Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical tipsTe c h n i c a l D a t a Replacing the remote control battery
When the light Ÿpage 188, fig. 132 on the remote control does not
come on when the button is pressed, the remote control battery should soon
be replaced.
The battery is located beneath a cover on the back of the remote control. Turn
the slot to the left using a flat, blunt object (e.g. a coin). When changing the
battery, use another battery of the same model and observe the polarity when
fitting it Ÿ.
Range
The receiver is in the interior of the vehicle. The remote control, when fitted
with new batteries, has a range of several hundred metres. Obstacles
between the remote control and the vehicle, bad weather conditions and
discharged batteries can considerably reduce the range of the remote control.
An optimum range is obtained by keeping the remote control vertical, with
the aerial Ÿpage 188, fig. 132 pointing upwards. When doing so, do not
cover the aerial with your fingers or with the palm of your hand.
There must be a minimum distance of two metres between the remote control
and the vehicle.
Caution
xThe radiofrequency remote control contains electronic components.
Therefore, avoid getting the remote control wet and from being knocked and
protect it from direct sunlight.
xUse of inappropriate batteries may damage the remote control. For this
reason, always replace the dead battery with another of the same voltage,
size and specifications.
For the sake of the environment
Please dispose of old batteries so that they do not harm the environment.
For the sake of the environment
The remote control battery may contain perchlorate. Observe the legal
requirements for their disposal.
Programming the auxiliary heater
The heater or ventilation inside the vehicle can be programmed for a certain
period.
Before programming, check that the day is correctly set in the Auxiliary
heater - day of the week menu Ÿ.
Enabling the Auxiliary heater menu on the instrument panel
xFrom the main menu, select the Auxiliary heater submenu and press the
button on the windscreen wiper lever.
xALTERNATIVELY: press the or arrow buttons on the multi-function
steering wheel until the Auxiliary heater menu is displayed.
a)Within its range, the remote control might not receive the signal sent by the vehicle
receiver. In this case, the remote control will send an error message despite the aux-
iliary heater being on or off. Come closer to the vehicle and press the corresponding
button on the remote control once again.

Information on the steering
Steering column electronic lock
Vehicles with KESSY: The steering column locks when the driver's door is
opened and the ignition is switched off. Therefore, the vehicle should be at a
standstill and, where applicable, the selector lever in position P.
If the driver's door is opened before the ignition is switched off, the steering
column electronic lock is activated via the ignition key or the sensor built into
the door handle.
Mechanical steering lock
To prevent theft, we recommend you lock the steering before leaving the
vehicle.
Electromechanical power steering
With the power steering system, the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to the vehicle speed, the steering torque and the wheel
turning angle. The power steering only works when the engine is running.
You should remember that you will need considerably more power than
normal to steer the vehicle if the power steering is not working correctly or not
at all.
Counter steering assistance system
The counter steering assistance system helps the driver in critical situations.
Additional steering power helps the driver when counter steering.

xThe park assist system is only responsible for moving the steering wheel
during the manoeuvre. The driver applies the accelerator, the clutch, the
gears and the brake.
xFollow the instructions given by the park assist system until the
manoeuvre is completed.
xThe park assist system steers the vehicle forwards and backwards until it
is in a straight position in the parking space.
xThe manoeuvre is complete when the corresponding indication is given
on the instrument panel display.
Stopping the parking manoeuvre
The park assist system stops the manoeuvre in the event of one of the
following:
xPress button .
xDriving faster than 7 km/h.
xThe driver moves the steering wheel.
xThe parking manoeuvre has not been completed after six minutes since
the park assist system was activated.
xA sliding door is opened. To restart the manoeuvre, close the sliding door
and press the button again.
xThere is a system malfunction (system temporarily unavailable).
xThe TCS system is switched off or the TCS or ESP is working.
WARNING
The steering wheel turns quickly by itself when parking using the park
assist system. Placing your hand between the steering wheel spokes could
lead to injuries.
Note
The park assist system has its limitations. For example, it is not possible to
park on tight bends using the park assist system.
Note
Even if the park assist system recognises that there is not enough space for
parking the vehicle, the display screen on the instrument panel will still
display this place. In this case, the parking manoeuvre should not be
requested.
Note
Changing gears between forward and reverse gears before indicated (that is,
before the signal from the parking sensor system) the parking results may not
be ideal.
Note
For parallel parking (parallel to the road), a sound will tell the driver when
they must change from forward gears to reverse; the signal from the parking
sensor system does not indicate changes of direction.

relative distance to be covered.
Note
When the Park Assist system is turning the steering wheel of the stopped
vehicle the symbol K is also displayed. Press on the brake pedal so that the
steering can turn with the vehicle at a standstill and thus reduce the number
of manoeuvres.
Note
A suitable parking space length is at least 1.1 m greater than the length of the
vehicle.
Note
If the results of the park assist system are not as good after changing the
wheels, the system must memorise the perimeter of the new wheels. This
process is performed automatically while the vehicle is in motion. To help this
process, turn slowly (at less than 20 km/h), e.g. in an empty car park.

xScrew in the tow ring into its position anticlockwise as far as it will go
Ÿ. Use a suitable tool to firmly tighten the tow ring in its location.
xAfter towing, remove the tow ring by turning it clockwise and put the cover
back in place.
Caution
xThe tow ring must always be completely and firmly tightened. Otherwise,
it could be released while towing and tow-starting.
xVehicles with a factory fitted towing device, can only be used for towing
with a tow-bar, specially designed to fit on a tow hitch ball. Otherwise, the tow
hitch ball and the vehicle may be damaged. Otherwise, a tow rope should be
used.
Towing advice
Towing requires some experience, especially when using a tow-rope. Both
drivers should be familiar with the technique required for towing. For this
reason, inexperienced drivers should abstain.
While driving, avoid excessive traction forces and jerking. When towing on an
unpaved road, there is always a risk of overloading and damaging the
anchorage points.
If the vehicle is towed, with the hazard warning lights on and the ignition
switched on, the turn signal may be used to indicate changes of direction.
Simply operate the turn indicator lever as usual. Meanwhile, the hazard
warning lights will go off. When the turn signal lever is returned to the rest
position, the hazard warning lights will be turned on automatically.
Notes for the driver of the towed vehicle
xLeave the ignition on to avoid locking the steering wheel, to release the
electronic parking brake and to activate the turn signal indicators, the horn
as well as the window wipers and window washers.
xAs the power assisted steering does not work if the engine is not running,
you will need more strength to steer than normally.
xThe brake must be depressed must harder as the brake servo does not
operate. Avoid hitting the towing vehicle.
xNote the instructions and information contained in the instruction manual
for the vehicle to be towed.
Notes for the driver of the towing vehicle
xAccelerate gently and carefully. Avoid sudden manoeuvres.
xBrake well in advance than usual and brake gently.
xNote the instructions and information contained in the instruction manual
for the vehicle to be towed.
