WARNING■ This chapter contains important information on how to use the vehicle for
the driver and his occupants.■
You can find further information on safety concerning you and those trav-
elling with you in the following chapters of this owner's manual.
■
The complete on-board literature should always be in the vehicle. This
applies in particular, if you rent out or sell the vehicle.
Before setting off
Read and observe
on page 8 first.
For your own safety and the safety of the people travelling with you, please
pay attention to the following points before setting off.
Ensure that the lighting and the turn signal system are functioning proper-
ly.
Ensure that the function of the wiper and the condition of the wiper
blades are free of any defects.
Ensure that all of the windows offer good visibility to the outside.
Adjust the rear-view mirror so that vision to the rear is guaranteed.
Ensure that the mirrors are not covered.
Check the tyre inflation pressure.
Check the engine oil, brake fluid and coolant level.
Secure all items of luggage.
Do not exceed the permissible axle loads and permissible gross weight of
the vehicle.
Close all doors as well as the bonnet and boot lid.
Ensure that no objects can obstruct the pedals.
Protect children in suitable child seats with correctly fastened seat
belts » page 22 , Transporting children safely .
Adopt the correct seated position » page 9, Correct and safe seated
position . Tell your passengers to assume the correct seated position.
Driving safety
Read and observe
on page 8 first.
The driver is fully responsible for himself and his occupants. If your driving
safety is affected, you place yourself and the oncoming traffic at risk.
The following guidelines must therefore be observed. Do not become distracted from concentrating on the traffic situation, e.g.
by your passengers or mobile phone calls.
Never drive when your driving ability is impaired, e.g. due to medication, al-
cohol or drugs.
Keep to the traffic regulations and the permissible speed limit.
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather condi-
tions.
Take regular breaks on long journeys – at least every two hours.

CAUTION
■
Only operate the remote control when the doors and boot lid are closed and
the vehicle is in your line of sight.■
If the driver door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked using the remote con-
trol key.
■
Operation of the remote control may temporarily be affected by signal inter-
ference from transmitters close to the car and which operate in the same fre-
quency range.
Note
For vehicles with anti-theft alarm the acoustic signals can also be activated/
deactivated by locking/unlocking » page 47.

WARNING■Ensure that no persons are still left in the vehicle when locking the vehi-
cle. In an emergency, the windows will no longer be able to be opened from
the inside.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of
injury.
■
Deactivating the electrically operated power windows in the rear doors is
recommended (safety push button)
S
when children are being transported
in the rear seats » Fig. 44 on page 62 .
CAUTION
■
Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the
ice » page 179 , Windows and exterior mirrors and only then operate the elec-
trical power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power
window mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice accumulating on the surface of the window may cause
there to be more resistance when closing the window. The window will stop
and move back several centimetres.
■
It is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the win-
dow » page 63 .
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds, you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.Note■ After switching the ignition off, it is still possible to open or close the win-
dows for approx. 10 minutes. After the driver's or front passenger's door has
been opened, the windows can only be operated by using button A
» Fig. 44
on page 62 .
■
When driving always use the existing heating, air conditioning and ventila-
tion system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. If the windows are
opened, dust as well as other dirt can get into the vehicle and in addition the
wind noise is more at certain speeds.
■
The window lift system is equipped with protection against overheating. Re-
peated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to over-
heat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a short
time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the overheating
protection has cooled down.

Adaptive headlights (AHL)
Read and observe
on page 67 first.
The AHL system makes sure the street remains lit up depending on the traffic
and weather situation.
The AHL system automatically adjusts the cone of light in front of the vehicle
to the driving speed or the use of the wiper.
The AHL system works as long as the light switch is in position .
» page 70
The AHL system operates in the following modes.
Out of town mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is similar to the low beam.
City mode
The light cone in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that this and the adjacent
pavements, intersections, pedestrian crossings, etc. are illuminated. The mode
is active at speeds of 15 - 50 km / h.
Motorway mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
spond in time to an obstruction or other hazard in time. The mode activates
progressively from a speed of 90 km / h onward. It is most efficient at a speeds
above 120 km / h.
Rain mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver can re-
duce the glare from oncoming vehicles in rain.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the windscreen wipers
continuously operate for a period of time longer than 2 minutes. The mode is
deactivated when the windscreen wipers are switched off for longer than 8
minutes.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all AHL modes.

When the heater is switched on, a lamp illuminates inside the button.
The heater only works when the engine is running.
The heater automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes.
For the sake of the environment
The heating should be switched off as soon as the window is de-iced or free
from mist. The reduced current consumption will have a favourable effect on
fuel economy » page 151, Saving electrical energy .
Note
■
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically, in order
to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 197, Auto-
