Fitting and removing the towing

eye

Use the towing eye for towing. The towing
eye is screwed into a threaded socket behind
a cover on the right-hand side of the bumper,
front or rear.

Fitting the towing eye

Take out the towing eye from the foam
block under the floor in the cargo area.

Front: Remove the cover – press the lid.
> The cover pivots around its centre line

and can then be removed.

Rear: Remove the cover – Use a coin, key
or similar to pry the lid out using the mark-
ing.
> Fold out the cover completely and

detach.

4. Screw in the towing eye until it reaches its

end stop.

Screw the eye in firmly. For example,
thread through the wheel bolt wrench

*

 and

use it as a lever.

IMPORTANT

It is important that the towing eye is firmly
screwed into place - right in until it stops.

Removing the towing eye

–

Unscrew and remove the towing eye after
use and return it to its foam block.

Finish by refitting the cover onto the
bumper.

Recovery

For recovery, the car is taken away with the
help of another vehicle.

Call a recovery service for recovery assistance.

The towing eye can be used to pull the car up
onto a recovery vehicle with a flatbed plat-
form.

IMPORTANT

Note that the car must always be transpor-
ted raised up with all the wheels on the
recovery vehicle's platform.

The car's position and ground clearance deter-
mine whether it is possible to pull it up onto a
flatbed platform. If the slope of the recovery
vehicle's ramp is too steep, or if the ground
clearance under the car is inadequate, then
the car may be damaged if you try to pull it up.
The car should then be lifted using the recov-
ery vehicle's lifting device.

WARNING

No one/nothing is allowed to remain

behind the recovery vehicle while the car

pulled up onto the flatbed platform.

Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink

®

, reset all programming or repro-

gram individual buttons.

NOTE

In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink

®

 can be programmed or

used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink

®

 for faster programming and

improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink

®

 buttons should be reset

before programming.

WARNING

While programming HomeLink

®

, the

garage door or gate being programmed

may activate. For this reason, make sure

that nobody is in the vicinity of the door or

gate while programming is in progress. The

car should be outside the garage while a

garage door opener is being programmed.

1. Aim the remote control towards the

HomeLink

®

 button to be programmed and

hold it approx. 2-8 cm (approx. 1-3 inches)
from the button. Do not obstruct the indi-
cator lamp on HomeLink

®

.

Note:

 The ability of some remote controls

to program HomeLink

®

 is improved at a

distance of approx. 15-20 cm (approx.
6-12 inches). Bear this in mind if problems
occur with the programming.

2. Press and hold depressed both the button

on the remote control and the button to be
reprogrammed on HomeLink

®

.

3. Do not release the buttons until the indica-

tor lamp has switched from flashing
slowly (approx. once per second) to either
flashing quickly (approx. 10 times per sec-
ond) or illuminating with a constant glow.
>

If the indicator lamp illuminates with
a constant glow:

 Indication that the

programming has finished. Press the
programmed button twice to activate.

If the indicator lamp flashes quickly:

The device to be programmed to
HomeLink

®

 may have a security func-

tion that requires extra steps. Test by
pressing the programmed button twice
to see whether the programming is
working. Otherwise, continue with the
following steps.

resume the previously saved program-
ming.

Resetting the HomeLink

®

It is only possible to reset all of the HomeLink

®

buttons at the same time, not each button
individually. Individual buttons can only be
reprogrammed.

Sound, media and Internet

The audio and media system consists of
media player and radio. You can also connect
a phone via Bluetooth to use handsfree func-
tions or play music wirelessly in the car.
When the car is connected to the Internet
you can also use apps for media playback.

Overview of audio and media

Control the functions with your voice, steering
wheel keypad or the centre display. The num-
ber of speakers and amplifiers depends on
which audio system the car is equipped with.

System updating

The audio and media system is continuously
improved. It is recommended to download
system updates when new ones are available.

Audio settings

The sound reproduction quality is preset, but
it can be adjusted as well.

The volume is normally adjusted with the vol-
ume control below the centre display or with
the right-hand steering wheel keypad. This
applies, for example, during playback of music,
radio, ongoing phone calls and active traffic
messages.

Sound reproduction

The sound system is pre-calibrated by means
of digital signal processing. This calibration
takes into account loudspeakers, amplifiers,
passenger compartment acoustics, listener
position, etc., for each combination of car
model and audio system. There is also a
dynamic calibration that takes into account
the setting of the volume control and vehicle
speed.
