CAUTION
■
Do not use objects which might prevent direct contact between the hand and
the grip 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 232.

The panoramic sliding/tilting roof (abbreviated in the following as 'sliding/tilting
roof') can only be operated when the ignition is turned on and when the outdoor temperature is higher than -20 °C.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after switchingthe ignition off. However, as soon as the driver or front passenger's door is
opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
CAUTION
■ Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.■If, for example, the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possi-
ble that the sliding/tilting roof does not operate correctly. Next, move the rotary
switch into position A
» Fig. 23 on page 45 , pull the recess firmly downwards
and hold forwards firmly. The sliding/tilting roof opens and closes again after
around 10 seconds. Do not release the control dial until it has done so.

Unless otherwise stated, the lights only work when the ignition is switched on.
On models fitted with right-hand steering, the position of some of the controls
differs from that shown in » Fig. 25 on page 47. The symbols which mark the po-
sitions of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 191 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
WARNING (Continued)■ The automatic driving lamp control  only operates as a support and does
not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if necessa-
ry, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions. The light
sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these conditions we
recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by other
oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is dark or
if visibility is poor.
Note
■ The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist has noinfluence on the life of the lighting system.■
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
