Mirrors

R
The exterior mirrors fold in automatically as
soon as you lock the vehicle from the out-
side.
R The exterior mirrors fold out again auto-
matically as soon as you unlock the vehicle
and then open the driver's or front-
passenger door.
i If you have activated this function and fold
in the exterior mirrors using button 1, they
will not be folded out automatically. You
can then only fold out the exterior mirrors
using button 1. Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors*
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged and the interior light-
ing is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If the incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance when the rear window blind* is extended, the mirrors' automatic anti-daz-
zle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This
may prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually.
G
Risk of injury
Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an
automatic anti-dazzle mirror breaks.
Electrolyte is an aggressive irritant and
must not be allowed to come into contact
with your skin, eyes or respiratory organs.
If electrolyte comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean
water immediately. Consult a doctor if nec-
essary.
! If electrolyte comes into contact with the
vehicle paintwork, immediately rinse off
the undried liquid completely with clean
water. It will otherwise result in damage to
the paintwork. Parking aid*
The exterior mirror on the front-passenger
side moves into the parking position as soon
as you engage reverse gear.1 Exterior mirror on the driver's side

Starting the engine
G
Risk of accident
Do not keep any objects in the driver's foot-
well. If you use a floormat or carpet in the
driver's footwell, make sure that they are
correctly secured and that there is suffi-
cient clearance for the pedals.
Objects could otherwise get between the
pedals in the event of sudden braking or
acceleration. You may then no longer be
able to brake, change gear or accelerate as
intended. This may result in an accident and
injury. G
Risk of poisoning
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
! Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
i If you depress the brake when starting the
engine, pedal travel will be unusually long
and there will be less pedal resistance. Controls

Air conditioning
152 General notes
2-zone Thermatic controls the temperature of
the vehicle interior and filters out undesirable
substances from the air.
4-zone Thermotronic* controls the tempera-
ture and the humidity of the vehicle interior
and filters out undesirable substances from
the air.
2-zone Thermatic/4-zone Thermotronic* is
only operational when the engine is running.
Optimum operation is only achieved when
you drive with the side windows and sliding/
tilting sunroof* closed. i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the sum-
mer
opening feature (Y page 100). This will
speed up the cooling process and the
desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and completely filters out
pollen. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For
this reason, you should always observe the
interval for replacing the filter, which is specified in the Service Booklet. As it
depends
on environmental conditions, e.g.
heavy air pollution, the interval may be
shorter than stated in the Service Booklet. G
Risk of accident
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up. This may obstruct your view
of the traffic situation, thereby causing an
accident. Controls
