Important safety notes G
WARNING
Batteries contain toxic and corrosive substan-
ces. If batteries are swallowed, it can result in
severe health problems. There is a risk of fatal
injury.
Keep batteries out of the reach of children. If
a battery is swallowed, seek medical attention
immediately. H
Environmental note Batteries contain dangerous
substances. It is against the
law to dispose of them with
the household rubbish. They
must be collected separately
and recycled to protect the
environment.
Dispose of batteries in an
environmentally friendly
manner. Take discharged
batteries to a qualified spe-
cialist workshop or a special
collection point for used bat-
teries.
The key batteries contain perchlorate mate-
rial, which may require special handling and
regard for the environment. Check with your
local government’s disposal guidelines. Cali-
fornia residents, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/

WARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
R adjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
R fasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirror and fasten your seat belt
before starting the engine. G
WARNING
If the steering wheel is unlocked while the
vehicle is in motion, it could change position
unexpectedly. This could cause you to lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Before starting off, make sure the steering
wheel is locked. Never unlock the steering
wheel while the vehicle is in motion. G
WARNING
Children could injure themselves if they
adjust the steering wheel. There is a risk of
injury. When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

Motion detector
G
WARNING
The motion detector sends the invisible infra-
red radiation emitted by LEDs (light emitting
diodes).
These LEDs are classified as class 1M lasers
and can damage the retina if you:
R look directly into the unfiltered laser beam
of the motion detector for an extended
period
R look directly into the laser beam of the
motion detector using optical instruments,
e.g. eyeglasses or a magnifying glass.
There is a risk of injury.
Never look directly into the motion detector.
The cargo compartment lighting is also
switched on by the motion detector in the
cargo compartment of Cargo Vans equipped
with this feature.
If the motion detector detects a movement in
the cargo compartment when the vehicle is
stationary, the cargo compartment lighting
switches on for approximately two minutes.
The cargo compartment lighting can be
switched on by the motion detector within
four seconds if:
R the rear interior light switch (Y page 99) is
set to automatic control.
R the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake
is applied and the brake pedal is not being
depressed
Or
R the selector lever is in position Pon vehi-
cles with automatic transmission and the
brake pedal is not being depressed and
R the vehicle has not been locked from the
outside using the key
The motion detector switches off automati-
cally if no change is detected in the vehicle
for several hours, e.g. if a door is opened, if
the ignition key is turned, etc. This prevents
the battery from becoming discharged. Changing bulbs
Important safety notes
G
DANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get
an electric shock if you remove the cover of
the Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of the Xenon bulb. Always have work on
the Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot
when operating. If you change a bulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
changing a bulb.
! Make sure the bulbs are always securely
installed.
If your vehicle is equipped with Bi-Xenon
bulbs, you can recognize this by the following:
the cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the engine. For this to be
observed, the low-beam headlamps must be
switched on before starting the engine.
The bulbs and lamps are an essential compo-
nent of vehicle safety. You must therefore
make sure that these function correctly at all
times. Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
R Always switch off the vehicle's lighting sys-
tem before changing a bulb.
This will prevent a short circuit.
R Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs
with your bare hands. Always use a clean,
lint-free cloth or only touch the base of the
bulb when installing.
Even minor contamination can burn into
the glass surface and reduce the service life
of the bulbs. 100

control system in the vehicle. The auxiliary
heating heats the air in the vehicle interior to
the temperature set.
If your vehicle is equipped with a hot-water
auxiliary heater, the auxiliary heating also
keeps the coolant warm. This way, the load
on the engine is minimized and fuel is saved.
The heater booster function (Y page 130) of
the auxiliary heating supports the climate
control system when the engine is running
and the outside temperature is low.
You can use the auxiliary heating at an out-
side temperature of up to 39 ‡ (4 †). At an
outside temperature above 39 ‡ (4 †) the
auxiliary heating system and the heater boos-
ter function switch off automatically. Heating time
The heating time operating the auxiliary heat-
ing when the vehicle is stationary without the
engine running depends on the outside tem-
perature. Outside tempera-
ture Heating time
Above 23 ‡ (
00F85 †) Approx. 20 minutes
23 ‡ (
00F85 †) to 5 ‡
(00F815 †) Approx. 40 minutes
Below 5 ‡ (00F815 †) Approx. 50 minutes
You can then switch on the auxiliary heating
again.
If you do not start the engine for a while, the
total duration of heating is limited to a maxi-
mum of 120 minutes to protect the starter
battery. Switching on the auxiliary heating is
then automatically disabled. You can, for
example, switch on the auxiliary heating with-
out the engine running if the outside temper-
ature is
00F85 ‡ (00F820 †) a maximum of two
times. If you try it again, the indicator lamps
in the 0084button (Y page 124) flash alter-
nately for approximately 2 minutes to signal switch-on interlock. The auxiliary heating can-
not be switched on without starting the
engine.
When the charge status of the starter battery
is sufficient again, the switch-on interlock will
be deactivated. To charge the starter battery,
let the engine run. The engine runtime
required to reach the necessary charge sta-
tus depends on the outside temperature.
Outside tempera-
ture Engine runtime
Above 32 ‡ (0 †) Approx. 10 minutes
32 ‡ (0 †) to 14 ‡
(00F810 †) Approx. 15 minutes
Below 14 ‡ (
00F810 †) Approx. 20 minutes
Before switching on
X Check the fuel level and top up if necessary.
The auxiliary heating is operated directly
using the vehicle's fuel. The tank must be
at least a quarter full to ensure that the
auxiliary heating functions.

two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
i If you switch off the ignition while imme-
diate heating mode (operating duration
10– 120 minutes) is active, immediate
heating mode is also switched off. The aux-
iliary heating operates for another
two minutes and then switches off auto-
matically.
If you have set continuous operation as the
operating duration and you switch off the
ignition, the auxiliary heating switches off
automatically after about 15 minutes. If, in
the remaining time, the ignition is switched
on again, continuous operation of the aux-
iliary heating continues.
Setting the preselection time G
WARNING
The auxiliary heating must not be operated if
there are highly flammable substances
nearby or in enclosed spaces without an
extraction system. Make sure that the auxili-
ary heating is not switched on automatically
by the timer in such places. If this possibility
exists, deactivate the respective programmed
time.
You can set three preselection times using
the timer.
Observe that when setting the preselection
time, this does not correspond to the switch-
on time but to the switch-off or departure
time. The auxiliary heating system starts up
automatically and runs for the operating dura-
tion set prior to departure.
Example: For a planned departure time of
7:00 a.m., you should also set the preselec-
tion time to 7:00 a.m. If the operating dura-
tion is preset to 40 minutes, for example, the
auxiliary heating starts up at 6:20 a.m.
If an identical time (time and day) is set in the
preselection memory, only the last time set is
saved. After a malfunction or if the battery has been
disconnected, you must set the preselection
times again. You can find further information
on malfunctions in the "Problems with the
auxiliary heating" section ( Ypage 132).
