Operation
Normal temperature
If in norm
al
operations, the diodes light up
until the central zone, it means that the en-
gine has reached operating temperature. At
high outside temperatures and when making
the engine work hard, the diodes may contin-
ue lighting up and reach the upper zone. This
is no cause for concern, provided the control
lamp  does not light up on the instrument
panel digital display.
Heat range
When the LEDs light up in the upper area of
the display and the control lamp  appears
on the instrument panel display, the coolant
temperature is too high ››› page 210. CAUTION
● To en s

ure a long useful life for the engine,
avoid high revs, driving at high speed and
making the engine work hard for approxi-
mately the first 15 minutes when the engine
is cold. The phase until the engine is warm al-
so depends on the outside temperature. If
necessary, use the engine oil temperature*
››› page 207 as a guide.
● Additional lights and other accessories in
front of
the air inlet reduce the cooling effect
of the coolant. At high outside temperatures
and high engine loads, there is a risk of the
engine overheating.
● The front spoiler also ensures proper distri-
bution of the c
ooling air when the vehicle is moving. If the spoiler is damaged this can re-
duce the c
oo

ling effect, which could cause
the engine to overheat. Seek specialist assis-
tance. Fuel level gauge
Fig. 114
Fuel gauge. The fuel gauge
››
›
Fig. 114 operates only
when the ignition is switched on.
The fuel tank has a capacity of approx. 55 li-
tres. When the needle reaches the fuel re-
serve area there are only approximately 7 li-
tres left in the tank. In the general instrument
panel a warning signal lights up  and an
audible signal sounds.
The informative display indicates:
Refuel! Fuel range…km...(miles) CAUTION
Never completely empty the tank! An irregu-
larity in the f

uel supply system can cause ir-
regularities when the engine is running. Un-
burned fuel can reach the exhaust gas sys-
tem, which can cause deterioration of the cat-
alytic converter. Note
● Some v ehic

les come fitted with the fuel
gauge on the general instrument panel.
● The message on the display switches off
only af
ter refuelling and carrying out a short
journey. Control lamps

Operation
●
Alw a
ys make sure all of the windows are
closed on leaving the locked vehicle. Note
● The vehic

le heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle
and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, a
s this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Note
The electric window opening mechanism is
equipped w ith a thermo

stat switch. This may
overheat if the window is opened and closed
repeatedly. This causes the window to lock
temporarily. Once the thermostat switch has
cooled down, the window can be operated
once again. Roll-back function on the electric win-
do
w
s The electric windows are equipped with a
r
o
l

l-back system that reduces risk of injury
when closing windows. If an obstacle is present, the closing mecha-
nism wi

ll stop and the window will roll back a
few centimetres.
If an obstacle prevents closing for the next
10 seconds, the closing mechanism will once
again stop and the window will roll back an-
other few centimetres.
If in the next 10 seconds you attempt to close
the window after it has rolled back the sec-
ond time, only the closing mechanism will be
stopped even if the obstacle is still present.
The roll-back function is still connected.
The roll-back function will only be disconnec-
ted if you once again attempt to close the
window in the following 10 seconds. In this
case, the window will close at full force .
If you wait for a further 10 seconds, the roll-
back function will be once again connected. Lights and visibility

Never drive with only the side lights on! The
side light s

are not bright enough to illumi-
nate the road ahead and to ensure that other
road users are able to see you. Always use
your dipped beam headlights if it is dark or if
visibility is poor. CAUTION
● Use the light s

Operation
After approximately 7 minutes, the heating
dev ic
e of
the rear window switches off auto-
matically. For the sake of the environment
The heated rear window should be switched
off a s

soon as the glass is demisted. By sav-
ing electrical power you can also save fuel
››› page 166. Note
In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
boar d sy

stems, the heated rear window
switches off automatically to ensure enough
power to control the engine ››› page 216, Au-
tomatic disconnection of electrical equip-
ment. Sun visors

sher

s only work when the ignition is
switched on.
The speed of the automatic wipe in case of
rain is automatically adjusted according to
the intensity of the rainfall.
The rear window is wiped once if the wind-
screen wipers are switched on and reverse
gear is engaged.
Fill the windscreen washer fluid ›››
page 212. WARNING
● Mak e s

ure the blades ›››
 page 54 are in
perfect condition for good visibility and safe
driving.
● In cold conditions, you should not use the
wash/w
ipe system unless you have warmed
the windscreen with the heating and ventila-
tion system. The windscreen washer fluid
could otherwise freeze on the windscreen and
obscure your view of the road. CAUTION
● Durin g w

inter, always check that the wind-
screen wiper blades are not frozen to the
glass before each trip or before switching on 128

Operation

. WARNING
The rain sensor may not detect enough rain
to sw it
ch on the wipers.
● If necessary, switch on the wipers manually
when water on the w
indscreen obstructs visi-
bility. Note
Do not put stickers on the windscreen in front
of the r

ain sensor*. This may cause sensor
disruption or faults. Headlight washers*

 page 13
Before beginning any journey, adjust the rear
view mirrors for a good rear visibility. WARNING
● Con v

ex (wide-angle) rear vision mirrors give
a larger field of vision. However, they make
objects appear smaller and further away than
they really are. For this reason, you should not rely on these rear vision mirrors for judg-
ing the di
s

tance of vehicle behind.
● If possible, use the interior rear vision mir-
ror to e
stimate distances to vehicles behind
you. Note
● Ext erior mirr or

s are only heated when the
engine is running.
● Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating sy
stem is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operat
e, the rear vision mirrors can be ad-
justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a
fault
in the electrical rear vision mirror ad-
justment system. 130

Do not use the heated seat if your perception
of p ain and/or t

emperature or that of your
passenger is limited, e.g. due to medication,
paralysis or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes). It
could cause burns on the back, buttocks and
legs that are difficult to heal. If you still want
to use the heated seat, take frequent breaks
on long journeys so that the body can recover
from the trip. Ask your doctor about your par-
ticular situation. CAUTION
● To av oid d

amaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pres-
sure at a single point to the seat cushion or
backrest.
● Do not use the heated seats if nobody is
sitting on them or if
there are items attached
to or lying on them, such as a child seat or a bag, etc. This could lead to a fault in the seat

Operation
During an accident, even small and light ob-
j ects
c
an have so much kinetic energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The
amount of kinetic energy depends on the
speed of the vehicle and the weight of the
object. However, the speed of the vehicle is
the most important factor.
Example: An unsecured object weighing 4.5
kg produces energy corresponding to 20
times its weight in a frontal collision at 50
km/h (31 mph). This means that its weight
reaches around 90 kg. You can imagine the
severity of the injuries that might be sus-
tained if this “projectile” strikes an occupant
as it flies through the vehicle interior. WARNING
● Stor e o

bjects in the luggage compartment
and secure to the fastening points.
● In an accident or sudden manoeuvre, loose
obj
ects in the interior can be flung forward
and possibly injure vehicle occupants or oth-
ers. This risk is even greater if the flying ob-
jects hit a triggering airbag. In this case, any
rebounding objects could injure vehicle occu-
pants. Risk of fatal injuries!
● Take into account that transporting heavy
obj
ects changes the centre of gravity that
could also cause changes in vehicle handling.
Risk of accident! Therefore, always adjust
your speed and driving style to suit these cir-
cumstances. ●
Securin g the lo

ad to the rings using unsuit-
able or damaged straps could lead to injuries
in the event of an accident or sudden braking
manoeuvre. Secure suitable straps safely to
the rings to ensure this does not happen.
● Position the load so it cannot move forward
during a sud
den braking manoeuvre. Risk of
injuries!
● If transporting sharp or dangerous objects
in the spac
e provided when the rear seats are
folded, ensure the safety of the occupant of
the remaining rear seat ››› page 59.
● If the rear seat located alongside a folded
seat i
s occupied, ensure safety, for example,
by placing the load so that it stops the seat
from folding backward in the event of being
hit from behind.
● Never drive with the rear lid open or half-
closed, e
xhaust gases may penetrate into the
interior of the vehicle. Danger of poisoning!
● Never exceed the allowed axle loads or al-
lowed m
aximum weight. Risk of accident!
● Never transport passengers in the luggage
compar
tment! CAUTION
Make sure sharp objects stored in the boot
cannot not

damage the rear window heating
filaments. Note
