Data overview
Overview of driving data (depending on the vehicle equipment).
Range - Drive distance in km which can be covered with the existing tank ca-
pacity and with the same driving style. If you drive more efficiently this value
can increase.
Average fuel consumption - Is calculated continuously since the last time that
the memory was erased. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the
first 100 m driven.
Current fuel consumption - When the vehicle is stationary or moving slowly,
the fuel consumption is displayed in l/h (in models in some countries the fol-
lowing appears --,- km/l).
Oil temperature if the temperature is lower than 50 °C or if there is a fault in
the system for checking the oil temperature, the symbols are displayed.
Warning at when the preset speed is exceeded allows the setting of a speed
limit where, if exceeded, an acoustic warning signal and a warning message
appears on the display of the instrument cluster.
Current Speed - Digital speedometer.
Average speed - Value constantly recalculated, for distance since last clearing
the memory. After erasing the memory, no data will appear for the first 300 m
driven.
Distance driven - Distance driven since the memory was last cleared.
Driving time - Driving time since last clearing the memory.
Coolant temperature - If the coolant temperature is in the range 70-120 °C,
the engine operating temperature has been reached. If the temperature is be-
low 70 ° C, high engine speeds and straining the engine should be avoided. If
the temperature is over 120°C, the warning light lights up in the instrument
cluster » page 34 .
Warning at when exceeding the set speed
The system offers the possibility to set a speed limit beyond which an acoustic
warning signal will sound and the following warning message appears in the
display of the instrument cluster.

The vehicle is equipped with a central locking system which makes it possible
to unlock / lock all the doors, the fuel filler flap and boot lid simultaneously.
The door unlocking can be adjusted individually » page 47.
The unlocking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing
twice.
If you unlock the vehicle and do not open a door or the boot lid within the next
45 seconds, the vehicle will lock again automatically.
The locking of the vehicle is displayed by the turn signal lights flashing once.
If the driver's door has been opened, the vehicle cannot be locked.
If the doors or the boot lid remain open after the vehicle doors have been
locked, the turn signal lights do not flash until they have been closed. 

Unlocking/locking - KESSYFig. 31
Vehicle unlocking / vehicle locking
Read and observe
and on page 45 first.
The KESSY system (Keyless Entry Start Exit System) enables unlocking and
locking of the vehicle without actively using the remote control key.
›

 the
vehicle.
When unlocking/locking the vehicle, the key must be at a maximum distance
of approximately 1.5 m from the front door handle.
Information on locking
On vehicles fitted with automatic gearbox, the selector lever must be moved
into the position P before unlocking.
The vehicle cannot be locked if the ignition has not been turned off.
After locking the car, it is not possible to unlock it within the next 2 seconds by touching the door handle. This can be used to check whether the vehicle is
locked.
Protection against inadvertently locking the key in the vehicle
If one of the doors is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which
the vehicle was locked remains in the passenger compartment, the vehicle is
automatically unlocked. After automatically unlocking, the turn signal lights
will flash four times. If no door is opened within 45 seconds, the vehicle is au-
tomatically locked again.
If the boot lid is closed after locking the vehicle and the key with which the vehicle was locked remains in the luggage compartment, the lid is automatical-
ly unlatched (partially opened). After automatically unlocking, the turn signal
lights will flash four times. The boot lid remains unlatched (partially opened);
the other doors remain locked.
CAUTION
Some types of gloves can affect the unlocking or locking device via the sen-
sors in the door handle.

▶ The doors can be unlocked and opened from the inside by a single pull on the
opening lever of the respective door.
WARNINGDoors locked from the inside make it difficult for rescuers to get into the
vehicle in an emergency – danger to life!46Operation

›To
deactivate/activate the buttons in the rear doors, press the E button.
When the buttons are disabled in the rear doors, the indicator light in the

lights up.
Force limiter
Read and observe
and on page 51 first.
Only version 2 of the power windows is equipped with the power limiter
(does not apply to the passenger window).
If there is an obstacle, the closing process is stopped and the window goes
down by several centimetres.
If the obstacle prevents the window from being closed during the next 10 sec-
onds, the closing process is interrupted once again and the window goes down
by several centimetres.
If you attempt to close the window again within 10 seconds of the window be-
ing moved down for the second time, even though the obstacle was not yet
been removed, the closing process is only stopped. During this time it is not
possible to automatically close the window. The force limiter is still switched
on.
The force limiter is only not operational if you attempt to close the window
again within the next 10 seconds – the window will now close with full force!
If you wait longer than 10 seconds, the force limiter is switched on again.
WARNING■ Variant 1 of the power window » Fig. 39 on page 51 has no force limiter.
The windows should be closed carefully – risk of injury!■
The passenger window in variant 2 of the power window » Fig. 39 on
page 51 has no force limiter. The window should nevertheless be closed
carefully – risk of injury!
Malfunctions
Read and observe
and on page 51 first.
Repeatedly opening and closing the window can cause the window mecha-
nism to overheat and become temporarily blocked. You will be able to operate
the window again as soon as the operating mechanisms has cooled down.
