Trip memo-
ry (for a
single jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the journey and the con-
sumption from the moment the ignition is switched on un-
til it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2 hours, the memory
is automatically erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switched off, the new da-
ta is added to the data already stored in the memory.
2Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory stores the values of any number of journeys,
until it counts a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes of driv-
ing, or 1999.9 km or miles of driving, depending on the
type of instrument panel fitted. On reaching either of these
limits, the memory is automatically erased and starts to

Opening and closing
Central locking
Push the button ⇒ Fig. 19:
Unlocking the vehicle.
Lock the vehicle.
The central locking button is still operative when the ignition is switched off.
If the vehicle has been locked with the vehicle key, the central locking but-
ton does not operate.
Please note the following when you use the central locking button to lock
your vehicle:
● The deadlock will not activate ⇒ page 35.
● It will not be possible to open the doors or the rear lid from the outside
this may offer extra safety, when stopped at traffic lights for example.
● The doors can be opened and unlocked individually from the inside by
pulling the inside door handle. If necessary, pull the door release lever
twice.
● The driver door cannot be locked when it is still open. This avoids lock-
ing the vehicle key inside the vehicle when there is nobody inside.
Mechanical locking
The doors are locked by pressing the door lever, so that the red mark be-
comes visible ⇒ Fig. 20 1
.
To unlock a door, pull its corresponding door lever.

● The deadlock will not activate ⇒ page 35.
● It will not be possible to open the doors from the outside, when stopped
at traffic lights for example. ●
The doors can be opened and unlocked individually from the inside by
pulling the inside door handle.
● The driver door cannot be locked using the central locking system when
it is still open. This avoids locking the vehicle key inside the vehicle when
there is nobody inside.

● Close the door on the front passenger side.
● The PASSENGER AIR BAG control lamp on the dash panel will re-
main lit while the ignition is switched on ⇒ page 67.

How to know whether the front passenger front airbag is disabled
Disabling of the front passenger airbag is only indicated by the PASSENGER
AIR BAG control lamp that remains lit on the dash panel ( re-
mains yellow) ⇒ page 67.
If the control lamp on the dash panel does not remain lit or is lit in
combination with the control lamp on the instrument panel, a child re-
straint system cannot be mounted on the front passenger seat for safety
reasons. The front passenger front airbag may deploy during an accident.
WARNING
The front passenger front airbag must only be disabled in special cases.
● Disable and activate the front passenger front airbag when the igni-
tion is switched off to avoid damage to the airbag system.
● It is the driver's responsibility to ensure that the key operated switch
is set to the correct position.
WARNING (Continued)
● Only disable the front passenger front airbag when a child seat is to
be mounted under exceptional circumstances.
● As soon as the child seat is no longer needed on the front passenger
seat, reconnect the front passenger front airbag.

96Transporting
Transporting a load
Secure all objects in the vehicle
●Distribute the load throughout the vehicle and on the roof as uniformly
as possible.
● Transport heavy objects as far forward as possible in the luggage com-
partment and lock the seat backs in the vertical position.
● Check the headlight adjustment ⇒ page 82.
● Use the suitable tyre pressure according to the load being transported.
Read the tire inflation information label ⇒ page 210.
CAUTION
Objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating element in
the heated rear window and cause damage.
Note
Please refer to the notes on loading the roof carrier ⇒ page 104.
Driving with the rear lid open
Driving with the rear lid open creates an additional risk. Secure all objects
and secure the rear lid correctly and take all measures possible to reduce
toxic gases from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Driving with the rear lid unlocked or open could cause serious injuries.
● Always drive with the rear lid closed.
WARNING (Continued)
● Secure all objects in the vehicle. Loose items could fall out of the ve-
hicle and injure other road users or damage other vehicles.
● Drive particularly carefully and think ahead.
● Avoid sudden manoeuvres and braking given that this could cause an
uncontrolled movement of the open rear lid.
● When transporting objects that protrude out of the luggage compart-
ment, indicate them suitably. Observe legal requirements.
● If objects must project out of the luggage compartment, the rear lid
must never be used to “secure” or “attach” objects.
● If a baggage rack is fitted on the rear lid, it should be removed before
travelling with the rear lid open.
WARNING
Toxic gases may enter the vehicle interior when the rear lid is open. This
could cause loss of consciousness, carbon monoxide poisoning, serious
injury and accidents.
● To avoid toxic gases entering the vehicle always drive with the rear lid
closed.
● In exceptional circumstances, if you must drive with the rear lid open,
observe the following to reduce the entry of toxic gases inside the vehi-
cle:
–Close all windows.
– Disable air recirculation mode.
– Open all of the air outlets on the instrument panel.
– Switch on the blower to maximum.
CAUTION
An open rear lid changes the length and height of the vehicle.

Stopping and starting the engine Introduction
Immobiliser display
When an invalid key is used or in the event of a system fault, is dis-
played on the instrument panel. The engine cannot be started.
Pushing or towing
For technical reasons, the vehicle must not be push- or tow-started. Jump
starting is preferable.

● Fuel ⇒ page 177
● Emergency locking and unlocking ⇒ page 244
● Jump starting ⇒ page 275
● Tow starting and towing away ⇒ page 278
WARNING
Switching off the engine while driving makes stopping the vehicle diffi-
cult. As a consequence you may lose control of the vehicle and there is a
risk of serious accident.
● The assisted braking and steering systems, the airbag system, seat
belts and certain safety equipment are only active while the engine is
running.
● The engine should only be switched off when the vehicle is at a
standstill.
WARNING
While the engine is running or starting it could help reduce the risk of se-
rious injury.
● Never start or leave the engine running in poorly ventilated or closed
spaces. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide, a toxic, colourless and
odourless gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose conscious-
ness. It can also cause death.
● Never leave the vehicle unattended if the engine is running. The vehi-
cle could move off suddenly or something unexpected could happen re-
sulting in damage and serious injury.
● Never use start boosters. Cold start sprays could explode or increase
the engine speed unexpectedly.
