78* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Insert and remove the remote control
key
Ignition switch with remote control key extracted/
inserted.
NOTE
For cars with the Keyless* function the key
does not need to be inserted into the ignition
switch but can be stored in e.g. a pocket.
For more information on Keyless functions -
see page 53.
Insert the key1. Hold the end of the remote control key with
the detachable key blade and insert the key
in the ignition switch.
2. Then press the key in the lock up to its end
position.
IMPORTANT
Foreign objects in the ignition switch may
jeopardise the function or destroy the lock.
Do not press the remote control key incor-
rectly turned - Hold the end with the detach-
able key blade, see page 48.
Withdraw the key
•Push the remote control key, allow it to
eject, then pull it out from the ignition
switch.
Functions at different levels
In order to enable the use of a limited number
of functions with the engine switched off, the
car's electrical system can be set in 3 different
levels (key positions) - 0, I and II - with the
remote control key. Throughout this owner's
manual these levels are described using the
denomination "key positions".
The following table shows the functions avail-
able in each key position/level.
LevelFunctions
0•Odometer, clock and tem-
perature gauge are illumi-
nated.
•Power seats can be adjusted.
•The audio system can be
used for a limited time - see
page 234.
I•Sunroof, power windows, 12
V socket in the passenger
compartment, RTI, phone,
ventilation fan and wind-
screen wipers can be used.
II•The headlamps come on.
•Warning/indicator lamps illu-
minate for 5 seconds.
•Several other systems are
activated. However, heating
in seat cushions and the rear
window can only be activated
after the engine has been
started.
This key position consumes a
lot of current from the starter
battery and should therefore be
avoided!

Wipers and washing
03
98* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Windscreen wipers1
Windscreen wipers and windscreen washers.
Rain sensor, on/off
Thumbwheel sensitivity/frequency
Windscreen wipers offMove the stalk switch to position 0 to
switch off the windscreen wipers.
Single sweepRaise the stalk switch and release to
make one sweep.
Intermittent wipingSet the number of sweeps per time
unit with the thumbwheel when inter-
mittent wiping is selected.
Continuous wipingThe wipers sweep at normal speed.
The wipers sweep at high speed.
IMPORTANT
Before activating the wipers during winter -
ensure that the wiper blades are not frozen
in and that any snow or ice on the wind-
screen (and rear window) is scraped away.
IMPORTANT
Use plenty of washer fluid when the wipers
are cleaning the windscreen. The wind-
screen must be wet when the windscreen
wipers are operating.
Service position wiper bladeFor cleaning the windscreen/wiper blades and
replacement of wiper blades see see
page 341 and 361.
Rain sensor*The rain sensor automatically starts the wind-
screen wipers based on how much water it
detects on the windscreen. The sensitivity ofthe rain sensor can be adjusted using the
thumbwheel.
When the rain sensor is activated a light in the
button the rain sensor symbol
is shown
in the right-hand display in the combined
instrument panel.
Activating and setting the sensitivityWhen activating the rain sensor, the car must
be running or the remote control key in position
I or II while the windscreen wiper stalk switch
must be in position 0 or in the position for a
single sweep.
Activate the rain sensor by pressing the button
. The windscreen wipers make one
sweep.
Press the stalk switch up for the wipers to make
an extra sweep.
Turn the thumbwheel upward for higher sensi-
tivity and downward for lower sensitivity. (An
extra sweep is made when the thumbwheel is
turned upward.)
DeactivateDeactivate the rain sensor by pressing the but-
ton
or move the stalk switch down to
another wiper program.

The rain sensor is automatically deactivated
when the remote control key is removed from
the ignition switch or five minutes after the
engine has been switched off.
IMPORTANT
The windscreen wipers could start and be
damaged in an automatic car wash. Deac-
tivate the rain sensor while the car is running
or the remote control key is in position I or
II. The symbol in the combined instrument
panel and the lamp in the button go out.
Washing the headlamps and windows
Washing function.
Washing the windscreenMove the stalk switch toward the steering
wheel to start the windscreen and headlamp
washers.
The windscreen wipers will make several more
sweeps and the headlamps are washed once
the stalk switch has been released.
Heated washer nozzles*The washer nozzles are heated automatically
in cold weather to prevent the washer fluid
freezing solid.
High-pressure headlamp washing*High-pressure headlamp washing consumes a
large quantity of washer fluid. To save fluid, the
headlamps are washed automatically at every
fifth windscreen wash cycle.
Reduced washingIf only approx. 1 litre of washer fluid remains in
the reservoir and the message that you should
fill the washer fluid is shown in the combined
instrument panel's display, then the supply of
washer fluid to the headlamps is switched off.
This is in order to prioritise cleaning the wind-
screen and the visibility through it.
Wiping and washing the rear window
Rear window wiper – intermittent wiping
Rear window wiper – continuous speed
Press the stalk switch forward (see the arrow
in the illustration above) to initiate rear window
washing and wiping.
NOTE
The rear window wiper is equipped with
overheating protection which means that
the motor is switched off if it overheats. The
rear window wiper works again after a cool-
ing period (30 seconds or longer, depending
on the heat in the motor and the outside
temperature).

Compass*
03
106* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Rearview mirror with compass.
The upper right-hand corner of the rearview
mirror has an integrated display that shows the
compass direction in which the front of the car
is pointing. Eight different directions are shown
with English abbreviations:
N (north), NE (north
east), E (east), SE (south east), S (south), SW(south west), W (west) and NW (north west).
The compass is activated automatically when
the car is started or in key position II, see
page 78. To deactivate/activate the compass -
press in the button on the underside of the mir-
ror using a paper clip for example.
CalibrationThe earth is divided into 15 magnetic zones.
The compass is set for the geographic area to
which the car was delivered. The compassshould be calibrated if the car is moved across
several magnetic zones. Proceed as follows:
1. Stop the car in a large open area free from
steel structures and high-voltage power
lines.
2. Start the car.
NOTE
For optimum calibration - switch off all elec-
trical equipment (climate control system,
wipers etc.) and make sure that all doors are
closed.
3. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 6 seconds (using a paper clip for
example) until the character
C is shown.
G030295
Magnetic zones.
4. Hold the button on the underside of the
rearview mirror depressed
approx. 3 seconds. The number of the cur-
rent magnetic zone is shown.
5. Press the button repeatedly until the
required magnetic zone (
1–15) is shown.
See the map of magnetic zones for the
compass.
6. Wait until the display resumes showing the
character
C.
7. Drive slowly in a circle at a speed of no
more than 10 km/h until a compass direc-
tion is shown in the display, indicating that
calibration is complete. Then drive a further
2 circles to fine-tune calibration.
8. Repeat the above procedure as necessary.

Road sign information - RSI*
04
148* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General information on RSI
Examples of readable speed signs1.
The Road sign information function (RSI – Road
Sign Information) helps the driver to remember
which road signs the car has passed through
information on - among other things - the cur-
rent speed, the start/end of a motorway or
road, and when overtaking is prohibited.
If a sign for both a motorway/road for motor-
ised traffic and a sign showing the maximum
permitted speed are passed, RSI decides to
show the sign symbol for maximum permitted
speed.
WARNING
RSI does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely and that applicable road traffic rules
and regulations are followed.
Operation
Recorded speed information.
When RSI has recorded a road sign with an
imposed speed, the sign is displayed as a sym-
bol on the instrument panel.Together with the symbol for
the current speed limit, a sign
showing that overtaking is
prohibited may also be dis-
played where appropriate.
Additional signs
Examples of additional signs1.
Sometimes different speed limits are signpos-
ted for the same road - an additional sign then
indicates the circumstances under which the
different speeds apply. The road section may
be particularly susceptible to accidents in rain
and/or fog, for example.
An additional sign relating to rain is displayed
only if the windscreen wipers are in use.
1Road signs which are displayed in the instrument panel are dependent on the market - the illustration only shows a few examples.
