-set speed. Unlike speed limit warning 1, the
warning symbol only goes out once the road speed has dropped below the
set value again.
Setting speed limit warning 2 ⇒ page 84.
Note
Please bear in mind that, even with the speed warning function, it is still im-
portant to keep a eye on the vehicle's speed with the speedometer and to
observe the legal speed limits. 
Setting speed limit warning 1
Use the CHECK button to set speed limit warning 1.

Onboard computer Introduction
The onboard computer provides you with useful information
during a journey, including average and current fuel con-
sumption, average speed, distance to empty, driving time
and distance covered.
Fig. 59 Onboard com-
puter: memory 1
Press RESET button B
⇒ fig. 60 to switch back and forward between on-
board computer functions 1 and 2.
The numbers in the display ⇒ fig. 59 indicate which of the two memories is
currently in use. A 1 means that the display is showing the information in
the single journey memory (onboard computer 1). A 2 means that the dis-
play is showing the information in the total journey memory (onboard com-
puter 2). Single-journey memory (onboard computer 1)
The single-journey memory processes the information on a journey from the
time the ignition is switched on until it is switched off. If the journey is re-
sumed within two hours after the ignition is switched off, the new figures
are automatically included in the calculation. If the journey is interrupted for
more than two hours the stored information is automatically erased when
you resume your journey.
Total-journey memory (onboard computer 2)
Unlike the single-journey memory, the total-journey memory is not erased
automatically. Hence, you can determine the period for which you wish the
onboard computer to supply figures.
Distance to empty
The estimated distance to empty is displayed in km. The distance to empty
is displayed in increments of 10 km.
Average fuel consumption
This mode shows the average fuel consumption since the memory was last
cancelled in litres/100 km.
Instantaneous fuel consumption
The display shows the instantaneous fuel consumption in litres/100 km.
When the vehicle is stationary, the computer will display the last value in
the memory.
Average speed
This mode shows the average speed driven since the memory was last can-
celled (in km/h).
Driving time
This display shows the period of time which has elapsed since the memory
was last cancelled. The longest possible period it can cover is 999 hours
and 59 minutes.

Tyre pressure monitoring* Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.
The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10 °C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being 

Unlocking and locking
2 remote control keys
In certain European markets, vehicles with alarm are equipped with 2 re-
mote control keys.
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 particularly important if
there are children in the vehicle, as they might otherwise be able to start
the engine or use power-operated equipment (e.g. the electric windows),
which could cause injuries.
● Wait for the vehicle to come to a standstill before removing the igni-
tion key from the lock! Otherwise, the steering lock could engage sud-
denly, causing an accident.

The condition of the battery in the remote control key is
monitored by the indicator light.

mote control key
Condition of the key battery
The indicator light ⇒ fig. 68 (arrow) flashes when one of the buttons is

Unlocking and locking
Central locking Description
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock
all the doors, the tailgate and the tank flap together.
The central locking system on your vehicle locks and unlocks all the doors
and the tank flap simultaneously. The tailgate is unlocked when the vehicle
is opened. However, the handle must be used to open it. The vehicle can be
locked and unlocked using the remote control ⇒ page 105 or by turning the
key in the lock in the driver door.
The windows can also be centrally opened or closed using the central lock-
ing system ⇒  page 111. The sunroof* can be closed but not opened using
the central locking system.
The central locking system is combined with an anti-theft security system.
If the vehicle is locked with the key from the outside, the interior opening
levers stop working, which prevents unauthorised persons from entering
the vehicle.
Should the central locking system fail to work, you can activate all the locks
individually.
Automatic locking function (Auto Lock)*
The Auto Lock* function automatically locks all doors and the tailgate when
the vehicle exceeds a speed of about 15 km/h.
The vehicle is unlocked again automatically when the ignition key is re-
moved. Alternatively, the driver can also unlock the vehicle using the central
locking switch  or by opening one of the doors.
WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in the vehicle if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors
and windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could
delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
● Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still lock and un-
lock the driver door and the tailgate using the key. Locking the doors man-
ually if central locking fails to work ⇒ page 102.
● The anti-theft mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* cannot be enabled if
the central locking is not working.
● Never leave any valuable items in the vehicle unattended. Even a locked
vehicle is not a safe. 

.
Please note the following when using the central locking switch to lock your
vehicle:
● The doors and the tailgate cannot be opened from the outside (for se-
curity reasons, e.g. when stopped at traffic lights).
● You can open the doors individually from the inside by pulling the inside
door handle.
● When the driver door is open, it cannot be locked by pressing the central
locking switch and then closing the door. This helps to prevent you from be- ing locked out of the vehicle. The door has to be locked separately after it
has been closed.
●
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, doors locked
from the inside will be automatically unlocked to facilitate access and assis-
tance.
WARNING
The central locking switch is still operative when the ignition is switched
off. This switch can be used to automatically lock all the doors and the
tailgate. However, since this makes it difficult to enter the vehicle from
the outside, you should never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Locked doors could delay assistance in an emergency, potentially putting
lives at risk.
Note
The central locking switch inside the vehicle will not be operative if the anti-
theft mechanism has been enabled. 
Security central locking*
The security central locking feature allows you to only unlock
the driver door and the tank flap. All other doors and the
tailgate remain locked.
Unlocking the driver door and tank flap
– Turn the key once to the unlock position, or press the unlock
button on the remote control once. 
