United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (see Digital Owner's Manual).
The doors can then be opened from the inside
after the vehicle has been locked from the out-
side. The anti-theft alarm system is triggered if
the door is opened from the inside. Switch off
the alarm (Y page 79).
All countries: G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they can:
R open doors and endanger other persons or
road users
R climb out and be injured by the traffic
R operate vehicle equipment and, for exam-
ple, trap themselves.
Children could also set the vehicle in motion, for example by:
R releasing the parking brake
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R starting the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always
keep the key out of reach of children. G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key, the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
! Keep the key away from strong magnetic
fields. Otherwise, the remote control function could be affected.

Operating the auxiliary heating/ventilation
draws on the vehicle battery. After you have
heated or ventilated the vehicle a maximum of two times, drive for a longer distance.
Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly – once a month – for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehicle
interior to the set temperature. This occurs with- out using the heat of the running engine. The
auxiliary heating is operated directly using the
vehicle's fuel. For this reason, the fuel tank level
must be above the reserve range to ensure that the auxiliary heating functions.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
automatically adjusts to changes in tempera-
ture and weather conditions. For this reason,
the auxiliary heating could switch from ventila-
tion mode to heating mode or from heating
mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventilation
is not active if the engine is running.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation
switches off automatically after 50 minutes.
This time limit can be altered. To do this, consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to cool
the vehicle interior to a temperature lower than
the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X Set the desired temperature using the w
rocker switch on the front control unit.
If you do not alter the temperature before
switching on the auxiliary heating or auxiliary
ventilation, the last temperature setting will be
adopted.
Auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation can also be switched on if the manually set climate con-
trol is activated. Optimum comfort is attained
when the system is set to automatic mode. Set
the temperature to 22 †.
You can switch the auxiliary heating or auxiliary
ventilation on or off:
R using the rocker switch on the centre console
(Y page 138)
R using the remote control (Y page 139)The remote control can be used to set up to
three departure times, one of which may be pre- selected.

General notes
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls for
your vehicle. For more information, please con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary heat-
ing so that the auxiliary heating cannot be
switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxiliary
heating is kept out of the reach of children.
The remote control has a range of approximately
300 metres. This range is reduced by:
R sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control and
the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavourable
position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space

3 Starting the vehicle
i If the key does not belong to the vehicle, it
can still be turned in the ignition lock. How-
ever, the ignition will not be switched on. The
engine cannot be started.
Start/Stop button General notes
When you insert the Start/Stop button in the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds of recognition time. You can then
use the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in succession corresponds to the different key
positions in the ignition lock. This is the case
only if you are not depressing the brake pedal. If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle.
This occurs, for example, when the engine is
started.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
KEYLESS-GO (Y page 83)
Do not keep the key:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can impair the key's function.
If you lock the vehicle with the key's remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will no longer be able to switch on the
ignition with the Start/Stop button
R you will no longer be able to start the engine
with the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door (Y page 89), you can continue
to start the engine with the Start/Stop button.
You can switch off the engine while the vehicle is
in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for around three seconds. This func- tion operates independently of the ECO start/
stop automatic engine switch-off function. 144
