If the alarm has sounded one time, and then
the vehicle is forced open again (for exam­
ple, someone tries to forcibly open a door,
and then tries to force open the rear lid), the
signal will sound once again.
You can also trigger the alarm by pressing
the PANIC switch on your remote control
to alert other people in case of emergency
or when in another difficult situation. The
alarm can be switched off by pressing the
PA NIC switch again.
Warn ing lights
After you lock the vehicle, the warning light
on the window sills will blink quickly first for
30 seconds and will then blink slowly. This
is to let you know that the anti-theft alarm
system is activated, including the interior
move ment sensors.
If the warning lights come on continuously
for about 30 seconds instead of flashing
when the vehicle is locked, this indicates
that the interior movement sensor is defec­
tive.

lustration). The indicator light in the switch
will come on. The indicator light on the win­

Mir rors
Adjust the outside and inside mi rrors before
driving and after adjusting your seat to prop­
er driving position. It is im porta nt for safe
driving that you have good vision to the rear.
Inside dey-night mirror
Manual anti-glare adjustment
Yo u can adjust the day -night mirror from
clear daylight visibility to non-glare visibility
at night by moving the lever at the bottom
of the mirror.
To ensure the best possible antiillare ef­
fect, the lever on the lower edge of the mir­
ror should be pointing forwards when the
basic setting is made.
Daylight driving -lever to front
Night driving -lever to rear.
72 Automatic
anti-glare adjustment•
When the ignition is switc hed on the interior
mirror will darken automatically depending
on the amount of light shinin g into the car
from the rear (e. g. headlights).
When you move the selector lever I gear­
shift lever into Reverse R or when you
switch the interior lights on, the inside mir­
ror will return to its original position (dim­
ming effect off).
The mirror will return to the original position
(i. e. not anti-dazzle) when the selector lever
I gearshift lever is moved to position R. Outside
mirrors
Adjust the outside mirrors so that the side
of your own vehicle can just be seen. This
setting ensures the best possible field of
view, and in addition it serves as an instant
check on the mirror setti ng.
Self-d imming day I night outside
mirrors
The dimming of the outside mirrors is con­
trolled by the inside day I night mirror.
The dimming of the outside mirrors works
only properly and without any interference,
if the rear window shade* is rolled up and I
or the light shining on the inside mirror is not
blocked by other objects.

�W ARNING
• The right hand outside mirror
has a convex (curved) surface. Re­
member that vehicles or other ob­
jects seen in a convex mirror will
appear smaller and farther away
than when seen in a flat mirror. If
you use this mirror to estimate dis­
tances of following vehicles when
changing lanes, you could esti­
mate incorrectly and cause an ac­
cident.
• Whenever possible, use the in­
side mirror to determine the actual
distance and size of vehicles or
other objects seen in the convex
mirror. Adj
usting the outside mirrors
With the ignition on, both outside mirrors
can be adjusted.
Turn the knob to switch over between the
left and right outside mirrors.
L -l eft -hand mirror

A- Folding back both outside mirrors*
It's a good idea to fold the outside mirrors­
for example, when you must park the car in
tight quarters. Press
the knob in the appropriate direction
(arrows) to move the mirror surface.
Note
• If the electrical adjustment of the mirror
should not respond, adjust the mirror by
hand by pushing lightly on the edge of the
mi rror glass.
• At low outside temperatures the heated
outside mirrors are activated automati­
cally when the ignition is switched on.

CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT---------------------
Folding down of the outside
mirror passenger•s side1l
When you move the selector lever I gear­
shift lever into R (Reverse), the outside mir­
ror on the passenger's side will tilt slightly
downwards, provided you have switched to
the right-hand outside mirror.
This makes it possible to see the edge of
the curb when parking your vehicle. The
mirror will return to its original position as
soon as you move the selector lever I gear­
shift lever out of R (Reverse), or if you
switch the remote control back to the driv­
er's outside mirror.
1 l Only on
vehicles with memory for driver's seat.
74 Memory*
The setting of the outside mirrors is auto­
matically stored in the memory for the driv­
er's seat adjustment together with the seat
position.
Memory function for driver's seat and out­
side mirrors see page 81.
Adjust the mirrors os described and then
store this setting together with your seating
position memory.

·---------------------CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT
We recommend that you adjust the driver's
seat as follows:
adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so
that you can easily push the pedals all the
way while keeping your knee slightly
bent.
adjust the seatback so that when you sit
with your back against the seatback, you
can still grasp the top of the steeri ng
wheel.
adjust the steeri ng wheel so that the dis­
tance from the center of your breastb one
to the center of the airbag cover on the
steering wheel must be at least
10 inches (25 em) or more.
See illustration on previous page. �W
ARNING
• Navar sit closer than 10 inches
(25 em) to the steering wheal.
• If you cannot sit more than
10 inches (25 em) from the steer­
ing wheel, we recommend that
you investigate whether adaptive
equipment may be available to
help you reach the pedals and in­
crease your seating distance from
the steering wheal. Front
passenger's seat
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is
unfolding, the adult front seat passenger
must not sit any closer to the instrument
panel than necessary and always properly
wear availaple three point belts.
We recommend that you adjust the passen­
ger's seat as follows:
backrest upright (never reclined)
place your feet on the
floor _in front
of the
passenger's seat
adjust the passenger's seat as far as pos­
sible to the rear of the fore and aft adjust­
ment range.

Retrieving using the
memory buttons
• With the passenger's door open, de­
press and release the desired memory but­
ton. The seat will automatically adjust to the
stored position.
• If the door has been closed, you must
then depress and hold the memory button
until the seat has reached its stored posi­
tion.
Note
You can not reca ll the stored seat adjust­
ment for the front passenger's seat using
the remote control in the master key.
84 Emergency
Off
In an emergency, you can interrupt
any retrieval procedure by
• pressing the '"STOP'" button (see il­
lustration on page 81 and 83). or
• tapping one of the memory buttons.
Pushing the"ON/OFF"button to the OFF
position only switches off the Memory. The
stored settings will not be erased.
It's a good idea to turn the Memory off if the
vehicle is going to be used temporarily by a
driver whose driving position will not be
memorized.
The advantage is that the personal settings
that have already been memorized will re­
main intact and will not change each time
the vehicle is unlocked using the remote
control. Note
The memory function is switched off when
the STOP button is pressed. The word
''OFF" lights up if the headlights are
switched on. However, the programmed
seat, outside mirrors and steering wheel
positions remain stored in the memory.
