justing knob to the R position.
Auto-dimming outside mirror on the driver side
Some models are equipped with an auto-dimming outside mirror,
which is controlled together with the auto-dimming inside mirror ⇒ 
Inside mirror.
Memory for front passenger side mirror (when backing up)
On vehicles equipped with memory seats ⇒ page 136, Memory seats,
the passenger side mirror settings for backing up can be stored as
follows:
Choose the remote control vehicle key that will be used with the
settings about to be made.
Unlock the vehicle with that remote control vehicle key.
Set the electronic parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.
Activate the function Mirror down in the Settings - Convenience
menu.
Turn the adjusting knob for the side mirrors to the R position.
Shift the transmission into Reverse (R).
Adjust the passenger outside mirror for a clear view of the curb, for
example.
The adjusted mirror position is automatically stored and assigned
to the vehicle key used to unlock the vehicle. The preselected posi-
tion will be recalled when the key assigned to that mirror adjustment
position is used again.
Recalling passenger side mirror settings
Turn the adjusting knob for the side mirrors to the R position.
Shift the transmission into reverse gear with the ignition switched
on.
The mirror moves back to the regular position when the vehicle
moves forward faster than about 10 mph (15 km/h) or the adjusting
knob is turned to the O or L position.

WARNING
Improper use of the folding outside mirrors can cause personal
injury.
Always make sure that nobody is in the way when folding the
mirrors in or out.
Make sure that you do not get your finger caught between the
mirror and the mirror base when moving the mirrors.
WARNING
Incorrectly estimating distances with the right outside mirror
can cause collisions and serious injury.
The right outside mirror has a convex (curved) surface. This
widens your field of vision. But vehicles or other objects seen
in a convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they
really are.
If you use the right outside mirror to judge distances from
vehicles behind you when changing lanes, you could estimate
incorrectly and cause a crash and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the inside mirror to more accurately
judge distance and size of vehicles or other objects seen in the
convex mirror.
Always make sure you have a clear view to the rear of the ve-
hicle.
NOTICE
Always fold in the outside mirrors when taking the vehicle
through an automatic car wash.
Never fold power mirrors in manually because doing so could
damage the electrical drive.
To reduce fuel consumption, use outside mirror heating only
when needed.
When first switched on, outside mirror heating works with maxi-
mum heat for about 2 minutes.

If power mirror adjustment does not work, the outside mirrors can
be adjusted by hand by pressing on the edges of the mirror surface.

Trailer taillights
Trailer lights must meet all regulations ⇒ Hitching up and connecting
a trailer.
Never connect the trailer lights directly to the electrical system of your
vehicle.
Outside mirrors
If you cannot see the traffic behind you using the regular outside mir-
rors, then you must install extended mirrors. Extended mirrors may
also be required by law in some countries/states/provinces. Always
adjust the outside mirrors before driving. It's vital that you always
have a clear view to the rear of the vehicle.
Maximum power consumption for the trailer
Do not exceed the power ratings listed in the chart below.

Electrical load Maximum power
Brake lights total 108 watts
Turn signals per side 54 watts
Side marker lights total 100 watts
Taillights total 54 watts

WARNING
An improperly installed or incorrect trailer hitch can cause a
trailer to separate from the tow vehicle and cause serious per-
sonal injuries.
If you don't have to tow a trailer any more, remove the entire
trailer hitch. Always seal all bolt holes to prevent water and
deadly exhaust fumes from getting into the vehicle.
NOTICE
If the trailer lights are not connected properly, the vehicle's
electronics may be damaged.

NOTICE
To help prevent vehicle damage in a car wash:
Compare the vehicle track width with the dimensions of the
guide rails in the car wash to help prevent damage to wheel rims
and tires!
Switch off the rain sensor before driving the vehicle through a
car wash ⇒  Rain sensor.
Make sure there is enough clearance for the height and width
of the vehicle.
To help prevent paint damage to the engine hood, place wiper
blades against the windshield after they have dried. Do not let
them snap back into place.
Fold the outside mirrors toward the vehicle body. Do not fold
power folding mirrors manually!
Lock the luggage compartment lid to help prevent uninten-
tional opening in the car wash.
Washing with a power washer

could freeze on the locks and seals and make it difficult to open
the vehicle!
Cleaning windows and outside mirrors

Removing ice
The best way to remove ice is with a deicer spray. When using an ice
scraper always scrape in one direction, never back and forth. Dirt can
scratch the glass when moving the scraper backward.
WARNING
Dirty or fogged up windows reduce visibility and increase the
risk of accidents and severe injuries.
Don't drive until you have clear visibility through all windows.
Remove ice, snow and condensation from all inside and out-
side window surfaces.
NOTICE
Never mix recommended cleaning agents with other cleaning
agents in the windshield washer reservoir. If you do, this could
cause sediments or other by-products that can clog the wind-
shield wiper nozzles.
Never use warm or hot water to remove snow and ice from
windows and mirrors. This could cause the glass to crack!
The heating elements for the rear defroster are on the inside of
the rear window. Do not put stickers over the heating elements
on the inside of the rear window and never clean the inside of
the windows with corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or other
chemicals that could damage the heating elements.
Antennas installed on the insides of windows can be damaged
by abrasive objects or by corrosive or acidic cleaning agents or
other chemicals. Do not place any stickers on the windshield-
integrated antenna and never clean the antenna with corrosive
or acidic cleaning agents or other chemicals.
