high temperature of the exhaust system could ignite the surface.
■ Always apply the parking brake.
Activate the manual parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress foot
brake at the same time to
reduce operating force.
For vehicles with electric
parking brake, pull switch m for
approx. one second.
The electric parking brake is
applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 112.
■ Switch off the engine. ■ If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector lever
to position P before removing
the ignition key. On an uphill
slope, turn the front wheels
away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
■ Close the windows.
■ Remove the ignition key. Turn the steering wheel until the
steering wheel lock is felt to
engage.
For vehicles with automatic
transmission, the key can only
be removed when the selector
lever is in position P.
■
Lock the vehicle by pressing e on
the radio remote control.
■ Activate the anti-theft alarm system
3 25.
■ The engine cooling fans may run after the engine has been switched
off 3 221.
Caution

speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.

20Keys, doors and windowsRadio remote control
Used to operate:■ central locking system
■ anti-theft locking system
■ anti-theft alarm system
■ power windows
The radio remote control has a range of approx. 20 metres. It can be
restricted by external influences. The
hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
■ The range is exceeded.
■ The battery voltage is too low.
■ Frequent, repeated operation of the
radio remote control while not in
range, which will require re-
synchronisation.
■ Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
■ Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 21.
Basic settings
Some settings can be changed in the Settings menu in the Info-Display.
Vehicle personalisation 3 129.
Radio remote control battery
replacement
Replace the battery as soon as the
range reduces.

waste. They must be disposed of at
an appropriate recycling collection
point.

General hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to
the tailgate. Always check the
moving area above and behind the
tailgate.
Notice
The installation of certain heavy
accessories onto the tailgate may
affect its ability to remain open.
Vehicle security
Anti-theft locking system9 Warning
