Your car is equipped with a central locking system.
The central locking system allows you to lock and unlock all doors, the fuel filler
flap 1)
and tailgate 2)
at the same time.
The safe securing system » page 35 is integrated in the central locking system.
Once the car is locked from the outside, the door locks 3)
are automatically blocked
by the safe securing system »
.
The following is true after unlocking 2)
.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap 1)
are unlocked.
› The interior light operated via the door contact illuminates.
› The safe securing system is switched off 3)
.
› The indicator light in the driver door stops flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated.
The following is true after locking 2)
.
› The doors, the boot lid and the fuel filler flap 1)
are locked.
› The interior light operated via the door contact goes out.
› The safe securing system is switched on 3)
.
› The indicator light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
Displaying an error
If the warning light in the driver's door initially flashes quickly for around 2 sec-
onds, and then lights up for 30 seconds without interruption before flashing
again slowly, you will need to seek the assistance of a specialist garage.WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must re-
main in the car as it will then not be possible to either unlock a door or open 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
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked doors
are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to the vehi- cle.■
Only the driver's door can be unlocked or locked using the key if the central
locking system fails » page 33. The other doors and the boot lid can be emer-
gency locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 232.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 233.

Headlight cleaning system
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 56.
After the ignition is switched on, the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
5
» Fig. 36 on page 57),
when the low beam or main beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight len-
ses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guidelines
must be observed » page 191, Headlight lenses .
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – risk of
damage!
Rear mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
59
Exterior mirrors
59WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, mist or other objects.■Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of vi-
sion. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These mir-
rors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the following
vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
■
The illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to operation-
al faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
WARNING■ Automatic dimming mirrors contain an electrolytic fluid which may leak
should the mirror glass break.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath apparatus.
Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not possible, at
least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immediately
wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. Then con- sult a doctor immediately.

If automatic dimming is activated, the mirror dims automatically depending on
the light striking the sensor.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mir- ror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Note
■ If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror dim-
ming is also switched off.■
Do not attach external navigation devices on to the windscreen or in the vicinity
of the automatic dimming interior mirror » page 58, in section Introduction .
■
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the light striking the sensor
is not affected by other objects.

Recirculation
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 91.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle from getting into
the vehicle, e.g. when driving through a tunnel or in a traffic jam.
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of the vehicle and thenfed back into the interior.
Heating and air conditioning (manual air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on or off, press the Symbol key 
.
The air recirculation mode is automatically turned off by turning the air distribu-
tion control
C
to position 
» Fig. 93 on page 94 or » Fig. 94 on page 94 .
Recirculated air mode can be switched on again from this position by repeatedly
pressing the symbol button 
.
Climatronic (automatic air conditioning)
To turn the recirculation mode on, press the Symbol key
 repeatedly until the
indicator light is lit on the left side of the button.
To activate the automatic recirculation mode, press the Symbol key
 repeat-
edly until the indicator light is lit on the right side of the button.
Climatronic has an air quality sensor for the detection of the pollutant concentra-
tion in the sucked-in air.
If a considerable increase in concentration of pollutants is recognised by the air
quality sensor, recirculated air mode will temporarily be switched on.
If the concentration of pollutants decreases to the normal level, the air distribu-tion control is automatically switched off so that fresh air can be guided into the
vehicle interior.
If the air quality sensor does not automatically switch on the recirculated air
mode in the event of an unpleasant odour, you can switch it on yourself by press-
ing the button . The indicator light lights up in the button on the left side.
To
turn off the air recirculation or to deactivate the automatic air recirculations ,
press the  button of press the  symbol button repeatedly until the warning
lights in the button go out.WARNINGNever leave recirculated air mode switched on over a longer period of time, as
“stale air” can cause driver and passenger fatigue, reduce attention levels and
also cause the windows to mist up. The risk of having an accident increases.
Switch off recirculated air mode as soon as the windows start to mist up.
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the evap-orator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the air con-
ditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through considerable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
Note
The automatic air distribution control operates only if the outside temperature is
higher than approx. 2 °C.
