First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings on page 10.
The instrument cluster can have one of the following types of display » Fig. 4.
Segment display, indicated in the text with the 
symbol
MAXI DOT display, indicated in the text with the 
symbol
CAUTION
Pull out the ignition key if coming in contact with the display (e.g. when cleaning)
to prevent any possible damage. On vehicles with the KESSY system, switch off
the ignition and open the driver's door.
Fuel gauge
Fig. 5
Fuel gaugeFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 10.
The fuel gauge » Fig. 5 only operates if the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of about 60 litres. The indicator light in the instru- ment cluster lights up when the pointer reaches the reserve mark-ing  » page 20 .
CAUTION
Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring. This can result in considerable damage to parts of the engine
and the exhaust system.
Note
After filling up, it can occur that during dynamic driving (e.g. numerous curves,
braking, driving downhill and climbing a steep hill) the fuel gauge indicates ap-
prox. a fraction less. When stopping or during less dynamic driving, the fuel gauge displays the correct fuel level again. This is not a fault.

12Using the system

If the vehicle is locked via the sensor 1, it will not be possible to unlock it again
in the following 2 seconds via the sensor 2 - prevents accidental unlocking.
The KESSY system can find the valid key, even if it was left in the front of the ve-
hicle's roof for example D
» Fig. 14 . It is therefore not always necessary to know
where the key is.
Always check to see whether the vehicle is locked. Further information about the KESSY system » page 37.
CAUTION
■
Do not use objects which might prevent direct contact between the hand and
the sensor.■
Some types of gloves can impair the function of the grip sensor.
■
After leaving the vehicle, it does not lock automatically, the procedure for lock-
ing the vehicle must therefore be observed.
■
If the battery in the key is weak or discharged, the vehicle may not be unlocked
or locked via the KESSY system. In this case, use the emergency unlocking or
emergency locking on the driver's door » page 240.

Safe securing system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 32.
The door locks are blocked automatically if the vehicle is locked from the outside.
Afterwards, it is not possible to open the doors with the door handle either from
the inside or from the outside.
This fact is pointed out by the following message on the display of the instrument
cluster after switching out the ignition.
Observe SAFE locking! Log book!
CHECK SAFELOCK
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door can
be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
Switching off
The safelock can be switched off by locking twice within 2 seconds.
Switching on
The safelock switches on automatically the next time the vehicle is locked and
unlocked.
Switch-on display
The indicator light flashes for around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
Switch-off display
The indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out
and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system is activated, there must not
be any person in the car as it is then not possible to open either a door or a window from the inside. The locked doors make it more difficult for rescuers
to get into the vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Note
This function only applies to certain countries.
Individual settings
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 32.
The following central locking functions can be set via the MAXI DOT dis-
play » page 29 , Settings .
Opening a single door
This function makes it possible to only unlock the driver's door. The other doors,
the fuel filler flap and the boot lid remain locked and are only unlocked after be- ing opened again.
Unlocking doors on one side of a vehicle This function enables you to unlock both doors on the driver's side. The otherdoors, the fuel filler flap and the boot lid remain locked and are only unlocked af-
ter being opened again.
Unlocking the vehicle with the KESSY system
This function enables you to unlock all the doors, individual doors, both doors on the left or right vehicle side. The other doors, the fuel filler flap and the boot lid
remain locked and are only unlocked after being opened again. 
35Unlocking and opening

In certain accident situations, the several airbags may be deployed simultaneous-
ly.
The airbags are not deployed in the case of minor frontal and side collisions, rear-
end collisions, tilting of the vehicle and vehicle rollover.
Deployment factors
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to the airbag system in every situation. An important role is played by factors such as the type of object that the vehicle hits (hard/soft), the impact angle, vehicle
speed etc.
A decisive factor for the deployment of the airbags is the deceleration which oc- curs. The control unit analyses the nature of the collision and activates the rele-
vant restraint system.
If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the collision re-
mains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit, the air-
bags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe damage to thebodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal collision.
› Driver’s front airbag.
› Front passenger airbag.
› Driver’s knee airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.
› Front side airbag on the side of the accident.
› Rear side airbag on the side of the accident.
› Head airbags on the side of the accident.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed:
› the interior lighting comes on (if the switch for the interior light is in the door
contact position),
› the hazard warning light is switched on;
› all the doors are unlocked;
› the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.

The correct grades of fuel for your vehicle are stated on a sticker affixed to the

WARNINGThe national legal requirements must be observed if carrying a spare canister
in the vehicle. We do not recommend carrying any fuel canisters in your vehi-
cle for safety reasons. in the event of an accident, these canisters can become damaged and fuel may escape – risk of fire!
CAUTION
■ Never drive until the fuel tank is completely empty! The irregular supply of fuel
can cause misfiring, which can result in considerable damage to parts of the en-
gine and the exhaust system.■
Immediately remove any fuel that has spilled onto the vehicle's paintwork – risk
of paint damage!
■
If the vehicle was not purchased in the country where it was intended to be op-
erated, you should check whether the fuel specified by the manufacturer is of-
fered in the country where the vehicle will be operated. You should also perhaps
check whether the manufacturer has recommended a different fuel for operation
of the vehicle in the corresponding country. Is this not the case, then you must
check whether it is permitted by the manufacturer to operate the vehicle with an-
other fuel type.
