Key positions - functions at different levels

To enable the use of a limited number of functions with the engine switched off, the car's electrical system can be set in 3 different levels - 0, I and II - with the remote control key. This owner's manual describes these levels throughout using the denomination "key positions".

The following table shows the functions available in each key position/level.

LevelFunctions
0
  • Odometer, clock and temperature gauge are illuminated.
  • Electrically operated seats can be adjusted.
  • The audio system can be used for a limited time - see Audio and media.
I
  • Sunroof, power windows, 12 V socket in the passenger compartment, navigation, phone, ventilation fan and windscreen wipers can be used.

Current consumption loads the starter battery in this key position.

II
  • The headlamps come on.
  • Warning/indicator lamps illuminate for 5 seconds.
  • Several other systems are activated. However, electric heating in seat cushions and the rear window can only be activated after starting the engine.

This key position consumes a lot of current from the starter battery and should therefore be avoided!

Selecting key position/level

  • Key position 0 - Unlock the car - This means that the car's electrical system is at level 0.

To reach level I or II without starting the engine - do not depress the brake/clutch pedal when these key positions are due to be selected.
  • Key position I - With the remote control key fully inserted into the ignition switch1 - Briefly press START/STOP ENGINE.
  • Key position II - With the remote control key fully inserted into the ignition switch1 - Give a long2 press on START/STOP ENGINE.
  • Back to key position 0 - To return to key position 0 from position II and I - Briefly press on START/STOP ENGINE.
