18 In brief

Airbag systemThe airbag system c onsists of several

separate systems.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system will be triggered inthe event of a serious accident involving a

frontal impact and forms safety cushionsfor the driver and front passenger.

The forward movement of the d river andfront passenger is checked and the risk of

injuries to the upper body and head arethereby substantially reduced.

Side airbag system 3The side airbag system triggers when a

side-on collision occurs and provides a

safety barrier for the driver and/or frontpassenger in the respective front doorarea. This reduces th e risk of injury to the

upper body considera bly, in the e vent of aside-impact.

Curtain airbag system 3The curtain airbag system triggers in the

event of a side-on collision and provides a

safety barrier in the head area on therespective side of the vehicle. This reducesthe risk of injury to the head considerably in

the event of a side-on collision.

6 Airbag systems 3 see page 8 1.


24/330

19In brief

Active head restraints 3 at frontseatsIn the event of a rear-impact, the activehead restraints tilt forwards a little. The

head is more effectively supported by thehead restraint and the danger of injuries

caused by whiplash in the neck area isreduced.

Active head restraints are identified by thelettering ACTIVE on the head restraint

guide sleeves.

6 Head restraints see p age 55.

Operating menus in theinformation display 3Menu options are selected using menusand using the buttons/four-way button

6 Travel Assistant3 see page 58.

Adaptive Forward Lighting(AFL) 3On vehicles with Bi-Xenon headlights, AFLimproves illumination of:

z Curves (curve lighting),

z Intersections and tight turns (turnlighting).

Curve lighting

The Xenon light beam pivots based onsteering wheel position and vehicle speed,

from approx. 6 mph (10 km/h).

The headlights shine at an angle of up

to 15 to the right or left o f the direction of

travel.Turn lightingAn add itional light illuminates at certain

steering w heel settings (a fter approx. 90),turn signal settings and spe eds up to

approx. 25 mph (40 km/h).

The light beam pro jects at a 90 angle to

the left or right of the vehicle up to adistance of approx. 30 metres.

Motorway lighting

At higher speeds and continuous straightahead travel, the dipped beamautomatically raises slightly, thereby

increasing headlight range.

6 Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) 3 see page 132.


28/330

23In brief

Parking d istance sensors 3When reverse gear is selected, the parking

distance sensors switch on automatically.

The parking distance sensors ca n also be

activated at speeds of less than 15 mph(25 km/h) by pressing ther button onthe instrum ent panel.

If the vehicle approaches an obstacle to

the front or rear, a series of signals isaudible in the vehicle interior. The interval

between the signals becomes shorter asthe distance is reduced. If the distance is

less than 30 cm, the signal will be

continuous.

6 Parking distance sensors 3 see page 202.

SPORT mode 3To activate

Press the SPORT button. The LED in thebutton illuminates.

SPORT mode is used to changedamping 3 , steer ing 3, throttle applicationand the shifting times and shifting p ointsfor Easytronic 3 and automatictra nsmis sion 3 whilst driving.

Damping and steering 3 b ecome moredirect and provide better contac t with theroad surface. The engine reacts more

quic kly to ac celerator m ovem ents.

With automatic transmission 3, the sh ifttimes are reduced and gear changes occurat higher eng ine speeds (not when cruise

control 3 is active).

6 SPORT mode 3 see page 198.

Tyre pressure monitoringsystem 3The tyre pressure monitoring systemcontinuously monitors the pressure of all

four tyres while the veh icle is being drive n.

A pressure sensor is insta lled in ea ch wheel.

The tyre pressures of the individual tyresare transmitted to a controller, whe re they

are compared.

The current tyre pressures can be

displayed on the Graph ic al InformationDisplay or the Colour Inform ation

Display 3.

Deviating tyre pressures are displayed in

the form of messages on the informationdisplay whilst driving.

Diesel particle filter 3The d iesel particle filter system removespolluting soot particles out of the engine

exhaust gases. The system includes aself-cleaning function that operates

automatically whilst driving. The filter is

cleaned by burning the trapped sootparticles at a high temperature. There maybe an increase in fuel consumption,

exhaust smell, and en gine cooling fanopera tion 3 during the self-cleaningopera tion.

The se lf-cleaning function cannot operate

automatically during certain drivingsituations where the engine does not reach

its normal operating temperature.An example of this would be driving only

short distances in cold weather.

If the filter needs cleaning and recentdriving situa tions did not allow the function

to autom atically operate, then control

indica tor!will flash. If this occurs, thenyou may continue to drive the vehiclenormally. The vehicle will not be damaged

and does not require service.

The self-cleaning function will

automat ic ally operate whilst driving afterthe engine has reached its normal

operating te mperature. Controlindica tor!will continue to flash until theself-cleaning operation is complete. Thismay take up to 20 minutes of driving.

The time will be shorter at higher vehiclespeeds.

The code number of th e electronicimmobiliser is giv en in the Car Pass.

Control indicator for immobiliserControl indicatorA illuminates briefly

when the ignition is sw itched on .

If the control indicator flashes w hen the

the ignition and then repeat the startattempt.

If the control indicatorA continues toflash , try to start the engine using the spare

key and contact a workshop for assistance.

If c ontrol indicatorA illuminates after

the engine is started, there is a fault inthe engine elec tronics or transmission

electronics 3 (see pages 101, 174, 182,192) or there is water in the diesel fuel

Fault

If the central locking system cannot beopera ted with the remote control, it m ay be

due to the following :

z The range of the rem ote control has

been exceeded.

z Remote control b attery voltage is toolow. Battery replacement - see nextcolumn.

z Freq uent, rep eated operation of theremote control outside the reception

range of the vehicle (e.g. too far fromvehicle, rem ote control is then no longer

recognised). Remote controlsynchronisation see end column.

z If the central locking system is

overloaded as a re sult of repeatedop eration at s hort intervals. The powersupply is cut off for a b rief pe riod.

z Interference f rom h igher-power radiowaves from other sources.

To e lim inate the cause o f a fault, werecom mend contacting a workshop for

assistance.

Manual unlocking and locking using the

vehicle key - see page 33.

Remote control battery replacementReplace the battery as soon as the range

of the rem ote control becom es reduced.

Extending the key see page 2 6.

Open the remote c ontrol. Replace thebattery (battery type see page 307),

noting installation position. Close theremote control.

Make sure that you dispose of old batteries
