Mirrors
86ror is set to a position which provides you
with a good overview of traffic conditions.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out
electrically* 1
To fold the exterior mirrors in or out
X Make sure that the key is in position 1or
2 in the ignition lock.
X Briefly press button 1.
Both exterior mirrors fold in or out.
i Make sure that the exterior mirrors are
always folded out fully while the vehicle is
in motion; otherwise, they may vibrate. Resetting the exterior mirrors If the battery has been disconnected or has
become discharged, the exterior mirrors
must be reset. If this is not done, the exterior
mirrors will not fold in when you select the
"Fold in mirrors when locking" function in the
on-board computer (Y
page 133).
X Make sure that the key is in position 1in
the ignition lock.
X Briefly press button 1.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out
automatically* If the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function
is activated in the on-board computer
(Y
page 133),
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 or the interior lighting
is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance if the safety net is fitted, the mir-
ror's automatic anti-dazzle function will not
work.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This
may distract you from the traffic conditions,
and you may thereby cause an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually. Controls

cause an accident. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stationary and do not pull away
until the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism is locked in position. You might oth-
erwise drive without the steering wheel
adjustment mechanism being locked in
position. As a result you could be distracted
from road and traffic conditions by an unex-
pected movement of the steering wheel
and thereby cause an accident.
The steerability of the vehicle is however
not affected.
X Check whether seat 3and the head
restraint are adjusted properly
(Y page 76).
Make sure that:
R you are as far away from the driver's front
airbag as possible
R you are sitting in a normal upright posi-
tion
R you can fasten the seat belt properly
R you have moved the backrest to an
almost vertical position R
you have set the seat angle so that your
thighs are gently supported

Light switch
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, daytime operation of headlamps varies
due to legal and voluntary requirements. In
these countries, the dipped-beam headlamps
are automatically switched on when the
engine is started.
i If you drive in countries in which traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to
the country where the vehicle is registered,
oncoming traffic may be dazzled by the
asymmetrical dipped-beam headlamps.
Have the headlamps changed to symmet-
rical dipped beam when driving in these
countries. You can obtain information
about this from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Controls
