Manual operation
In the case of an electrical malfunction, you can
unlock the luggage compartment lid with the
key, refer to page35, and slowly open and close
it without sudden movements.
Emergency release
Pull the lever inside the luggage compartment.
This unlocks the luggage compartment lid.
Alarm system
The concept
The vehicle alarm system responds to:
>opening of a door, the hood or the luggage
compartment lid
>movement in the vehicle interior: interior
motion sensor, refer to page38
>changes in the vehicle's tilt if someone
attempts to steal the wheels or tow the
vehicle
>interruptions in battery voltage
The alarm system briefly indicates unautho-
rized tampering:
>with an acoustic alarm
>by switching on
the hazard warning flashers
>by flashing the high beams
Arming and disarming alarm system
When you lock or unlock the vehicle, either with
the remote control or at the door lock, the alarm
system is armed or disarmed at the same time.
When the alarm system is armed, you can also
open the luggage compartment lid with the button on the remote control, refer to
page33. When the luggage compartment lid is
closed, it is relocked and monitored again.
Unlocking via the door lock will trigger the
alarm on some national-market versions.
Pressing the 'Panic mode' button for a longer
period also triggers the alarm, refer to
page33.<
Switching off alarm
>Unlock the vehicle using the remote control,
refer to page32.
>Insert the remote control into the ignition
lock.
Indicator lamp displays
>The indicator lamp below the interior rear-
view mirror flashes continuously: the sys-
tem is armed.
>The indicator lamp flashes after the vehicle
is locked: the doors or luggage compart-
ment lid are not properly closed. Even if you
do not close the door involved, the system
begins to monitor the remaining areas, and
the indicator lamp flashes continuously
after 10 seconds. However, the interior
motion sensor is not activated.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp goes out: no manipulation or
attempted intrusions have been detected in
the period since the system was armed.
>After the vehicle is unlocked, the indicator
lamp flashes until the remote control is
inserted into the ignition lock, but for no
more than roughly 5 minutes: an attempted
entry has been detected in the period since
the system was armed.

Adjusting
46 It will be necessary to return the rear seats
to their standard position before using a
child restraint system, for instance, refer to
page54.<
Seat, mirror and steering
wheel memory
You can store and select two different adjust-
ment settings for the driver's seat, exterior mir-
rors and steering wheel.
With comfort seats, you can also use the mem-
ory to store and recall two seat positions for
each additional seat.
The adjustment of the lumbar support is not
stored in the memory.
Storing
1.Switch on radio ready state or ignition, refer
to page57.
2.Set desired seat position; for driver's seat
also set the exterior mirror and steering
wheel position.
3.Press
MEMORY button:
The LED in the button lights up.
4.Press the desired memory button1 or2:
The LED goes out.
Call-up
Do not request a position from the mem-
ory while the vehicle is moving. There is a
risk of accident from unexpected movement of
the seat or steering wheel.<
Comfort mode
1.With driver's door open after unlocking or
with radio ready state switched on.
2.Briefly press the desired memory button 1
or2.
The adjusting procedure is immediately inter-
rupted when you touch a seat adjustment
switch or one of the memory buttons.
Safety mode
1.With driver's door closed and ignition
switched either on or off.
2.Press the desired memory button 1or2
and maintain pressure until the adjustment
process has been completed.
If you press the
MEMORY button accidentally:
Press the button again; the LED goes out.
Head restraints
A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the
risk of injury to cervical vertebrae in the event of
an accident.
Adjust the head restraint so that its center
is approx. at ear level. Otherwise, there is
increased danger of injury in the event of an
accident. Only remove the head restraint if no
one will be sitting on the seat in question. Rein-
stall the head restraint before transporting any-
one in the seat. Otherwise, the protective func-
tion of the head restraint is unavailable.<
Front: height adjustment
1.Select head restraint, button1.

without temperature distribution.
Active seat ventilation*
Front
The system progresses one step through the
control sequence each time you press the but-
ton.
To switch off:
Press and hold the button.
The maximum setting with three lights is
used for rapid cooling, e.g. if the vehicle
has been parked in the sun. After a short time,
the system automatically shifts down one step
in order to prevent excessive cooling.<
Rear
The operating concept is the same as for the
front seat ventilation.
Active seat for driver*
Active adjustment of the seat cushion's con-
tours reduces muscular tension and fatigue to
help prevent lower back pain.
Press the button to switch on; the LED lights
up.
Mirrors
Exterior mirrors
The mirror on the passenger's side is more
curved than the driver's mirror.
Objects reflected in the mirror are closer
than they appear. Do not estimate the dis-
tance of following traffic based what you see in
the mirror, as this will increase your risk of acci-
dent.<

pressing button3. This is an advantage, e.g. in
car washes and narrow streets, or for moving
mirrors that were manually folded in back into
the correct position.
Before entering an automatic car wash,
fold in the exterior mirrors by hand or with
button3, to prevent them from being damaged
due to the width of the vehicle.<

to the vehicle – such as a curb – when park-
ing, etc.
Deactivating

ger's mirror position, arrow2.
Interior and exterior mirrors,
automatic dimming feature*
Two photocells in the interior rearview mirror
control this function. One is integrated into the
mirror's lens, the other is located offset from
this on the rear of the mirror housing.
For trouble-free operation, keep the photocells

interior rearview mirror and the windshield. Do
not attach any kind of stickers to the windshield
in front of the mirror either.
