● If the v

ehicle battery has little or no charge,
or the vehicle key battery is almost or entire-
ly out of charge, it is likely that the vehicle
will not be able to be lock or unlocked with
the Keyless Access system. The vehicle can
be unlocked or locked manually
›››  page 9.
● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa
lt, the correct functioning of the sen-
sors on the door handles may be affected. If
this is the case, wash the vehicle

General
notes The anti-theft alarm system increases vehicle
prot
ection fr

om intruders. The system will ini-
tiate acoustic and optical warning signals
when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatical-
ly when the vehicle is locked using the re-
mote control key or inserting the key in the
driver door. The alarm is activated around 30
seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated
when the remote control unlock button is
pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within
30 seconds after emitting the radio frequen-
cy signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting
the key in the driver door, the ignition must
be switched on within 15 seconds. This deac-
tivates the alarm system. If, during these 15
seconds, the vehicle is not started , the alarm
is triggered .

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

WARNING
● Drivin g thr
ough water, dirt and mud can re-
duce braking capability and prolong the brak-
ing distance – Risk of accident!
● Do not carry out any sudden or strong brak-
ing manoeu
vres after driving through water.
● Clean and dry the brakes as soon as possi-
ble af
ter driving through water by breaking
intermittently. Carry out braking in order to
dry the brakes and clean the brake discs only
if traffic so permits. Do not put other drivers
at risk. CAUTION
● In the event of

driving through water, parts
of the vehicle can be seriously damaged,
such as the engine, gearbox, catalytic con-
verter, suspension or the electrical system.
● Oncoming vehicles that drive through wa-
ter can c
ause waves that exceed your vehi-
cle's permitted level for driving through wa-
ter.
● There may be pot-holes mud or rocks under
the water th
at can hinder or prevent driving
through water.
● Do not drive through salt water. The salt
can cau
se rust. All components that are ex-
posed to salt water must be rinsed immedi-
ately with fresh water. Note
After driving through water we recommend
that

you contact a specialised service for an
inspection. Preventing damage to the vehicle
In order to prevent damage to the vehicle,
tak
e s

pecial care:
● on roads that are in poor condition,
● when mounting kerbs,
● when approaching very steep ramps, etc.,
● with the parts of the vehicle situated on the
low er p

art of the vehicle, i.e. the spoiler, the
exhaust pipe.
This applies especially to vehicles with a very
low suspension (sport) and when the vehicle
is fully loaded. Driver assistance systems

g aid
General information Assorted assistance systems – which vary
depending on the equipment
fitt

ed in the car
– will help you when parking or manoeu-
vring.
The rear parking aid is an audible assistant
that warns about obstacles located behind
the vehicle ›››
page 171.
During parking, Parking System Plus assists
the driver by visually and audibly warning
them about obstacles detected in front and
behind the vehicle ›››
page 172. WARNING
● Alw a

ys pay attention, also when looking
straight ahead, to traffic and the vehicle sur-
roundings. The assistance systems are not a
replacement for driver awareness. When in-
serting or removing the vehicle from a park-
ing space, or when performing similar ma-
noeuvres the driver always assumes the re-
sponsibility.
● Adapt your speed and driving style at all
times t
o suit visibility, weather, road and traf-
fic conditions.
