G
Warning
Never switch off ASR when you see the
0067 warning lamp
flashing in the instrument
cluster. In this case proceed as follows:
R when driving off, apply as little throttle as
possible.
R while driving, ease off the accelerator
pedal.
R adapt your speed and driving style to the
prevailing road conditions.
Failure to observe these guidelines could
cause the vehicle to skid. ESP ®
cannot
prevent accidents resulting from excessive
speed.
If, taking tires, cargo load and gradient into
consideration, the surface driven on still
provides insufficient traction, you may
experience difficulties in pulling away despite
ASR.
Vehicles without steering-wheel buttons:
the 003D indicator lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when you switch on the
ignition. It goes out when the engine is
running.
Activating/deactivating ASR G
Warning
ASR should
not be switched off during normal
driving other than in the circumstances
described below. Deactivating

the system will
reduce vehicle stability in driving maneuvers.
Do not switch off ASR when a spare wheel is
mounted.
ASR is activated automatically when the
engine is running.
It may be best to deactivate ASR briefly in the
following situations:
R when using snow chains
R in deep snow
R on sand or gravel If you deactivate ASR:
R
the engine's torque

is no longer limited and
the drive wheels can spin. The spinning of
the wheels results in a cutting action, which
provides better grip.
R brake intervention will continue to improve
traction where a drive wheel begins to spin,
e.g. if only the side of the road is slippery.
The wheel will be braked to increase
traction under such circumstances.
R active brake intervention by ESP ®
to
increase driving stability remains active. G
Warning
Even with ASR deactivated, ESP ®
remains
active and continues to perform brake
interventions where this is necessary to
improve driving stability. The 0067 warning
lamp flashes.
With ASR deactivated, there is an increased
risk of your vehicle's brake system
overheating and suffering damage due to
prolonged application. A

hot brake system will
also result in increased stopping distance.
Therefore, only deactivate ASR when
absolutely necessary. X
Press button 0046
.
When ASR is

deactivated, the 0067 warning
lamp in the instrument cluster lights up. Driving safety systems

ignition lock.
or
X Press the 0036 button on the remote
control.
The alarm is switched off. Tow-away alarm
A visual and audible alarm is triggered if the
inclination of the vehicle changes when tow-
away protection is armed.
i The alarm signal

is triggered, for example
if the vehicle is being jacked up on one side,
shortly before the wheel leaves the ground.
Tow-away protection is automatically armed
approximately 20 seconds after you lock the
vehicle.
Tow-away protection is automatically
deactivated when you unlock the vehicle.
Deactivate tow-away protection if the vehicle
is being transported or loaded onto another
vehicle. This will prevent a false alarm. X
To deactivate when transporting the
vehicle: turn the key to position 0 or 1 in
the ignition lock or remove the key.
X Press button 0046.
Indicator lamp 0047 lights up for
approximately five seconds after the
button is released.
X Lock the vehicle with the key.
Tow-away protection remains deactivated
until you lock the vehicle again. Interior motion sensor
If the anti-theft

alarm system is armed and the
vehicle is locked, a visual and audible alarm
is triggered if one of the side windows or the
rear window on your vehicle is smashed and
someone reaches into the interior, for
example.
i If the interior motion sensor is armed and
the auxiliary heating system (Y page 104)
switches on, a false alarm may occur as a
result of interior temperature monitoring.
In this case, switch off either the interior
motion sensor or the auxiliary heating.
Arming the interior motion sensor X
Close the side windows.
This will prevent false alarms.
X Lock the vehicle.
The interior motion sensor is armed after
approximately 40 seconds.
i Do not leave anything (e.g. mascots or
coat hangers) hanging on the rear-view 62

G
Warning!
Repeatedly setting the seat heating to level
3 may result in excessive seat temperatures.

react to excessively high temperatures may
be affected or they may even suffer burn-like
injuries. Therefore, do not use seat heating
level 3 repeatedly.68

! When you leave your seat, do not place
anything on the seat and switch off the seat
heating. Do not switch the seat heating on
when the seat is not occupied, e.g. when
driving without a co-driver. The seat
heating may otherwise overheat, causing
damage to the seat.
At level 1, the seat heating remains in
continuous operation.

G
Warning
Only adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stationary. Only drive with the
steering wheel locked in position.
An incorrectly secured steering wheel could
make it more difficult to steer the vehicle
safely since the steering wheel could move
unexpectedly when turned. This could result
in you losing control of the vehicle and
causing an accident, thereby endangering
yourself and others. G
Warning
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could

become trapped if they try
to adjust the steering column. 0046
