Range
The detail provides information about the distance in km, that can be travelled
with the current tank and with the same driving style.
If you drive more efficiently this value can increase.
Average fuel consumption
The indication is calculated continuously since the last deletion of the memory.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 100 m driven.
Current fuel consumption
You can use this information to adapt your driving style to the desired fuel
consumption.
When the vehicle is stationary or slowly moving the fuel consumption is dis-
played in l/h (on models for some countries the following appears --,- km/l).
Oil temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range of 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature has been reached.
If the oil temperature is lower than 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine
revs, full throttle and high engine loads.
If the oil temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in the system for
checking the oil temperature are displayed instead of the oil temperature.
Warning against excessive speeds
Set the speed limit, for example, for the maximum permissible speed in town
» page 41 .
Current driving speed
The display is identical to the display on the speedometer.
Average speed
The indication is calculated continuously since the last deletion of the memory.
After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m driven.
Distance travelled
The distance travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.
The maximum distance indicated is 9,999 km. The indicator is automatically
set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Driving time
The time travelled since the memory was last erased is displayed.The maximum distance indicated is 99 hours and 59 minutes. The indicator is
automatically set back to zero if this period is exceeded.
Coolant temperature
If the engine oil temperature is in the range 80-110 °C, the engine operating
temperature is reached.
If the temperature lies below 80 °C or above 110 °C, avoid high engine revs, full
throttle and high engine loads.

Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel fill-
er flap and boot lid at the same time. The functions of the central locking sys-
tem can be individually adjusted » page 52.
After unlocking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash twice as confirmation that the vehicle has been
unlocked.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are unlocked.
▶ The interior lamp illuminates.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched off.
▶ The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
After locking, depending on vehicle equipment and setting the following is
valid for the central locking. ▶ The turn signal lights flash once as confirmation that the vehicle has been
locked.
▶ The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap are locked.
▶ The interior lamp goes out.
▶ The SafeLock system is switched on.

▶The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
▶ The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.
Protection against unwanted vehicle unlocking
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically and the SafeLock system
or anti-theft alarm system will be switched on.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - there is a 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 leave the vehicle on their own 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 groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) have a negative effect on the functionality of the locking cylinder and ig-
nition lock.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.

Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior monitor and towing protection
54
The anti-theft alarm system (hereinafter referred to as alarm system) increa-
ses protection against theft and break-in attempts into the vehicle.
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after
the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
▶ Opening the bonnet.
▶ Opening the boot lid.
▶ Opening the doors.
▶ Manipulation of the ignition lock.
▶ Towing the vehicle.
▶ Movement in the vehicle.
▶ Sudden and significant voltage drop of the electrical system.
▶ Uncoupling the trailer.
If the driver's door of a vehicle is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder,
then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
CAUTION
Before leaving the vehicle, it must be checked that all of the windows, doors
and the sliding/tilting roof are locked in order to ensure the full functionality of
the anti-theft alarm system.
Note
The alarm system has its own power source. The working life of the power
supply source is 5 years.
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 41
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 54 first.
The interior monitor detects movements inside the locked vehicle and then
triggers the alarm.
The anti-towing detects tilts in the locked vehicle and then triggers the alarm.
Deactivate the interior monitor and the towing protection if there is a possibili-
ty of the alarm being triggered by movements (e.g. by children or animals)
within the vehicle interior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train
or ship) or towed.
Deactivation

■ Turning on the parking light means the battery is heavily loaded.■The parking light cannot be turned off automatic due to the low battery
charge level.■
If the two-sided parking lights are switched on when the ignition is off, then
there is no automatic switching off of the parking light.
Driving abroad

CAUTION■If the hand wheel A is not turned all the way to the stop, then it will return
to its initial position when the tow bar is removed and will rest on the tow bar
and not engage into the ready position. The ball head then needs to be
brought into this position before the next time it is fitted » page 118, Adjusting
the ready position .■
The mounting recess must be closed with the cover following removal. This
prevents foreign bodies from getting into the mounting recess.

weight of the trailer must not exceed - this could cause an accident!
Towing a trailer
Driving speed
For safety reasons, do not drive faster than 80 km/h when towing a trailer.
Immediately reduce your speed as soon as even the slightest swaying of the
trailer is detected. Never attempt to stop the trailer from “swaying” by acceler-
ating.
Brakes
Apply the brakes in good time! If the trailer is fitted with a trailer brake, apply
the brakes gently at first, then brake firmly. This will avoid brake jolts resulting
from the trailer wheels locking.
On downhill sections shift down a gear in good time to also use the engine as
a brake.
WARNINGAlways drive particularly carefully with the trailer.
CAUTION
If you tow a trailer frequently, you should also have your vehicle inspected be-
tween service intervals.
Anti-theft alarm system
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is activated when the electrical connec-
tion to the trailer is interrupted.
Always switch off the anti-theft alarm system before a trailer is coupled or un-
coupled » page 54 .
Conditions for including a trailer in the anti-theft alarm system. The vehicle is factory-fitted with an anti-theft alarm system and towing
device.
The trailer is electrically connected to the towing vehicle by means of the
trailer socket.
