HomeLink Ÿ Ÿ *
03
* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.137 General
HomeLink Ÿ is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink
Ÿ is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink
Ÿ panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLink Ÿ is designed not to work if the car
is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when switching to
another car).
Delete the button programming when the
car is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in
cars fitted with HomeLink
Ÿ. This may have
an adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLink Ÿ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLink Ÿ
will work for 30 minutes after the driver's
door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLink Ÿ.
WARNING
If HomeLink Ÿ is used to operate a garage
door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the
vicinity of the door or gate while it is in
motion.
Do not use the HomeLink
Ÿ remote control
for any garage door that does not have
safety stop and safety reverse. The garage
door must react immediately when it
detects that something is preventing its
movement, and stop directly and reverse. A
garage door without these characteristics
could cause personal injury. For further
information - contact the supplier via the
Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first timeThe first step erases the memory in
HomeLink Ÿ and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink
Ÿ is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink
Ÿ. Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.

Speed limiter*
04
174* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
–Depress the accelerator pedal fully.
> The display shows the stored maximum
speed in brackets (5) and the driver can
temporarily exceed the set maximum
speed.
The speed limiter is automatically re-
activated after the release of the accel-
erator pedal and the car's speed is
slowed down to below the selected/
stored maximum speed - the display's
brackets disappear and the car's maxi-
mum speed is again limited.
Alarm for speed exceededOn steep roads the engine braking effect may
be inadequate and the selected maximum
speed exceeded. The driver is alerted about
this with an acoustic signal.
The signal is active until the driver has slowed
to below the selected maximum speed.
NOTE
The alarm is only activated after 5 seconds
if the speed has been exceeded by at least
3 km/h provided that none of the buttons
or has been depressed during the last
half minute.
DeactivateTo deactivate the speed limiter:–
Press the steering wheel button
.
> The display's symbol for the speed lim-
iter and the set speed (5) are cleared.
The selected and stored speed are thus
deleted from the memory and cannot be
resumed with the
button.
The driver can then use the accelerator
pedal to choose a speed without limita-
tion.

Driver Alert System – DAC*

200* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
Operation
Some settings are made from the centre con-
sole display screen and its menu system. For
information on how the menu system is used,
see page 144.
The current status of Driver Alert can be
checked on the trip computer display with the
thumbwheel on the left-hand stalk switch.

•Search on the centre console's display
screen with its MY CAR menu system and
locate Car settings

systems
Driver Alert and tick the box.
•No tick in the box: Function disengaged.
FunctionDriver Alert is activated when speed
exceeds 65 km/h and remains active
as long as the speed is over
60 km/h.
The display shows a level mark with 1-5 bars,
where a low number of bars indicates incon-
sistent driving style. Many bars indicates stable
driving.
If the vehicle is driven inconsistently then the
driver is alerted by an acoustic signal as well as
the text message
Driver Alert Time for a
break. The warning is repeated after a time if
driving ability does not improve.
WARNING
An alarm should be taken very seriously, as
a sleepy driver is often not aware of his/her
own condition.
In the event of an alarm or a feeling of tired-
ness; stop the car in a safe manner as soon
as possible and rest.
Studies have shown that it is equally as dan-
gerous to drive while tired as it is under the
influence of alcohol.
