Doors
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the
vehicle, they could:
Ropen the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
Rget out and disrupt traffic.
Roperate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehi-
cle in motion if, for example, they:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshift the automatic transmission out of
park position P or shift manual trans-
mission into neutral.
Rstart the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children or animals unattended
in the vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey
out of reach of children.
Preferably stow luggage or loads in the lug-
gage compartment. Observe the loading
guidelines (
Ypage 142).
Unlocking and opening doors from the
inside
XPull door handle 0043.
The door opens. You can open a door from inside the vehicle
even if it has been locked.
XPull door handle
0043.
The door unlocks and opens.
If the vehicle has previously been locked with
the key, opening a door from the inside will
trigger the anti-theft alarm system. Switch
off the alarm (
Ypage 47).
Centrally locking or unlocking the
vehicle from the inside
You can centrally lock or unlock the vehicle
from the inside. This can be useful if you wish
to lock the vehicle before pulling away, for
example.
XTo lock: when the vehicle is unlocked, press
button 0043.
The vehicle locks when all the doors and the tailgate are closed. Indicator lamp 0044
lights up.
XTo lock the vehicle from the inside when
exiting the vehicle: remove the SmartKey
from the ignition lock.
XOpen the driver's door.
The front-passenger door and the tailgate
must be closed.
XPress the locking button (Ypage 54).
XClose the driver's door within 5 seconds.
Do not leave the key in the vehicle. You
could otherwise lock yourself out.
The doors, tailgate and fuel filler flap are
locked. The anti-theft alarm system is
primed.

specific and may deviate from the values in

Checking the tire pressures
Important safety notes
Observe the notes on tire pressure
(Ypage 180).
Information on air pressure for the tires on
your vehicle can be found:
Ron the vehicle's Tire and Loading Informa- tion placard on the B-pillar
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler
flap (Ypage 98)
Rin the "Tire pressure" section
Checking tire pressures manually
To determine and set the correct tire pres-
sure, proceed as follows:
XRemove the valve cap of the tire that is to bechecked.
XPress the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
XRead the tire pressure and compare it with
the recommended value on the Tire and
Loading Information placard (
Ypage 180).
XIf the tire pressure is too low increase the
tire pressure to the recommended value.
XIf the tire pressure is too high, release
air. To do this, press down the metal pin in
the valve using the tip of a pen, for exam-
ple. Then check the tire pressure again
using the tire pressure checker.
XScrew the valve cap onto the valve.
XRepeat these steps for the other tires.
Tire pressure monitor
General notes
iThis function is only available in the
USA.
If a tire pressure monitor is installed, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors that monitor
the tire pressures in all four tires. The tire
pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tires. The tire pressure monitor only functions if the cor-
responding sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provi-
ded), should be checked at least once every
two weeks when cold and inflated to the
pressure recommended by the vehicle man- ufacturer on the Tire and Loading Informa-
tion placard on the driver's door B-pillar
or the tire pressure label on the inside of
the fuel filler flap. If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the Tire and Loading Information
placard or, if available, the tire pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire
pressure for those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure moni-
toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tire pressure telltale when one or more of
your tires are significantly underinflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale lights up, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driv-
ing on a significantly underinflated tire
causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel effi-
ciency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle's handling and stopping abil-
ity. Please note that the TPMS is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it
is the driver's responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure, even if underinfla-
tion has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is com-
bined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
