MFD from de-
parture
Display and storage of the values for
the journey and the consumption
from when the ignition is switched
on to when it is switched off.
If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is
switched off, the new data is added
to the data already stored in the
memory. The memory will automati-
cally be deleted if the journey is in-
terrupted for more than 2 hours.
MFD from re- fuellingDisplay and storage of the values for
the journey and the consumption.
By refuelling, the memory will be
erased automatically.
MenuFunction
MFD totalcalculation
The memory records the values for a
specific number of partial trips, up
to a total of 19 hours and 59 mi-
nutes or 99 hours and 59 minutes,
or 1999.9 km or 9999 km, depend-
ing on the model of instrument pan-
el. On reaching either of these lim-

on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Diff erent

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.
● Depending on the equipment, some set-

ether w
ith the gear-change indicator, the
rev counter offers you the possibility of using
the engine of your vehicle at a suitable
speed. The start of the red zone on the dial indicates
the maximum en

gine speed which may be
used briefly when the engine is warm and af-
ter it has been run in properly. Before reach-
ing this range, you should change to a higher
gear for vehicles with a manual gearbox or for
automatic gearboxes put the selector lever in
“D” or take your foot off the accelerator ped-
al.
We recommend that you avoid high revs and
that you follow the recommendations on the
gear-change indicator. Consult the additional
information in ›››

unlocking of the vehicle.
If the vehicle is unlocked and none of the
doors (including the boot) are opened within
30 seconds, it re-locks automatically.
Automatic speed-dependent locking
and unloc
king system*This is a safety system which prevents access
t
o the
v

ehicle from the outside when it is run-
ning (e.g. when stopped at a traffic light). Locking
The doors w

ill lock automatically if the speed
of 15 km/h (9 mph) is exceeded. The rear lid
will lock automatically if the speed of 6 km/h
(4 mph) is exceeded.
If the vehicle is stopped and any of its doors
open, when starting again and exceeding the
mentioned speed, all doors will lock again.
Unlocking
On withdrawing the ignition key, the vehicle
will returns to its status prior to self-locking.
Each door can be unlocked and opened inde-
pendently from the inside (for example, when
a passenger gets out). To do it, simply oper-
ate the lever inside the door. WARNING
The door handles must not be operated when
the v ehic

le is running: the door would open. Note
If the airbags are triggered during an acci-
dent, the v ehic

le is unlocked, except for the
luggage compartment. It is possible to lock
the vehicle from inside with the central lock-
ing, after turning the ignition off and back on
again. Central lock button*

The central lock button allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle from the inside.
The central lock button also works with the
ignition switched off, except when the “safe”
system is activated.
Please note the following if you lock your ve-
hicle with the central lock button:
● Locking the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
ces
s from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This
avoids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle.

itching the engine off, the radiator
fan may run on for up to 10 minutes. It is also
possible that the fan turns itself on once
more if the coolant temperature increases
due to the heat accumulated in the engine
compartment or due to its prolonged expo-
sure to solar radiation. WARNING
● Never sw it

ch the engine off until the vehi-
cle is completely stationary.
● The brake servo works only when the en-
gine is ru
nning. With the engine switched off,
more strength is needed to brake. As normal brake operation cannot be performed, risk of
acc
ident

s and serious injury may exist.
● The steering lock can be immediately
block
ed once the key is removed from the ig-
nition. The vehicle cannot be steered. Risk of
accident.
● Power-assisted steering does not work
when the engine is
off, and more strength is
needed to turn the wheel.
● If the key is removed from the ignition lock
the steerin
g lock could be engaged and vehi-
cle steering would not work. CAUTION
● When the engine h a

s been running under a
heavy load for a long period, heat can accu-
mulate in the engine compartment and cause
engine damage. For this reason, idle the en-
gine for approximately 2 minutes before
switching it off.
● If the vehicle is stopped and the Start-Stop
syst
em* switches off the engine, the ignition
remains switched on. Make sure that the igni-
tion is switched off before leaving the vehi-
cle, otherwise the battery could discharge. Starter button*

Any accidental movement of the vehicle could
re s

ult in serious injury.
● When switching on the ignition, do not
pre
ss the brake or clutch pedal, otherwise
the engine could start immediately. WARNING
If vehicle keys are used negligently or with-
out due c ar

e, this may cause accidents and
serious injury.
● Never leave any key inside the vehicle
when exitin
g. Otherwise, a child or unauthor-
ised person could lock the vehicle, start the
engine or connect the ignition and, in this
way, operate electronic equipment (e.g. the
windows). Note
● Bef or

approx. 1 minute before trying again. If nec-
essary, perform an emergency start
››› page 172.
5.Disconnect the hand brake when you are
about to start driving ››› page 174. WARNING
Never leave the vehicle with the engine run-
ning, e s

pecially if a gear or gear range is en-
gaged. The vehicle could then suddenly move
or something strange could happen that
would cause damage, fire or serious injury. WARNING
Cold start sprays could explode or cause a
sud den inc

rease in the engine speed.
● Never use sprays to cold start the engine. CAUTION
● The st ar

ter motor or the engine may be
damaged if you try to start the engine while driving or if you restart it immediately after
swit
c

hing it off.
● If the engine is cold, avoid high engine
speeds, p
ushing the engine too hard and rap-
id acceleration.
● Do not start the engine by pushing the ve-
hicle or t
owing it. Unburnt fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and damage it. Note
● Do not wait

until the engine warms up with
the vehicle stationary; if you have good visi-
bility through the windows, start driving im-
mediately. This helps the engine reach oper-
ating temperature faster and reduces emis-
sions.
● Electrical components with a high power
cons
umption are switched off temporarily
when the engine starts.
● When starting with a cold engine, noise
level
s may briefly increase. This is quite nor-
mal, and no cause for concern.
● When the outside temperature is below
+5°C (+41°F), if the en
gine is diesel, some
smoke may appear under the vehicle when
the fuel-operated auxiliary heater is on. 173

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

partment for a few more minutes, even with
the ignition off. The radiator fan is automati-
cally switched off. “My Beat” Function

that lapses between the moment the user
starts the engine with the START ENGINE STOP button and the lighting changes from flash-

size characteristics. Upon switching the igni-
tion off with the START ENGINE STOP button, it

In vehicles with the Start-Stop system , the
“My Beat” function also offers additional in-
formation:

is off, the Start-Stop system is active.
● When the engine cannot be stated again

art-Stop system, ››› page 196, and
needs to be started manually, the START ENGINE STOP button flashes to indicate
