Passive locking
In vehicles with electronic key
system, this feature locks the vehicle
automatically after several seconds if an electronic key has been
recognised previously inside the
vehicle, all doors have then been
closed and the electronic key does
not remain in the interior.
If the electronic key remains in the
vehicle or the ignition is not off,
passive locking will not be permitted and a warning tone sounds three
times.
If there have been two or more
electronic keys in the vehicle and the
ignition was on once, the feature
locks the vehicle if just one electronic
key is taken out of the vehicle.Passive locking can be disabled by
pressing c for a few seconds while
one door is open. It remains disabled

camera sensor for the driver

important that any windscreen

behaviour and/or messages from
these systems.

● Sit with buttocks as far back against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when fully
pressing the pedals. Slide the
front passenger seat as far back
as possible.
● Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on all
sides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
● Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly
bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when turning the steering wheel. Do
not angle the backrest too far
back. We recommend a
maximum rake of approx. 25°.
● Adjust seat and steering wheel in
a way that the wrist rests on top
of the steering wheel while the
arm is fully extended and
shoulders on the backrest.
● Adjust the steering wheel 3 86.
● Adjust the head restraint 3 46.
● Adjust the height of the seat belt 3 56.
● Adjust the thigh support so that there is a space approx. two
fingers wide between the edge of the seat and the hollow of the
knee.
● Adjust the lumbar support so that
it supports the natural shape ofthe spine.
