When the vehicle has not been locked from outside and no door is open the
button 
» Fig. 40 can be used to unlock or lock the vehicle.
The locking is shown by the illuminated symbol 
.
The central locking system also operates if the ignition is switched off.
The following applies after locking. ▶ Opening the doors and the boot lid from the outside is not possible.
▶ The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
WARNINGDoors locked from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the
vehicle in an emergency – risk to life!
Safe securing system
Read and observe
and on page 53 first.
As soon as the vehicle is locked from the outside, the safe lock prevents open-
ing the doors from the inside.
This function is pointed out by the following message on the display of the in-
strument cluster after switching out the ignition.
Check SAFELOCK! Owner's manual!CHECK SAFELOCK
After locking the vehicle, the warning light in the driver's door flashes for
around 2 seconds in quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at
longer intervals.
Switching off
The safe lock can be switched off in one of the following ways.
▶ By locking twice within 2 seconds.
▶ By disabling the button for interior monitoring and anti-towing » page 58.
The indicator light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes out and starts to flash at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system is switched off, the door
can be opened separately from the inside by a single pull on opening lever.
The safelock switches on the next time the vehicle is locked.
WARNINGIf the car is locked and the safe securing system activated, no people must
remain 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!55Unlocking and opening

Fog mode
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted so that the driver is not
dazzled by the reflection of the cone of light by fog in front of the vehicle.
The mode is active at speeds of 15 – 70 km/h and if the rear fog light is switch- ed on for a period of time longer than about 10 seconds. The deactivation of
the mode is carried out a few minutes after switching off the rear fog lights.
Dynamic cornering lights
The cone of light in front of the vehicle is adjusted to the steering angle so
that the road in the curve is illuminated. This function is active at speeds
greater than 10 km.h and in all System modes.
travel mode
If the travel mode is activated, there is no automatic cone of light adaptation
in front of the vehicle.
The travel mode can be activated/deactivated in the Infotainment » Owner´s
Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - vehicle settings .
Economy mode
When the Eco driving mode » page 171 is activated the system is in Economy
mode and there is no direction dependent light cone adaptation in front of the
vehicle.WARNINGIf there is a system malfunction the headlights are automatically lowered
to the emergency position, which prevents a possible dazzling of oncoming
traffic. This reduces the cone of light in front of the vehicle. Drive carefully
and visit a specialist garage as soon as possible.Front and rear fog lightsFig. 57

The starting process using the battery of another vehicle requires the use of
jumper cables.
The jump-start cables must be attached in the following sequence.

›
Attach the clamp

to a solid metal part which is connected firmly to the en-
gine block or to the engine block itself.
The jump-start cable must be connected to the engine earthing point only on
vehicles with the START-STOP system » Fig. 250.
Starting engine
›
Start the engine on the vehicle providing the power and allow it to idle.
›
Start the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
›
If the engine does not start, terminate the attempt to start the engine after
10 seconds and wait for 30 seconds before repeating the process.
›
Remove the jump start cables in the reverse order as attachment.
Both batteries must have a rated voltage of 12 V. The capacity (Ah) of the bat-
tery supplying the power must not be significantly less than the capacity of
the discharged battery in your vehicle.
Jump-start cables
Only use jump-start cables which have an adequately large cross-section and
insulated terminal clamps. Observe the instructions of the jumper lead manu-
facturer.
Positive cable - colour coding in the majority of cases is red.
Negative cable - colour coding in the majority of cases is black.
WARNING■
Do not clamp the jump-start cable to the negative terminal of the dis-
charged battery. There is the risk of detonating gas seeping out the battery
being ignited by the strong spark which results from the engine being star-
ted.■
The non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps must never touch each
other – risk of short circuit!
■
The jump-start cable connected to the positive terminal of the battery
must not come into contact with electrically conducting parts of the vehicle
– risk of short circuit!
■
Route the jump-start cables so that they cannot be caught by any rotat-
ing parts in the engine compartment.
