General information This system allows you to connect your mo-
bile phone via Bluetooth connection and to
use the hands-free mode.
The hands-free device means that the tele-
phone can be used inside the vehicle; the
driver will not have to remove their hands
from the steering wheel nor will be distracted
from traffic.
Available functions include making calls in
hands-free mode, access to the mobile
phone address book, access to the call list
and control of the voice recognition system.
Before using the Bluetooth system, the mo-
bile phone should be connected to the vehi-
cle installation via Bluetooth
›››

ahead and to ensure that other road users are
able to see you.
● Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is raining or if visibility is poor.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driving light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, if it is rain-
ing or in conditions of poor visibility. Note
See legal requirements for each country. Nordic country solution
3 Only available in certain countries or as an
optional extra
The so-called “Nordic country solution” is an
alternative solution to daytime running lights
in vehicles without this function. It consists
of simultaneously connecting the dimmed
dipped beams, the sidelights and the licence
plate lights.
The aforementioned lights are switched on
each time the ignition is turned on if the light switch is in position
0 or . Depending
upon the model, the control lamp

Lights and visibility
When driving around bends, the headlights
will light the most important areas of the
road.
This cornering light gives better illumination
of the side of the road and the corner area.
The dynamic lighting is controlled automati-
cally according to speed and the steering
wheel angle.
The two main headlights move at different
angles to avoid that the front of the vehicle is
left completely in the dark. Note
The system operates from a speed of about
10 km/h (6 mph). Fog lights with cornering function*
This is an additional light source to dipped
beam headlights to light up the road as a
bend is taken.
The cornering light operates with the lights
switched on and when driving at less than
40 Km/h (25 mph). Ignition occurs by turning
the steering or connecting the turn signal.
Forward gear
● If the steering wheel is turned to the right,
or the right-hand turn signal operated, the
right-hand fog light turns on. ●
If the steering wheel is turned to the left, or
the left-hand turn signal operated, the left-
hand fog light turns on.
In reverse, both fog lights turn on. Note
When the fog lamps are on, the cornering
function is activated and both headlights are
continuously on. Hazard warning lights

lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off. WARNING
● The risk of an accident increases if your ve-
hicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to draw
the attention of other road users to your sta-
tionary vehicle.
● Due to the high temperatures that the cata-
lytic converter can reach, never park in an
area where the catalytic converter could come
into contact with highly inflammable materi-
als, for example dry grass or spilt petrol. This
could start a fire. Note
● The battery will run down if the hazard
warning lights are left on for a long time,
even if the ignition is switched off.

Driving
When the outside temperature is low, air re-
circulation mode improves heating perform-
ance by heating air from the interior instead
of cold air from the outside.
When the outside temperature is high, air re-
circulation mode improves cooling perform-
ance by cooling air from the interior instead
of warm air from outside.
For safety reasons, the air recirculation
should not be switched on when the air dis-
tribution control is set to the windscreen set-
ting . WARNING
In air recirculation mode, no cold air from the
outside enters the vehicle interior. If the air
conditioner is switched off, the windows can
quickly mist over. Therefore, never leave the
air recirculation mode switched on for a long
time (risk of accident). Note
When engaging reverse gear, the air recircu-
lation is connected automatically to prevent
the entrance of exhaust gases into the vehi-
cle upon travelling backwards. In this case
the symbol for air recirculation is not dis-
played. Driving
