Operation
●
Never clo se the ti
lting sunroof without first
checking that there are no obstructions. Risk
of serious injury to you or others. Make sure
that no one is in the path of the tilting sun-
roof.
● Always take the vehicle key with you when
you leav
e the vehicle.
● Never leave children or disabled persons in
the vehicl
e, particularly if they have access to
the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could
mean that the engine is started or that elec-
trical equipment is used (e.g. electric tilting
sunroof) with a risk of accident. The doors
can be locked using the remote control key.
This could become an obstacle for assistance
in an emergency situation.
● The tilting sunroof continues to function
until one of
the front doors is opened and the
key removed from the ignition.
● Ensure that no object and/or end is be-
tween the glas
s and the sunroof when the
one-touch opening/closing function is reset. Convenience closing*
Using the door lock
– Hold the key in the door lock of the driver
door in the loc k
in g po

sition until the tilting
sunroof is closed.
– Release the key to interrupt this function. Using the remote control
– Push the lock button on the remote control
for appro

ximately 3 seconds. The tilting
sunroof closes.
– Press the unlock button to interrupt the
function.

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

The dynamic lighting is controlled automati-
cally according to speed and the steering

angles

to avoid that the front of the vehicle is
left completely in the dark. Note
The system operates from a speed of about
10 km/h (6 mph). Fog lights with cornering function*

the steering or connecting the turn signal.

Lights and visibility
The instrument lighting (needles) is switched
on when the ignition i s
on and the light i
s
off. The instrument lighting is dimmed auto-
matically as the daylight starts to fade. It
goes out completely when ambient light is
very low. This function is intended to remind
the driver to switch on the dipped beam
headlights in good time when light condi-
tions become poor.
Headlight range control
By using the electrical headlight range con-
trol you can adjust the headlight range to the
load level that is being carried in the vehicle
››› Fig. 135. This way, it is possible to avoid
dazzling oncoming traffic more than necessa-
ry. At the same time, by using the correct
headlight settings, the driver has the best
possible lighting for the road ahead.
The headlights can only be adjusted when
the dipped beam is switched on. Turn the
wheel downwards to lower the headlight
beam from the basic setting 0.
Dynamic headlight range control
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs (xenon
bulbs) are equipped with dynamic headlight
range control. When you switch on the lights,
their range regulates itself according to the
vehicle load.
Vehicles with gas discharge bulbs do not
have headlight range control. Hazard warning lights

The hazard warning lights are used to draw
the attention of other road users to your vehi-
cle in emergencies.
If your vehicle breaks down:
1. Park your vehicle at a safe distance from moving tr
affic.
2. Press the button to switch on the hazard warning lights ›

›› .
3. Switch the ignition off.
4. Apply the handbrake.
5. For a manual gearbox, engage 1st gear; for an aut
omatic

gearbox, move the gear
lever to P.
6. Use the warning triangle to draw the atten- tion of other roa
d users to your vehicle.
7. Always take the vehicle key with you when you leav
e the vehicle.
All turn signals flash simultaneously when
the hazard warning lights are switched on.
The two turn signal turn signal lamps  
and the turn signal lamp in the switch  will
flash at the same time. The simultaneous
hazard warning lights also work when the ig-

● The risk of an ac

cident increases if your ve-
hicle breaks down. Always use the hazard
warning lights and a warning triangle to draw
the attention of other road users to your sta-
tionary vehicle.
● Due to the high temperatures that the cata-
lytic conv
erter can reach, never park in an
area where the catalytic converter could come
into contact with highly inflammable materi-
als, for example dry grass or spilt petrol. This
could start a fire. Note

Introduction The power steering is not hydraulic but elec-
tromech
anic

al. The advantage of this steer-
ing is that it foes not need flexible hydraulic
pipes, hydraulic oil, pump, filter or other
parts. The electromechanical system saves
fuel. Whereas a hydraulic system needs con-
tinuous oil pressure, electromechanical
steering only needs power when it is used.
In vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the assisted steering function automatically
adjusts according to vehicle speed, steering
wheel torque and wheel orientation. The
power steering only works when the engine
is running. WARNING
If the power steering does not work, you will
need much more s tr

ength to turn the wheel.
This has a considerable effect on vehicle
safety.
● The power steering only works when the
engine is ru
nning.
● Never allow the vehicle to move when the
engine is sw
itched off.
● Never remove the key from the ignition
while the v
ehicle is moving. The steering lock could be engaged and vehicle steering would
not work.
Note
The ignition of the vehicle being towed must
be sw itched on t

o prevent the steering wheel
from locking and also to allow the use of the
turn signals, horn, windscreen wipers and
washers. Control lamp
