Safe securingThe central locking system is equipped with a safe securing
6) system. Locking the
vehicle from the outside causes the door locks to be automatically blocked. It is not
possible to open the doors with the door handle either from the inside or from the
outside. This acts as an effective deterren t for attempts to break into your vehicle.
You can deactivate the safe securing system by locking twice within 2 seconds.
If the safe securing system is not operating, the warning light in the driver door flashes
for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and st arts to flash slowly again after about
30°seconds.
The safe securing system is again activated the next time the vehicle is unlocked and
locked again.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is deactivated, you can open the
vehicle from the inside by pulling on the d oor opening lever. The door is unlocked and
opened at the same time.
WARNING
If the vehicle is locked from the outside and the safe securing system is acti-
vated, there must not be any person and animals in the vehicle as it is then not
possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors
make it more difficult for rescuers to get into the vehicle in an emergency -
hazard!
Note
The anti-theft alarm system* is also activated with the deactivated safe securing
system when locking the vehicle. The interior monitor* is however not activated.
Unlocking the vehicle using the key– Turn the key in the locking cylinder of the driver's door in the direction of travel
(unlock position) fig. 25 .
– Pull on the door handle and open the door.
All the doors (only the driver's door on ve hicles with anti-theft alarm system) and
the fuel filler flap* are unlocked.

The boot lid is then unlocked.

The switched on interior lights come on over the door contact.

The safe securing system is deactivated.

The windows open provided the key is held* in the unlock position. On vehicles
fitted with anti-theft alarm system the window operation is only possible 45 seconds
after deactivation of the warning system.

The indicator light in the driver's door stops flashing if the vehicle is not fitted with
an anti-theft alarm system* page 45.Note
If the vehicle is equipped with an anti-theft alarm system*, you must insert the key into
the ignition lock and switch the ignition on within 15 seconds after unlocking the door
in order to deactivate the anti-theft alarm system. The alarm will be triggered if you
do not switch on the ignition within 15 seconds.

Switching on the low beam and main beam– Turn the light switch into position
.
– Push the main beam lever slightly forward in the spring-tensioned position in order to switch on the main beam page 59, fig. 43.
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 automatica lly and only the side lights come on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering the position of certain switches differs
from that shown in fig. 37 . 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 lenses 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 lightsSwitching on daylight driving lights– Switch on the ignition without turning the light switch out of the position 0.

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
Assistants in the main menu of the information display* page 24.
WARNING
If the cornering ligh 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.Coming Home FunctionThe function makes it possible to switch on the lights in the darkness for a short time
