The indicator lights show certain functions/faults and may be accompanied by au-
dible signals.
WARNING■ If illuminated indicator 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 206, Engine compartment .
Handbrake
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 14.
The indicator 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.
The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Release parking brake!
Brake system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 14.
The indicator light illuminates if the brake fluid level in the braking system is

The following message is shown in the MAXI DOT display. Brake fluid: Log book!
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine, and check the level of the brake flu-
id » page 214 »
.
WARNING■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe dis-
tance from the traffic, switch off the engine and activate the hazard warning
light system » page 56.■
The following guidelines should be observed when opening the bonnet and
checking the brake fluid level » page 206, Engine compartment .
■
If the warning light is displayed simultaneously with warning light

Remote control key
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings on page 32.
Two remote control keys are provided with the vehicle » Fig. 12.
The transmitter with the battery is housed in the handle of the remote control
key. The receiver is located in the interior of the vehicle.
The operating range of the remote control key is approx. 30 m. But this range ofthe remote control can be reduced if the batteries are weak.
The remote control key has a fold-open key bit which can be used for unlocking
and locking the car manually and also for starting the engine.
The spare key must by initialised by a specialist garage after repair or replace-
ment of the receiver unit. Only then can the remote control key be used again.
WARNING■ Always withdraw the key whenever you leave the vehicle - even if it is only
for a short time. This is particularly important if children are left in the vehicle.
Otherwise, the children might start the engine or operate electrical equipment
(e.g. power windows) – risk of injury!■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle has
come to a stop. The steering lock might otherwise engage unintentionally –
risk of accident!
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 igni-
tion lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away » page 239.
Note
If you lose a key, please contact a specialist garage, who will be able to provide
you with a new one.

Recirculated air mode
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 100.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, for example when driving through a tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Voice commands - GSM II

Voice commands - GSM III

Dialogue
Fig. 112
Multifunction steering wheel
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 122.
The voice control system (hereinafter referred to as the system) makes it possible to use voice commands for some functions of the hands-free system.
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commandsand to carry them out is called a dialogue. The system gives audible feedback and guides you if necessary through the relevant functions.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors. › Speak with a normal tone of voice without intonation and excessive pauses.
› Avoid a bad pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof, to reduce or stop disturbing exterior
noise.
› You are recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that the sound of
your voice is not drowned out by the increased ambient noise.
› During the dialogue, limit additional noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talking
at the same time.
› Do not speak, if the system makes an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is inserted in the moulded headliner and direc- ted to the driver and front passenger. Therefore the driver and the front passen-
ger can operate the equipment.
Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous series of individually spo-
ken digits (the whole number at once) or in the form of digital blocks (separated
by short pauses). After each order of digits (separation through brief voice pause)
all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.
The digits 0 - 9, symbols +,
, # are permitted. The system detects no continuous
digit combinations such as twenty-three, but only individually spoken digits (two, three).
Activating voice control - GSM II
By briefly pressing the button 1
» Fig. 112 on the multifunction steering wheel.
Deactivating voice control - GSM II If the system is currently playing a message, you will need to end the message currently being played by briefly pressing the button
1
on the multi-function
steering wheel.
If the system expects a voice command, you can end the dialogue yourself:
› with the
CANCEL voice command;
› by briefly pressing the button
1
on the multifunction steering wheel.
Activating voice control - GSM III
The dialogue can be started at any time by pressing the button

.
Deactivating voice control - GSM III If the system is currently playing a message, the message that is currently being
played must be terminated by pressing the button
