■ Vehicle inclination, e.g. if it is raised,
■ Ignition.
Activation The system is activated by pressing
p on the radio remote control or by
touching the sensor field in the front
door handle.
Notice
Changes to the vehicle interior such
as the use of seat covers and open
windows, could impair the function
of passenger compartment
monitoring.Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle inclination
Switch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination, when animals are being
left in the vehicle, because of high
volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm. Switch off as well, when the vehicle is
on a ferry or train.
1. Close load compartment, bonnet and windows.
2. Press button b. The LED in button
m flashes for a maximum of
10 seconds
3. Close doors.
4. Activate the anti-theft alarm system. The LED illuminates.
After approx. 10 seconds, the
system is armed. The LED flashes until the system is deactivated.

During the first 10 seconds of anti-
theft alarm system activation:LED illu‐
minates=Test, ignition delay,LED
flashes
quickly=Door, load
compartment or bonnet open, or system fault.
After the first 10 seconds of anti-theft
alarm system activation:
LED flashes
slowly=System active,LED comes on for approx. 1 second=Switch off
function.
Seek the assistance of a workshop in
the event of faults.
Deactivation
Unlocking the vehicle deactivates the anti-theft alarm system.
Alarm When triggered, the alarm gives off
an acoustic signal (horn) and a visual
signal (hazard warning flashers). The number and duration of which are
stipulated by legislation.
The alarm siren can be silenced by
pressing a button of the radio remote control or by switching on the ignition.
The anti-theft alarm system can be
deactivated only by pressing button
p or by switching on the ignition.
If the vehicle's battery is to be
disconnected (e.g. for maintenance
work), the alarm siren must be
deactivated as follows: switch the
ignition on then off, then disconnect
the vehicle's battery within
15 seconds.
Immobiliser The system checks whether the
vehicle is allowed to start with the key
being used. If the transponder in the
key is recognised, the engine can be
started.
The immobiliser is going to be
activated automatically after the key
has been removed from the ignition
switch or when the engine is switched
off by pressing the Start/Stop button.
Control indicator A 3 89.Notice
The immobiliser does not lock the
doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on the anti-theft alarm system 3 30,
3 34.
138Driving and operating
If F appears in the transmission
display, continued driving is not
possible.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.
Interruption of power
supply
The clutch is not disengaged if there
is an interruption of the power supply
when a gear is engaged. The vehicle
cannot move.
If the battery is discharged, start the
vehicle using jump leads 3 186.
If the cause of the fault is not a
discharged battery, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If the vehicle must be moved out of the flow of traffic, disengage the
clutch as follows:
1. Apply parking brake and switch off
ignition.
2. Open the bonnet 3 154.
3. Clean the transmission around the cap so that no dirt can get intothe opening when the cap is
removed.
4. Rotate cap to slacken and remove
by lifting upwards.
5. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw under the
cap clockwise until clear
resistance can be felt. The clutch
has now been disengaged.
6. Refit cleaned cap. The cap must be in full contact with the housing.Caution
Do not turn beyond the resistancesince this could damage the
transmission.
Caution
Towing the vehicle and starting
the engine is not permitted when
the clutch has been disengaged in this way, although the vehicle can
be moved a short distance.
Seek the immediate assistance of a
workshop.
Vehicle care153
■ Open bonnet, close all doors andlock the vehicle.
■ Disconnect the clamp from the negative terminal of the vehicle
battery. Beware that all systems are
not functional, e.g. anti-theft alarm
system.
Putting back into operation
Following must be done if the vehicle
is putting back into operation:
■ Connect the clamp to the negative terminal of the vehicle battery.
Activate the electronics of the
power windows.
■ Check tyre pressure.
■ Fill up the washer fluid reservoir.
■ Check the engine oil level.
■ Check the coolant level.
■ Fit the number plate if necessary.End-of-life vehicle
recovery
Information on end-of-life vehicle
recovery centres and the recycling of
end-of-life vehicles is available on our website. Only entrust this work to an
authorised recycling centre.Vehicle checks
Performing work9 Warning
Only perform engine compartment
checks when the ignition is off.
The cooling fan may start
operating even if the ignition is off.
154Vehicle care9Danger
The ignition system and Xenon
headlights use extremely high
voltage. Do not touch.
The caps for topping up the engine oil, the coolant, the washing fluid and theoil dipstick handle are yellow for ease
of identification.
Bonnet
Opening
Pull the release lever and return it to
its original position.
Lift the safety catch upwards and
open the bonnet.
Air intake 3 124.
Secure the bonnet support.
Closing Before closing the bonnet, press the
support into the holder.
Lower the bonnet and allow it to drop into the catch. Check that the bonnet
is engaged.
Engine oil Check the engine oil level manuallyon a regular basis to prevent damage
to the engine. Ensure that the correct specification of oil is used.
Recommended fluids and lubricants
3 194.
190Vehicle care
If using a car wash, comply with the
car wash manufacturer's instructions. The windscreen wipers and rear
window wiper must be switched off.
Remove antenna and external
accessories such as roof racks etc.
If you wash your vehicle by hand,
make sure that the insides of the
wheel housings are also thoroughly
rinsed out.
Clean edges and folds on opened
doors and the bonnet as well as the
areas they cover.Caution
Always use a cleaning agent with
a pH value of 4 to 9.
Do not use cleaning agents on hot surfaces.
Have the door hinges of all doors
greased by a workshop.
Do not clean the engine compartment with a steam-jet or high-pressure jet
cleaner.
Thoroughly rinse and leather-off the vehicle. Rinse leather frequently. Use
separate leathers for painted and
glass surfaces: remnants of wax on
the windows will impair vision.
Exterior lights
Headlight and other light covers are
made of plastic. Do not use any
abrasive or caustic agents, do not use an ice scraper, and do not clean them
dry.
Polishing and waxing Wax the vehicle regularly (at the
latest when water no longer beads).
Otherwise, the paintwork will dry out.
Polishing is necessary only if the paint
has become dull or if solid deposits
have become attached to it.
Paintwork polish with silicone forms a
protective film, making waxing
unnecessary.
Plastic body parts must not be treated with wax or polishing agents.Windows and windscreen wiper
blades
Use a soft lint-free cloth or chamois leather together with window cleanerand insect remover.
When cleaning the rear window from
inside, always wipe in parallel to the
heating element to prevent damage.
For mechanical removal of ice, use a
sharp-edged ice scraper. Press the
scraper firmly against the glass so
that no dirt can get under it and
scratch the glass.
Clean smearing wiper blades with a
soft cloth and window cleaner.
Moonroof
Never clean with solvents or abrasive
agents, fuels, aggressive media
(e.g. paint cleaner, acetone-
containing solutions etc.), acidic or
highly alkaline media or abrasive
pads. Do not apply wax or polishing
agents to the middle part of the
moonroof.
