Risk of accident
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could:
R open a door from the inside at any time,
even if it has been locked
R start the vehicle using a key which has been
left in the vehicle
R release the parking brake
They could thereby endanger themselves and
others. Never leave children unsupervised in

Battery check lamp
; & To lock the vehicle
= F To unlock the boot lid
? % To unlock the vehicle
When unlocking, the turn signals flash once.
When locking, they flash three times.
When it is dark, the surround lighting also
comes on if it is activated in COMAND.
If you do not open either a door or the boot
lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will automatically relock after approximately 40
seconds.
KEYLESS GO* You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS GO. To do this, you only need carry
the key with you. When you touch the surface
of the sensors on the vehicle's door handles,
KEYLESS GO establishes a radio connection
between the vehicle and the key.
The distance to the vehicle's door handle
from which you wish to lock or unlock the
vehicle must not be greater than 1 m.
When starting the engine and whilst driving,
KEYLESS GO also checks whether a valid key
is in the vehicle by periodically establishing
radio contact. X

dle.
X To lock the vehicle: touch sensor sur-
face :.
If you pull on the handle of the boot lid, only

and switch on the ignition once to reacti-
vate the sensors. 178

Points to remember
G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel can
be adjusted when the key is removed from the
ignition lock. Therefore, do not leave children
unsupervised in the vehicle as they could
become trapped as the steering wheel is
adjusted. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism is
locked in position. Otherwise, you might drive
without the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism being locked in position and be distrac-
ted from road and traffic conditions by an
unexpected movement of the steering wheel
and cause an accident.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is not
affected.
When you adjust the steering wheel, make
sure that:
R the steering wheel can be reached with
your arms slightly bent
R you can move your legs freely
R you can see all the displays in the instru-
ment cluster clearly Steering wheel
