such a
s loose papers, items hanging from
the rear vision mirror (air fresheners), etc. Note
● If the v

ehicle is relocked and the alarm is
activated without the volumetric sensor func-
tion, relocking will activate the alarm with all
its functions, except the volumetric sensor.
This function is reactivated when the alarm is
switched on again, unless it is deliberately
switched off.
● If the alarm has been triggered by the volu-
metric sensor
, this will be indicated by a
flashing of the warning lamp on the driver
door when the vehicle is opened. The flash is
different to the flash indicating the alarm is
activated.
● The vibration of a mobile phone left inside
the vehic
le may cause the vehicle interior
monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors
react to movements and shakes inside the ve-
hicle.
● If on activating the alarm, any door or the
rear lid i
s open, only the alarm will be activa-
ted. The vehicle interior monitoring and the
anti-tow system will only be activated once
all the doors are closed (including the rear
lid). Deactivating the vehicle interior moni-

interior (e.g. by animals) or if the vehicle's in-
clination is changed (e.g. during transport).
You can prevent the alarm from being trig-
gered accidentally by switching off the vehi-
cle interior monitoring and/or tow-away pro-
tection.

able to see you.
● Always use your dipped beam head lights if
it is
raining or if visibility is poor. WARNING
If the headlights are set too high and not
used c orr

ectly, there is a risk of dazzling or
distracting other road users. This could result
in a serious accident.

Lights and visibility
WARNING
● Never driv e w
ith daytime lights if the road
is not well lit due to weather or lighting con-
ditions. Daytime lights do not provide
enough light to illuminate the road properly
or be seen by other road users.
● The rear lights do not come on with the
daytime driv
ing light. A vehicle which does
not have the rear lights on may not be visible
to other drivers in the darkness, in the case
of heavy rain or in conditions of poor visibili-
ty. Turn signal and main beam lever

function can be deactivated in
a specialised workshop. WARNING
Improper or lack of use of the turn signals, or
for g

etting to deactivate them can confuse
other road users. This could result in a seri-
ous accident.
● Always give warning when you are going to
chan
ge lane, overtake or when turning, acti-
vating the turn signal in good time.
● As soon as you have finished changing
lane, ov
ertaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off. WARNING
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause ac-
cident s

and serious injury, as the main beam
may distract or dazzle other drivers. Note
● If the c on

venience turn signals are operat-
ing (three flashes) and the other convenience
turn signals are switched on, the active part
stops flashing and only flashes once in the
new part selected.
● The turn signal only works when the igni-
tion is sw
itched on. The hazard warning
lights also work when the ignition is switch-
ed off. ●
If a tr ai

ler turn signal malfunctions, the
control lamp will stop flashing (trailer turn
signals) and the vehicle turn signal will flash
at double speed.
● The main beam headligh
ts can only be
switched on if the dipped beam headlights
are already on.
● In cold or damp weather conditions, the
headlight

the headlights in time or from turning off al-
together:
● In poorly lit towns with highly reflective
signs.
● Other in

sufficiently lit road users (such as
pedestri
ans or cyclists). ●
On tight bends
and steep slopes (bumps)
and when oncoming vehicles are partially ob-
scured.
● When the drivers of other oncoming vehi-
cle
s (such as a truck) can see over a guard
rail in the centre of the road.
● If the camera is damaged or the power sup-
ply i
s cut off.
● In fog, snow and heavy rain.
● With dust and sand turbulence.
● With loose gravel in the field of vision of
the camera.
● When the fiel

d of vision of the camera is
mist
ed up, dirty or covered by stickers, snow,
ice, etc. WARNING
The convenience features of the main beam
as s

ist should not encourage the taking of
risks. The system is not a replacement for
driver concentration.
● You are always in control of the main beam
and adaptin
g it to the light, visibility and traf-
fic conditions.
● It is possible that the main beam headlight
contro
l does not recognise all driving situa-
tions and is limited under certain circumstan-
ces.
● When the field of vision of the camera is
dirty, c
overed or damaged, operation of the
main beam control may be affected. This also
applies when changes are made to the 142
