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

Never run the fuel tank completely dry. An ir-
regu l

ar fuel supply could cause misfiring. In
this way the unburned fuel can reach the ex-

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.
Examples of priority 1 warning messages
(red)
● Brake system symbol  with the warning
me
ssage STOP BRAKE FLUID INSTRUC-
TION MANUAL or STOP BRAKE FAULT IN-
STRUCTION MANUAL .
● Coolant symbol  with the warning me
s-
sage STOP SEE COOLANT INSTRUCTION
MANUAL .
● Engine oil pressure symbol  with the
warning me
ssage STOP ENGINE OIL

Warning messages, Priority 2 (yellow)
If one of these faults occurs, the correspond-
ing warning lamp lights up and is accompa-
nied by an audible warning. Check the corre-
sponding function as soon as possible al-
though the vehicle may be used without risk.
If several priority 2 warning messages are de-
tected at the same time, the symbols are dis-
played one after the other for about 2 sec-
onds at a time. After a set time, the informa-
tion text will disappear and the symbol will
be shown as a reminder at the side of the
display.

Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of injur

traffic. 102

Opening and closing
● Tiltin
g panor
amic sunroof open (partially or
completely),
● Movement of objects inside the vehicle,
such as
loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v ehic

le is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor, thi
s will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehicl
e may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid is
open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Boot hatch

age 9 WARNING
● Alwa y

s close the rear lid properly. Risk of
accident or injury.
● The rear lid must not be opened when the

damage the tail lights.
● Do not close the rear lid by pushing it down

to extremely high and low temperatures, de-
pending on the time of year, thus causing se-
rious injuries/illness. It could even have fatal
consequences. Close and lock both the rear
lid and all the other doors when you are not
using the vehicle.
● Closing the rear lid without observing and
ensuring it
is clear could cause serious injury
to you and to third parties. Make sure that no
one is in the path of the rear lid. ●
Never drive w ith the r

ear lid open or half-
closed, exhaust gases may enter into the in-
terior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● If you only open the rear lid, do not leave
the key ins
ide. The vehicle cannot be opened
if the key is left inside. Electric windows

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*

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.

diately if it is obstructed when closing. Lights and visibility
