●
Never clo se the ti
lting sunroof without first
checking that there are no obstructions. Risk
of serious injury to you or others. Make sure
that no one is in the path of the tilting sun-
roof.
● Always take the vehicle key with you when
you leav
e the vehicle.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicl
e, particularly if they have access to
the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could
mean that the engine is started or that elec-
trical equipment is used (e.g. electric tilting
sunroof) with a risk of accident. The doors
can be locked using the remote control key.
This could become an obstacle for assistance
in an emergency situation.
● The tilting sunroof continues to function
until one of
the front doors is opened and the
key removed from the ignition.
● Ensure that no object and/or end is be-
tween the glas
s and the sunroof when the
one-touch opening/closing function is reset. Convenience closing*

The legal requirements regarding the use of
vehicle lights in each country must be ob-
served.
The driver is personally responsible for the
correct use and adjustment of the lights in all
situations. WARNING
Never drive with just the side lights on, there
is a ri sk

of accident. The side lights are not
bright enough to illuminate the road ahead
and to ensure that other road users are able
to see you. Always use your dipped beam
headlights if it is dark or if visibility is poor. Note
● The dipped beam he a

dlights will only work
with the ignition on. The side lights come on
automatically when the ignition is turned off.
● If the lights are left on after the key has
been taken out of
the ignition lock, an audi-
ble warning sounds while the driver door re-
mains open. This is a reminder to switch the
lights off.
● The rear fog light is so bright that it can
dazzle driv
ers behind you. You should use
the rear fog light only when visibility is very
poor. ●
The use of the lightin g de

scribed here is

ments. Automatic lighting*

If automatic headlight control is switched on,
dipped beam headlights are automatically
switched on by a photosensor if you drive in-
to a tunnel, for example. WARNING
● Even if the aut

omatic headlight control is
switched on, the dipped beam headlights will
not be switched on with fog. Therefore, the
dipped beam must be switched on manually. Note
● For those v

ehicles with the automatic head-
light system, when the key is removed from
the ignition, the audible warning will only
sound if the light knob is in position  or . ●
If the da ylight

driving automatic light func-
tion is switched on, the front fog lights or
rear fog light cannot be switched on in addi-
tion.
● The use of the lighting described here is
subject
to the relevant statutory require-
ments.
● Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the sen
sor. This may cause disrup-
tions or faults in the automatic lighting sys-
tem.
● The rain sensor switches on the dipped
beam headlight

have been operating continuously for a few
seconds and it switches the lights off when
the continuous or interval wipe is switched
off for some minutes. Daytime running lights

able on page 2
The daytime running lights are enabled auto-
matically when the ignition is switched on.
Daytime running lights are signalling devices
for improving road safety. The lights are built
into the headlights and come on each time
the ignition is turned on if the light switch is
in position 0 or . It is automatically
switched off when the dipped beam lights

– Place heavy objects as far forward as possi-
ble in the lugg

age compartment
››› Fig. 156.
– Place the heavy objects first.
– Secure heavy objects to the fitted fastening
rings* ››

– Secure loose loads with a luggage net* or
with non-elas

tic straps secured to the fas-
tening* rings ››› page 136. WARNING
● Loose lug g

age and other objects in the lug-
gage compartment could cause serious inju-
ries.
● Always stow objects in the luggage com-
partment and sec
ure them with the fastening
rings*.
● During sudden manoeuvres or accidents,
loose obj
ects can be thrown forward, injuring
vehicle occupants or even third parties. This
increased risk of injury will be further in-
creased if a loose object is struck by an inflat-
ing airbag. If this happens, objects may
shoot outward like a missile. Risk of fatal in-
jury.
● Always keep all objects in the luggage com-
partment and u
se appropriate grips to secure them, particularly in the case of heavy ob-
jects.
●
Nev er e

xceed the allowed axle weights or
allow
ed maximum weight. If said weights are
exceeded, the driving characteristics of the
vehicle may change, leading to accidents, in-
juries and damage to the vehicle.
● Please note that the centre of gravity may
shift when tran
sporting heavy objects; this
may affect vehicle handling and lead to an ac-
cident. Therefore, it is essential to adjust
your speed and driving style accordingly, to
avoid accidents.
● Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cial
ly when the rear lid is open. Children
could climb into the luggage compartment,
closing the door behind them; they will be
trapped and run the risk of death.
● Never allow children to play in or around
the vehicl
e. Close and lock all the doors and
rear lid when you leave the vehicle. Before
you lock the vehicle, make sure that there are
no adults or children in the vehicle.

Introduction The power steering is not hydraulic but elec-
tromech
anic

al. The advantage of this steer-
ing is that it foes not need flexible hydraulic
pipes, hydraulic oil, pump, filter or other
parts. The electromechanical system saves
fuel. Whereas a hydraulic system needs con-
tinuous oil pressure, electromechanical
steering only needs power when it is used.
In vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to vehicle speed, steering
wheel torque and wheel orientation. The
power steering only works when the engine
is running. WARNING
If the power steering does not work, you will
need much more s tr

ength to turn the wheel.
This has a considerable effect on vehicle
safety.
● The power steering only works when the
engine is ru
nning.
● Never allow the vehicle to move when the
engine is sw
itched off.
● Never remove the key from the ignition
while the v
ehicle is moving. The steering lock could be engaged and vehicle steering would
not work.
Note
The ignition of the vehicle being towed must
be sw itched on t

o prevent the steering wheel
from locking and also to allow the use of the
turn signals, horn, windscreen wipers and
washers. Control lamp

mediately and have the steering

If the yellow warning lamp does
not light up again after the en-
gine is restarted and the vehicle
has travelled a short distance,
you do not need to take it to a
specialised workshop. 148

The steering column

If necessary, check the messag-
es displayed on the instrument
panel display.
Do not drive on if
the steering
column remains locked after the
ignition has been switched on.
Seek specialist assistance. WARNING
If the warning lamps and the corresponding
mess ag

es are ignored when they light up, the
vehicle may stall in traffic and cause acci-
dents and severe injuries.
● Never ignore the warning lamps or messag-
es.
● Stop the v

ehicle at the next opportunity
and in a safe pl
ace. Note
Failure to heed the control lamps and corre-
sponding t e

xt messages when they light up
may result in damage to the vehicle. Information relating to different vehi-
cle pr
oc

esses. In order to make the vehicle more difficult to
ste
al,

you should always lock the steering be-
fore leaving the vehicle.
Mechanical steering lock
The steering column is locked when the key
is removed from the ignition lock and the ve-
hicle is stationary.
Activating the steering lock
● Park the vehicle ›››

p
age 152.
● Remove the ignition key.
● Turn the steering wheel slightly until the
steering loc
k has engaged.
Deactivating the steering lock
● Turn the steering wheel slightly to release
the lock.
● Insert

the key in the ignition lock.
● Hold the steering wheel in this position
and switch on the ignition. El

ectromechanical steering
In vehicl
es with electromechanical steering,
the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to vehicle speed, steering
wheel torque and wheel orientation. The
power steering only works when the engine
is running.
You should take into account that you will
need considerably more power than normal
to steer the vehicle if the power steering is
not working correctly or at all.
Power-assisted steering
Power-assisted steering helps the driver in
critical situations. In counter-steering, it as-
sists by applying additional torque ››› .
WARNING
Power-assisted steering, together with the
ESC, helps the driv

er to control vehicle steer-
ing in critical situations. However, the driver
is ultimately responsible for steering the ve-
hicle at all times. Power-assisted steering
does not remove this responsibility. 149
