Tyre pressure monitoring*Introduction
The tyre pressure monitoring system constantly checks the
pressure of the tyres.The system warns the driver in the event of a loss of pressure by means of
symbols and messages in the instrument panel display. The system works
with the help of the ABS sensors in the wheels.
Please bear in mind that the tyre inflation pressure is also influenced by the
temperature of the tyre. Tyre pressure increases about 0.1 bar for each 10°C
in tyre temperature increase. The tyre heats up while the vehicle is being
driven and the tyre pressure will rise accordingly. Therefore, you should only
adjust the tyre pressures when they are
cold (i.e. approximately at ambient
temperature).
To ensure that the tyre pressure monitoring system works reliably, you should
check and, if necessary, adjust the tyre pressures at regular intervals and
store the correct pressures (reference values) in the system.
A tyre pr essure i nfor ma ti on lab e l is a tta che d to t he insi de o f the fu el ta nk f lap.
WARNING
•Never adjust tyre pressure when the tyres are hot. This may damage or
even burst the tyres. Risk of accident!•An insufficiently inflated tyre flexes a lot more at high speeds and
causes significant heating of the tyre. Under these conditions, the tyre
bead may be released or the tyre may burst. Risk of accident!For the sake of the environment
Under-inflated tyres lead to increased fuel consumption and tyre wear.
Note
•Responsibility for ensuring that the tyres are correctly inflated remains
with the driver; the system can only provide assistance.•Pressure can only be adjusted when the tyres are at ambient
temperature.

Do not leave anyone (especially children) inside the car if it is locked from
the outside and the anti-theft security system is enabled, as the doors and
windows cannot then be opened from the inside. Locked doors could delay
assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Note
•Should the central locking system fail to work, you can still lock and
unlock the driver's door and the tailgate using the key. For manual release of
the tank flap ⇒page 223. Locking the doors manually if central locking fails
to work ⇒page 102.•The anti-theft mechanism and the anti-theft alarm* cannot be enabled if

assistance in an emergency, potentially putting lives at risk.
Caution
If the driver's door is locked using the key while open, the car will be automat-
ically immobilised and the alarm triggered.
Note
•Please note that when the vehicle is locked without enabling the anti-
theft mechanism, the anti-theft alarm* remains operative. You should there-
fore switch off the interior monitor* before locking the vehicle, as otherwise
the alarm* could be triggered unintentionally.
•The driver's door cannot be locked using the central locking system when
it is still open. The door must be locked separately after it has been closed.

Automatic headlight switch* (sensor-controlled)
If you set the light switch to “AUTO”, the headlights will switch
on and switch off automatically according to the ambient light
level.Turning on dipped-beam headlights
– Turn the light switch ⇒fig. 86 to the AUTO position.
Turning off dipped-beam headlights
– Turn the light switch to position O.The symbol on the switch lights up when the switch is in the AUTO position.
The dipped beams, side lights, rear lights and number plate lights come on
together when the headlights are switched on automatically.
When you are using the automatic headlights switch, you can also operate
the main beam headlights, however, please note the following: If you enable the main beam headlights while using the automatic headlights function
during the day
(e.g. when driving through a tunnel), but do not disable them
again, only the dipped beam headlights will come on the next time the lights
are automatically switched on. To be able to use the main beam headlights
again, you must first pull the main beam lever back to the "off" position and
then push it forward again to "on".
The side lights, headlights, fog lights and rear fog light can still be switched
on manually in the normal way by using the lights switch ⇒page 116.
The mirror inside the vehicle is fitted with sensors that measure the ambient
light. The dipped-beam headlights will be switched on automatically if the
available light drops below the factory preset value (for instance when driving
through a tunnel, etc.). The headlights switch off again automatically when
the light level increases ⇒ .
WARNING
•The automatic dipped-beam headlights are only intended to assist the
driver. Automatic dipped-beam headlights do not relieve the driver of his
or her responsibility to control them an d turn off or turn on the lights manu-
ally according to weather or lighting conditions. The light sensors are, for
example, unable to detect rain and fog - you should therefore always switch
on the dipped-beam headlights
manually in these conditions and when
driving after dark.
•Observe all relevant legal requirements when using the signalling and
lighting systems described here.Note
•If automatic headlight switching is activated, when the ignition is turned
off the dipped-beam headlights are turned off, and when the key is removed
from the ignition the side lights are turned off.•If you have to attach any type of sticker on the windscreen, do not do so
in front of the sensors. Doing so could prevent the automatic dipped-beam

Coming home
When the system is enabled and it is dark, the corresponding exterior lights
switch on as soon as the driver's door is opened.
The exterior lights will stay on for up to a maximum of 2 minutes as long as
one of the doors or the tailgate is open.
The exterior lights stay on for about 30 seconds to light up the area in front of
the car after all the doors and the tailgate have been closed.
This time interval is factory-set, but you can have it changed by a specialist
garage to suit your own requirements (max. setting is 60 seconds).
Leaving home
The exterior lights are switched on when the vehicle is unlocked with the
button on the remote control key.
The exterior lights go out when the driver's door is opened or after 60
seconds when the vehicle locks itself again automatically ⇒page 106.WARNING
Before leaving the vehicle, remove the key from the ignition, as the lights
will not go out if the coming home is enabled. This will lead to battery
discharge and vehicle breakdown.
