34Keys, doors and windowsAlternatively, if the vehicle is
unlocked, open the door using the
exterior handle (depending on model variant). Lift the handle (3) to the
second notch position, then slide the
door backwards using the handle (2)
near the front edge of the door.
Reset
If the door has been opened
manually, the power sliding door
system must be reset.
Open the sliding side door halfway
and move the relevant handle to the
first notch position. The warning light
illuminates in the instrument panel.
Then press the button (1) on the relevant handle.
Move the handle back and forth to
ensure the door actuator motor
operates, then press and hold the
switch on the instrument panel to fully
close the door. The warning light
extinguishes when the system is
reset correctly.
Maintenance
It is the owner's responsibility to have
the drive belt replaced after every
25,000 cycles, and for this purpose a
counter is incorporated in the lower B- pillar. The counter is incremented at
each opening and closing, it is not
possible to reset the counter. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
If the drive belt should fail, the door
may still be opened and closed
manually.
Fault
If a system fault is detected when
unlocking the doors, an audible
warning will sound and the LED in the switch illuminates. Check position of
exterior handle. Reset handle if in the
open position and use key to operate door locks.
Seek the assistance of a workshop if
the fault remains.
Power side step9 Warning
Take care when using the power
side step, particularly in wet and
cold weather conditions.
Customer information239Operating data in the vehicleControl units process data for
operation of the vehicle.
This data includes, e.g.: ● vehicle status information (e.g. speed, movement delay, lateral
acceleration, wheel rotation rate,
"seat belts fastened" display)
● ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor)
As a rule such data is transient, not
stored for longer than an operational
cycle, and only processed on board
the vehicle itself. Control units often
include data storage (including the
vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle
condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.Depending on technical equipment
level, the data stored is as follows:
● system component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status)
● faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,brakes)
● system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggering
of an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems)
● information on events damaging the vehicle
● for electric vehicles the amount of
charge in the high-voltage
battery, estimated range
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services (e.g. repairs,
maintenance), the operating data
saved can be read together with the
vehicle identification number and
used when necessary. Staff working
for the service network ( e.g. garages,
manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. The same
applies to warranty work and quality
assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which is read out,
documents the technical condition of
the vehicle or individual components
and assists with fault diagnosis,
compliance with warranty obligations
and quality improvement. This data,
in particular information on
component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the
vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also uses operating data
from vehicles for product recalls. This
data can also be used to check
customer warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs or at
your request.
