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 disrupted by interference from transmit-
ters near the vehicle that use the same frequency range (such as radio equipment or cellular 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 or the power locking buttons 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 rear hatch is
opened in this span of time, the vehicle is automatically locked afterwards.

Button in the glove compartment
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) SET button (3) is also located in the glove
compartment.
WARNING
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden
braking or driving maneuvers or in a crash.
x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.
NOTICE
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the
glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through
these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and
damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason.
Depending on options, a factory-installed Media Device Interface (MDI)/(MEDIA-IN) may be
located in the glove compartment ⇒ Booklet Radio, or ⇒ Booklet Navigation system.
Applicable only in Canada

Temperature shutoff
The inverter in the 115 Volt socket shuts off automatically above a certain temperature. The shutoff
prevents overheating in case of excessive power consumption of connected devices or at high
ambient air temperatures. The inverter switches back on automatically after a cool-down period.
Connected devices which were left switched on come back on again. For this reason, switch off
connected electrical devices if the inverter switches off due to overheating.
DANGER
High voltage in the electrical system!
x Never spill liquids on the socket. Improper use of a volt socket can cause electrical shock,
burns, and other serious personal injuries.
x Do not connect adapters or extension cords to the 115 Volt socket. Otherwise, the
integrated child-proof lock is switched off and the socket is live.
x Do not stick objects, such as knitting needles, into the contacts of the 115 Volt socket.
NOTICE
x Follow the manufacturer's instructions for connected devices!
x Never exceed the maximum power consumption, or the entire vehicle electrical system may
be damaged.
x 12 Volt socket:
– Only use equipment that has been tested for electromagnetic compatibility and complies
with applicable guidelines.
– Never feed current into the socket, with a solar panel, for example.
x 115 Volt socket:
– Do not connect devices or plugs which are too heavy, such as a grid power supply adapter or
cord, directly onto the socket.
– Do not connect lamps containing neon tubes.
– Only connect devices to the socket whose voltage is consistent with the voltage of the socket.
– For devices with a high starting current, the integrated over-current shutoff will prevent them
from being switched on.
Some devices may not work very well when connected to the 115 Volt socket due to low wattage.
Unshielded devices may interfere with radio reception or the vehicle's electrical system.

x Accessories and other things installed in front of the cooling air intakes impair the
efficiency of the engine coolant. The engine can overheat under high outside temperatures or
under high engine loads!
Leaking operating fluids can pollute the environment. Collect leaking operating fluids in suitable
containers and dispose of them properly in accordance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations.
