Vehicle features and
options
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features that are not necessarily
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the
selected options or country versions. This also
applies to safety-related functions and systems.
When using these functions and systems, the
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.

Safety measures
When switching off the ignition, the transmission
position P is engaged automatically if the selec‐
tor lever position D or R is engaged.
The ignition is switched off automatically in the
following situations while the vehicle is stationary
and the engine is off:
▷ When locking the vehicle, even if the low
beams are switched on.
▷ Shortly before the battery is discharged com‐
pletely, so that the engine can still be started.
▷ When opening or closing the driver door, if
the driver's safety belt is unbuckled and the
low beams are switched off.
▷ While the driver's safety belt is unbuckled
with driver's door open and low beams off.
The low beams switch to parking lights after
some minutes of no use.
