Tilt alarm sensor
The tilt of the vehicle is monitored. The alarm
system reacts, e.g. in case of an attempted
wheel theft or towing.
Interior motion sensor
In order for the interior motion sensor to func-
tion properly, the windows and glass sunroof
must be completely closed.
Avoiding unintentional alarms
The tilt alarm sensor and interior motion sensor
may be switched off at the same time. This pre-
vents unintentional alarms, e.g. in the following
situations:
>In duplex garages
>During transport on car-carrying trains,
boats/ships or on a trailer
>When animals are to remain in the vehicle
Switching off tilt alarm sensor and
interior motion sensor
Press the button on the remote control
again as soon as the vehicle is locked.
The indicator lamp lights up briefly and then
flashes continuously. The tilt alarm sensor and
the interior motion sensor are switched off until
the next time the vehicle is unlocked and subse-
quently locked again.
Comfort Access*
With Comfort Access, you can have access to
your vehicle without having to hold the remote
control in your hand. It is sufficient to carry the
remote control on your person, e.g. in a jacket
pocket. The vehicle automatically detects the
associated remote control inside the vehicle or
in its immediate vicinity.
Comfort Access supports the following func-
tions:
>Locking/unlocking the vehicle
>Unlocking the luggage compartment lid
separately
>Starting the engine
Functional requirements
>The vehicle can only be locked if the remote
control is outside the vehicle.
>The next unlocking and locking cycle is not
possible until after approx. 2 seconds.
>The engine can only be started if the remote
control is inside the vehicle.
Comparison to conventional remote
control
You can control the functions mentioned previ-
ously with the Comfort Access or by pressing
the buttons on the remote control. Therefore
please first familiarize yourself with the instruc-
tions for opening and closing, starting on
page32.
The specific features involved in the use of
Comfort Access are described below.
If a short delay occurs when opening or
closing the windows and the glass sun-
roof, then this indicates that the system is
checking whether a remote control is located in
the vehicle. Please repeat opening or closing if
necessary.<
Unlocking
Pull a door handle. This corresponds to press-
ing the button.
Only the door of the door handle you have
pulled is unlocked.
You unlock the other doors from the inside,
using the central locking system button, refer to
page34.<
Locking
Push a door handle. This corresponds to press-
ing the button.
Before locking, make sure that the igni-
tion and all current-consuming devices
are switched off in order to minimized the drain
on the battery.<
If a remote control is detected in the inte-
rior, the vehicle is unlocked again or not
locked in the first place.<

Parking lamps
In switch position1, the front, rear and side
vehicle lighting is switched on. You can use the
parking lamps for parking.
The parking lamps drain the battery. Do
not leave them switched on for long peri-
ods of time; otherwise, it may no longer be pos-
sible to start the engine. It is preferable to
switch on the left-hand or right-hand roadside
parking lamps, refer to page101.<
Low beams
The low beams light up when the light switch is
in position 2 and the ignition is on.
If the light switch remains in position 2, the
exterior lamps are switched off automatically
when the driver's door is opened while the igni-
tion is off.
Switch on the parking lamps if required as
described under Parking lamps.
Automatic headlamp control
In the switch position3, the system activates
the low beams and switches them on or off in
response to changes in ambient light condi-
tions, for example in a tunnel, at dawn and dusk,
and in case of precipitation. The LED next to the
symbol is illuminated when the low beams are
on.
When driving into tunnels with bright overhead
lights, there may be a delay before the head-
lamps come on.
The low beams may be switched on when the
sun is low on the horizon in a clear sky.
The low beams remain switched on
regardless of the ambient light when you
switch on the front fog lamps.
When daytime running lamps are activated, the
low beams are always switched into switch
position3 whenever the ignition is switched
on.<
If so desired, the light switch can be left in the
position3. The exterior lamps are automatically
switched off after the vehicle is parked.
The automatic headlamp control cannot
serve as a substitute for your personal
judgment in determining when the lamps
should be switched on in response to ambient
lighting conditions. For example, the sensors
cannot detect fog or hazy weather. To avoid
safety risks, you should always switch on the
lamps manually under these conditions.<
Pathway lighting
After parking the vehicle and switching off the
headlamps, you can use the headlamp flasher
control to activate the low beams for a period of
roughly 40 seconds.
Pressing the button on the remote control,
refer to page33, also switches on the low
beams for approx. 40 seconds. In addition, the
door handle and interior lamps are switched on
for approx. 10 seconds.

A congenial climate
For almost all conditions, the AUTO program1
offers the optimal air distribution and air vol-
ume. Select an interior temperature that you
find pleasant.
The following section contains more detailed
information on the available setting options.
The settings are stored for the remote key cur-
rently in use.
AUTO program
The AUTO program handles the
adjustment of air distribution to the
windshield and side windows, in
the direction of the upper body, and in the foot-
well, as well as the adjustment of the air volume. It also adapts your instructions for the tempera-
ture to outside influences throughout the year.
The cooling is switched on automatically with
the AUTO program. At the same time, a con-
densation sensor controls the program so as to
prevent window condensation as much as pos-
sible.
Intensity of AUTO program
You can adjust the intensity of the AUTO pro-
gram by repeatedly pressing the AUTO button.
If you briefly press the button, the current set-
ting is displayed in the lower status line of the
Control Display.

Maximum cooling
Maximally cooled air is obtained as
quickly as possible at an outside
temperature of approx. 327/06
and with the engine running.
The automatic climate control
changes over to the lowest temperature and
switches into the recirculated-air mode. The
maximum air quantity only flows out of the vents
for the upper body, so open these vents for
maximum cooling.
Air volume
You can vary the air volume by
turning. You can reactivate the
automatic air supply mode by
pressing the AUTO button.
Manual air distribution
You can adapt the air distribution to your own
personal preferences:
1.Open the start menu.
2.Open "Climate".
3.Turn the controller to select driver's side or
passenger side.4.Select the desired field and press the con-
troller.

side windows
2Air to the upper body
3Air to footwell
You can only use the condensation sensor in
the AUTO program. Press the AUTO button
when you notice condensation on windows and
wish to take advantage of the condensation
sensor.
Defrosting windows and removing
condensation
Quickly remove ice and condensa-
tion from the windshield and front
side windows.
Residual heat
The system uses the warmth
stored in the engine to heat the
interior when the ignition is off, e.g.
while the vehicle is stopped at a
railroad crossing.
The function can be switched on when the fol-
lowing conditions are met:
>up to 15 minutes after switching off the
engine
>with the engine at operating temperature
>with sufficient battery voltage
>at an outside temperature below 777/
256
The LED lights up when the function is
switched on.

lighter socket can be used to plug in hand flash-
lights, car vacuum cleaners, etc. with power rat-
ings of up to approx. 200 W at 12 V. Avoid dam-
aging the socket by inserting plugs that are the
wrong shape or size.
