side it will be difficult to provide assistance if
required.
● Having the doors locked prevents intruders
from gettin

● Alw a

ys close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the
rever
se or rear fog lights are lit. This may
damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down
with y
our hand on the rear window. The glass
could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it.
If not, it m
ay open unexpectedly while driv-
ing.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehic
le. A locked vehicle can be subjected
to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle. ●
Clo s

ing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key in
side. The vehicle cannot be opened
if the key is left inside. Electric windows

Operation
Make sure that no one is in the path of a win-
dow
.
● If
the ignition is switched on, the electric
equipment cou
ld be activated with risk of in-
jury, for example, in the electric windows.
● The doors can be locked using the remote
contro
l key. This could become an obstacle
for assistance in an emergency situation.
● Therefore always take the key with you
when you l
eave the vehicle.
● The electric windows will work until the ig-
nition has
been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened.
● If necessary, use the safety switch to disa-
ble the r
ear electric windows. Make sure that
they have been disabled. Note
If the window is not able to close because it
is s

tiff or because of an obstruction, the win-
dow will automatically open again
››› page 136. If this happens, check why the
window could not be closed before attempt-
ing to close it again. Roll-back function
The roll-back function reduces the risk of in-
jur
y
when the el

ectric windows close. ●
If a windo
w is obstructed when closing au-
tomatically, the window stops at this point
and lowers immediately ››› .
● Next, check why the window does not close
bef or
e att

empting it again.
● If you try within the following 10 seconds
and the window c
loses again with difficulty
or there is an obstruction, the automatic clos-
ing will stop working for 10 seconds.
● If the window is still obstructed, the win-
dow wi
ll stop at this point.
● If there is no obvious reason why the win-
dow cannot
be closed, try to close it again by
pulling the tab within ten seconds. The win-
dow closes with maximum force. The roll-
back function is now deactivated.
If more than 10 seconds pass, the window
will open fully when you operate one of the
buttons. One-touch closing is reactivated. WARNING
● Alw a

ys take the ignition key with you when
leaving the vehicle, even if you only intend to
be gone for a short time. Please ensure that
children are never left alone inside the vehi-
cle.
● The electric windows will work until the ig-
nition has
been switched off and one of the
front doors has been opened.
● Closing the windows without observing and
ensurin
g it is clear could cause serious injury to you and third parties. Make sure that no
one is
in the p

ath of a window.
● Never allow people to remain in the vehicle
when you c
lose the vehicle from the outside.
The windows cannot be opened even in an
emergency.
● The roll-back function does not prevent fin-
gers
or other parts of the body getting
pinched against the window frame. Risk of

It is possible to select interior temperatures
from +16°C (+64°F) to +29°C (+84°F). In this range the temperature is regulated automati-

6.If the vehicle is equipped with a manual
gearbox, put it into 1st or reverse. WARNING
Never switch off the engine while the vehicle
is mo

ving. This could cause loss of control of
the vehicle, accidents and serious injury.
● The airbags and belt tensioners do not
work when the ignition i
s switched off.
● The brake servo does not work with the en-
gine off. Ther
efore, you need to press the
break pedal harder to brake the vehicle.
● Power steering does not work when the en-
gine is not
running. You need more strength
to steer when the engine is switched off. ●
If the ignition i s

switched off, the steering
column could be locked, making it impossible
to control the vehicle. CAUTION
If the engine is made to work hard for a long
time, it ma

y overheat after being switched
off. To prevent damage to the engine before
switching it off, leave it idle for approx. 2 mi-
nutes in neutral. Note
After switching off the engine, the cooling fan
ma y

continue to operate in the engine com-
partment for a few more minutes, even with
the ignition off. The radiator fan is automati-
cally switched off. “My Beat” Function
For vehicles with a convenience key there is
the “M

eat” function. This feature provides
an additional indication of the vehicle igni-
tion system.
When accessing the vehicle, e.g. by opening
the doors with the remote control, the START ENGINE STOP button flashes, calling at-
t ention t
o the r

elevant starter system button.
Upon switching the ignition on/off, the light
of the START ENGINE STOP button flashes. With
the en gine sw
it

ched off, after a few seconds, the
STOP ENGINE
START button stops flashing
and g oe
s
out.
With the engine running, the START ENGINE STOP button light stays on, indi-
c atin
g th

at the engine is running. The time
that lapses between the moment the user
starts the engine with the START ENGINE STOP button and the lighting changes from flash-
in
g t
o fi

xed will depend on specific engine
size characteristics. Upon switching the igni-
tion off with the START ENGINE STOP button, it

ar

ts flashing again.
In vehicles with the Start-Stop system , the
“My Beat” function also offers additional in-
formation:
● When the engine stops during the Stop
phase, the light
of the START ENGINE STOP but-
t on s
t
ays on, since, even though the engine
is off, the Start-Stop system is active.
● When the engine cannot be stated again

insufficient, among others:
● When driving in deep snow or on surfaces
that ar

● To “free” the vehicle if it gets stuck.
Then switc

Depending on finishes and versions, it is
possible either to disconnect only the ASR or
else activate ESC Sport mode.

EDL helps the vehicle to start moving, accel-

tions where this may otherwise be difficult or
even impossible.
It uses the ABS sensors to monitor the speed
of the driven wheels.
At speeds of up to approximately 80 km/h
(50 mph), it is able to balance out differences
in the speed of the driven wheels of approxi-
mately 100 rpm/min caused by a partially

of the gearbox selector lever, the vehicle
speed and the position of the third level of
the ACC must all be taken into account.
● With a manual gearbox, the gearbox selec-
tor lev
er must be in any gear except first, and
speed must be greater than approximately 30

box selector lever must be in position D or S.
● To activate the ACC, press the  button or

Fig. 196. At thi s
point, the image of the
ACC on the instrument panel display will
switch from Inactive (Standby) to Active mode

● If the ESC is controlling.
● If the driver is not wearing his/her seat
belt.
● If sev

● If the vehicle is reversing.
● Driving faster than 210 km/h (150 mph). WARNING
There is a danger of rear collision when the
minimum dis t

ance to the vehicle in front is
exceeded and the speed difference between
both vehicles is so great that a speed reduc-
tion by the ACC will not suffice. In this case
the brake pedal should be applied immedi-
ately. 214
