The warning lights in the instrument cluster indicate certain functions or
faults.
Some warning lights can be accompanied by acoustic signals and messages in
the display of the instrument cluster.
After switching on the ignition, some warning lights light up briefly as a func-
tion test. If the tested systems are OK, the corresponding warning lights go
out a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after starting the engine.
The warning lights are located at the following positions in the instrument
cluster » Fig. 18 on page 32 .

minate along with some of the warning lights in the list with the warning
lights.
Depending on vehicle equipment, some warning lights can be displayed in col-
our on the display. For example. the coolant warning lamp may be represented
as follows.
▶ - Segment display / monochromatic (“black and white”) MAXI DOT display
▶ - Coloured MAXI DOT display
WARNING■
Ignoring illuminated warning lights and related messages or instructions
in the display of the instrument cluster may lead to serious personal injury
or damage to the vehicle.■
If you have to stop for technical reasons, then park the vehicle at a safe
distance from the traffic, switch off the engine and switch on the hazard
warning lights » page 70. Place the warning triangle at the prescribed dis-
tance.

Other incidents
The illumination of the warning light can have the following reasons.
▶ The vehicle is loaded on one side. Distribute the load evenly.
▶ The wheels of one axle are loaded more heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or
when driving uphill or downhill).
▶ Snow chains are mounted.
▶ A wheel has been changed.
CAUTION
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light can be delayed or does not light up at all.

Anti-theft alarm system
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Alarm trigger
58
Interior monitor and towing protection
58
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to as alarm).
The alarm system is activated automatically approximately 30 seconds after the vehicle is locked. This is automatically disabled after release.
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, service life of which is 5 years. In
order to ensure functionality of the alarm system, we recommend that you get
the alarm checked after this time by a specialist garage.
Alarm trigger
Read and observe
on page 58 first.
The alarm is triggered when one of the following unauthorised actions is acti-
vated on the vehicle with an activated warning system. ▶ 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.
An alarm is triggered also when the driver's door is unlocked and opened by
the lock cylinder.
The alarm is switched off by pressing the
button on the key or switching on
the ignition.
Interior monitor and towing protection
Fig. 39
Button for interior monitor and
towing protection
Read and observe on page 58 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.
Both systems should be deactivated if there is a possibility that the alarm will
be triggered by movements (e.g. by people or animals) within the vehicle inte-
rior or if the vehicle has to be transported (e.g. by train or ship) or towed.
Deactivate
›
Switch off the ignition and open the driver's door.
›
Press the button on the centre column on the driver side
» Fig. 39,the
symbol illuminates in the button.
›
Lock the vehicle within 30 seconds.
Disabling the two systems switches off SafeLock.

WARNING■Ensure that the lock is properly engaged after closing the lid. Otherwise,
the lid might open suddenly while the vehicle is moving, even if the lid was
locked – risk of accident!■
Never drive with the lid open or unlatched, as otherwise exhaust gases
may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Only open and close the lid when no one is located in the opening/closing
range – risk of injury!
■
Make sure that no limbs are caught or crushed when closing the lid - risk
of injury!
■
When you open the boot lid make sure that there are no persons in the
opening area of the lid - there is a danger of injury!
CAUTION
■ Do not attempt to close the lid manually during the electrical closing process
- there is a risk of damaging the electric lid operation.■
When washing the vehicle in a car wash, we recommend that you lock the
vehicle (with the central locking button). In some car washes the boot lid might
open automatically due to the pressure action of the washing brushes - there
is a risk of damage to the vehicle interior.
CAUTION
■ Check that no objects are located in the opening/closing area which could
hinder the movement (e.g. cargo on the roof rack or on the trailer etc.) - there
is a risk of damage to the lid!■
In certain circumstances, if the lid is loaded (e.g. by a thick layer of snow), the
opening process of the lid can be interrupted. Remove the snow from the lid to
re-enable the electrical operation.
■
If the lid closes automatically (e.g. under load of snow), you will hear an inter-
mittent beep.
■
The flap is always to be close before disconnecting the battery.

open/close , move one foot in the sensor area below the rear bumper
quickly in the direction of the arrow » Fig. 42.
The brake light in the rear window illuminates and the lid opens/closes auto-
matically. An acoustic signal is sounded when opening/closing the lid.
If the lid does not move, then repeat the operating process after a few sec-
onds.
The lid movement can be stopped by a rapid swinging of the foot. Swinging
the foot again will continue the lid movement.

.
We recommend that the function is deactivated in the following cases:
▶ Installation of a roof rack.
▶ Connecting a trailer (accessory) to the towbar.
▶ Manual vehicle wash.
▶ Maintenance and repair work in the back of the vehicle.
When connecting a device to the trailer socket the deactivation of the function
takes place.

WARNING■ Always close the window carefully and controlled. Doing so may may
cause yourself or fellow passengers considerable crushing injuries.■
The system is fitted with a force limiter » page 63. If there is an obstacle
(e.g. In the event of a body part becoming trapped) the closing process is
stopped and the window goes down by several centimetres. However, the
windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
power windows.■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery.
Note
If the windows are opened, dust and other dirt can get into the vehicle and the
wind noise is more at certain speeds.

Xenon headlight
Read and observe
on page 66 first.
The Xenon headlights (hereinafter referred to as just system) use the drivingdata to automatically ensure the for the best possible light cone in front of the
vehicle.
The system will automatically operate in the following modes: urban, extra-ur-
ban, motorway, rain, fog, adjusting the lighting direction of the headlights for
road illumination on bends.
The system works as long as the light switch is in position
.
WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Seek help from
a specialist garage.Fog lights/rear fog lightFig. 51

Route guidance
Introduction to the subject
A route is created by starting route guidance to a destination. Additional inter-
mediate destinations can be added to the route.
The route guidance takes place as follows
▶ Through graphical driving instructions in the Infotainment display screen and
in the display of the instrument cluster.
▶ With navigation announcements.
Infotainment tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data
is incomplete or there is no data at all for the given area.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or
change the route.
CAUTION
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to out-of-date navigation data.
