If the journey is continued in less than 2 hours after the ig-
nition is switched off, the new data is added to the data al-
ready stored in the memory. The memory will automatically
be deleted if the journey is interrupted for more than two
hours.
MFD from re-
fuellingDisplay and storage of the values for the journey and the
consumption. By refuelling, the memory will be erased au-
tomatically.

Opening and closing
Opening and closing Central locking system
Description
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via the central locking system.
There are several methods, depending on the vehicle equipment:
● key with remote control ⇒ page 92,
● lock on driver door (emergency opening ⇒ page 98) or
● interior central locking switch ⇒ page 94.
Unlocking one side of the vehicle only
When you lock the vehicle with the key, the doors and the rear lid are
locked. When you open the door, you can either unlock only the driver door,
or all the vehicle doors. To select the required option, use Easy Connect*
⇒ page 93.
Central locking (Auto Lock)
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and the rear lid when the vehicle ex-
ceeds a speed of about 15 km/h (10 mph).
The vehicle is unlocked again when the ignition key is removed. Alternative-
ly, the vehicle can also be unlocked via the central locking switch or by pull-
ing one of the inside door handles. The Auto Lock function can be switched
on and off on the sound system or on the Easy Connect* system
⇒ page 93.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags inflate, the doors will be au-
tomatically unlocked to facilitate access and assistance. Anti-theft security system (Safelock)
1)
The following message is displayed on the instrument panel to remind the
driver that when the vehicle is closed from the outside, the anti-theft securi-
ty system is switched on.  Do not forget the Safelock. Please see Instruction
Manual. The vehicle cannot be opened from inside. This makes it more diffi-
cult for unauthorised persons to break into the vehicle ⇒ .
The anti-theft security system can be switched off each time the vehicle is
locked:
● Turn the key a second time to the lock position, in the door lock, for the
next two seconds . If necessary, remove the protective cover on the driver
door handle ⇒ page 98. or
● Press 
on the remote control key for a second time
for the following 2
seconds.
The flashing frequency of the diode in the door sill immediately confirms
the process. Initially, the diode flashes in a fast sequence for a brief period,
then it stops for approximately 30 seconds and, lastly continues flashing
slowly.
Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interference with the vehicle it triggers
an audible and visible alarm.
The anti-theft alarm system is automatically switched on when locking the
vehicle. It switches off when the vehicle is unlocked from a distance.
When the driver door is unlocked with the key, you should switch on the ig-
nition within 15 seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be triggered. On some
export versions, the alarm is triggered immediately when you open a door. 

Rear lid (luggage compartment)
Rear lid
The rear lid opening system operates electrically. It is activa-
ted by using the handle on the rear lid.
Fig. 57 Rear lid: opening
from the outside
Opening the rear lid
– Pull on the release lever and lift the rear lid ⇒ Fig. 57. The rear
lid will automatically open.
Closing the rear lid
– Hold the rear lid by one of the two handles on the interior lining
and close it, pushing slightly.
To lock/unlock, press the button 
or the button
1 on the remote control
key. A warning appears on the instrument panel display if the rear lid is open or
not properly closed.* An audible warning is also given if the rear lid is
opened while the vehicle is moving faster than 6 km/h (4 mph).*
WARNING
● Always close the rear lid properly. Risk of accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the reverse or rear fog lights
are lit. This may damage the tail lights
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down with your hand on the
rear window. The glass could smash. Risk of injury!
● Ensure the rear lid is locked after closing it. If not, it may open unex-
pectedly while driving.
● Never allow children to play in or around the vehicle. A locked vehicle
can be subjected to extremely high and low temperatures, depending on
the time of year, thus causing serious 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.
● Closing 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, exhaust gases may
penetrate into the interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave the key inside. The vehicle
will not be opened if the key is left inside.

.
– From the base position, move the main beam and turn signal
lever forwards ⇒ page 110. When the warning lamp  is dis-
played on the instrument panel display, the main beam assist is
switched on.
To

system off:
– Switch off the ignition.
– OR: Turn the light switch to a different position to 
⇒ page 111.
– OR: with main beam on, move the main beam and turn signal
lever backwards.
– OR: Move the main beam and turn signal lever forwards to
manually switch main beam on. The main beam assist will then
be deactivated.
Malfunctions
The following conditions may prevent the main beam headlight control from
turning off the headlights in time or from turning off altogether:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective signs.
● Other insufficiently lit road users (such as pedestrians or cyclists).
● On tight bends and steep slopes (bumps) and when oncoming vehicles
are partially obscured.
● When the drivers of other oncoming vehicles (such as a truck) can see
over a guard rail in the centre of the road.
● If the camera is damaged or the power supply is cut off.
● In fog, snow and heavy rain.
● With dust and sand turbulence.
● With loose gravel in the field of vision of the camera.
● When the field of vision of the camera is misted up, dirty or covered by
stickers, snow, ice...
WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam assist should not encourage
the taking of risks. The system is not a replacement for driver concentra-
tion.
● You are always in control of the main beam and adapting it to the
light, visibility and traffic conditions.
● It is possible that the main beam headlight control does not recog-
nise all driving situations and is limited under certain circumstances.
● When the field of vision of the camera is dirty, covered or damaged,
operation of the main beam control may be affected. This also applies
when changes are made to the vehicle lighting system, for example, if
additional headlights are installed.
CAUTION
To avoid affecting the operation of the system, take the following points in-
to consideration:
● Clean the field of vision of the camera regularly and make sure it is free
of snow and ice.
● Do not cover the field of vision of the camera.
● Check that the windscreen is not damaged in the area of the field of vi-
sion of the camera.
Note
Main beam and headlight flasher can be turned on and off manually at any
time with the turn signal and main beam lever ⇒ page 110. 
Adjusting the headlights
The light beam of the dipped beam lights is asymmetric: the side of the
road on which you are driving is lit more intensely. 
