[ i] Tips
The replacement battery must be the same specification as the original. •
Electronic immobilizer
The immobilizer helps to prevent unauthorized use of
your vehicle.
A computer chip inside your key automatically deactivates the elec ­
tronic immobilizer when you insert the key in the ignition lock, or on
vehicles with Advanced Key *, when the key is inside the vehicle.
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, or on vehicles with
Advanced Key, when you remove the key from the vehicle, the elec ­
tronic immobilizer is automatically activated once again .
If an unauthorized key was used , SAFE is displayed continuously in
the odometer display field.
& WARNING
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The key
can disarm the electronic engine immobilizer and permit an unau­
thorized person to start the engine and enable operation of the
vehicle systems such as power window or power sunroof* leading
to serious personal injury.
[ i] Tips
• Your engine can only be started using the factory -equipped key.
• You may no t be able to start your vehicle if an ignition key of a
different vehicle make is also located on your set of keys. •

Solar roof*
The solar cel ls in the roof provide energy to operate the ventilation
system for the climate control. It is ac tivated automatically after the
vehic le is parked. Depending on solar irradiation, the interior
t empe ratu re of the veh ic le is lowered in the summer, i n the winte r
the interior is dehumid ified .
The interior trim is permanently attached to the solar roof and cannot be s lid separate ly .
S olar prote ction w ith sliding gla ss sun roof*
The s liding glass sun ro of is equipped with an adjustable sunshade
to reduce the effects of strong sun light. The solar protection can be
moved at the recessed ha ndle to o pen and close it. To p revent the
vehic le interior from heating up, you shou ld c lose the solar protec ­
tion when you park your vehicle in the sun.
When the roof is
slid open , the sunshad e is opened aut omat ically.
When the roof is c losed, the sunshade can be closed manual ly.
When the roof is
tilt ed open, the closed sunshade is also raised at
the rear edge . But it can still be sl id open or closed.
0 Note
You shou ld always closed the sliding/ti lting sun roof when you leave

The air outlets are actuated either automatically or manually
depending on the operating mode selected. Heated or unheated
fresh air, or cooled air flows from the vents.
The air outlets to heat the rear footwell are located under the front
seats .
[ i] Tips
If the climate control system is operating in cooling mode, air flows
primarily from the outlets in the center console and in the door
pillars. To achieve adequate cooling, you should never close the
outlets completely. •
Using climate control economically
Using the climate controls prudently can help save fuel.
When you use the air conditioner, engine power is reduced
and fuel consumption increases. To save fuel, you should use the air conditioner only when necessary. Also please
note the following points:
- If you want to save fuel, activate ECON.
- If you are going to drive with the windows open, use
ECON.
If the vehicle is extremely hot due to the heat of the sun,
briefly open doors and windows.
~ For the sake of the environment
By reducing the amount of fuel you use, you also reduce the amount
of pollutants emitted into the air. •
