NOTICE
Please be careful when parking your vehicle in areas with
parking barriers or curbs. These vary in height and could dam-
age your bumper and related parts if the front of your vehicle
hits a barrier or curb that is too high while you are getting into or
out of a parking spot.
Always be careful when you enter a driveway or drive up or
down steep ramps or over curbs or other obstacles. Parts of the
vehicle close to the ground may be damaged (such as bumper
covers, spoilers, and parts of the engine, suspension, and ex-
haust systems).

2 Slight differences to these figures are possible, depending on wheel and tire size fitted and the level selected.

WARNING
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal in-
jury.
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It
can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle systems
such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury.
Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock the
doors and the luggage compartment.
Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who can-
not help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can be locked
with the remote control vehicle key. This could leave people
trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. Depending on the time
of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very
high or very low temperatures.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Particularly in the summer, heat buildup in
the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher
than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly
to small children.
Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehi-
cle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock
and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.

NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components.
Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless
you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and
conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key
when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic
alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupt-
ed by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the
same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad
weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ fig. 20 or the power
locking buttons⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are
pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is
switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded.
The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or

the luggage compartment lid is opened in this span of time, the vehi-
cle is automatically locked afterwards.
