WARNING■Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ised persons (e.g. children) could lock the car, turn on the ignition or start
the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave persons who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. These individuals
might not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or to help themselves.
Can be fatal at very high or very low temperatures!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the key grooves clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust etc.) have a nega-
tive effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.

The panoramic tilt / slide sunroof (hereinafter referred to as tilt / slide sunroof)
can only be operated when the ignition is turned on and when the outdoor
temperature is above -20 °C.
WARNINGWhen operating the tilt/slide sunroof and the sunshade, proceed with cau-
tion to avoid causing crushing injuries – risk of injury!
CAUTION
■ During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vi-
cinity of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the
opening mechanism.■
Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.

Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 48 first.
The sliding/tilting roof is fitted with a force limiter.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the glass pane re-
tracts by several centimetres.
WARNINGIf the tilt / slide sunroof is closed, by pulling on the recess of the switch in
the direction of arrow 2, » Fig. 36 on page 48 and the closing process is
hindered by an obstacle, then at the third attempt at closing, the force limi-
tation will cease to function (if less than 5 s passes between the individual
attempts to close). The tilt / slide sunroof closes with full force - this can
cause injury.

WARNINGDo not use the windscreen washer system at low temperatures, without
heating the windscreen beforehand. The window washer fluid could other-
wise freeze on the windscreen and restrict the view to the front.
CAUTION
■ If the windscreen wipers are in the switched-off position, they cannot be
raised off the windscreen. Before collapsing the wipers, the wipers must be
set to the service position » page 143.■
In cold temperatures and during the winter, check before switching on the
ignition that the wiper blades are not frozen to the windscreen. If the wind-
screen wipers are switched on when the blades are frozen to the windscreen,
this may damage the blades and windscreen wiper motor!
■
Carefully separate frozen windscreen wiper blades from the windscreen and
free from snow and ice.
■
Handle the windscreen wipers with care - there is a risk of damage to the
windscreen by the windscreen wiper arms.
■
Do not switch on the ignition when the wiper arm is raised from the wind-
screen - there is a risk of damage to the bonnet by the wiper arms.
■
If there is an obstacle on the windscreen, the wipers will try to push away
the obstacle. The wipers then stop to prevent themselves from being dam-
aged. Only switch the wipers on again after the obstacle has been removed.

WARNING■If the seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be transported on the
outer seat behind the driver.■
The front passenger airbag should be switched off when transporting ob-
jects on the seat backrest that has been folded forwards » page 20.
■
Do not adjust the seat back while driving - danger of injury and accidents!

■
Never transport the following items on the seat backrest when folded
forwards. ■Objects that could restrict the driver's view.
■ Objects which make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle
(e.g. if they roll under the pedals, or protrude into the driver's zone).
■ Objects which could lead to injury to passengers (e.g. if accelerating
sharply, braking or changing direction).

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there is a risk of accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
