@ Note
Never drive until the tank is completely emp­
ty. The irregular supply of fuel that results
from that can cause engine misfires. Uncom­
busted fuel will then enter the exhaust sys­
tem. Th is can cause overheating and damage
to the catalytic converter.
Indicator lights
Description
The indicator lights in the instrument cluster
blink or turn on. They indicate functions or mal­

ered by other displays. To show them again, se­
lect the tab for indicator lights and messages us­
ing the multifunction steering wheel
¢ page 17. If there are several malfunct ions,
you can display them one at a time us ing the
thumbw heel.
Some ind icator lights in the d isplay can display in
several colors .

check when you switch the ign ition on. These sys­
tems are marked with a
./ in the following tables.
I f one of these indicator lights does not turn on,

Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Homelink)
Fig. 26 Distance betwee n the radia tor grille and t he re­
mote control transmitter
Programming the button: step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Press both of the outer buttons on the con­
trol unit
c:, page 30, fig. 25 unt il the yellow
LED @turns off and the green
LED (!) blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does
not need to
be repeated again to program the other but­
tons .
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro­
gramming mode is active for five minutes.
S. Go in front of the vehicle with the original re­
mote control transmitter for the system that
you are programming to the control panel button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Hold the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille
¢fig . 26 .
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8 . If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful. If the
emergency flashers only blink one time, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess­
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille .
Opening and closing
9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Home link buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a ro lling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 32 .
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
Start with step 3.
Deleting button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be deleted indi­
vidually. They must be deleted all at once. Repro­
gram the buttons if necessary.
"' Switch the ignit ion on.
"' Press both of the outer buttons on the control
unit until the yellow LED@turns off and the
green LED
0) blinks.
Reprogramming buttons
"' Switch the ignit ion on.
"'To reprogram an individual button, press the
desired button until the green LED
0) turns off
and the yellow LED@starts to blink (after ap­
proximately 20 seconds). Release the button immediately. The programming mode is active
for f ive minutes.
"'Continue w ith step 5 .
(D Tips
-The d istance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the Homelink mod­
ule in the radiator grille
c:, fig. 26 depends
on the system you are programming.
- Depending on the system model, you may need to release the button on the remote
cont rol transmitter while it is programming
and press it again. Hold every position you
try when programming for at least 15 sec­
onds before trying a new position. Keep an
eye on the vehicle turn signals while doing
this.

Light function s
The following light funct ions may be ava ilable
depending on ve hicle equipment and only f unc­
tion when the light switch is in the AUTO posi ­
t ion.
Static cornering light* (vehicles with LED head ­
li ghts) - the corne ring light switches on automat­
i ca lly when the steer ing whee l is turned at acer­
ta in angle at speeds up to approximately 44 mph
(70 km/h) and when the turn signal is activated
at speeds up to approximately 25 mph (40 km/ h) . The area to the side of the veh icle is illum ina t­
ed bette r whe n turn ing .
Highway l ight function * (vehicles with LED head­
li ghts)
-this function adapts the lighting for
highway driv ing based on veh icle speed .
Speed dependent light dist ribution* (vehicles
with LED headlig hts) - the speed dependent light
distribution adapts the light in towns and on
highways or expressways . Intersections can a lso
be illuminated on veh icles w ith a navigat ion sys­
tem*.
& WARNING
- Autom atic headlig hts * are o nly in tended to
assis t the driver. They do not relieve the
driver of responsi bility to check the head­
lights and to t urn them on manually based
on the current light and v is ibility conditions.
For examp le, fog cannot be detected by the
light sensors . So always switch on the low
beams under these weather cond it io ns an d
when dr iv ing in the da rk

wheel will vibrate lightly. In order for this warn­
ing vibration to occur, it must first be switched
on in the Infotainment system. Active lane assist
is ready for operation when the lane marker line
is detected on a t least one side of the vehicle.
The system is design ed for driving on express­
ways and highways and so it only activates at
speeds above approximately 40 mph (65 km/h)
(depending on the market).
Applies to vehicles with side assist* : if you acti­
vate a turn s ignal when active lane assist is ready
and it classifies a lane change as critical because
of vehicles traveling alongside you or approach­ ing you, there will be noticeable corrective steer ­
in g shortly before you leave the lane . This will at­
tempt to keep your vehicle in the lane.
Applies to vehicles without side assist *: the sys­
tem does not warn when it is ready if you activate
the turn signal before crossing the lane marker line. In this case , it assumes that you are chang­
ing lanes intentionally .
A WARNING
- The system warns the driver that the vehicle
is leaving the lane using corrective steer ing.
The driver is always responsible for keeping
the vehicle within the lane.
- The system can assist the driver in keeping
the vehicle in the lane, but it does not drive
by itself. Always keep your hands on the
steering wheel.
- Corrective steering may not occur in certain
situations, such as during heavy braking .
-There may be cases where the camera does
not recognize all lane marker lines . Correc­
tive steering can only take place on the side
of the vehicle where lane marker lines are
detected .
-Other road structures or objects could possi­
bly be identified unintentionally as lane
marker lines . As a result, corrective steering
may be unexpected or may not occur .
8 1l The corrective stee rin g func tion is not avail able in all mar­,..._
~ ket s.
Assistance systems
-The camera view can be restricted, for ex­
ample by vehicles driving ahead or by rain,
snow, heavy spray light shining into the
camera or by dirt on the window . This can
result in active lane assist not detecting the
lane marker lines or detecting them incor­
rectly.
- In certain situations where visibility is low,
the vehicle may switch internally from "ear­
ly " to "late" steering correction
l).
-Under certain conditions such as ruts in the
road, an inclined roadway or crosswinds, the
corrective steer ing alone may not be enough
to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane .
- For safety reasons, act ive lane assist must
not be used when there are poor road and/
or weather conditions such as slippery roads, fog, gravel, heavy rain, snow and the
potential for hydroplaning. Using active lane
assist under these conditions may increase
the risk of a crash.
