will see the
Off mapmessage and an arrow.
The arrow shows the compass heading to the
actual destination. The route is highlighted
blue from the nearest road known to the sys-
tem. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road
known to the system, route guidance contin-
ues in the usual way.
Off-road position during route guidance Due to road construction work, for example,
there may be differences between the data
on the digital map and the actual course of
the road. In such cases, the system will tem-
porarily be unable to locate the vehicle posi-
tion on the digital map and thus considers the
vehicle to be in an off-road position. The Off
road message and an arrow indicating the
compass heading to the destination appear in
the display. As soon as the system can assign
the vehicle position to the map again, route
guidance continues in the usual way. Navigation announcements

muted during a telephone call.

Points to remember
G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel can
be adjusted when the key is removed from the
ignition lock. Therefore, do not leave children
unsupervised in the vehicle as they could
become trapped as the steering wheel is
adjusted. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustment mechanism is
locked in position. Otherwise, you might drive
without the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism being locked in position and be distrac-
ted from road and traffic conditions by an
unexpected movement of the steering wheel
and cause an accident.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is not
affected.
When you adjust the steering wheel, make
sure that:
R the steering wheel can be reached with
your arms slightly bent
R you can move your legs freely
R you can see all the displays in the instru-
ment cluster clearly Steering wheel

i The steering wheel heating is switched off
automatically after about 24 minutes. Easy-entry/exit feature
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting
in and out of your vehicle easier. The steering wheel tilts upwards and the driv-
er's seat slides back if you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door when the key is in
the ignition lock or in position 1
i The steering wheel only moves upwards
if it has not already reached the upper end
stop. The driver's seat only moves back-
wards if it is not already in the rearmost
position.
If you insert the key into the ignition with the
driver's door closed, the position of the steer-
ing wheel and the driver's seat will be
changed to the last selected position.
i The adjustment procedure stops when
you begin driving. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea-
ture.
If there is a risk of entrapment by the steering
column, move the steering wheel adjustment
lever or press the position button of the mem-
ory function.
If there is a risk of entrapment by the seat, you
can also cancel the adjustment procedure by
moving the seat adjustment switch. The steer-
ing column and driver's seat* stop moving
immediately.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They could open the driver's door and,
thereby, unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY feature and become trapped.
The last driving position of the steering wheel
or the seat is saved if:
R the ignition is switched off
or
R a memory position is stored.
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature using COMAND

The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT fea-
ture* can only be activated after an acci-
dent if the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is
activated in the on-board computer.
When the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT fea-
ture is triggered in an accident, the steering
wheel column will move upwards irrespec-
tive of the position of the key in the ignition
lock. This makes it easier to exit the vehicle
or rescue the occupants. Mirrors
Exterior mirrors
G
Risk of accident
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects are actually closer than they
appear. You could misjudge the distance from
vehicles driving behind and cause an acci-
dent, e.g. when changing lane. For this rea-
son, make sure of the actual distance from the
vehicle driving behind by glancing over your
shoulder.
The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger
field of vision.
At low outside temperatures the exterior mir-
rors are heated automatically. Adjusting the exterior mirrors
X
Make sure that the key is in position 1or
2 in the ignition lock.
X Press button 2for the right-hand exterior
mirror or button 4for the left-hand exte-
rior mirror.
The indicator lamp lights up in the button
that has been pressed.
X Press adjustment button 1up, down, to
the right or to the left until the exterior mir-
ror is set in a way which provides you with
a good overview of traffic conditions.
See the "Storing settings" section for more
information (Y page 190).
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out
electrically X
Make sure that the key is in position 1or
2 in the ignition lock.
X Briefly press button 3.
Both exterior mirrors fold in or out.
Folding the exterior mirrors in or out
automatically If the corresponding function is activated in
COMAND (Y
page 165):
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 automat-
ically as soon as you unlock the vehicle and
then open the driver's or front-passenger
door
i The mirrors do not fold out if they were
folded in manually. 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. Mirrors

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
position switch 1,2or 3within three sec-
onds until you hear an acknowledgement
tone.
The settings are stored in the selected stor-
age position. Calling up a stored setting
X Press and hold the relevant storage posi-
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
