Depending on the equipment of the
vehicle, one of the remote controls
depicted on this page will be used.
The remote control is integrated in the key.

The remote control has a range of approx.
5 metres. This range can be affected by
outside influences. Aim the remote control
at the vehicle to operate. The hazard
warning lamps flash to confirm remote
control operation.
Handle the remote control with care,
protect it from moisture and high
temperatures and avoid unnecessary
operation. Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, it may be
due to the following:
zRange exceeded.
zBattery voltage of the radio remote
control too low, change battery.
zFrequent, repeated operation of the
remote control outside the reception
range of the vehicle (e.g. too far from
vehicle, remote control is then no longer
recognised). Synchronise the remote
control.
zIf the central locking system is
overloaded as a result of repeated
operation at short intervals. The power
supply is cut off for a brief period.
zInterference from higher-power radio
waves from other sources.

Battery discharge protection
3
Some consumers such as the interior
lighting switch themselves off after approx.
30 minutes if the ignition is off in order to
protect the battery charge. Misted light covers The inside of the lamp bezels may mist
briefly when subjected to adverse wet and
cold winter conditions, strong rain or after
the vehicle is washed. The misting will clear
up on its own after a brief period. This can
be facilitated by switching on the lights.
Headlamps when driving abroad The asymmetrical dipped beam increases
the field of vision on the passenger side of
the lane.
This causes glare for oncoming traffic if the
vehicle is driven in countries where traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road.
To avoid glare, have headlamps adjusted
in a wor kshop o r have c overs fitted to both
headlamps.

Manoeuvring the vehicle
To manoeuvre the vehicle back and forth
during attempts to park or in garage
entrances the creeping movement can be
utilised by releasing the foot brake.
Never actuate accelerator and brake
pedals simultaneously.
To prevent damage, the manual
transmission automated disengages the
"creep function" at extremely high
automatic clutch temperatures. Vehicle storage
Apply the handbrake and remove the key
from the ignition. The previously selected
gear (shown on the transmission display)
remains selected. No gear is selected in
selector lever position N.
When the ignition is switched off, the
manual transmission automated no longer
responds to movement of the selector
lever.
If the ignition key is not removed, the
battery may be discharged if the vehicle is
then left to stand for a lengthy period of
time.
If the hand brake has not been applied, the
control indicator R flashes for a few
seconds after the ignition is switched off.
Picture no: 12480s.tif
Fault
To prevent damage to the automated
manual transmission, the clutch is closed
automatically at high clutch temperatures.
Control indicator A illuminates in the
event of a fault. Continued driving is
possible. Manual mode cannot be used for
shifting.
If an "F" is also shown in the transmission
display, it is not possible to continue
driving.
Have cause of fault remedied by a
workshop. The system’s integrated self
diagnostics allow faults to be quickly
remedied.

Interruption of power supply
The clutch is not disengaged if there is an
interruption of the power supply when a
gear is engaged. The vehicle cannot move.
If the battery is discharged, start the
vehicle using jump leads 3129.
If the cause is not a flat battery, contact a
workshop for assistance. If the vehicle has
to be moved out of flowing traffic,
disengage clutch as follows:
1. Apply hand brake and switch off
ignition.
2. Open bonnet and engage support.3. Clean the transmission around the cap
(see figure) so that no dirt can get into
the opening when the cap is removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove by
lifting upwards – see figure.
5. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise using
a flat-head screwdriver (vehicle tools 3
3136) until clear resistance can be felt.
The clutch has now been disengaged.
6. Fit cleaned cap again. The cap must be
in full contact with the housing.
Contact a workshop for assistance
immediately.

completely. Do not use the pedal as a foot
rest (increases clutch wear).
Caution

this can damage the manual
transmission automated.
