WARNING
Never program the independent heating sys-
tem t o be activ
ated and operated in closed,
unventilated areas. The auxiliary heater
fumes contain carbon dioxide, an odourless
and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide
can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death. Operating instructions
The auxiliary heater exhaust system located
below the
v
ehicle must be kept clear of snow,
mud and other objects. The exhaust gases
must not be obstructed in any way. The ex-
haust gases generated by the auxiliary heater
are removed via an exhaust pipe fitted under-
neath the vehicle.
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on
the outside temperature the warm air is first
directed at the windscreen and then to the
rest of the vehicle interior through the air
vents. If the air vents are turned towards the
windows, for example, the form of air distri-
bution may be affected.
Depending on the outside temperature, the
temperature at which the auxiliary heater
warms the vehicle interior may be somewhat
higher if the heating or air conditioner tem-
perature control is set to maximum before
switching the heating on.
Depending on the engine, vehicles with aux-
iliary heater may be fitted with a second bat-
tery in the luggage compartment that is re-
sponsible for powering the auxiliary heater.
When will the auxiliary heater will not switch
on?
● The auxiliary heater requires about as
much po w
er as the dipped beam headlights.

Operation
●
Adjus t
your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions.
● Always keep a close eye on the area around
the vehic
le and always look towards where
you are parking. The display shows the path
of the rear end of the vehicle using the cur-
rent steering angle. The front of the vehicle
turns more in comparison with the rear.
● Do not be distracted from the traffic when
looking at
the screen.
● Always observe the area around the vehi-
cle, a
s the cameras do not always detect chil-
dren, animals or objects.
● The system might not show all areas clear-
ly.
● Only
use the rear assist system when the
boot hat
ch is completely closed. CAUTION
● The camer a on
ly displays 2D images on the
screen. Due to the lack of depth, it might be
difficult or impossible to recognise protrud-
ing objects or cracks in the road.
● The cameras may not always be able to de-
tect o
bjects such as thin rails, fences, posts
and trees, etc. This could result in damage to
your car. Instructions for use

Driver assistance systems
DCC continuously adapts the suspension to
the c ondition of
the r
oad and current driving
conditions, according to the pre-set pro-
gramme.
Steering is also adapted in the “Sport” pro-
gramme.
ProgrammeDriving recommendations
“COMFORT” C
Adjust it to the most comfortable set-
ting, for example, driving on surfaces
in poor condition, or making long
trips.
“NORMAL”Balanced setting, suitable, for exam-
ple, for day-to-day use.
“SPORT” SSport setting for sporty style driving Select a program
● Switch the ignition on.
● Press the C S butt
on r
epeatedly until the
desired programme is displayed.
The “NORMAL” programme is active when
neither the C nor S buttons are lit up. WARNING
Switching the dynamic chassis control sys-
tem on whi l
e the vehicle is in motion could
divert your attention from the traffic and
cause accidents. WARNING
Adjusting the suspension can change driving
proper tie
s. Dynamic chassis control must
never lead to any kinds of risk.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions. Note
If the dynamic chassis control does not oper-
ate a s
described in this chapter, go to an au-
thorised workshop and request it be checked. Note
In case of a fault in the dynamic chassis con-
tro l, the b
uttons C and S will so indicate. A
fault could the affect driving comfort. Have
the system checked by a specialised work-
shop. Tyre monitoring systems
Intr oduction The tyre monitor indicator monitors the tyre
pr
e
s
sure of each wheel during driving using
the ABS sensors. The ABS sensors monitor
the tyre tread perimeter and vibrations of
each tyre. The tyre monitor indicator warns
the driver if it detects a considerable drop in
tyre pressure of one or several tyres while driving. Loss of tyre pressure will be indica-
ted by
the indicator as well as an audible
warning and sometimes a text message on
the dash panel display. When you open the
driver door, you will find a label indicating
the tyre pressure recommended by the manu-
facturer for the maximum vehicle load for
each tyre approved for the vehicle in ques-
tion. By pressing the adjustment button on
the tyre monitoring indicator, you may
change the reference pressure for the tyres
so that the tyre pressure coincides with ac-
tual pressure ››› page 233.
Suitable use of the adjustment button
››› page 233. WARNING
Unsuitable handling of the wheels and tyres
ma y
lead to sudden tyre pressure losses, to
tread separation or even to a blow-out.
● Check tyre pressures regularly and ensure
they are m
aintained at the pressures indica-
ted. If the tyre pressure is too low, the tyres
could overheat, resulting in tread detachment
or even burst tyres.
● Tyre pressure should be that indicated on
the label when the ty
res are cold at all times
››› page 288.
● Regularly check the cold inflation pressure
of the tyr
es. If necessary, change the tyre
pressure of the vehicle tyres while they are
cold. » 231
