Interesting functions
18 In Brief
Picture no: 11600s.tif
Airbag system
The airbag system consists of several
internal systems.
Front airbag system 3
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head
thereby substantially reduced.
Side airbag system 3
Picture no: 18088s.tif
The side airbag system triggers when a
side-on collision occurs and provides a
safety barrier for the driver and/or
passenger in the respective front door
area. This reduces the risk of injury to the
upper body considerably in case of a side
impact.
Airbag System 3 56.
Picture no: 15593t.tif
Operating via the information
display menus
The menu options are selected via the
menus and with the button/four-way
button or the multifunction button of the
infotainment system 3 or via the buttons 3
on the steering wheel. The menu options
appear on the display.
To select with four-way button:
Press four-way button up, down, right or
left.
Selecting with the multifunction button
Picture no: 14034s.tif
(adjuster wheel via the four-way rocker
switch 3 78):
Press and turn multifunction button.
To exit a menu, turn the multifunction
button left or right to Return or Main and
select.
To select with steering wheel buttons 3:
Select menu options via the menus using
the buttons.
Information display 3 77.
Diesel particle filter 3
The diesel particle filter system filters
harmful soot particles out of the exhaust
gases. The system includes a self-cleaning
function that run automatically during
driving. The filter is cleaned by burning off
the soot particles at high temperature. This
process takes place automatically under
set driving conditions and may take up to
25 minutes. Fuel consumption may be
higher during this period. The emission of
smells and smoke during this process is
normal.
Under certain driving conditions, e.g. short
distances, the system cannot clean itself
automatically.
19In Brief
If the filter requires cleaning and previous
driving conditions did not enable
automatic cleaning, control indicator
flashes.

control operation.
Handle the remote control with care,
protect it from moisture and high
temperatures and avoid unnecessary
operation.
23Keys, doors, windows
Fault
If the central locking system cannot be
operated with the remote control, it may be
due to the following:
z Range exceeded.
z Battery voltage of the radio remote
control too low, change battery.
z Frequent, repeated operation of the
remote control outside the reception
range of the vehicle (e.g. too far from
vehicle, remote control is then no longer
recognised). Synchronise the remote
control.
z If the central locking system is
overloaded as a result of repeated
operation at short intervals. The power
supply is cut off for a brief period.
z Interference from higher-power radio
waves from other sources.
