When the hazard warning lamps are switched on, all four signal
lights flash simultaneously. The warning lamps for the indicators
and a warning lamp in the switch will also flash.
Note legal requirements when employing such safety measures.
K
Parking distance control (PDC)*6
This system helps prevent small bumps which may occur while
parking, especially in city traffic when parking between other cars.
If the appropriate switch (PDC) in the centre console is pressed, the
sensors in the vehicle’s bumper warn the driver of the proximity of
objects with an intermittent beep and a warning lamp. This
warning occurs when the distance between vehicle and obstacle is
40cm. The beep speeds up until it becomes continuous, when the
distance is approximately 20cm.

When it is freezing, check that the wiper blades are not frozen to the glass
before switching the wipers on for the first time.
If the wiper blades drag, it may be caused by various things:
• If the vehicle has been washed in an automatic car wash,
residual wax may be left on the windscreen.
Filling the windscreen washer container with a window cleaner
containing a wax remover can cure the problem.
• Damaged wiper blades can lead to dragging. In this case the
blades should be renewed.
• The blades are set at an incorrect angle.
Have the angle checked and, if necessary, adjusted by a Technical
Service Centre.

Driver’s seat
We recommend that you position the driver’s seat as follows:
– Set the driver’s seat forwards/backwards in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with a slightly angled leg.
– Set the backrest in such a way that it is fully against your back
and that you can reach the upper point of the steering wheel with
your arms at a slight angle.
Front passenger seat
We recommend that you position the front passenger seat as
follows:
– Backrest in an upright position.
– Place the feet in the footwell in a comfortable position.
– At the same time push the seat back as far as possible.
