WARNING
Opening and closing doors carelessly can
cau se seriou
s injury.
● If the vehicle is locked from outside, the
doors and w
indows cannot be opened from
the inside.
● Never leave children or disabled people
alone in the car
. They could be trapped in the
car in an emergency and will not be able to
get themselves to safety.
● Depending on the time of the year, temper-
ature
s inside a locked and closed vehicle can
be extremely high or extremely low resulting
in serious injuries and illness or even death,
particularly for young children. WARNING
Getting in the way of the doors and the pan-
oramic s

liding sunroof is dangerous and can
lead to serious injury.
● Open and close the doors and the panor-
amic slidin
g sunroof only when nobody is in
the way. CAUTION
When opening and closing in an emergency,
car ef

ully disassemble components and then
reassemble them carefully to avoid damage
to the vehicle. Fuses and bulbs

 page 43
Due to the constant updating of vehicles,
fuse assignments based on equipment and
the use of the same fuse for various electrical
components, it is not possible to provide an
up-to-date summary of the fuse positions for
the electrical components at the time of
printing this manual. For detailed information
about the fuse positions, please consult a
technical service.
In general, a fuse can be assigned to various
electrical components. Likewise, an electrical
component can be protected by several
fuses.
Only replace fuses when the cause of the
problem has been solved. If a newly inserted
fuse blows after a short time, you must have
the electrical system checked by a special-
ised workshop as soon as possible. WARNING
The high voltages in the electrical system can
give seriou s

electrical shocks, causing burns
and even death! ●
Never t ouc

h the electrical wiring of the igni-
tion system.
● Take care not to cause short circuits in the
electrica
l system. WARNING
Using unsuitable fuses, repairing fuses or
bridgin g a curr

ent circuit without fuses can
cause a fire and serious injury.
● Never use a fuse with a higher value. Only
repl
ace fuses with a fuse of the same amper-
age (same colour and markings) and size.
● Never repair a fuse.
● Never replace a fuse by a metal strip, staple
or simil
ar. CAUTION
● To pr ev

ent damage to the vehicle's electric
system, before replacing a fuse always turn
off the ignition, the lights and all electrical
elements and remove the key from the igni-
tion.
● If you replace a fuse with higher-rating
fuse,
you could cause damage to another part
of the electrical system.
● Protect the fuse boxes when open to pre-
vent the entr
y of dust or humidity as they can
damage the electrical system.
● Always carefully remove the fuse box cov-
ers and r
efit them correctly to avoid problems
with your vehicle. » 91

WARNING
Even though outside temperatures are above
freez in
g, some roads and bridges may be icy.
● At outside temperatures above +4°C
(+39°F), even when the “ice c
rystal” symbol
is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Differ ent

versions of the instrument panel
are available and therefore the versions and
instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps.
● When several warnings are active at the
same time, the symbol

mounted at the factory. The option compass
disappears.
The compass in vehicles in which the naviga-
tion system was not mounted at the factory,
is permanently and automatically calibrated.
If electronic or metal accessories (mobile
phone, television) are subsequently mounted
in the vehicle, the compass should be recali-
brated manually.
Adjusting the magnetic zone
● Switch the ignition on.
● Select the Settings menu fol
lowed by the
option Compass and Zone.
● Select the magnetic zone corresponding to
the position of
the vehicle ››› Fig. 118. ●
Adjust
and confirm the magnetic zone
(1-15 ).
Calibrating compass
To calibrate the compass you must be in one
of the valid magnetic zones with sufficient
space to be able to trace a circumference
with the vehicle.
● Switch the ignition on.
● Select the Settings menu fol
lowed by the
option Compass and Calibrate .
● Confirm the message Describe a com-
plete circumference to calibrate
the compass with OK and then trace a

switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.
Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument panel display. These may be purely informa-

action ››› page 102, Instruments.
Depending upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some-

When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard. WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the v ehic

le may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or text

ages.
● Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
● Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
● A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
● Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and al
low it to cool.
● In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazar
dous area and could cause severe inju-
