Ignition positions

Updated 03/19/2020

The car's electrical system can be set in different levels/positions and in this way make the different functions available.

In order to facilitate the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, the car's electrical system can be set in three different levels – 0, I and II. These levels are described with the denomination "ignition position" throughout the owner's manual.

The following table shows the functions available in each ignition position/level:

Level	Functions
0	Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated1. Power* seats can be adjusted. The power windows can be used. The centre display is started and can be used1. The infotainment system can be used1. In this mode, the functions are controlled by time and are switched off automatically after a short while.
I	Panorama roof, power windows, 12V power socket in the passenger compartment, Bluetooth, navigation, phone, ventilation fan and windscreen wipers can be used. Power seats can be adjusted. 12 V power sockets* in the cargo area can be used. Power is taken from the battery in this ignition position.
II	The headlamps come on. Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds. Several other systems are activated. However, heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after the car has been started. This ignition position consumes a lot of current from the battery and should therefore be avoided!
