as far away as practical from the steer-
ing wheel. Always use the seat belts.

turn to the previous position when the igni-
tion is switched to ON.

nience” options of the “Settings” menu in the
lower touch-screen display by performing the
following:

be lost and some of the functions will be
restricted:

OR
2. Open and close the driver's door more than two times with the ignition switch in
the OFF position.
The entry/exit function should now work
properly.
