Limited operation  
The technology in the traffic sign detection  
system cannot change the limits imposed  
by the laws of physics and only works with-  
in the system's limits. Do not let the extra  
convenience afforded by the traffic sign  
detection system tempt you into taking any  
risks when driving. The system is not a re-  
placement for driver awareness.  
The traffic sign detection system has certain  
limitations. The following cases may lead the  
system to operate with limitations or not at  
all:  
Never ignore the messages displayed.  
Stop the vehicle at the next opportunity  
and in a safe place.  
In the case of poor visibility, e.g. in snow,  
rain, fog or intense mist.  
Note  
Adapt your speed and driving style to suit  
visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-  
tions.  
To avoid affecting the correct operation of  
the system, take the following points into  
consideration:  
In cases of dazzling, e.g. caused by head-  
on traffic or by the sun.

Things to note  
When driving with low fuel, the vehicle may  
stall in traffic and cause accidents and se-  
vere injuries.  
If the vehicle is left parked for a long time im-  
mediately after refuelling, the natural gas lev-  
el indicator may not accurately indicate the  
same level shown after refuelling when the  
vehicle is started up again. This is not due to a  
leak in the system, but to a drop in pressure in  
the gas tank for technical reasons after a  
cooling phase just after refuelling.  
If the fuel tank level is too low, fuel could  
reach the engine irregularly, particularly  
when driving up or down slopes.  
The steering system and the driver assis-  
tance systems and brakes do not work  
when the engine is running irregularly or  
switches off due to lack of fuel or an irregu-  
lar supply thereof.

Operation  
Depending on the equipment, the vehicle  
may have the Keyless Access system.  
If the vehicle is not unlocked for an extended  
period, the function is deactivated.  
Unlock and lock the vehicle with  
Keyless Access  
The vehicle can be unlocked and locked via  
the front doors only. When doing so, the re-  
mote control key must be no further than ap-  
prox. 1.5 m away from the door handle.  
Configure the Keyless Access system  
The behaviour of the Keyless Access system  
can be adjusted in the Vehicle settings  
menu of the Infotainment system.  
It does not matter where you carry the key,  
e.g. in your jacket pocket.  
If the Keyless Access function is disabled, its  
operation is limited.  
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.  
Keyless Access is a key-free locking and igni-  
tion system to unlock and lock the vehicle  
without actively using its key. For this, it is only  
necessary that there is a valid vehicle key in  
the detection area corresponding to the at-  
tempted access to the vehicle.

a specialised workshop.  
Always give warning when you are going  
to change lane, overtake or when turning,  
activating the turn signal in good time.  
The main beam headlights can only be  
switched on if the dipped beam headlights  
are already on.  
As soon as you have finished changing  
lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn

Parking light   
In cold or damp weather conditions, the  
headlights, tail lights and turn signals may  
mist up inside temporarily. This is normal  
and in no way effects the useful life of the  
vehicle lighting system.  
The parking lights will only work with the igni-  
tion off. If said light is on, an audible warning  
will sound while the driver door is open.  
WARNING  
Incorrect use of the headlights may cause  
accidents and serious injury, as the main  
beam may distract or dazzle other drivers.  
Switch the ignition off.  
The parking light does not activate auto-  
matically if the left- or right-hand turn sig-  
nal is left on and the ignition is disconnec-  
ted.

Dust and pollen filter  
WARNING  
available when the engine has reached its  
normal running temperature.  
The dust and pollen filter with its activated  
charcoal cartridge serves as a barrier  
against impurities in the air taken into the ve-  
hicle interior.  
Stuffy or used air will increase fatigue and  
reduce driver concentration possibly re-  
sulting in a serious accident.  
Keep the air intake slots in front of the  
windscreen free of snow, ice and leaves to  
ensure heating and cooling are not im-  
paired, and to prevent the windows from  
misting over.  
Never leave the fresh air fan turned off or  
use the air recirculation for long periods of  
time; the air in the vehicle interior will not  
be refreshed.  
The dust and pollen filter must be changed  
regularly so that air conditioner performance  
is not adversely affected.  
The air from the vents flows through the  
vehicle interior and is extracted by slots in  
the luggage compartment designed for this  
purpose. Therefore, you should avoid ob-  
structing these slots with any kind of ob-  
ject.  
If the filter loses efficiency prematurely due to  
use in areas with very high levels of air pollu-  
tion, the filter must be changed more fre-  
quently than stated in the Service Schedule.  
CAUTION  
To replace the pollen filter, always visit a  
service centre.

Programming the auxiliary heater  
Always keep the remote control, keyrings  
with batteries, the spare batteries, button  
batteries and all other batteries over 20  
mm out of reach of children.  
The activation of the parking ventilation for a  
scheduled time is only valid for a single venti-  
lation process. The departure time must be  
for each newly programmed ventilation proc-  
ess.  
On heating the vehicle interior, depending on  
the outside temperature, the warm air is first  
directed at the windscreen and then to the  
rest of the vehicle interior through the air  
vents. Directing the diffusers – towards the  
windows for example – can affect air distribu-  
tion.  
If you suspect that someone may have  
swallowed a battery, seek immediate med-  
ical attention.  
Before programming the departure time, you  
must check that the date and time of the car  
are correctly set.  
CAUTION  
The radio frequency remote control con-  
When the auxiliary heater is not switched  
on  
tains electronic components. Therefore,  
avoid getting it wet and exposing it to  
knocks or direct sunlight.  
When programming a departure time, the car  
automatically calculates, depending on the  
environmental conditions, the necessary op-  
erating time of the parking ventilation.  
The auxiliary heater requires about as  
much power as the dipped beam headlights.  
If the 12-volt battery charge is too low, the  
auxiliary heater switches off automatically  
and cannot be switched on. This avoids prob-  
lems when starting the engine.  
The use of inappropriate batteries may  
damage the radio frequency remote con-  
trol. For this reason, always replace the  
used battery with another of the same volt-  
age, size and specifications.  
WARNING  
Never programme the auxiliary heater so  
that it switches itself on and is running in an  
enclosed space or an area with no ventila-  
tion. The auxiliary heater exhaust fumes  
contain carbon monoxide, an odourless  
and colourless toxic gas. Carbon monoxide  
can cause people to lose consciousness. It  
can also cause death.  
The heating must be activated every time  
For the sake of the environment  
you want to set off. Similarly, the departure  
time must reactivate each time.  
Please dispose of your used batteries
