synchronise the code as follows:
•
Press any button on the remote control.
•
pressing of the button means that the d
oor will unlock with the key within 1
minute.

tomatically when the vehicle is locked with
the key on the closed driver's door or by us
ing the radio remote control. It is activated
30 seconds after locking the door. How is the alarm system deactivated? The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated if
the vehicle is unlocked by only using the
radio remote control. The vehicle is automati
cally locked again if the vehicle is not
opened within 30 seconds after reactivating the anti-theft alarm system. Once you unlock the vehicle by inserting the ke
y into the driver door you then have to
insert the key into the ignition lock and sw
itch the ignition on within 15 seconds after
opening the door in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The

Boot lid,
•
Doors,
•
Ignition lock,
•
Angle of the vehicle*
⇒page 47,
•

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 ignition,
the low beam is switched off automatically and only the side lights come on. For vehi- cles which are equipped with the function Coming/Leaving-Home*

side lights also go out. On models fitted with
right-hand steering
the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in
⇒fig. 44
. The symbols which mark the switch positions are iden-
tical, 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 wi
thdraw 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 accordance
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 cond
itions, the headlights can be misted up
from inside.
− The temperature difference between interior and external area of the headlight lenses is decisive. − When the driving lights are switched on,
the light outlet surfaces are free from
mist after a short period. The headlight lens
es can possibly 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.
Daylight driving lightsIn some countries, the na
tional legal provisions require that the vehicles are equipped
with the function daylight driving lights.

Cornering lights*The cornering lights are used to illuminate
the curves by means of the cone of light
swiveling together with the front headlight with Xenon lights*. This function is active when the speed of the car increases to more than 10km/h. The swiveling function of the headlights ca
n be switched off / on via the menu point

ts are defective, the headlights are automatically lowered to
the emergency position, which prevents a
possible dazzling of oncoming traffic.
Thus the illuminated length of the road is shortened. Drive carefully and have the car inspected immediatel
y by a specialist garage.
