ney).
The memory stores the values for the journey and the con-
sumption from the moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than two hours, the mem-
ory is automatically erased. If the journey is continued in
less than two hours after the ignition is switched off, the
new data is added to the data already stored in the mem-
ory.
2Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory records the values for a specific number of
partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) for 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.
On reaching either of these limits, the memory is automati-
cally erased and starts to count from 0 again.

WARNING
Careless or incorrect use of vehicle keys may result in severe injury and
accident.
xAlways take all the keys with you whenever you leave the vehicle. Chil-
dren and unauthorised individuals could lock the doors or the tailgate,
start the engine or turn the ignition on activating electrical systems, for
example: the electric windows.
xNever leave children or disabled people alone in the car. They could be
trapped in the car in an emergency and will not be able to get themselves
to safety. For example, depending on the time of the year, temperatures
inside a locked and closed vehicle can be extremely high or extremely low
resulting in serious injuries and illness or even death, particularly for
young children.
xNever remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. The
steering may lock and it will not be possible to turn the steering wheel.

Central locking and locking system
Introduction
Central locking functions correctly when all the doors and the tailgate are
correctly shut. If the driver's door is open, the vehicle cannot be locked with
the key.
The battery of a vehicle left unlocked during a long period (for instance, in a
private garage) may run down and fail to start the motor.

xTo wi ng m o d e Ÿpage 260
xEmergency locking and unlocking Ÿpage 348
WARNING
The incorrect use of the central locking system may cause serious injuries.
xThe central locking system will lock all doors. A vehicle locked from the
inside can prevent any non-authorised individual from opening the doors
and accessing the vehicle. Nevertheless, in case of emergency or accident,
locked doors will complicate access to the passenger compartment to help
the passengers.
xNever leave children or disabled people alone in the vehicle. The central
locking button can be used to lock all the doors from within. Therefore,
passengers will be locked inside the vehicle. Individuals locked in the
vehicle can be exposed to very high or very low temperatures.
xDepending on the time of the year, temperatures inside a locked and
closed vehicle can be extremely high or extremely low resulting in serious
injuries and illness or even death, particularly for young children.
xNever leave individuals locked in a closed and locked vehicle. In case of
emergency, they may not be able to exit the vehicle by themselves or get
help.

Rollback anti-trap function of the electric sliding doors
The rollback anti-trap function of the electric sliding doors can reduce the risk
of injury when opening and closing the sliding doors Ÿ.
If an object gets in the way of the sliding door while it is closing, it opens
again.
If an object gets in the way of the sliding door while it is opening, the door
stops moving.
xCheck the reason for which the sliding door does not open or close.
xTry to open or close the sliding door again.

xNobody should ever get in the way of the electric sliding doors, espe-
cially when closing without the anti-trap function.
xThe anti-trap function does not prevent fingers or other parts of the
body getting pinched against the window frame and causing injury.
Electric child safety lock
The electric child safety lock avoids opening and locking of the sliding door
and its electric windows from the inside so that children cannot accidentally
open the door while the vehicle is being driven. Using the left-hand side
Ÿfig. 55 or right-hand side button, the child safety lock is activated
on the left hand side or right-hand side respectively.

Programming the garage door remote control
Functions from up to 3 different remote controls for different products can be
transferred to the buttons on the sunshade ( for example, the electric system
for a gateway or a garage door, a house alarm or a lighting system).Before programming
xBefore programming the garage remote control, always read the instruc-
tion manual from the product manufacturer.
xAlways stop your vehicle safe distance from the system.
xWhen programming, turn on the ignition but do not start the engine.
Before programming the unit for the first time:
xPress the buttons and until the indicator above the button begins
to blink.
xRelease both buttons. This erases the factory settings. There is no need to
do this again to program the remaining buttons.
xHowever, if you hold in the buttons for more time, the factory settings will
be re-established.
Programming
xBefore programming, carry out the initial steps Ÿpage 110.
xPut your system's remote control, for example the remote to operate the
garage door, within 30 cm of the sunshade button Ÿfig. 64. If this is too far
away, you may have to repeat the procedure.
xNow, simultaneously hold in the button on your system's remote control
and the button , or until the indicator above the button blinks, first
slowly then more quickly Ÿfig. 65.
xRelease both buttons. The function from your system's remote control is
transferred to the corresponding button.
To transfer other functions to other buttons of the garage door remote control,
repeat the procedure described above with the button to be programmed.

Sockets
Introduction
Electrical equipment can be connected to the sockets in the vehicle.
Connected equipment must be in perfect condition and show no signs of
faults.
Additional information and warnings:
xCigarette lighter Ÿpage 173
xAccessories, parts replacement, repairs and modifications Ÿpage 285
WARNING
Improper use of the sockets or electrical devices could lead to a fire and
cause serious injuries.
xNever leave children unsupervised in the vehicle. The sockets and
equipment connected to them can be used when the ignition is switched
on.
xShould a connected electrical device overheat, switch it off and unplug
it immediately.
Caution
xTo avoid damage to the vehicle's electrical system, never connect equip-
ment that generates electrical current, such as solar panels or battery
chargers, to the 12 Volt sockets in order to charge the vehicle's battery.
xOnly use accessories with approved electromagnetic compatibility
according to current regulations.
xTo avoid damage due to voltage variations, switch off all appliances
connected to the 12 V sockets before switching the ignition on or off and
before starting the engine.
xNever connect an appliance to the 12 Volt socket that consumes more
than the power indicated in watts. Exceeding the maximum power absorption
could damage the vehicle's electrical system.
For the sake of the environment
Do not leave the engine running when the vehicle is at a standstill.
Note
Using electrical appliances with the engine stopped and the ignition
switched on will drain the battery.
Note
Unshielded equipment can cause interference on the radio equipment and
the vehicle's electrical system.
Note
Interference can occur on the radio's AM waveband if electrical appliances
are used near the rear window aerial.

Seats and storage compartments 176
Vehicle socketsMaximum power consumption
The maximum capacity of each socket must not be exceeded. The power
consumption is indicated on the rating plate of each appliance.
Where two or more appliances are connected at the same time, the total
rating of all the connected devices must never exceed 190 Watts Ÿ.
12 volt socket
The 12 Volt socket will only work with the ignition on.
Using electrical appliances with the engine stopped and the ignition
switched on will drain the battery. Therefore, electrical consumers connected
to the socket must only be used when the engine is running.
To prevent voltage variations from causing damage, switch off the electrical
consumer connected to the 12 Volt socket before switching the ignition on or
off and before starting the engine.
12 Volt sockets can be found in the following locations in the vehicle:
xCompartment in the centre of the centre console.
xCompartment in the front centre console.
xStorage compartment in the front central armrest.
xRear centre console Ÿfig. 126.
xAt the rear right of the luggage compartment.
230 Volt Euro socket*
The socket only works when the engine is running Ÿ.
Connecting an electrical appliance: Plug the appliance into the socket as far
as possible to unlock the built-in child safety device. The current only flows
when the child safety device is unlocked.
