window wiper blades Read the additional information carefully
›› ›

 page 73.
Perfect windscreen wiper blade condition is
essential for clear vision. Damaged wiper
blades should be replaced immediately.
The windscreen wiper blades are supplied as
standard with a layer of graphite. This layer is
responsible for ensuring that the wipe is si-
lent. If the graphite layer is damaged, the
noise of the water as it is wiped across the
windscreen will be louder.
Check the condition of the wiper blades regu-
larly. If the wipers scrape across the glass ,
they should be changed if they are damaged,
or cleaned if they are dirty ››› .
If thi
s

does not produce the desired results,
the setting angle of the windscreen wiper
arms might be incorrect. They should be
checked by a specialised workshop and cor-
rected if necessary. WARNING
Do not drive unless you have good visibility
through a l

l windows! ●
Cle

an the windscreen wiper blades and all
windows regularly.
● The wiper blades should be changed once
or twice a
year. CAUTION
● Dam aged or dir

ty windscreen wipers could
scratch the glass.
● Never use fuel, nail varnish remover, paint
thinner or simil
ar products to clean the win-
dows. This could damage the windscreen
wiper blades.
● Never move any windscreen wiper by hand.
This c
ould cause damage.
● To prevent damage to the bonnet and the
winds
creen wiper arms, the latter should only
be lifted off the windscreen when in service
position. Note
● The wind s

creen wiper arms can be moved
to the service position only when the bonnet
is properly closed.
● You can also use the service position, for
examp
le, if you want to fix a cover over the
windscreen in the winter to keep it clear of
ice. Towing or tow-starting
Gener a
l

information Read the additional information carefully

 page 70.
Tow-starting means starting the engine of
the vehicle while another pulls it.
Towing means one vehicle pulling another
that is not roadworthy.
If the vehicle comes with the Keyless Access
system, towing is only allowed with the igni-
tion on!
The vehicle battery drains if the vehicle is
towed with the engine switched off and the
ignition connected. Depending on the battery
charge status, the drop in voltage may be so
large, even after just a few minutes, that no
electrical device in the vehicle may work e.g.
the hazard warning lights. In vehicles with
the Keyless Access system, the steering
wheel could lock up. WARNING
If the vehicle has no electrical power, the
brak e light

s, turn signals and all other lights
will no longer function. Do not have the vehi-
cle towed away. Failure to follow this instruc-
tion could result in an accident. 100

Self-help
WARNING
The risk of accidents is high when tow-start-
ing, f or e
xample, the towed vehicle can easily
be driven into the towing vehicle. CAUTION
If there is no oil in the gearbox or no lubricant
in the autom atic

transmission the car may
only be towed with the driven wheels lifted
clear of the road, or transported on a special
car transporter or trailer. CAUTION
Do not tow a vehicle for more than 50 m in at-
tempt t

o start it. There is risk of damage to
the catalytic converter. Note
● Ple a

se observe related legal requirements.
● Switch on the hazard warning lights of both
vehicl
es. However, observe any regulations
to the contrary.
● The tow rope must not be twisted. Other-
wise the fr
ont tow line anchorage could be
pulled off the vehicle. Indications for tow-starting
Vehicle's should not generally be tow-star-
t
ed.
The jump s

tart should be used instead
›››  page 71. For technical reasons, towing the following
vehicl

es is not allowed:
● Vehicles with an automatic gearbox.
● If the vehicle battery is discharged, be-
cause in
vehicles with the Keyless Access
locking and ignition system the steering re-
mains locked and the electronic parking
brake cannot be deactivated nor can the elec-
tronic lock of the steering column be re-
leased if they are activated.
● If the battery is flat, it is possible that the
engine contr
ol units may not operate correct-
ly.
However, if the vehicle must absolutely be
tow-started (in the case of manual gearbox-
es):
● Engage the 2nd or 3rd gear.
● Keep the clutch pressed down.
● Switch on the ignition and the hazard warn-
ing lights.
● Once both

vehicles are moving, release the
clutc
h.
● Once the engine starts, press the clutch
and diseng
age the gear to avoid colliding
with the towing vehicle. Note
The vehicle can only be tow-started if the
electr onic

parking brake and, if appropriate,
the electronic lock of the steering column are deactivated. If the vehicle has no power sup-
ply
or ther

e is an electric system fault, the
engine must be tow-started to deactivate the
electronic parking brake and the electronic
lock of the steering column. 101

Opening and closing
● Loc
k
ing the doors and rear lid prevents ac-
cess from the outside (for safety reasons, e.g.
when stopped at a traffic light).
● The driver door cannot be locked while it is
open. This
avoids the user from forgetting his
key inside the vehicle.
● All doors can be unlocked separately from
inside the
vehicle. To do so, pull the door re-
lease lever once. WARNING
● If the v

ehicle is locked, children and disa-
bled people may be trapped inside it.
● Repeated operation of central locking will
prevent
the central lock button from working
for a few seconds. Then, it can only be un-
locked in case it has been previously locked.
After few seconds, the central locking be-
comes operative again.
● The central lock button is not operative
when the vehic
le is locked from the outside
(with the remote control or the key). Related videos Keyless Access

have the Keyless Access system.
Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle
without actively using its key. To do this, all
that is required is to have a valid vehicle key
in the detection area where you are attempt-
ing to access the vehicle ››› Fig. 143 and to
touch one of the sensor surfaces on the door
handles ››› Fig. 144 ››› .
The v
ehic

le can be unlocked and locked via
the driver door only. When doing so, the re-
mote control key must be no further than ap-
prox. 1.5 m from the door handle.
It does not matter where you carry the key, for
instance whether it is in your jacket pocket or
in a briefcase. »

Operation
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened ag
ain immedi
ately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the driver’s door, the side being un-
locked, or the entire vehicle. The necessary
adjustments can be performed in vehicles
with a driver information system
›››  page 34.
General information
If a valid key is located in the proximity of the
car ››› Fig. 143, the Keyless Access locking
and starting system gives the key entry as
soon as one of the sensor surfaces on the
driver door handle is touched. The following
features are then available without having to
use the vehicle key actively:
● Keyless-Entry: unloc
king the vehicle using
the handle of the front driver’s door or the
softtouch/handle on the rear lid.
● Keyless-Exit: lockin
g the vehicle using the
sensor on the driver door handle.
● Press & Drive: keyle
ss starting of the en-
gine with the starter button ››› page 178.
The central locking and locking systems oper-
ate in the same way as a normal locking and
unlocking system. Only the controls change. Unlocking the vehicle is confirmed with a
double fl

ash of the indicator lights; locking
by a single flash.
If the vehicle is locked and then all doors and
the rear lid are closed leaving the last key
used inside the vehicle and none outside,
the vehicle will not lock immediately. All the
vehicle's indicator lights will flash four times.
The vehicle will lock after a few seconds if
you do not open any door or the rear lid.
The vehicle will lock again after a few sec-
onds if you unlock the vehicle but fail to open
any door or boot hatch.
