Rear lid with sensor-controlled open-

ing (Easy Open).

If there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity of
the rear lid, it is possible to unlock and open
or close it moving one foot in the area of the
sensors located under the rear bumper.

●

Switch the ignition off.

●

Stand in front of the rear bumper, in the

middle.

●

With a brisk movement, bring your foot and

lower leg as close as you can to the bumper.
The lower part of the leg needs to be close to
the upper sensor area and your foot must be
close to the lower sensor area

›››

Fig. 89

●

Quickly remove your foot and lower leg

from the sensor areas

›››

. The rear

lid will be automatically opened.

●

If the rear lid fails to open, repeat the pro-

cedure after a few seconds.

The third brake light flashes once to show the
boot has opened with the Easy Open func-
tion.

The rear lid can be closed with another foot
movement similar to the opening one (provi-
ded a valid vehicle key is in the proximity of
the rear lid).

When closed, the rear lid automatically locks
if the vehicle has been locked beforehand
and there is no valid key inside.

While the rear lid is in motion (either opening
or closing), it can be stopped with another
foot movement similar to the opening one
(provided a valid vehicle key is in the proximi-
ty of the rear lid).

The Easy Open feature is not available or on-
ly has limited availability in the following sit-
uations (examples):

●

If the rear bumper is very dirty.

●

If the rear bumper is wet with salt water, e.g.

after having driven on gritted roads.

●

If the vehicle has been equipped at a later

time with a tow bracket.

In the event of heavy rain, the Easy Open fea-
ture may take a little longer to open the boot
or may deactivate automatically, to avoid the

boot opening by accident, e.g. because of
the running water.

The Easy Open function can be connected
and disconnected permanently in the info-
tainment system using the function button

WARNING

If there is a valid key in the proximity of the
rear lid, in some cases the Easy Open func-
tion may be accidentally activated and the
rear lid will open, for example, when
sweeping under the rear bumper, when di-
recting a water jet or high pressure steam
to the area or when carrying out mainte-
nance work or repairs in that area. If acci-
dentally opened, the rear lid could injure
somebody situated in its area of operation
or cause material damage.

●

Therefore, always make sure that there is

no unsupervised valid key in the area near
the rear lid.

●

Before carrying out any maintenance or

repair work on the vehicle, always disable
the Easy Open feature via the infotainment
system.

could cause serious injury to you and third
parties. Make sure that no one is in the path
of a window.

●

If the ignition is switched on, the electric

equipment could be activated with risk of
injury, for example, in the electric windows.

●

The doors can be locked using the re-

mote control key. This could become an
obstacle for assistance in an emergency
situation.

Sunroof

Introduction

The sunroof consists of two glass parts. The
rear part is fixed and cannot be opened. It al-
so has a sun blind.

The sunroof only works when the ignition is
switched on. Once the ignition has been
switched off, you can still open or close the
sunroof for a few minutes provided the driver
door and the front passenger door are not
opened.

WARNING

If the sunroof is used negligently or without
paying due attention, it can cause serious
injury.

●

Open or close the sunroof and the sun

blind only when no one is in their path of
movement.

●

Never leave any key inside the vehicle

when exiting.

●

Never leave a child or any other person

who may need help in the vehicle, espe-
cially if they have access to the vehicle
key. If using they key unattended, they
could lock the vehicle, start the engine,
switch on the ignition and activate the sun-
roof.

●

After switching off, it is still possible to

open or close the sunroof during a short
space of time provided that neither the
driver nor passenger door is opened.

CAUTION

●

To prevent damage, during winter tem-

peratures remove any ice or snow that
might be on the car roof before opening the
sunroof or adjusting the tilt position.

●

Before leaving the vehicle or in case of

rainfall, always close the sunroof. With the
sunroof open or in a tilted position, water
can enter the interior and can cause con-
siderable damage to the electrical system.
As a result, other damage can occur in the
vehicle.

111

Operation

Note

●

Leaves and other loose objects that ac-

cumulate on the sunroof rails should be
regularly cleaned away either by hand or
with a vacuum.

●

If the sunroof does not work correctly, the

anti-trap function will not work either. Con-
tact a specialised workshop.

Improper or lack of use of the turn signals,
or forgetting to deactivate them can con-
fuse other road users. This could result in a
serious accident.

●

Always give warning when you are going

to change lane, overtake or when turning,
activating the turn signal in good time.

●

As soon as you have finished changing

lane, overtaking or turning, switch the turn
signal off.

WARNING

Incorrect use of the headlights may cause
accidents and serious injury, as the main
beam may distract or dazzle other drivers.

Note

●

When you turn the ignition off without

having turned the turn signals off, an
acoustic signal sounds while the driver
door is open. This is intended as a reminder
to switch off the turn signal, unless you wish
to leave the parking light on.

●

If the convenience turn signals are oper-

ating (three flashes) and the other conven-
ience turn signals are switched on, the ac-
tive part stops flashing and only flashes
once in the new part selected.

●

The turn signal only works when the igni-

tion is switched on. The hazard warning

lights also work when the ignition is switch-

Main beam assist (Light Assist)

The main beam assist automatically prevents
glare from vehicles moving in the opposite di-
rection or ahead in the same direction. In ad-
dition, the main beam assist detects illumina-
ted areas and disconnects the main beam
headlight when passing, e.g. by populated
areas.

The convenience features of the main
beam assist should not encourage the tak-
ing of risks. The system is not a replace-
ment for driver concentration.

●

You are always in control of the main

beam and adapting it to the light, visibility
and traffic conditions.

●

It is possible that the main beam head-

light control does not recognise all driving
situations and is limited under certain cir-
cumstances.

●

When the field of vision of the camera is

dirty, covered or damaged, operation of
the main beam control may be affected.
This also applies when changes are made
to the vehicle lighting system, for example,
if additional headlights are installed.

CAUTION

To avoid affecting the operation of the sys-
tem, take the following points into consid-
eration:

●

Clean the field of vision of the camera

regularly and make sure it is free of snow
and ice.

●

Do not cover the field of vision of the

camera.

●

Check that the windscreen is not dam-

aged in the area of the field of vision of the
camera.

Note

●

The headlight flasher can be turned on

and off manually at any time with the turn
signal and main beam lever

Lights

●

If there are objects that radiate light in

the camera's area of influence, e.g. a port-
able navigation system, this may affect the
operation of the main beam assist system.

Fog lights with cornering light func-
tion

The

cornering

light function is an additional

function to the dipped beam headlights to
improve lighting of the side of the road when
taking a sharp turn at low speed.

The

cornering

light function works when the

dipped beam headlights are already on and
it is activated when driving at speeds below
approximately 40 km/h (25 mph).

●

If the steering wheel is turned or the turn

signal is switched on, the front fog light grad-
ually turns on. After the turn, the

cornering

light function is gradually switched off.

●

When engaging reverse gear, both front fog

lights turn on.

“Coming home” and “Leav-
ing home” function

The “Coming home” and “Leaving home”
function lights up the vehicle’s immediate
proximity when getting into and out of it in the

dark. When switched on, the front position
and dipped beam lights, tail lights and li-
cense plate light come on.

The “Leaving Home” is controlled by a photo-
sensor.

In the vehicle settings menu of the infotain-
ment system you can adjust the duration of
the light switch-off delay, and activate and
deactivate the function.

Hazard warning lights



Fig. 99

Dash panel: hazard warning lights

switch

The hazard warning lights are used to draw
the attention of other road users to your vehi-
cle in emergencies.

If your vehicle breaks down:

1. Park your vehicle at a safe distance from

moving traffic.

2. Press the button to switch on the hazard

warning lights

›››

3. Switch the ignition off.

4. Apply the electronic parking brake.

5. For a manual gearbox, engage 1st gear;

for an automatic gearbox, move the gear
lever to

6. Use the warning triangle to draw the at-

tention of other road users to your vehicle.

7. Always take the vehicle key with you when

you leave the vehicle.

All turn signals flash simultaneously when the
hazard warning lights are switched on. The
two turn signal turn signal lamps





and the

turn signal lamp in the switch



will flash at

the same time. The simultaneous hazard
warning lights also work when the ignition is
switched off.

Emergency braking warning

If the vehicle brakes suddenly and continu-
ously at a speed of more than 80 km/h (50
mph), the brake light flashes several times per
second to warn the vehicles driving behind. If
you continue braking, the hazard warning
lights will come on automatically when the
vehicle comes to a standstill. They switch off
automatically when the vehicle starts to
move again.

WARNING

●

The risk of an accident increases if your

vehicle breaks down. Always use the haz-
ard warning lights and a warning triangle to
draw the attention of other road users to
your stationary vehicle.

●

Due to the high temperatures that the

catalytic converter can reach, never park
in an area where the catalytic converter
could come into contact with highly inflam-
mable materials, for example dry grass or
spilt petrol. This could start a fire.

Note

●

The 12-volt vehicle battery will run down

if the hazard warning lights are left on for a
long time, even if the ignition is switched
off.

Valid for vehicles with a light and rain sensor

and full-LED headlights.

Lights

●

The use of the hazard warning lights de-

scribed here is subject to the relevant stat-
utory requirements.

Dynamic headlight range control

The headlight range is automatically adjus-
ted according to the vehicle load status when
they are switched on.

WARNING

Heavy objects in the vehicle may mean
that the headlights dazzle and distract oth-
er drivers. This could result in a serious ac-
cident.

Driving abroad

The light beam of the dipped beam lights is
asymmetric: the side of the road on which
you are driving is lit more intensely.

When a car that is manufactured in a country
that drives on the right travels to a country
that drives on the left (or vice versa), it is nor-
mally necessary to cover part of the head-
light bulbs with stickers or to change the ad-
justment of the headlights to avoid dazzling
other drivers.

In such cases, the regulations specify certain
light values that must be complied with for

designated points of the light distribution. This
is known as “Tourist light”.

The light distribution of the halogen and full-
LED headlights allows the specific “tourist
light” values to be met without the need for
stickers or changes in the settings.

Note

“Tourist light” is only allowed temporarily. If
you are planning a long stay in a country
that drives on the other side, you should
take the vehicle to an Authorised Technical
Service to change the headlights.

road.

CAUTION

If the ignition is switched off while the wind-
screen wipers are switched on, they com-
plete their wipe and return to the rest posi-
tion. When the ignition is switched back on,
the windscreen wiper will continue to oper-
ate at the same wiping level. Ice, snow and

other obstacles on the windscreen may
damage the wiper and the windscreen wip-
er motor.

●

If necessary, remove snow and ice from

the windscreen wipers before starting your
journey.

●

Do not switch on the windscreen wipers if

the windscreen is dry. Cleaning with the
windscreen wipers while dry can cause
damage.

If you stop the vehicle with the windscreen

wiper in position 1 or 2, it will automatically

change to a lower position speed. The set
speed will be resumed when the vehicle pulls
away.

●

The air conditioner comes on for approxi-

mately 30 seconds in air recirculation mode
when the windscreen washer is activated,

to prevent the smell of the windscreen wash-
er fluid entering the inside the vehicle.

●

When wiping at intervals, the intervals vary

according to the speed. The higher the vehi-
cle speed the shorter the intervals.

Heated windscreen washer jets

The heating only thaws the frozen jets, it does
not thaw the water in the washer hoses.
When the ignition is switched on the heated
windscreen washer jets automatically adjust
the heat depending on the ambient tempera-
ture.
