Unlocking
Pull out the driver's door handle as far as possible to access the lock cylinder.
Remove the key blade from the remote key and insert it into the lock cylinder.
Turn it clockwise 45 degrees so that the key blade points straight rearward.
Turn the key blade back 45 degrees to its original position. Remove the key blade fromthe lock cylinder and release the door han-dle.
5. Pull the door handle again to open the door. > This will trigger the alarm. Lock the door in the same way, but turn the keyin step 3 counterclockwise.
Turning off the alarm

To turn off the alarm:
1. Place the remote key in the cup holder (on
the key symbol) in the tunnel console (see the illustration).
2. Turn the start knob to START and release it.
> The start knob will return to its original position and the alarm will be turned off.
LockingIf necessary, the vehicle can be locked by insert-ing the detachable key blade into the lock cylin-der in the driver's door. Each of the other doors has a lock mechanism that must be pressed in using the key blade sothat the door cannot be opened from the outside.The doors can still be opened from the inside.

Towing recommendations
Always check with state and local authorities before attempting to tow another vehiclebecause this type of towing is subject to regula-tions regarding maximum towing speed, lengthand type of towing device, lighting, etc.
Towing your vehicle behind another
vehicle
1. After securely attaching the towing line to both vehicles, put the gear selector in posi- tion N and release the parking brake.
2. Put the ignition in mode II by turning the
start knob to START (without depressing
the brake pedal) and hold it in this position
for approx. 4 seconds. Release the knob.
3. Put the gear selector in position N and
release the parking brake.
4. The towing vehicle can now begin driving.
5. Keep the tow rope taut when the towing vehicle slows down by applying light pressure on the brake pedal. This will help prevent jar-ring movements of the vehicle being towed.
6. Be prepared to apply the brakes to stop the vehicle being towed.
CAUTION
General towing precautions:
• If the vehicle's battery is dead, an auxiliary battery will be necessary to provide cur-rent for releasing the electric parkingbrake and to move the gear selector from the
P position to N. If this is not possible,
use the shiftlock override procedure tomanually release the gear selector from P
and move it to N.
• Maximum speed: 50 mph (80 km/h). Do not exceed the maximum allowable tow-ing speed.
• Maximum distance with front wheels onground: 50 miles (80 km).
• The vehicle should only be towed in theforward direction.
WARNING
• When the vehicle is being towed, the igni- tion should be in mode
II (in mode I, all of
the vehicle's airbags are deactivated).
• The remote key must remain inside the vehicle.
• The power brakes and power steering willnot function when the engine is not run-ning. Approximately 5 times more pres-sure will be required on the brake pedaland the steering wheel will be considera-bly harder to turn.
• The towing eyelets must not be used forpulling the vehicle out of a ditch or forany similar purpose involving severestrain.

Ignition modes
The vehicle's ignition can be put in various modes (levels) to make different functions availa-ble.

* can be adjusted
• The power windows can be oper-ated
• The 12-volt socket in the cargocompartment can be used
• The center display is activatedand can be used
• The infotainment system can beused for a limited time
In this mode, certain functions can only be used for a limited time to helpminimize battery drain
I• The laminated panoramic roof
*,
power seats */windows,12-volt
sockets in the passenger com- partment, Bluetooth, navigation system *, climate system blower,
windshield wipers can be oper- ated
• The infotainment system will start(if it was started when the ignitionwas switched off)

Battery drain Your vehicle's electrical functions drain the bat- tery to varying extents.
Avoid using ignition mode
II as much as posssi-
ble, or electrical functions that require a great deal of electrical current when the engine is notrunning. Using ignition mode I whenever possible con-
sumes less electrical current. Functions that require a great deal of electrical current include:
• the climate system blower
• headlights
• wipers
• infotainment system (especially at high vol- ume).
If the battery's charge level is low, a text message will appear in the instrument panel. The vehicle'senergy-saving function will then turn off orreduce certain functions that are currently con-suming electrical current. If the battery needs to be recharged, start the engine and let it idle for at least 15 minutes ordrive the vehicle (driving charges the batteryfaster than letting the engine idle).

• Ignition modes (p. 355)
Starting the engine
The engine can be started using the start knob on the tunnel console if there is a remote key inthe passenger compartment.

STARTING AND DRIVING
358If
Vehicle key not found is displayed in the
instrument panel, place the remote key in the back-up reader in the tunnel console (see theillustration) and try again to start the engine.
CAUTION
If the engine does not start after the third try, wait for approximately 3 minutes before tryingto start it again to give the battery time torecover its starting capacity.
WARNING
• Always remove the remote key from the passenger compartment when leaving thevehicle and ensure that the ignition in mode
0.
• On vehicles with the optional Passive Entry, never remove the remote key fromthe vehicle while it is being driven ortowed.
• Always place the gear selector in Parkand apply the parking brake before leav-ing the vehicle. Never leave the vehicleunattended with the engine running.
• Always open garage doors fully beforestarting the engine inside a garage toensure adequate ventilation. The exhaustgases contain carbon monoxide, which isinvisible and odorless but very poisonous.
NOTE
After a cold start, idle speed may be noticea- bly higher than normal for a short period. Thisis done to help bring components in theemission control system to their normal oper-ating temperature as quickly as possible,which enables them to control emissions andhelp reduce the vehicle's impact on the envi-ronment.
CAUTION
•
When starting in cold weather, the auto- matic transmission may shift up at slightlyhigher engine speeds than normal untilthe automatic transmission fluid reachesnormal operating temperature.
• Do not race a cold engine immediatelyafter starting. Oil flow may not reachsome lubrication points fast enough toprevent engine damage.
• The engine should be idling when youmove the gear selector. Never accelerateuntil after you feel the transmissionengage. Accelerating immediately afterselecting a gear will cause harsh engage-ment and premature transmission wear.
• Selecting
P or N when idling at a stand-
still for prolonged periods of time will helpprevent overheating of the automatictransmission fluid.
