[ i J Tips
• If you sw itch off the automatic dimming function on the in side
mirror, autom ati c dimming of the outs ide mirror s will likewise be
di sabled.
• Check to make sure there are no objects preventing light from
reaching the inside mirror.
• Do not attach any sticke rs to the windshield in front of the light
sensor*, as this wou ld interfere with both the automatic operation
of the headlights and the automatic dimming of the inside mirror .
• Be aware that automatic dimming of the inside mirror can on ly
operate proper ly if the rear window sun blind* is retracted .•
Outsid e mirrors
The outside mirrors are electrically adjusted (power
mirrors) .

Depending on the outside temperature, the mirror surfaces are
heated until the ignition is switched off -even if the knob is no
longer in position

You are well -advised to fold the outside mirrors in when maneu ­
vering in tight spaces or when leaving the car parked close to other
vehic les.
Mem ory for e xte rior mirrors *
On vehicles wi th memory for the d river's seat, the cur rent setting for
the ex ter ior mirrors is automatically s tored along wi th the seat posi ­
tion :::}
page 74.
Tilt function f or the passenge r's mirro r* (only w ith
memory for exterior mirrors )
When the reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface t ilt s down­
ward slight ly if the setting is for the passenger's mirror (knob in
pos it ion @ ~ fig. 68) . This allows you to see the curb during parallel
parking.
The mirror returns to its initia l pos ition as soon as reverse gear is
disengaged and vehic le speed is above about 9 mph (15 km/h) . T he
mirro r also returns to its initia l p osition if the swi tch is moved to the
driver's outside mirror© or the ignition is switched off.
I f the position of the mirror surface is changed on a ti lted mirror, this
new pos it ion will be automa tically assigned to the remote key when
the vehicle is taken out of reverse gear.
0 Note
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spherical*) increase your field of
v iew . Remember that vehicles or o ther objects wi ll appear sma ller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mirror. If you use this
mirror t o estimate distances of following vehic les when changing
lanes, you cou ld estimate incorrectly and cause an acc ident. .,.

Moving front seats back
- Press and hold the switch
@ until the seat has reached

To make it easier to enter and leave the rear seat, the seatbacks of
the front seats can be folded forward and the head restraints are
automatically lowered. At the same time, the front seats can be
moved forward and back. When
the front seats are moved forward, their original position is
stored. When it is moved back, the seat automatically stops in this
position . To move the seat even further back, you have to release the
switch
@ and reactivate it.
The head restraints from the front seats, depending on the seat height that has been set, are automatically retracted when the seat ­
backs are folded down. They return to their original position again
when the seatbacks for the front seats are raised.

Child restraints on the front seat - some
important things to know
-Be sure to read the important information and head the
WARNINGS for important details about ch ildren and
Advanced Airbags~
page 213 .
Even though your vehic le is equipped with an Advanced Airbag
System, make certain that a ll children, especia lly those 12 years and
younger , always ride in the back seat proper ly restrained for their
age and size . The airbag on the passenger side makes the front seat
a potentia lly dangerous place for a child to ride. The front seat is not
the safest place for a chi ld in a forward -facing child safety seat. It
can be a very dangerous place for an infant or a child in a rearward ­
facing seat.
The Advanced Ai rbag System in your vehicle has been certified to
comply with the Requirements of United States Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard 208 as applicable at the time your vehicle
was manufactured.
The Standard requires the front airbag on the passenger side to be
turned off ("suppressed") if a chi ld up to about one year of age
restrained in one of the rear-facing or forward-facing infant res traints listed in Federa l Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 with
which the Advanced Airbag System in your vehicle was cert ified has
been insta lled on the front passenger seat. For a listing of the child
restraints that were used to certify compliance with the US Safety
Standard =>
page 215.
The PASS ENGER AIR B AG OFF light in the instrument panel tells you
when the front Advanced Airbag on the passenger side has been
t urned off by the electronic control unit.
Each time you turn on the ignition , the
PASSEN GER AIR BA G OFF
light will come on for a few seconds and:
• will stay on if the front passenger seat is not occupied, •
will stay on if there is a small child or child restraint on the front
passenger seat,
• will go off if the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult as
registered by the weight-sensing mat=>
page 199, "Monitoring the
Advanced Airbag System" .
The
P AS SENGER AIR BAG OFF light comes on when the control unit
detects a tota l weight on the front passenger seat that requires the
front airbag to be turned off.
If the total weight on the front passenger seat is more than that of
a typica l 1 year -old child but less than the weight of a small adult,
the front airbag on the passenger side can deploy (the
PA SSE NGER
A IR BA G OFF
light does not come on). If the P ASSE NGER AIR B AG
O FF
light does not come on, the front airbag on the passenger s ide
has not been turned off by the electronic control unit and can
deploy if the control unit senses an impact that meets the condi ­
tions stored in its memory.
F o r e xample , th e a ir b ag m ay dep loy if:
• a small ch ild that is heavier than a typical 1 year -o ld child is on
the front passenger seat (regardless of whether the child is in one
of the child safety seats listed
=> page 215), or
• a child who has outgrown chi ld restraints is on the front
passenger seat.
If the front passenger airbag is turned off, the
PASSEN GER AIR BA G
OFF
light comes on in the instrument cluster and stays on.
The fron t airbag on the passenger side may
not deploy (the
PA SS ENGER AIR BA G OFF light does not illuminate and stay lit) even
if a small adult or teenager, or a passenger who is no t sitting upright
with their back against a non -reclined backrest with their feet on the
vehic le floor in front of the seat is on the front passenger seat
=> page 170, "Proper seating position for the driver".
If the front passenger airbag deploys, the Federal Standard requires
the airbag to meet the "low risk" deployment criteria to reduce the risk of injury through interact ion with the airbag. "Low risk" d eploy­
ment occu rs in those crashes that take place at lower decelerations .,.
