Automatic dimming interior mirror*
Switching on the automatic dimming
– Press the button - the warning light lights up ⇒fig. 52.
Switching off the automatic dimming
– Press again the button - the warning light goes out .
If the automatic dimming is switched on, the mirror dims automatically
depending on the light striking the mirror from the rear. The mirror has no
lever on the bottom edge of the mirror. When the interior lights are
switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror always moves back
into the basic position.
Note
•Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the sun screen* for
the rear window is not in use or the light striking the rear of the interior
rear-view mirror is not affected by other objects.
•Do not affix any stickers in front of the light sensor, so that you do not
impair the automatic dimming function or put it out of operation.
Exterior mirror with entry lighting*
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exte-
rior mirror.
The light beam is aimed at the entry area of the front doors after the car is
unlocked.
The light comes on after the doors have been locked or on opening the
front door. The lighting goes out about 30 seconds after the doors are
closed or if the ignition is switched on.
If the doors remain open, the lighting goes out automatically after about
10 minutes provided the ignition is not switched on.

Electrically adjustable rear mirror
The heating of the external mirror functions only when ignition is
switched on.
Heating of the external mirror
– Turn the rotary knob to position
 ⇒ fig. 53 .
Adjusting left and right exte rior mirrors simultaneously
– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror
– Turn the rotary knob to position
. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob. Folding in both exterior mirrors*
– Turn the rotary knob to position
.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror*
When the rotary knob is in position

⇒ fig. 53 and the reverse gear is
engaged, the surface of the mirror tilts down slightly. This provides an aid
in seeing the kerb of the pavement when parking the car.
If you shift out of reverse gear, or switch over to the driver exterior mirror
in position
, the mirror surface on the passenger side moves back into the
original position.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles fitted with a memory for the driver seat, the relevant setting of
the exterior mirror is also stored automatically when the seat position is
stored ⇒page 75.
WARNING
•Convex (curved outward) or a spherical exterior mirrors
increase the vision field. They do, however, make objects appear
smaller in the mirror. These mirrors are only of limited use, there-
fore, for estimating distances to the following vehicles.
•Use whenever possible the interior rear-view mirror, for esti-
mating the distances to the following vehicles.
Caution
If the mirror housing has been shifted out of position as a result of external
force (e.g. striking an object when parking), the mirror must then be folded
in fully with the electric motor. On no account attempt to move the mirror
housing back by hand otherwise proper operation of the mirror mecha-
nism will be affected. This applies only to models fitted with the fold-in
function for -both exterior mirrors*.

•Blower switch in position 1, 2 , or 3;*
•Turn the air distribution control into the position ,*
•Open the air outlet vents 3 and 4,*
•Switch on the cooling system by pressing button ,*
•We recommend setting the air outlet vents 3 and 4 in such a way that
the air flows to the rear over the heads of the occupants. Do not press
button - recirculated air mode.
Fresh air mode - ventilation
•Turn the control dial ⇒page 110, fig. 107 to the left up to the stop,*
•Blower switch in the desired position,*

•Open air outlet vents 3 and 4 ⇒ page 113, fig. 108 ,*
•Switch off the cooling by pressing button ,*
•Switch off the recirculated air mode by pressing button .
Fresh air is also supplied to the rear footwell if you select air outlet vents
5 with the aid of the air distribution control .
Recirculated air mode
In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.
Recirculated air mode prevents polluted air outside the vehicle
from getting into the vehicle, for example when driving through a
tunnel or when standing in a traffic jam.
Switching recirculated air mode on
– Press switch ⇒page 110, fig. 107 the switch symbol

lights up.
Switching recirculated air mode off

Recirculated air mode is switched off automatically or cannot be switched
on, if the air distribution control ⇒page 110, fig. 107 is in position .
WARNING
You should not leave recirculated air mode on over a longer period
of time. “Stale air” may result in fatigue in the driver and occupants,
reduce attention levels and also cause the windows to mist up. The
risk of having an accident increases. Switch recirculated air mode
off as soon as the windows begin misting up.

outflowing air, the blower stages and the air distribution. The system also
takes into account bright sunlight which eliminates the need to alter the
settings manually.
The ECON mode is switched off when pressing button , or .
Please note that, in the ECON mode, the interior temperature cannot be

Caution
•Never attempt to “repair” fuses and also do not replace them with a
fuse of a higher amperage - risk of fire! This may also cause damage at
another part of the electrical system.
•Have the electrical system checked as quickly as possible by a
specialist garage if a newly inserted fuse blows again after a short time.
Note
We recommend that you have these fuses replaced by a specialist
garage.

The power windows and the power seats are protected by automatic
circuit breakers which switch on again automatically after a few seconds
after the overload has been eliminated - e.g. frozen windows.

Changing bulbs
The relevant lamp must always be switched off before a light bulb is
replaced.
Do not take hold of the glass bulb with naked fingers (even the smallest
amount of dirt reduces the working life of the light bulb). Use a clean cloth,
serviette or something similar.
Defect light bulbs should only be replaced with light bulbs of the same
type. The designation is located on the light socket or the glass bulb.
Changing certain bulbs is not something which you can do yourself, but
requires to be done by a specialist. Other parts of the vehicle must be
