♦ Battery isolator improves crash safety on vehicles with


battery installed in luggage compartment. In an accident,
the airbag control unit triggers a charge disconnecting the
voltage supply cable to the starter. Battery isolation is per‐
formed pyrotechnically, with a very small explosive
charge. To ensure that you do not trigger the charge in‐
advertently when working on the battery or the battery
isolator, you must first unscrew the negative terminal
clamp ⇒ page 4 .
♦ Observe safety measures when working on the battery
isolator ⇒ page 23 .
♦ Observe notes for disposal of battery isolation units
⇒ page 23 .

driver which expands the functions of the cruise control system

h re
hole

(CCS). An ACC vehicle is kept at a convenient adjustable dis‐

spec
tance from a slower vehicle in front by reducing the engine torque
es, in part or in w

t to the co
and operating the brakes if necessary. The status of the ACC
system is influenced by the keys of the adaptive cruise control -
E357- on the steering wheel, the accelerator and brake pedal, the
rrectness of i
selector lever and the internal vehicle interventions of the brake
system.

1.1 Deactivating APP function of wiper mo‐


tor
The windscreen wiper system is equipped with an APP function
(alternating park position).
With the APP function, the wiper is moved up slightly once it has
reached the lowest position. This occurs every second time the
wiper system is switched off.
To fit the motor crank on the wiper motor, it is necessary for the
motor to be in the lowest park position. To ensure this position is
reached, the APP function must be deactivated.

turers:
♦ Hella
♦ Valeo
Installation and removal of the headlights and associated com‐
ponents are the same except for installation and removal of the
control motors and bulbs.
Fault detection and fault display:
The onboard supply control unit has a self-diagnostic function,
which makes fault finding on headlights easier.
For fault finding, use the systems described in chapter “Vehicle
diagnosis, testing and information system” in “Guided Fault Find‐
ing” mode ⇒ page 409 .

py by
co Vo
With conventional “xenon” headlights, the gas discharge bulbs
by lksw
cted agen
only generate the dipped beam. The “bi-xenon” features makes
Prote AG.

it possible to generate both the dipped beam and the main beam
with “one” gas discharge bulb. To achieve this, an electrome‐
chanical adjuster ( left dip beam screen motor - V294- or right dip
beam screen motor - V295- ) uncovers the screened area of the
dipped beam on actuation of the main beam function, thus pro‐
ducing main beam light distribution.
This means that with “bi-xenon” headlights the main beam is al‐
ways automatically adjusted together with the dipped beam.
The main headlights with gas discharge bulbs and cornering lights
do not have an “additional main beam”.
The cornering light system consists of the following functions:
♦ Swivelling main and dipped beams (dynamic cornering light):
at vehicle speeds above 10 kmh with steering input.
♦ Cornering light bulb (static cornering light): when turning into
tight bends (bend radius < 500 m) or when cornering at vehicle
speeds below 50 kmh.
Fault detection and fault display:
The automatic headlight range control, the cornering lights and
onboard supply control systems feature self-diagnosis to facilitate
fault finding for main headlights with gas discharge bulbs.

Installing:
Installation is carried out in the reverse order. When installing ob‐
serve the following:

Note

♦ Do not touch glass bulb when fitting gas discharge bulb. Fin‐
gers leave traces of grease on the glass bulb, which evaporate
when the bulb is switched on and cause the glass bulb to cloud
over.
♦ Ensure that the glass bulb is not stressed mechanically. The
glass bulb is extremely sensitive and is also under a high in‐
ternal pressure.
♦ Avoid looking directly into the collimated beam as the UV rays
from the gas discharge bulb are about 2.5 times greater than
normal halogen bulbs.
♦ When installing bracket together with power output module for
headlight, ensure that seal is seated correctly. The ingress of
water will lead to permanent damage to the headlight.
♦ If a headlight with automatic range control is removed, the ba‐
sic setting of the headlight should always be checked when
reinstalling ⇒ Maintenance ; Booklet 21.1 .

2.8 Dipped beam screen


With conventional “xenon” headlights, the gas discharge bulbs
only generate the dipped beam. The “bi-xenon” features makes
it possible to generate both the dipped beam and the main beam
with “one” gas discharge bulb. To achieve this, an electrome‐
chanical adjuster ( left dip beam screen motor - V294- or right dip
beam screen motor - V295- ) uncovers the screened area of the
dipped beam on actuation of the main beam function, thus pro‐
ducing main beam light distribution.

Function:
The system performs a self-test after the ignition is switched on;
this is completed in less than one second. From this point on‐
wards the control unit is permanently operational and the distance
sensing function is active.
A brief audible signal is given and the warning lamp lights up when
the parking aid system is ready. If a fault is detected, a continuous
audible signal is given for 5 seconds and the parking aid warning
lamp flashes.
The intervals between the warning signals become proportionally
shorter as the distance decreases. At distances of less than 30

The bonding process for the sender retainers in the front and rear
bumper covers is performed in the same manner. The bonding
area on the inside of the bumper cover is marked as a field around
the punched hole to assist in aligning the sender retainer during
the bonding process. Ensure that the material temperature of the
bumper cover and the sender retainer lies between 15 °C and 25
°C.

– Clean the marked bonding areas -1- on the inside of the bump‐
er cover thoroughly with isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol).
– Apply adhesion promoter “Scotchmount 4298” evenly to
marked bonding area -1-
– Allow adhesion promoter to flash-off for approx. 5 minutes.
– Note correct position for bonding sender bracket
⇒ page 306 .
– Peel both protective foils off bonding surface of sender bracket
-2- until a grey surface appears.
– Align sender retainer -2- in marked bonding area -1- so that a
uniform edge of approx. 3 mm is created.

Note

Ensure that the cut-out for the sender connector in the sender
bracket is pointing in the correct direction as shown in the re‐
spective allocation. The sender wiring is too short if the sender
bracket is fitted incorrectly.

– Press sender bracket -2- onto bumper cover for approx. 10


seconds using a high pressure.

14.1 General description
AG.

KESSY (Keyless Entry Start Stop System) controls keyless un‐


locking, locking and starting of the vehicle.
Opening:
The ID sender in the ignition key must be within the detection
range of a locking point (approx. 1.5 metres). The proximity sen‐
sor on the inside of the door handle is activated when the door
handle is touched. The ID sender in the ignition key is read and
the door is immediately unlocked on valid identification. Pulling
the door handle will open the door.
Starting:
The ID sender in the ignition key must be located in the interior of
the vehicle. The ID sender in the ignition key is read when the
start button is pushed into the second detent of the electronic ig‐
nition lock; steering release and start release are authorised in
the event of valid identification.
Starting the engine with the start button in the electronic ignition

vehicle interior.
Locking:
The ID sender in the ignition key must be within the detection
range of a locking point (approx. 1.5 metres). The locking sensor

is activated when the locking sensor on the outside of the door


handle is touched. The ID sender in the ignition key is read and
the vehicle is locked in the event of valid identification.
Ignition key:
The ignition key is designed without a key bit, as, for the first time,
the vehicle is started via a pushing motion not with a turning mo‐
tion. In vehicles equipped with Kessy, the switching processes in
the ignition lock are carried out with a start button. This start button
remains in the ignition lock and only functions together with a valid
ID sender in the radio remote control ignition wage
key.
