sponding descriptions and warning notes, this may result in severe body 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
compartment, e.g. inspecting and replenis
hing oil and other fluids. It is also
essential to observe all warnings
⇒page 225, “Working in the engine

The arrangement of the indicator lights depends on the model version. The
symbols shown in the following functional description are to be found as indicator lights in the instrument cluster.•
Operational faults are shown in the instrument cluster as red symbols (priority
1 - danger) or yellow symb
ols (priority 2 - warning).
Turn signal system
Either the left
or right
indicator light flashes depending on the position of the
turn signal lever. The indicator light flashes at twice its normal ra
te if a turn signal light fails. This does
not apply when towing a trailer. Switching off the hazard warning light system is switched on will cause all of the turn signal lights as well as
both indicator lights to flash.

Folding out of the key – Press button . Folding up of the key – Press button and collapse the key bit in the housing.The turn signal lights flash twice as
confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked. The vehicle will lock again auto
matically if you unlock the vehicle using
button but do not open a door or the b
oot lid within the next 30 seconds. This
function is intended to prevent the car being unlocked unintentionally. In addition, when the car is unlocked, the el
ectrically adjustable seats and exterior

not closed, the turn signal lights flash only after closing.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outsid
e and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person in the vehicle as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers to get into
the vehicle in an emergency - hazard!
Note
•
Operate the radio remote control only when the doors and boot lid are closed
and you have visual co
ntact with the vehicle.
•
Once in the car, you must
not press the lock button
of the radio remote
control before inserting the key into the ignition lock in order to avoid the car being inadvertently locked and, in addition, the anti-theft alarm system* being switched on. Should this happen, press the unlock button
of the radio remote control.

g the remote control system then it is
possible that the code in the key and the
control unit in the vehicle are no longer
synchronised. This can occur when the buttons on the radio-operated key are actu- ated a number of times outside of the operative range of the equipment or the battery on the remote control was replaced.

.
Switching off lights (except daylight driving lights) – Turn the light switch into position°0.Low beam comes on only if the ignition is switched on. After switching off the igni- tion, the low beam is switched off automati
cally and only the side lights come on.
For vehicles which are equipped with
the function Comi
ng/Leaving-Home*
⇒ page 60, the side lights also go out.
On models fitted with
right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in
⇒fig. 54
. The symbols which mark the switch positions are
identical, however.
WARNING
Never drive with side lights on - risk of accident! 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. In this case, always switch on the low beam when it is dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
•
An audible warning will sound if you withdraw the ignition key and open the
driver's door when the vehicle lights are still on.•
The acoustic warning signal is switched off over the door contact when the
driver's door is closed (ignition off). The
vehicle can be parked with the side lights
on.•
If the car is parked for a lengthy period
, we recommend switching off all lights,
or leaving only the parking lights switched on.•
The switching on of the described lights
should only be undertaken in accord-
ance with the legal requirements.•
If a fault occurs in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically
•
In the event of cool or humid weather co
nditions, the headligh
ts can be misted
up from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the head- light lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period. The headli
ght lenses can possib
ly mist up at the
border areas. − It also concerns reverse light and turn signal lights. − This mist has no influence on th
e life of the lighting system.
