Perfect wiper blade condition is essential for
clear vision. Damaged wiper blades should
be replaced immediately.
The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is si-
lent. If the graphite layer is damaged, the
noise of the water as it is wiped across the
windscreen will be louder.

Before changing any bulb, first turn off the
failed device. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare h

ands. The fingerprints left on the
glass will vaporise as a result of the heat gen-
erated by the bulb, reducing bulb life and
causing condensation on the reflector sur-
face, thus reducing effectiveness.
A bulb must only be replaced by one of the
same type. The type is indicated on the bulb,
either on the glass part or on the base.
Xenon headlights
With this type of headlight, the user can re-
place the turn signal bulb. Replacement of
the dipped/main beam bulb must be done by
Technical Services, given that complex ele-
ments must be removed from the vehicle and
the automatic control system that incorpo-
rates it must be reset.
The Xenon bulbs discharge 2.5 times the
light flux and have an average lifespan of 5
times more than that of halogen bulbs, this
means that, except due to unusual circum-
stances, there is no need to change the bulbs
for the whole life of the vehicle. WARNING
● Take p ar

ticular care when working on com-
ponents in the engine compartment if the en-
gine is warm, there is a risk of burns.
● Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The
glass
can break when you touch the bulb,
causing injury. » 83

Emergencies
●
The high vo lt
age element of gas discharge
bulbs* (xenon light) must be handled correct-
ly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
● When changing bulbs, please take care not
to injure y
ourself on sharp parts in the head-
light housing. CAUTION
● Remov e the ignition k

ey before working on
the electric system. Otherwise, a short circuit
could occur.
● Switch off the lights or parking lights be-
fore y
ou change a bulb. For the sake of the environment
Please ask your specialist retailer how to dis-
pose of u sed b

ulbs in the proper manner. Note
● Depending on w e

ather conditions (cold or
wet), the front lights, the fog lights, the tail
lights and the turn signals may be temporari-
ly misted. This has no influence on the useful
life of the lighting system. By switching on
the lights, the area through which the beam
of light is projected will quickly be demisted.
However, the edges may continue to be mis-
ted.
● Please check at regular intervals that all
lighting (espec
ially the exterior lighting) on
your vehicle is functioning properly. This is not only in the interest of your own safety,
but a
l

so that of all other road users.
● Before changing a bulb, make sure you
have the corr
ect new bulb.
● Do not touch the glass part of the bulb with
your bare h
ands, use a cloth or paper towel
instead. The residue left by the fingerprints
would vaporise as a result of the heat gener-
ated by the bulb, they will be deposited on
the reflector and will impair its surface. Single headlight bulb change

Even though outside temperatures are above

is not visible, there may still be patches of ice
on the road.
● Do not rely on the outside temperature in-
dicator! Note
● Different

versions of the instrument panel

instructions on the display may vary. In the
case of displays without warning or informa-
tion texts, faults are indicated exclusively by
the warning lamps. 98

Operation
●
Additiona l
lights and other accessories in
front of the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the coo
ling air when the vehicle is
moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the cooling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel level

There are red warning symbols (priority 1)
and yellow warning symbols (priority 2).
Warning messages, Priority 1 (red)
If one of these faults occurs, the warning
lamp will light up or flash and will be accom-
panied by three audible warnings. This is a
danger warning. Stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine. Check the fault and correct it.
Obtain professional assistance if necessary.
If several priority 1 faults are detected at the
same time, the symbols will be displayed one after the other for about 2 seconds at a time
and will

continue until the fault is corrected.
No menus will be shown in the display for the
duration of a priority 1 warning message.

sponding function as soon as possible al-
though the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are de-

The legal requirements regarding the use of
vehicle lights in each country must be ob-
served.
The driver is personally responsible for the
correct use and adjustment of the lights in all
situations. WARNING
Never drive with just the side lights on, there
is a ri sk

of accident. The side lights are not
bright enough to illuminate the road ahead
and to ensure that other road users are able
to see you. Always use your dipped beam
headlights if it is dark or if visibility is poor. Note
● The dipped beam he a

dlights will only work
with the ignition on. The side lights come on
automatically when the ignition is turned off.
● If the lights are left on after the key has
been taken out of
the ignition lock, an audi-
ble warning sounds while the driver door re-
mains open. This is a reminder to switch the
lights off.
● The rear fog light is so bright that it can
dazzle driv
ers behind you. You should use
the rear fog light only when visibility is very
poor. ●
The use of the lightin g de

scribed here is
subject to the relevant statutory require-
ments. Automatic lighting*

If automatic headlight control is switched on,
dipped beam headlights are automatically
switched on by a photosensor if you drive in-
to a tunnel, for example. WARNING
● Even if the aut

omatic headlight control is
switched on, the dipped beam headlights will
not be switched on with fog. Therefore, the
dipped beam must be switched on manually. Note
● For those v

ehicles with the automatic head-
light system, when the key is removed from
the ignition, the audible warning will only
sound if the light knob is in position  or . ●
If the da ylight

driving automatic light func-
tion is switched on, the front fog lights or
rear fog light cannot be switched on in addi-
tion.
● The use of the lighting described here is
subject
to the relevant statutory require-
ments.
● Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the sen
sor. This may cause disrup-
tions or faults in the automatic lighting sys-
tem.
● The rain sensor switches on the dipped

● Worn and dirty w

● In cold conditions you should not use the
wash/wipe sy
stem unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road.
● Always note the corresponding warnings
›››  p

age 54. WARNING
The rain sensor* may not detect enough rain
to swit c

h on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the wind
screen obstructs visi-
bility. CAUTION
In icy conditions, always check that the wiper
bla de

s are not frozen to the glass before us-
ing the wipers for the first time. If you switch
on the windscreen wipers when the wiper
blades are frozen to the windscreen, you
could damage both the wiper blades and the
wiper motor. Note
● The winds c

reen wipers will only work when
the ignition is switched on.
● The heat output of the heated jets* is con-
troll
ed automatically when the ignition is
switched on, depending upon the outside
temperature.
● In certain versions of vehicles with alarms,
the windsc
reen wiper will only work in inter-
val/rain sensor mode when the ignition is on
and the bonnet closed.
● When the interval wipe function is on, the
interva
ls are directly proportional to the
speed. This way, the higher the vehicle speed
the shorter the intervals. ●
If y ou s

top the vehicle with the windscreen
wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically
change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.
● The windscreen will be wiped again after
approx
imately five seconds once the “auto-
matic wash/wipe system” has been activa-
ted, provided the vehicle is moving (drip func-
tion). If you activate the wipers less than 3
seconds after the drip function, a new wash
sequence will begin without performing the
last wipe. For the “drip” function to work
again, you have to turn the ignition off and
then on again.
● Do not put stickers on the windscreen in
front of the
rain sensor*. This may cause sen-
sor disruption or faults. Rear window wiper
