Lights and vision
Avoid using the side lights for long periods
(several hours). If possible, switch the left
or right parking Lights on.
Observe all relevant statutory requirements
when using the lighting systems described

here.

- The light sensor for the automatic
head­

lights*
is Located in the mounting for the in­
terior mirror. Do not affix any stickers on
this section of the windscreen.
- Depending on the export market, the rear
lights on some vehicles may be switched on
together with the headlights when the
day­

time running lights* are activated. On other
vehicles, the rear lights remain off.
-In cool
or
damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals or rear lights can
sometimes mist up, due to the temperature
difference between the interior and exterior
of the car. They should clear again partially
or completely soon after you switch on the
headlights. This phenomenon has no
influ­

ence on the life expectancy of the vehicle

lights.

Turn signal and main beam lever

The
turn signal lever also operates the main
beam headlights, parking lights and headlight

flasher.

A WARNING

The main beam can dazzle other drivers. Risk
of accident! Never use the main beam
head-

Lights or the headlight flasher if they could
dazzle other drivers.
© Note
A buzzer will sound if
you
open the door when
the parking light is on.
Main beam assist
Applies to: vehicles with main beam assist

The
main beam assist automatically switches
the main beam headlights on or off depending
on the surrounding light conditions.
A camera (located in the mounting for the interi­
or mirror) detects light sources from other road

users.
The main beams are activated/deactivated
automatically depending on the position of
vehicles on either side of the
road,
on the road

speed,
and on other traffic and ambient condi­

tions.

Activating the main beam assist
Important: The light switch must be set to AUTO,
the dipped beam headlights must be on and the
main beam assist must be activated on the info­
tainment system

Heating and cooling
Automatic air conditioner
Applies to: vehicles with automatic air conditioner

We
recommend pressing the AUTO button and setting the temperature to 22 °C (72 °F).

The functions can be switched on and off using
the buttons and controlled using the rotary
con­

trols.
The LED in the corresponding button lights
up when the function is switched on.
Automatic air conditioner
The air conditioner is fully automatic, and will
maintain the desired temperature at a constant

level.
When the heater is on, the blower normally
only switches to a higher speed once the coolant
has warmed up sufficiently (this does not apply
to the defrost setting).
AUTO Automatic or "eco" mode*
The automatic mode maintains a constant
tem­

perature inside the vehicle. Air temperature, out­
put and distribution are regulated automatically.
The AUTO mode is switched off immediately
when you operate any of the manual air controls.
The "eco"
mode*1*
is activated if you press the
AUTO button briefly while automatic mode is ac­

tive.
Fuel is saved in "eco" mode* because the
settings respond more passively. The "eco"

mode*
is on when eco appears in the console dis­
play. The "eco" mode* is deactivated when you
press the AUTO button again.

1J
This function is not available on all export versions.
A/C Cooling mode
The air cooling system only works when the blow­
er is switched on. The air cooling mode is switch­
ed on/off when the A/C button is pressed. When
the air cooling is switched off, the air is not
cooled and therefore not dehumidified. The
win­

dows may mist up as a result. The air cooling is
switched off automatically at low outside
tem­

peratures.

#
/ # Temperature
The temperature for the driver's and front pas­
senger's sides can be set separately using
con­

trols ® and @. The temperature can be adjusted
between +16 °C (+60 °F) and +28 °C (+84 °F).
Outside this range, LO or HI will appear on the air
conditioner display. In the two extreme settings
the air conditioner operates continuously with
maximum cooling or heating output, and the
temperature is not regulated automatically.
Synchronisation: By pressing the AUTO button
for 2 seconds, the temperature of the passeng­
er's side can be set to the temperature of the
driver's side. The settings remain synchronised
until the temperature is changed on the passeng­
er's side.

Driving
- The power consumption is
high.

The engine switches off again when the condi­
tions for start/stop mode are once again
fulfil­

led1).

Ignition is switched off automatically
To prevent the vehicle battery from being dis­

charged,
the ignition will be switched off auto­
matically if certain conditions are met. For in­
stance:
- The start/stop system has switched off the en­

gine.

- The vehicle is stationary.
- The driver has left the vehicle.
If the dipped beam headlights are switched on in
this case, the side lights will be turned on in­

stead.
After approx. 30 minutes, or when you
lock the vehicle, the side Lights will be switched

off.

If the start/stop system has not stopped the en­
gine or if
you
have switched off the start/stop
system manually, the engine will continue
run­

ning and the ignition will not be switched off au­
tomatically

A WARNING
Never run the engine in confined spaces. The
exhaust gases are toxic - risk of poisoning!

If
you
select
D

after selecting reverse
gear on a vehicle with automatic gearbox, the
car must have been moving at over 10 km/h
before the system can switch off the engine

again.

Towing a trailer
Tyre pressure
Check the tyre pressures on your car, and adjust
for "full
load"
conditions (refer to the sticker list­
ing the tyre pressures)
^>page
307. It may also
be necessary to adjust the tyre pressures on the
trailer according to the recommendations of the
trailer manufacturer.
Exterior mirrors
Check whether you can see enough of the road
behind the trailer with the standard mirrors. If
this is not the case you should have additional
mirrors fitted. Both exterior mirrors should be
mounted on hinged extension brackets. Adjust
the mirrors to give sufficient vision to the rear.
Headlights
Before starting
a
journey, check the headlight
beam settings with the trailer hitched up. Adjust
the headlight settings if necessary.
On vehicles with halogen headlights, the
head­

light range control must be adjusted, see

tapage
49.
The headlight range control will be adjusted au­
tomatically if your vehicle is equipped with LED
headlights*.
Power supply
To ensure that the engine can be started again
after the ignition is switched off, the power
man­

agement system
^>page
149 controls the distri­
bution of electrical power and gradually switches
off unnecessary electrical equipment. The trailer
is supplied with power during this period. The
power supply to the trailer is interrupted while
the engine is being started.
Removable ball joint coupling
Vehicles with a factory-fitted towing bracket are
equipped with a removable
ball
joint coupling.
This is stored in the spare wheel well or in a sepa­
rate bag on the floor of the luggage compart­
ment, together with the necessary fitting instruc­

tions.

We recommend having the car serviced be­
tween the normal inspection intervals if it
used frequently for towing a trailer.
Trailer stabilisation system
Applies to: vehicles with towing bracket
Trailer stabilisation helps to reduce the risk of
the vehicle skidding when towing a
trailer.

When is the trailer stabilisation
system1'

activated?
Trailer stabilisation is active when the following
requirements are met:
- The ESC must be switched on
^>page
146 and
fully functional (no ESC malfunction).
- The trailer connector must be properly secured
in the vehicle socket.
- The vehicle speed must be higher than approx.
60 km/h.
How trailer stabilisation works
In many cases, the driver can stabilise a swaying
trailer by manually braking the vehicle.
However, if the ESC detects that the trailer is
swaying and this is affecting the towing vehicle,
it will automatically brake the vehicle in order to
stabilise the trailer. The indicator
Lamp Hi
will
flash in the instrument cluster. If possible, do
not turn the steering wheel at this stage.
In order to warn traffic behind you, the brake
lights will come on during this automatic braking

operation.

A trailer may sway quite considerably without the
trailer stabilisation system intervening.
If the system for activating the trailer brake
lights is defective, this will be indicated in the in­
strument cluster display
