Operation
For vehicles with no coolant temperature
g aug
e, a c
ontrol lamp  appears for high
coolant temperatures ››› page 274. Please
note ››› .
The c oo
l
ant temperature gauge only works
when the ignition is switched on ››› Fig. 124.
In order to avoid engine damage, please read
the following notes for the different tempera-
ture ranges.
Engine cold
If only the diodes in the lower part of the
scale light up, this indicates that the engine
has not yet reached operating temperature.
Avoid high revs and heavy acceleration and
do not make the engine work hard.
Normal temperature
If in normal operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp  does not light up on the instrument
panel digital display.
Heat range
When the diodes light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp appears on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperat
ure is excessive ››› page 274. CAUTION
â— To en s
ure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*
›››  page 43 as a guide.
â— Additional lights and other accessories in
front of
the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
â— The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the c
ooling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel level - Petrol/Diesel

only works when the
ignition is switched on. When the display rea-
ches the reserve mark, the lower diode lights
up in red and the control lamp ï‰ appears
››› page 114. When the fuel level is very low,
the lower diode flashes in red.
The fuel range is displayed on the instrument
panel ››› Fig. 122 3 .
The c ap
ac
ity of the fuel tank of your vehicle is
given in the Technical data section
›››  page 58. CAUTION
Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-
re gu
lar fuel supply could cause misfiring. In
this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-
haust system, which could cause the catalytic
converter to overheat resulting in damage. 118

gine changes to operate with petrol.
â— The yellow control lamp ï‰ lights up when
the re
serve level has been reached. Things to note
If the v
ehicle is left parked for a long time im-
mediately after refuelling, the natural gas lev-
el indicator may not accurately indicate the
same level shown after refuelling when the
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to
a leak in the system, but to a drop in pres-
sure in the gas tank for technical reasons af-
ter a cooling phase just after refuelling.
Control lamps
Warning and c
ontrol lamps Read the additional information carefully
› ›
›
 page 47.
The control and warning lamps are indicators
of warnings, ››› , faults
››
› or certain func-
tion s.
Some c
ontrol and warning lamps come
on when the ignition is switched on, and
switch off when the engine starts running, or
while driving.
Depending on the model, additional text
messages may be viewed on the instrument
panel display. These may be purely informa-
tive or they may be advising of the need for
action ›››
page 114, Instruments.
Depending upon the equipment fitted in the
vehicle, instead of a warning lamp, some- times a symbol may be displayed on the in-
strument p
anel.
When certain control and warning lamps are
lit, an audible warning is also heard. WARNING
If the warning lamps and messages are ignor-
ed, the v ehic
le may stall in traffic, or may
cause accidents and severe injuries.
â— Never ignore the warning lamps or text
mess
ages.
â— Stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible.
â— Park the vehicle away from traffic and en-
sure th
at there are no highly flammable ma-
terials under the vehicle that could come into
contact with the exhaust system (e.g. dry
grass, fuel).
â— A faulty vehicle represents a risk of acci-
dent for the driv
er and for other road users. If
necessary, switch on the hazard warning
lamps and put out the warning triangle to ad-
vise other drivers.
â— Before opening the bonnet, switch off the
engine and al
low it to cool.
â— In any vehicle, the engine compartment is a
hazar
dous area and could cause severe inju-
ries ››› page 270. CAUTION
Failure to heed the control lamps and text
mes s
ages when they appear may result in
faults in the vehicle. 119

 page 15
The vehicle can be locked and unlocked via
the central locking system. There are several
methods, depending on the vehicle equip-
ment:
◠key with remote control ››
›
page 127 ,
â— lock on driver door (emergency opening
›››
 page 15) or
◠interior central locking switch ›››
page 128.
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 128.
Auto Lock*
The Auto Lock function locks the doors and
the rear lid when the vehicle exceeds a speed
of about 15 km/h (9 mph). The vehicle is unlocked again when the igni-
tion key i
s removed. Alternatively, the vehicle
can also be unlocked via the central locking
switch or by pulling 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 128.
In the event of an accident in which the air-
bags inflate, the doors will be automatically
unlocked to facilitate access and assistance.
Anti-theft alarm system*
If the anti-theft alarm system senses interfer-
ence 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 ignition within
15 seconds. Otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. On some export versions, the alarm is
triggered immediately when you open a door.
To deactivate the alarm, press the  button
on the remote control key, or switch on the
ignition. After a certain time, the alarm will
automatically switch off.
Switch off the vehicle interior monitoring and
tow-away protection if you wish to prevent the alarm from being triggered accidentally
››› page 135.
Turn signals
The turn signals will flash twice when the ve-
hicle is unlocked and once when the vehicle
is locked.
If it does not flash, this indicates that one of
the doors, the rear lid or the bonnet is not
closed correctly.
Accidental lock-out
The central locking system prevents you from
being locked out of the vehicle in the follow-
ing situations: â— If the driver door is open, the vehicle can-
not be lock
ed with the central locking switch
››› page 128.
Lock the vehicle with the remote control key,
when all the doors and the rear lid have been
closed. This prevents the accidental locking
of the vehicle. WARNING
Do not leave anyone (especially children) in
the v ehic
le 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. » 125

Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. To do this, all
that is required is to have a valid vehicle key
in the detection area where you are attempt-
ing to access the vehicle ››› Fig. 135 and to
touch one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles ››› Fig. 136 ››› .
The v
ehic
le can be unlocked and locked via
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than ap-
prox. 1.5 m from the door handle.
It does not matter where you carry the key, for
instance whether it is in your jacket pocket or
in a briefcase. Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immedi
ately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the corresponding door or the entire ve-
hicle. The necessary adjustments can be per-
formed in vehicles with a driver information
system ›››
 page 33.
General information
If a valid key is in the proximity of the car
››› Fig. 135, the Keyless Access locking and
starting system gives the key entry as soon
as one of the sensor surfaces on the front
door handles is touched. The following fea-
tures are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
â— Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handles of the front doors or the soft-
touch/handle on the rear lid.
â— Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor of the driver or passenger door han-
dle.

Childproof lock 3 Applies to vehicles with 5 doors:
Fig. 139
Childproof lock on the left hand side
door . The childproof lock prevents the rear doors
fr
om bein
g opened fr
om the inside. This sys-
tem prevents minors from opening a door ac-
cidentally while the vehicle is running.
This function is independent of the vehicle
electronic opening and locking systems. It
only affects rear doors. It can only be activa-
ted and deactivated manually, as described
below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in
which y
ou wish to activate the childproof
lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin
g the ignition key, clockwise
for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 139 and anti-clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
De
activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door
whose chi
ldproof lock you want to deacti-
vate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in
the door usin
g the ignition key, anti-clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ››› Fig. 139
and clockwise for the right hand side
doors.
Once the childproof lock is activated, the
door can only be opened from the outside.
The childproof lock can be activated or deac-
tivated by inserting the key in the groove
when the door is open, as described above.
Anti-theft alarm system* Des
cription The anti-theft alarm makes it more difficult to
br
e
ak
into the vehicle or steal it.
The anti-theft alarm is automatically turned
on when the vehicle is locked with the key.
â— The turn signal light will flash twice on
opening and deactiv
ating the alarm. â—
The turn sign
al light will flash once on clos-
ing and activating the alarm.
When does the system trigger an alarm?
The anti-theft alarm siren will be triggered for
about 30 seconds accompanied by sound
and optical (flashing) warning signals and
will be repeated about ten times when the
vehicle is locked and the following unauthor-
ised actions are attempted:
â— Opening a door that is mechanically un-
locked u
sing the vehicle key without switch-
ing on the ignition in the next 15 seconds (in
certain markets, such as the Netherlands,
there is no 15 second waiting time and the
alarm is activated immediately on opening
the door).
â— A door is opened.
â— The bonnet is opened.
â— The rear lid is opened.
â— When the ignition is switched on with a
non-authorised k
ey.
â— When the vehicle battery is disconnected.
â— Movement inside the vehicle (in vehicles
with interior monit
oring ››› page 135).
â— When the vehicle is towed (in vehicles with
anti-tow sy
stem ››› page 135).
â— When the vehicle is raised (in vehicles with

How to turn OFF the alarm
Unlock the vehicle with the unlocking button
on the key or turn on the ignition with a valid
key. Note
â— Aft er 28 d
ays, the indicator light will be
switched off to prevent the battery from ex-
hausting if the vehicle has been left parked
for a long period of time. The alarm system
remains activated.
â— If, after the audible warning goes off, an-
other monitored ar
ea is accessed (e.g. the
rear lid is opened after a door has been
opened), the alarm is triggered again.
â— The anti-theft alarm is not activated when
the vehic
le is locked from within using the
central locking button .
â— If the driver door is unlocked mechanically
with the key
, only the driver door is unlocked,
the rest of the doors remain locked. Only
when the ignition has been turned on will the
other doors be available - but not unlocked -
and the central locking button will be activa-
ted. â—
If the v
ehicle battery is run down or flat
then the anti-theft alarm will not operate cor-
rectly.
â— Vehicle monitoring remains active even if
the batter
y is disconnected or not working for
any reason.
â— The alarm is triggered immediately if one of
the batter
y cables is disconnected while the
alarm system is active. Vehicle interior monitoring and anti-
to
w sy
stem* It is a monitoring or control function incorpo-
r
at
ed in the anti-thef
t alarm* which detects
unauthorised vehicle entry by means of ultra-
sound.
Activation
– It is automatically switched on when the
anti-theft al
arm is activated.
Deactivation – Open the vehicle with the key, either me-
chanic
ally or by pressing the  button on
the remote control. The time period from
when the door is opened until the key is in-
serted in the contact should not exceed 15
seconds, otherwise the alarm will be trig-
gered. –
Pres
s the  button on the remote control
twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sen-
sors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system are automatically switched on
again next time the vehicle is locked.
The vehicle interior monitoring and anti-tow
sensor (tilt sensor) are automatically switch-
ed on when the anti-theft alarm is switched
on. In order to activate it, all the doors and
the rear lid must be closed.
If you wish to switch off the vehicle interior
monitoring and the anti-tow system, it must
be done each time that the vehicle is locked;
if not, they will be automatically switched on.
The vehicle interior monitoring and the anti-
tow system should be switched off if animals
are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise,
their movements will trigger the alarm) or
when, for example, the vehicle is transported
or has to be towed with only one axle on the
ground.
False alarms
Interior monitoring will only operate correctly
if the vehicle is completely closed. Please ob-
serve related legal requirements.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
â— Open windows (partially or fully).
134
Page 137 of 332

Opening and closing
â— Panor
amic/ti
lting sunroof open (partially or
completely).
â— Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
â— If the v
ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
â— If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
â— The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
â— If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-
t
orin
g and anti-t
ow system* When the vehicle is locked, the alarm will be
trigg
er
ed if movements are detected in the
interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.
â— To switch off the interior monitoring and
to w-
away protection, switch off the ignition
and, using the Infotainment system, select: ïƒïï’ button >
