GWARNING
During convenience opening, body parts
could be drawn in or become trapped
between the side window and the door frame.
There is arisk of injury.
Monitor the entire opening procedure when
using convenience opening. When opening,
make sure that nobody touches the side win- dow. Release the %switch immediately if
somebody becomes trapped, to interrupt the
opening procedure.
XPre-entry climate control and conveni-
ence opening with the key: press and hold
the % button on the key.
The side windows open automatically and the
blower of the climate control system is acti-
vated.
XRelease the %button.
iAt high interior temperatures, the blower is
also switched on when adoor is opened. This
means that slightly cooled air enters the vehi-
cle interior after the engine is started, to cool
the vehicle more rapidly.
Switching the residual heat function
on/off
General notes
Only vehicles with automatic climate control
have the residual heat function.
Once the engine is switched off, it is possible to
make use of the residual heat of the engine to
continue heating or ventilating the front com-
partment of the vehicle for approximately
30 minutes. The heating or ventilation time
depends on the set interior temperature.
Switching the function on/off
XTurn the key to position 0in the ignition lock
or remove it.
XPress the Ìbutton.
If the residual heat function is activated, the
indicator lamp in the Ìbutton comes on.
The blower will run at alow speed regardless
of the airflow setting.
If you activate the residual heat function at
high temperatures, only the auxiliary ventila-
tion will be activated. The blower then runs at
medium speed.

Refueling
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. Improper handling of
fuel creates arisk of fire and explosion.
Avoid fire, open flames, smoking and creating
sparks under all circumstances. Switch off the
engine and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating
before refueling.
GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is arisk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come into contact with your skin, eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors. Keep fuel away from children.

observe the following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance with-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay.Don ot induce vomit-
ing.
RImmediately change out of clothing which
has come into contact with fuel.
GWARNING
Electrostatic buildupc an create sparks and
ignite fuel vapors. There is arisk of fire and
explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildupi s
