The warning lights show certain functions/faults and may be accompanied by
audible signals.
WARNING■ If illuminated warning lights and the corresponding descriptions and warn-
ing notes are not observed, this may result in severe injuries or major vehicle
damage.■
The engine compartment of your car is a hazardous area. There is a risk of
injuries, scalding, accidents and fire when working in the engine compart-
ment, e.g. inspecting and replenishing oil and other fluids. It is essential to ob-
serve safety notes » page 127, Engine compartment .
Handbrake
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 16.
The warning light
comes on if the handbrake is applied. An audible warning is
also given if you drive the vehicle for at least 3 seconds at a speed of more than
6 km/h.
Braking system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
The warning light
illuminates if the brake fluid level is too low or there is a
fault in the ABS.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake flu-
id » page 133 .

Airbag systemFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 16.
Monitoring the airbag system
The warning light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on.
There is a fault in the system if the warning light does not go out or flashes while
driving »
. This also applies if the warning light does not come on when the ig-
nition is switched on.
The operational capability of the airbag system is monitored electronically, includ-
ing when one of the airbags is switched off.
The following situation applies if the front or side airbag or belt tensioner have
been switched off using the vehicle system tester:
› The warning light
lights up for around 4 seconds after switching on the igni-
tion and then flashes approximately another 12 seconds in 2 second intervals.
The following situation applies if the airbag has been switched off using the key switch for the airbag in the front passenger storage compartment:
› The warning light
comes on for a few seconds when the ignition is switched
on;
› The deactivated airbag is indicated by the illumination of the warning light
in the middle of the dash panel » page 102, Deactivating
the front passenger airbag .
WARNINGIf there is a fault, have the airbag system checked immediately by a specialist
garage. Otherwise, there is a risk that the airbag will not be deployed in the event of an accident.
Automated transmission
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 16.
Warning light
Do not continue your journey if the warning light
lights up and an acoustic sig-
nal sounds. Switch off the engine and seek assistance from a specialist garage.
Warning light
If the warning light lights up and no gear can be selected, switch the ignition
on and off. If the warning light lights up after you switch on the ignition, seek as- sistance from a specialist garage.
If the warning light or warning light lights up and an acoustic signal sounds,
this means that the automatic gearbox has overheated. Stop and allow the trans-
mission to cool down or drive more quickly than 20 km/h (12 mph).
If the warning light lights up again, switch off the vehicle, shut off the engine
and allow the gearbox to cool down.

Unlocking
The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been un-
locked. If the vehicle is unlocked using button
1
and none of the doors or the
luggage compartment lid are opened within the next 30 seconds, the vehicle is
automatically locked again and the safe securing system is reactivated. This func-
tion is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally.
Locking
The turn signal lights flash once to confirm that the vehicle has been correctly
locked.
If the doors or the luggage compartment lid remain open after the vehicle has
been locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
WARNINGIf the car is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is activated,
there must not be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open ei-
ther a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more diffi-
cult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!ABNoteOnly operate the remote control when the doors and luggage compartment lid
are closed and the vehicle is in your line of sight.
Synchronization
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 27.

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of the controls differs
from that shown in » Fig. 22 on page 33 . The symbols which mark the positions
of the controls are however identical.
WARNING■ The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note■ The instruments are also illuminated when the side light or low beam light is
switched on.■
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the
headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has no
influence on the life of the lighting system.

Additionally installed modules such as bicycle carriers can impair the function of
the parking aid.
Function
Fig. 77
Parking aid: Range of sensors
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 81.
The parking aid (hereafter referred to solely as system) only works when the igni-tion is switched on.
The system assists the driver by giving acoustic signals and displaying informa-
tion on the screen of the Move & Fun multi-function device when parking and
manoeuvring » page 82, Visual parking system .
The system uses ultrasound waves to calculate the distance between the bumper
and an obstacle. The ultrasonic sensors are integrated in the rear bumper.
Range of sensors
The clearance warning begins at a distance of about 150 cm from the obstacle
(area
A
» Fig. 77 ). The interval between the warning signals becomes shorter as
the clearance is reduced.
A continuous tone sounds from a distance of approx. 30 cm (area
B
) – danger
area. You should not reverse any further after this signal sounds!
Activation/deactivation
The parking aid is activated automatically when reverse gear is engaged and the
ignition is turned on. This is confirmed by a brief audible signal.
The parking aid is deactivated by removing the reverse gear.
