Safety
moment a vehicle starts moving, a type of en-
er gy call
ed “kinetic ener
gy” starts acting on
both the vehicle and its passengers.
The amount of “kinetic energy” depends on
the speed of the vehicle and on the weight of
the vehicle and of its passengers. The higher
they are, the more energy there is to be “ab-
sorbed” in the event of an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the
speed of the vehicle. If the speed doubles
from 25 km/h (15 mph) to 50 km/h (30 mph),
for example, the corresponding kinetic ener-
gy is multiplied by four.
Given that the passengers of the vehicle in
our example do not have their seat belts fas-
tened, in the event of a collision the entire
amount of the passengers

tions with their respective additional signs. The traffic sign detection system records the

d tr

affic signs in front of the vehicle
with a camera located on the base of the in-
terior mirror and provides information about
speed limits and overtaking prohibitions. Within its limitations, the system also displays
additional signals, such as time-specific pro-
hibitions, signs f

or vehicles towing trailers

Instruments and warning/control lamps
Cool zone. The engine has not r eached
oper ating t
emperature yet. Avoid high en-
gine speeds and stressing the engine if it
has not reached operating temperature.
Normal zone. At high outside tempera-
tures and when making the engine work
hard, the diodes may continue lighting up
and reach the upper zone. This is no
cause for concern, provided the control
lamp does not light up 
Warning area. When the engine is work-
ing hard, especially at high outside tem-
peratures, the diodes may light up in the
warning area.
The coolant temperature gauge only works
when the ignition is switched on.

It lights up red

Operation
It does not matter where you carry the key,
f or inst
ance whether it is in your jack
et pocket
or in a briefcase.
Once the doors have been locked, they can-
not be opened again immediately. This will
enable you to check that the doors are prop-
erly closed.
If you wish, when unlocking, you can unlock
only the corresponding door or the entire ve-
hicle. The necessary adjustments can be per-
formed in vehicles with a driver information
system
