lock the vehicle.
To activate central locking and arm the
alarm:
•
Touch a front door handle lock sensor
once.
To activate double locking and arm the
alarm:
• Touch a front door handle lock sensor
twice within three seconds.
Note: There must be clearance between
each touch of the door handle.
Note: Once activated, the vehicle will
remain locked for approximately three
seconds. When the delay period is over, the
doors can be opened again, provided the
passive key is within the respective
detection range.
Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors and
the luggage compartment lid have been
locked and that the alarm has been armed.
Luggage compartment lid
Note: The luggage compartment lid cannot
be closed and, will pop back up if the
passive key is located inside the vehicle with
the doors locked. Note:
If a second valid passive key is
located within the rear exterior detection
range, the luggage compartment lid can be
closed.
Unlocking the vehicle
Note: If the vehicle remains locked for
longer than three days, the keyless system
will enter an energy-saving mode. This is to
reduce the discharge of the vehicle battery.
When the vehicle is unlocked while in this
mode, the reaction time of the system may
be a little longer than normal. Unlocking the
vehicle once will deactivate the
energy-saving mode.
Note: If the vehicle remains locked for
several weeks, the keyless system will be
disabled. The vehicle must be unlocked
using the key blade. Unlocking the vehicle
once will enable the keyless system.
Note: Do not touch the front door handle
lock sensor when opening a door. Open any door.
Note:
A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the luggage
compartment lid have been unlocked and
that the alarm has been disarmed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The system assists the driver to drive more
efficiently by constantly monitoring
characteristics of gear changing,
anticipation of traffic conditions and
speeds on motorways and open roads.
Note:
These efficiency values do not result
in a defined fuel consumption figure. It might
vary as it is not only related to these driving
disciplines but also influenced by many
other factors such as short journeys and cold
starts.
The value of these characteristics is
represented by petals shown in the display,
with five petals being the most efficient.
The more efficiently you drive, the better
the rating, and the better your overall fuel
consumption. A: Gear shifting
B: Anticipation
C: Efficient speed
Gear shifting
Using the highest drivable gear appropriate
for the road conditions will improve fuel
consumption.
Anticipation
Adjusting your vehicle speed and the
distance to other vehicles without the need
for heavy braking or acceleration will
improve fuel consumption. Efficient speed
Higher speeds use more fuel. Reducing
your cruising speed on open roads will
improve fuel consumption.
USING ECO MODE
The system is accessed using the trip
computer menu. See Trip Computer
(page 89).
Press the SET/RESET button to enter Eco
mode. Use the rotary control to view
individual screens and additional tips on
how to improve your fuel consumption.
Resetting Eco mode
Reset the average fuel consumption.
Note:
New values may take a short time to
calculate.

3. Do not lift the nozzle during refilling. This
can affect the flow of fuel and shut off of
the fuel nozzle before the fuel tank is full. 4. Operate the nozzle within the area
shown.
WARNINGS
We recommend that you remove the
fuel nozzle slowly to allow any
residual fuel to drain into the fuel
tank. Alternatively you can wait 10 seconds
before removing the fuel nozzle. Do not remove the nozzle from its
fully inserted position during the
entire refuelling process. 5. Slightly raise the fuel nozzle to remove
it.
Refuelling with a fuel can
Use the funnel which is located in the glove
box.
REFUELLING
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked by a
properly trained technician immediately. FUEL CONSUMPTION
The CO2 and fuel consumption figures are
derived from laboratory tests according to
EEC Directive 80/1268/EEC and
subsequent amendments and are carried
out by all vehicle manufacturers.
They are intended as a comparison
between makes and models of vehicles.
They are not intended to represent the real
world fuel consumption you may get from
your vehicle. Real world fuel consumption
is governed by many factors including;
driving style, high speed driving, stop/start
driving, air conditioning usage, the
accessories fitted and towing etc.

WARNING
When you are going downhill, your
speed may increase above the set
speed. The system will not apply the
brakes but a warning will be given. The system allows you to set a speed, to
which the vehicle then becomes limited.
The set speed will become the effective
maximum speed of the vehicle, but with
the option to temporarily exceed this limit
if required.
USING THE SPEED LIMITER
Note:
The set speed limit can be
intentionally exceeded for a short period if
required, for example when overtaking.
The system is operated by adjustment
controls mounted on the steering wheel. Set speed increase
A
Speed limiter on/off
B
Set speed decrease
C
Speed limiter cancel/resume
D Switching the system on and off
Press switch B. The information display
will prompt for a speed to be set.
Setting the speed limit
Use the cruise control switches to alter the
maximum speed setting.
Press switch A or switch C to select your
desired speed limit. The speed is displayed
in the information display and stored as
the set speed.
Pull switch D to cancel the limiter and
place it in standby mode. The information
display will confirm deactivation by
showing the set speed crossed out.
Pull switch D again to resume the limiter.
The information display will confirm the
system is active by showing the set speed
again.
Intentionally exceeding the set
speed limit
Depress the accelerator fully to temporarily
deactivate the system. The system will
reactivate once the vehicle speed drops
below the set speed.
System warnings
If the set limit is accidentally exceeded, for
example driving downhill, the information
display will show the set speed flashing
together with an audible warning chime.
If the set limit is intentionally exceeded the
information display will show the set speed
crossed out.
