WARNING
•
No objects that add to the total weight
on the seat should be placed on the
front passenger's seat. If a child is
seated in the front passenger's seat
with any additional weight, this extra
weight could cause the OWS system to
enable the airbag, which might cause it
to deploy in the event of a collision,
thereby injuring the child.
•
The seat belt should never be wrapped
around an object on the front passeng-
er's seat. This could interfere with the
OWS system's function.
•
The front passenger's seat belt should
never be used in a way that exerts more
pressure on the passenger than normal.
This could increase the pressure exer-
ted on the weight sensor by a child, and
could result in the airbag being enabled,
which might cause it to deploy in the
event of a collision, thereby injuring the
child.
WARNING
•
Keep the following points in mind with
respect to the OWS system. Failure to
follow these instructions could
adversely affect the system's function
and result in serious injury to the occu-
pant of the front passenger's seat:
•
The full weight of the front seat passen-
ger should always be on the seat cush-
ion. The passenger should never lift
him/herself off the seat cushion using
the armrest in the door or the center
console, by pressing the feet on the
floor, by sitting on the edge of the seat
cushion, or by pressing against the
backrest in a way that reduces pressure
on the seat cushion. This could cause
OWS to disable the front, passenger's
side airbag.

light beams adjust laterally to help light up a
curve according to movements of the steering
wheel (see the right-pointing beam in the illus-
tration).This function is activated automatically when

Headlight control in position for parking lightsThe front and rear parking lights can be turned
on even when the ignition is switched off.Turn the headlight control to the center posi-
tion (the license plate lighting comes on at the
same time).
The lighting also comes on when the trunk is
opened in order to alert anyone traveling
behind your vehicle.
Brake lightsThe brake lights come on automatically when
the brakes are applied.Emergency brake lights (EBL)Emergency Brake Lights, EBL, activate in the
event of sudden braking or if the ABS system
is activated. This function causes an additional
taillight on each side of the vehicle to illuminate
to help alert vehicles traveling behind.
The EBL function activates if:•
The ABS system activates for more than
approximately a half second
•
In the event of sudden braking while the
vehicle is moving at speeds above approx-
imately 6 mph (10 km/h)
When the vehicle has come to a stop, the brake
lights and additional taillights remain on for as
long as the brake pedal is depressed or until
braking force on the vehicle is reduced.

03 Your driving environmentTransmission

NOTE
On models equipped with Sport mode, the
transmission will not switch to manual shift-
ing mode until the gear selector is moved
forward or rearward. The selected gear will
then be shown in the information display
(see page 71).•
To return to the D position from M or S,
move the gear selector to the left.
While driving•
If you select the M position while driving,
the gear that was being used in the Drive
position will also initially be selected in the
M position.
•
Move the gear selector forward (toward
"+") to shift to a higher gear or rearward
(toward "–") to shift to a lower gear.
•
If you hold the gear selector toward "–", the
transmission will downshift one gear at a
time and will utilize the braking power of
the engine. If the current speed is too high
for using a lower gear, the downshift will
not occur until the speed has decreased
enough to allow the lower gear to be used.
•
If you slow to a very low speed, the trans-
mission will automatically shift down.
Shiftlock – Neutral (N)If the gear selector is in the N position and the
vehicle has been stationary for at least 3 sec-
onds (irrespective of whether the engine is run-
ning) then the gear selector is locked.
To be able to move the gear selector from N to
another gear position, the brake pedal must be
depressed and the ignition must be in posi-
tionII, see page 78.Geartronic–starting on slippery surfacesSelecting 3rd gear in Geartronic’s manual shift-
ing mode can help provide better traction when
starting off on slippery surfaces. To do so:
1. Depress the brake pedal and move the
gear selector to the right from the D posi-
tion to M. The text in the instrument panel
display will change from
D to
1.
2. Press the gear selector forward and
release it (this selects 2nd gear). Press the
selector forward again and release it to
select 3rd gear.
3. Release the brake pedal and press gently
on the accelerator pedal.

Lift away the rubber mat on the floor of the
storage compartment behind the center
console and open the hatch.Insert the key blade into the opening as far
as possible. Press the key blade down and
keep it held down. Move the gear selector
from the P position. For information on the
key blade, see page 50.

Audio system
04``131 Introduction
The audio system is available in two versions:
High Performance och Premium Sound. The
system version is shown in the display when
the audio system is switched on.
If the audio system is on when the ignition is
switched off, it will come on automatically the
next time the ignition is put in mode I or higher.
The audio system can be operated without a
key in the ignition slot for 15 minutes at a time
by pressing the POWER button (the driver's
door must be closed on vehicles with the
optional keyless drive).
Some functions are controlled from the menu
system in the center console. For more infor-
mation on menus, see page 120.

USB/iPod connector (option)An auxiliary device, such as an iPod, MP3
player or a USB flash drive can be connected
to the audio system via the connector in the
center console storage compartment. A stand-
ard cable from an iPod or MP3 player can be
routed under the cover to the AUX connector
in the storage compartment.
A sound source must be chosen, depending on
the device that has been connected:
1.
UseMODE to select
iPod
or
USB
. The text
CONNECT DEVICE
will be displayed.
2. Connect the device to the connector in the
center console storage compartment (see
the illustration).
The text
LOADING
will be displayed while the
system loads the files (folder structure) on the
device. This may take a short time.
When information about the files (the folder
structure) on the device has been loaded, the
resulting list includes information on the artist,
genre and song title.
To navigate in the folder structure, press
ENTER and scroll up and down the folders
using the arrow buttons (on the audio system
control panel or on the steering wheel keypad).
Press the right arrow button to select a folder.
Press the left arrow button to go up a level inthe folder structure. Press ENTER to go down
a level in the folder structure.
Tracks can be selected in two ways:
•
Turn the Tuning knob clockwise or coun-
terclockwise
•
Use the right or left arrow keys on the nav-
igation control to select the desired track.
The arrow keys on the steering wheel key-
pad can also be used in the same way.NOTE
The system supports playback of files in the
most common versions of formats such as
mp3, wma, and wav. However, there may be
versions of these formats that the system
does not support.USB flash driveTo simplify the use of a USB flash drive, it is
advisable to only store music files on the drive.
It will take considerably longer for the system
to index the files on the drive if it contains any-
thing other than compatible music files.MP3 playerMany mp3 players have a file indexing system
that is not supported by the vehicle's audio
system. In order to use an mp3 player, the sys-
tem must be set to USB Removable device/
Mass Storage Device.
iPodAn iPod receives current and its battery is
charged through the connecting cord. How-
ever, if the iPod's battery is completely
drained, it should be recharged before the iPod
is connected to the audio system.
NOTE
When an iPOD is used as a sound source,
the vehicle's audio system has a menu
structure similar to the one in the iPOD. See
the iPOD's manual for detailed information.For further information, refer to the accessory
manual USB/iPod Music Interface.Rear control panel with headphones
socket (option)Headphones with an impedance of
16 – 32 ohm and sensitivity of 102 dB or higher
are recommended for best sound reproduc-
tion.
