In brief19Parking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Activate the parking
brake without pressing the
release button. Apply as firmly
as possible on a downhill slope
or uphill slope. Depress brake
pedal at the same time to
reduce operating force.
● Switch off the engine.
● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P before
removing the ignition key. On
an uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before removing the ignition
key. Turn the front wheels
towards the kerb.
● Close the windows and the sunroof.
● Remove the ignition key from the ignition switch. For vehicles
with automatic transmission,
the key can only be removed
when the selector lever is in
position P.
Turn the steering wheel until
the steering wheel lock is felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle with e on the
radio remote control.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 30.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 179.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low load or run in neutral for approx.30 seconds before switching off, in
order to protect the turbocharger.
Keys, locks 3 20, Laying the vehicle
up for a long period of time 3 178.
Storage75● The load must not obstruct theoperation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 220) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle’s
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
● The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack and the load.

Curve and cornering lights
On tight bends or when turning off,
depending on the steering angle or
the indicator light signal, an additional left or right reflector is switched on
which illuminates the road in the
direction of travel. It is activated up to
a speed of 70 km/h.
Town light
Activated automatically at a speed up to approx. 55 km/h. In situations with
exterior ambient light both cornering lights are switched on with reduced
intensity. The light is wide and
symmetrical.
Country light
Activated automatically at a speed
range between approx. 55 and
180 km/h. The beam of light and the
brightness is different between the left and the right side.
Motorway light Activated automatically at a speed
above approx. 180 km/h and minimal
steering movements. It switches on
after a delay or directly when the vehicle is powerfully accelerated. The
light beam is longer and brighter.
High beam assist
This feature allows high beam to
function as the main driving light at
night and when vehicle speed
exceeds 40 km/h.
It switches automatically to low beam
when:
● The camera or a sensor in the windscreen detects the lights of
oncoming or preceding vehicles.
● The vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h.
● It is foggy or snowy.
● Driving in urban areas.
If there are no restrictions detected,
the system switches back to high
beam.
