The SmartKey centrally locks/unlocks:
Rthe doors
Rthe tailgate
Rthe charge socket flap
The turn signals flash once when unlocking
and three times when locking.
When the locator lighting is activated in Audio
20/COMAND, it also lights up when it is dark after the vehicle is unlocked with the remote
control (see the separate operating instruc-
tions).
You can also set an audible signal to confirm
that the vehicle has been locked. The audible
signal can be activated and deactivated using
the on-board computer (
Ypage 198).
KEYLESS-GO
General notes
Bear in mind that the drive system can be
started by any of the vehicle occupants if
there is a key in the vehicle.
Locking and unlocking
You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you only need carry the SmartKey with you. You can combine the
functions of KEYLESS-GO with those of a con-
ventional SmartKey. Unlock the vehicle by
using KEYLESS-GO, for instance, and lock it
using the &button on the SmartKey.
The driver's door and the door at which the
handle is used, must both be closed. The
SmartKey must be outside the vehicle. When locking or unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the
distance between the SmartKey and the cor-
responding door handle must not be greater
than 3 ft (1 m).
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the
SmartKey determines whether a valid Smart-
Key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example:
Rwhen starting the drive system
Rwhilst driving
Rwhen the external door handles are
touched
Rduring convenience closing
XTo unlock the vehicle: touch the inner
surface of the door handle.
XTo lock the vehicle: touch sensor sur-
face :or;.
Make sure that you do not touch the inner
surface of the door handle.
XConvenience closing feature: touch
recessed sensor surface ;for an exten-
ded period.
Further information on the convenience
closing feature (
Ypage 84).
XTo unlock the tailgate: pull tailgate han-
dle :.
Deactivating and activating
If you do not intend to use the vehicle for a
longer period of time, you can deactivate KEY-
LESS-GO. The SmartKey will then use very lit-
tle power, thereby conserving battery power.

The color and brightness for the ambient
lighting may be set using COMAND or Audio
20 (see the separate operating instructions).
Automatic interior lighting control

Replacing bulbs
Important safety notes
Xenon bulbs
GDANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You can get an electric shock if you remove the cover of
th e Xenon bulb and touch the electrical con-
tacts . There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical con-
tacts of th e Xenon bulb. Always have work on
th e Xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
If your vehicle is equipped with Xenon bulbs,
you can recognize th is by the following: the
cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the drive system. For this tobe
observed, the lights must be switched on
before the drive system is started.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Other bulbs
GWARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very hot
when operating. If you changeabulb, you
could burn yourself on these components.
There is a risk of injury.
Allow these component s to cool down before
changing a bulb.

cator lamp in theábutton goes out.
RIf you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds
at the bottom of the screen in the Audio/
COMAND display (see separate operating
instructions). You will see the current set-
tings of the various climate control func-
tions.
You can choose between various drive pro-
grams with the program selector button
(
Ypage 137).
If you have selected drive program E+:
Rthe cooling output is reduced when cooling
Rheat output is reduced when heating
Rthe time for which the rear window
defroster will run is reduced
If you have selected drive program Eor S, the
current climate settings are maintained.

Switching cooling with air dehumidi-
fication on/off
General notes
If you deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehu-
midification" function, the air inside the vehi- cle will not be cooled. The air inside the vehi-
cle will also not be dehumidified. The win-
dows can fog up more quickly. Therefore, only
deactivate the "Cooling with air-dehumidifi-
cation" function briefly.
The "Cooling with air-dehumidification" func-
tion is operational when the vehicle is ready
to drive. The air inside the vehicle is cooled
and dehumidified according to the tempera-
ture selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when it is in cooling mode. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc- tion.
118Operating the climate control systems
Climate control

As a result of its basic characteristics, the
amount of energy available from the high-
voltage battery decreases over the course of
its life.
This reduces:
Rthe maximum range that can be achieved
by the vehicle
Rthe maximum output (acceleration) of the
vehicle
You can actively reduce the energy consump-
tion of your vehicle in a number of ways, for
example, by:
Ran anticipatory driving style
Rreducing the use of electrical consumers
Rhaving the vehicle regularly maintained
The charging time of the high-voltage battery may change over the course of its life.
Observe the displays on energy usage
(
Ypage 188) and range (Ypage 188).
RANGE PLUS
If you activate RANGE PLUS, the operating
window of the battery will be extended at thenext charging process. An extended driving
range will be available to you for the next
journey.
Using RANGE PLUS shortens the service life
of the battery. Therefore, only use RANGE
PLUS if, for example:
Rlong journeys are planned or
Rthe availability of charging stations at the
destination is limited
The more often RANGE PLUS is used, the
more the extended range is reduced.
Therefore always check the range display
before every journey (
Ypage 188).
XTo switch on: press button:.
The green Indicator lamp lights up.
XTo switch off: press button:.
The indicator lamp goes out.
RANGE PLUS switches off automatically if:
Rthe charging cable is disconnected or
Rthe charging process is complete
