amount and distribution of the air flow
automatically and adjusts them according
to the driving and weather conditions.

AUTObutton once switches
on the auto mode.
The system in your vehicle is dual-zone
automatic climate control. When the
system is in mono mode, all the
temperature zones are linked to the

you to set different temperatures for the
driver's and front passenger's side. Note:Avoid adjusting the settings when
the vehicle interior is extremely hot or cold. The automatic climate controladjusts to the current circumstancesautomatically. For the system to functionproperly, the side and centre vents shouldbe fully open.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
The parking aid does not relieve you
of your responsibility to drive with
due care and attention.
CAUTIONS
Vehicles fitted with a trailer tow
module not approved by us may not
correctly detect obstacles.
The sensors may not detect objects
in heavy rain or other conditions that
cause disruptive reflections.
The sensors may not detect objects
with surfaces that absorb ultrasonic
waves.
The parking aid does not detect
obstacles moving away from the
vehicle. They will only be detected
shortly after they start to move towards
the vehicle again. Take particular care when reversing
with a tow ball arm or rear fitted
accessories e.g. a bicycle carrier, as
the rear parking aid will only indicate the
distance from the bumper to the obstacle. If you use a high pressure spray to
wash your vehicle, only spray the
sensors briefly from a distance not
less than 20 centimetres (8 inches). Note:On vehicles fitted with a tow ball
arm, the parking aid is deactivated automatically when any trailer lamps (orlighting boards) are connected to the13-pin socket via a trailer tow module wehave approved.
Note:Keep the sensors free from dirt,
ice and snow. Do not clean with sharp objects.
Note:The parking aid may emit false
tones if it detects a signal using the same frequency as the sensors or if the vehicleis fully laden.
Note:The outer sensors may detect the
side walls of a garage. If the distance between the outer sensor and the sidewall remains constant for three seconds,the tone will switch off. As you continue,the inner sensors will detect rearwardobjects.
USING THE PARKING AID
Switching the parking aid on
and off
Note:
The parking aid switches off
automatically when you start the engine or when you exceed 16 km/h (10 mph).
Note:The front and rear sensors are
always activated or deactivated together.
The parking aid is per default off. To
switch the parking aid on, press the switch
in the instrument panel or select reverse
gear.
The light in the switch illuminates when
the parking aid is activated.
