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 the incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance, when the rear window blind* is
extended, the mirror's automatic anti-dazzle
function will not operate.
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 manually. Memory function
Storing settings
Using the memory button you can store up to
three different settings, e. g. for three differ-
ent people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
R seat, backrest, head restraint position and
contour of the backrest in the lumbar
region
R active multicontour seat*: activated/deac-
tivated
R multicontour seat*: the side bolsters of the
seat cushion and the backrest as well as
the contour of the backrest in the lumbar
and shoulder regions
R driver's side: steering wheel position
R driver's side: position of the exterior mir-
rors on the driver's and front-passenger
sides G
Risk of injury
The memory function can still be used when
the key has been removed. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. Otherwise, they could become
trapped when moving the seat or the steering
wheel. G
Risk of accident
Only use the memory function on the driver’s
side when the vehicle is stationary. Other-
wise, you could be distracted from the traffic
conditions by the steering wheel and seat
moving of their own accord, and as a result
cause an accident. X
Adjust the seat (Y page 183).
X On the driver's side, also adjust the steer-
ing wheel ( Ypage 187) and the mirrors
(Y page 189).
X Press memory button Mand press storage

onds until you hear an acknowledgement

age position. Calling up a stored setting

tion button 1,2or 3, until the seat, steering
wheel and exterior mirrors are in the stored
position.
i If you release the storage position switch,
the seat, steering wheel and mirror setting
functions stop immediately. The multicon-
tour seat* setting or the lumbar support
adjustment are still carried out. 190

Driving to the final position
1
The lane turns green when the steering
wheel is turned in the right direction.
X Keep the steering wheel turned in that
direction and reverse carefully until you
have reached the final position.
The Parking guidance finished mes-
sage appears in the multi-function display
and a warning tone sounds.
If the rear gap is too small, Park Assist
emits an additional warning tone
(Y page 251). Final position
Depending on the size of the parking space,
you may now be in an angled position in the
parking space. If possible, Parking Guidance
will guide you as far back as possible towards
the rear limit of the parking space.
X
Manoeuvre, if necessary.
X Pay attention to the Park Assist display
(Y page 251). Cancelling Parking Guidance X
Press the Park Assist button in the dash-
board ( Ypage 253).
Parking Guidance is cancelled immediately
and Park Assist is deactivated. No message
appears in the multi-function display.
Parking Guidance is cancelled automatically
if it is no longer possible to guide you into the
parking space, or if a malfunction occurs.
The parking space symbol disappears and the
Parking guidance cancelled message
appears in the multi-function display. Reversing camera*
The reversing camera is an optical parking
aid. It shows the area behind your vehicle in
the COMAND display.
In addition to the camera function, it assists
you by providing guide lines when you are
reversing. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that no persons or animals are in
the manoeuvring range. Otherwise, they
could be injured.
The reversing camera is located in the handle
strip of the boot lid. :

Multi-function display If you activate Night View Assist, the speed
display in the multi-function display changes.
The speed display is shown as a bar at the
bottom edge of the multi-function display.
This line is no longer available for basic
menus. You have to deactivate Night View
Assist if you wish to change a setting using
the buttons on the multi-function steering
wheel. :

Adjusting the brightness of the multi-
function display X
To make brighter or dimmer : make sure
that Night View Assist is activated.
X Turn control knob :to the right or left. Misted up or dirty windscreen If the windscreen in front of the camera is
misted up or dirty on the inside or outside, the
Night View Assist display is affected.

To demist: check the automatic air-condi-
tioning settings (Y page 268) and fold
down the camera cover.
X To clean the windscreen on the inside:
fold down the camera cover and use a soft
cloth to clean the windscreen in front of the
camera. Blind Spot Assist*
Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the area on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you when you change
lanes at speeds above 30 km/h. In each case,
a warning lamp appears in the exterior mirror
as soon as a vehicle is detected in the area
monitored. When you switch on the corre-
sponding turn signal prior to changing lanes,
you receive an optical and acoustic collision
warning. Blind Spot Assist uses two sensors
in the front bumper and four sensors in the
rear bumper. G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and may not
detect all vehicles. Blind Spot Assist does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, could cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
! You must deactivate the radar sensor sys-
tem in certain countries and near radio
telescope facilities. Further information
can be found in the index under "Radar
sensor system".
Vehicles with COMAND and navigation sys-
tem*: you must deactivate the radar sensor 260

elapsed.
X Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.
X Point the garage door's remote control with
the transmitter towards the left-hand side
of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5
to 20 cm.
i The distance between the garage door's

garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.

X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, after programming you must synchronise the remote control integrated
in the rear-view mirror with the garage door
system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.
