ould cause serious injuries.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended, or al-
low chi
ldren to play inside or around the vehi-
cle without supervision, especially if the rear
lid is open. Children could enter the luggage compartment, close the rear lid and become
trap
ped. A loc

ked vehicle can be subjected to
extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, resulting in seri-
ous injuries/illness or even death. WARNING
It is possible that the rear lid does not open
c omp l

etely or, if it is open, closes alone if a
large amount of snow has built up on it or if a
luggage rack is fitted. In this case, the rear lid
must be supported. CAUTION
● When us in

g a trailer, ensure that there is
sufficient space to open and close the rear
lid.
● Before opening the rear lid, any kind of
equipment carrier shou
ld be removed, for ex-
ample a bicycle carrier. CAUTION
In case of repeated short-term use, the sys-
tem i s

turned off to avoid overheating.
● When it has cooled, it may be used once
again. Durin
g this time, the rear lid may be
manually opened or closed applying a little
more effort.
● If the vehicle battery is disconnected or the
fuse b
lows when the rear lid is open, the rear
lid system must be re-initialised. To do this,
close the rear lid. 126

The interior cooling system only works when
the engine i
s

running and fan is switched on.
The air conditioner operates most effectively
with the windows and the electric sliding
panoramic roof closed. However, if the vehi-
cle has heated up after standing in the sun
for some time, the air inside can be cooled
more quickly by opening the windows and
the sliding electric panoramic sunroof briefly.
Setting for conditions of optimal visibility
When the air conditioning is switched on, the
temperature and the air humidity in the vehi-
cle interior drop. In this way, when the out-
side air humidity is high, the windows do not
mist over and comfort for the vehicle occu-
pants is improved.

Operation
An optimum range is obtained by keeping
the r emot

ontrol vertical, with the aerial
››› Fig. 198 A pointing upwards. When doing
so , do not
c

over the aerial with your fingers
or with the palm of your hand.
There must be a minimum distance of 2 me-
tres between the remote control and the vehi-
cle. CAUTION
● The ra dio fr

equency remote control con-
tains electronic components. Therefore, avoid
getting it wet and being knocked and protect
it from direct sunlight.
● Use of inappropriate batteries may damage
the remote c
ontrol. For this reason, always re-
place the used battery with another of the
same voltage, size and specifications. For the sake of the environment
● Ple a

se dispose of old batteries so that they
do not harm the environment.

Operation
● Mode 2: r ev
er
se parking parallel to the
curb.
The mode can be changed by pressing the
button on the radio or navigation system
screen. Only the mode to which the points
can be changed will be displayed. WARNING
Use of the camera to calculate the distance
from o b

stacles (people, vehicles, etc.) is inac-
curate and may cause accidents and severe
injuries.
● The camera lens expands and distorts the
field of
vision and displays the objects on the
screen in a different, vague manner.
● Some objects may not be displayed or may
not be v
ery clear (e.g. very thin posts or fen-
ces), due to the resolution of the monitor or if
the light is dim.
● The camera has blind spots in which obsta-
cle
s and people are not detected.
● Keep the camera lens clean and clear of
snow and ic
e. Do not cover it. WARNING
The intelligent technology in the rear assist
sys t

em cannot change the limits imposed by
the laws of physics and by the system itself.
Careless or uncontrolled use of the rear assist
system may result in severe injuries and acci-
dents. The system is not a replacement for
driver awareness. ●
Adjus t

your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions.
● Always keep a close eye on the area around
the vehic
le and always look towards where
you are parking. The display shows the path
of the rear end of the vehicle using the cur-
rent steering angle. The front of the vehicle
turns more in comparison with the rear.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic when
looking at
the screen.
● Always observe the area around the vehi-
cle, a
s the cameras do not always detect chil-
dren, animals or objects.
● The system might not show all areas clear-
ly.
● Only

use the rear assist system when the
boot hat
ch is completely closed. CAUTION
● The camer a on

ly displays 2D images on the
screen. Due to the lack of depth, it might be
difficult or impossible to recognise protrud-
ing objects or cracks in the road.
● The cameras may not always be able to de-
tect o
bjects such as thin rails, fences, posts
and trees, etc. This could result in damage to
your car. Instructions for use

s. Dynamic chassis control must
never lead to any kinds of risk.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t

fic conditions. Note
If the dynamic chassis control does not oper-
ate a s

described in this chapter, go to an au-
thorised workshop and request it be checked. Note
In case of a fault in the dynamic chassis con-
tro l, the b

fault could the affect driving comfort. Have
the system checked by a specialised work-
shop. Tyre monitoring systems
Intr oduction The tyre monitor indicator monitors the tyre
pr
e
s

sure of each wheel during driving using
the ABS sensors. The ABS sensors monitor
the tyre tread perimeter and vibrations of
each tyre. The tyre monitor indicator warns
the driver if it detects a considerable drop in
tyre pressure of one or several tyres while driving. Loss of tyre pressure will be indica-
ted by

the indicator  as well as an audible
warning and sometimes a text message on
the dash panel display. When you open the
driver door, you will find a label indicating
the tyre pressure recommended by the manu-
facturer for the maximum vehicle load for
each tyre approved for the vehicle in ques-
tion. By pressing the adjustment button on
the tyre monitoring indicator, you may
change the reference pressure for the tyres
so that the tyre pressure coincides with ac-
tual pressure ››› page 236.
Suitable use of the adjustment button
››› page 236. WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and tyres
ma y

lead to sudden tyre pressure losses, to
tread separation or even to a blow-out.
● Check tyre pressures regularly and ensure
they are m
aintained at the pressures indica-
ted. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyres
could overheat, resulting in tread detachment
or even burst tyres.
● Tyre pressure should be that indicated on
the label when the ty
res are cold at all times
››› page 292.
● Regularly check the cold inflation pressure
of the tyr
es. If necessary, change the tyre
pressure of the vehicle tyres while they are
cold. 234
