Since start (  ) Or “1” (
 )
The memory collates the driving information from the moment the ignition is
switched on until it is switched off.
New data will also flow into the calculation of the current driving information if
the trip is continued within 2 hours after switching off the ignition.
If the trip is interrupted for more than 2 hours, the memory is automatically
erased.
Long-term (  ) And “2” (
 )
The memory gathers driving information from any number of individual jour-
neys up to a total of 99 hours and 59 minutes driving or 9,999 kilometres driv-
en.
The memory is deleted when either of these limits is reached and the calcula-
tion starts all over again.
Since refuel (  ) or “3” (
 )
The memory gathers driving information since the last refuelling.
The memory is erased automatically the next time you fill up.

The overview of the driving data information (the number of items displayed is
different depending on equipment).
Range
The range indicates the distance you can still drive with your vehicle based on
the level of fuel in the tank and with the same style of driving as before.
The display is shown in steps of 10 km. After lighting up of the warning icon 
the display is shown in steps of 5 km.
The fuel consumption over the last 50 km is used to calculate the range. The
range can increase if you drive in a more fuel-efficient manner.
Average fuel consumption
The average fuel consumption 1)
is calculated since the last time the memory
was erased. 

›The interior light switched by the door contact goes off.
› The SafeLock system is switched on.
› The warning light in the driver door begins flashing.
› The anti-theft alarm system is activated.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed.WARNING■ Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-
ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the
ignition or start the engine - danger of injury and accidents!■
When leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely in-
dependent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle. The children might,
for example, release the handbrake or take the vehicle out of gear. The ve-
hicle could then start to move – risk of accident! These individuals would
possibly not be able to leave the vehicle on their own or to help them-
selves. At very high or very low temperatures can be fatal!
CAUTION
■ Each key contains electronic components; therefore it must be protected
against moisture and severe shocks.■
Keep the groove of the keys absolutely clean. Impurities (textile fibres, dust,
etc.) impair the function of the locking cylinder and ignition lock.
■
The battery must be replaced if the central locking or anti-theft alarm system
does react to the remote control at less than approx. 3 metres away
» page 179 .
■
Always check that the vehicle is locked before leaving it.
■
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
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
vehicle.Locking/unlocking using the key via the lock cylinderFig. 29

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Activating/deactivating

Interior monitor and towing protection
55
The anti-theft alarm system increases the level of protection against theft and
break-in
The alarm system triggers audible and visual signals if an attempt is made to
break into the vehicle (hereafter referred to only as alarm).
Triggering the alarm
The alarm is triggered when the following unauthorized actions are carried out
on the locked vehicle.
› Opening the bonnet.
› Opening the boot lid.
› Opening the doors.
› Manipulation of the ignition lock.
› Towing the vehicle
» page 55.
› Movement in the vehicle
» page 55.
› Sudden and significant voltage failure of the electrical system.
› Uncoupling the trailer
» page 134, Trailer, connect and disconnect .
If the driver's door of a vehicle with a remote control is unlocked and opened by the lock cylinder, then the alarm is triggered.
Switching off the alarm
The alarm is turned off by pressing the  button on the radio remote control
key or switching on the ignition. 
54Operation

WARNINGPower windows in the driver's door and the rear doors are equipped with a
force limiter (only applies to the Variant 2 ) » page 58 . If there is an obsta-
cle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes down by several
centimetres. The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of
injury.
CAUTION
■ Keep the windows clean to ensure the correct functionality of the electric
windows.■
In the event that the windows are frozen, first of all eliminate the ice
» page 143 , Windows and external mirrors and only then operate the electrical
power windows. Otherwise, the window sealing and the electrical power win-
dow mechanism could be damaged.
■
In the winter, ice on the window may cause greater resistance as the win-
dow is closed. The window will stop and open again by several centimetres. It
is necessary to deactivate the force limiter to close the window » page 58.
■
Always make sure that the windows are closed when you leave the locked
vehicle.
■
Always close the windows before disconnecting the battery » page 58,
Force limitation .
■
The window lift mechanism is equipped with protection against overheater.
Repeated opening and closing of the window can cause this mechanism to
overheat. If this happens, it will not be possible to operate the window for a
short time. You will be able to operate the window again as soon as the over-
heater protection has cooled down.
For the sake of the environment
At high speeds you should keep the windows closed to prevent unnecessarily high fuel consumption.
Note
When driving always use the existing heater, air conditioning and ventilation
system for ventilating the interior of the vehicle. With the windows open, dust
and other dirt can get into the vehicle. In addition, wind noises can occur at
certain speeds.Open / close windowsFig. 38

Force limitation
Only version 2 of the power windows is equipped with the power limiter (does
not apply to the passenger window).
Read and observe
and on page 57 first.
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes
down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only switched off if you attempt to close the window again
within the next 10 seconds - the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 38 on page 57 has no force limiter.
The windows should nevertheless be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 38 on
page 57 has no force limiter. The windows should nevertheless be closed
carefully – risk of injury!
