You cannot unlock the vehicle centrally from the
inside if the vehicle has been locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO.
You can open a door from inside the vehicle
even if it has been locked. You can open the rear
doors from inside the vehicle unless they are
secured by the child-proof lock (
Ypage 59).
If the vehicle has previously been locked with
the SmartKey from the outside, opening a door
from the inside will trigger the anti-theft alarm
system. Switch off the alarm (
Ypage 67).
If a locked door is opened from the inside, the
previous unlock status of the vehicle will be
taken into consideration if:
Rthe vehicle was locked using the locking but-
ton for the central locking, or
Rif the vehicle was locked automatically
The vehicle will be fully unlocked if it had previ-
ously been fully unlocked. If only the driver's
door had been previously unlocked, only the
door which has been opened from the inside is
unlocked.

Trunk
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the
trunk lid is open when the engine is running,
especially if the vehicle is in motion. There is a
risk of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the trunk lid. Never drive with the trunk lid
open.
GWARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
!The trunk lid swings upwards when opened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the trunk lid.
The opening dimensions of the trunk lid can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(
Ypage 314).
You should preferably place luggage or loads in
the trunk. Observe the loading guidelines
(
Ypage 233).
Do not leave the SmartKey in the trunk. You
could otherwise lock yourself out.
The trunk lid can be:
Ropened and closed manually from outside
Ropened automatically from outside
Ropened automatically from inside
Rreleased with the emergency release from the
inside

Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.

XSwitch on the ignition.
XTurn the combination switch to the corre-

!Vehicles with a rain sensor: if the windshield
becomes dirty in dry weather conditions, the
windshield wipers may be activated inadver-
tently. This could then damage the windshield
wiper blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.
Vehicles with a rain sensor: in the ÄorÅ
position, the appropriate wiping frequency is
automatically set according to the intensity of
the rain. In the Åposition, the rain sensor is
more sensitive than in the Äposition, caus-
ing the windshield wiper to wipe more fre-
quently.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield will
no longer be wiped properly. This could prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions.

Notes on using the air-conditioning
system
Air-conditioning system
Below, you can find a number of notes and rec-
ommendations to help you use the air-condi-
tioning system optimally.
RSwitch on the air-conditioning system by turn- ing control knob Aclockwise to the desired
position (except position 0).
RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
RRecommendation for avoiding misted
windows at low exterior temperatures or
in rain: switch on the ¿cooling with dehu-
midification function (
Ypage 114).
Set air distribution to ¯and if possible
switch off PandO (
Ypage 115).
Deactivate air-recirculation mode e
(
Ypage 118).
Set airflow control Ato a setting between 3
and 6(
Ypage 116).
RRecommendation for rapid cooling or
heating of the vehicle interior: briefly set
airflow control Ato a setting between 3and
6 (
Ypage 116).
RRecommendation for a constant vehicle
interior temperature: set airflow controlA
to a setting between 1and 3(
Ypage 116).
RRecommendation for air distribution in
winter: select the Oand¯ settings
(
Ypage 115).
Recommendation for air distribution in
summer: select the PorP and¯
settings (
Ypage 115).
ROnly use the "Windshield defrosting" function
briefly until the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tu
nnel. The windows could otherwise fog up,
since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.
RIf you change the settings of the climate con-
trol system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the multimedia
system display; see separate operating
instructions. You will see the current settings
of the various climate control functions.

Depending on the configuration, climate set-
tings may also be influenced in the drive pro-
gram I.
If you have selected drive program Cor S, cli-
mate settings are not influenced.

During automatic engine switch-off, the climate
control system only operates at a reduced capa-
city. If you require the full climate control output,

General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumid-
ification" function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will also
not be dehumidified. The windows can fog up
more quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the
"Cooling with air-dehumidification" function
briefly.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" function is only available when the engine is running. The
air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehumidified
according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
