Important safety notes
G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel can
still be adjusted when there is no key in the
ignition lock. Therefore, do not leave children
unsupervised in the vehicle, as they could
become trapped if the steering wheel is adjus-
ted. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustmen tmechanism is
locked in position .You might otherwise drive
without the steering wheel adjustmen tmech-
anism being locked in position .As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions by an unintentional movement of
the steering wheel and thereby cause an acci-
dent. 90

Problems with the steering wheel heat-
ing
If the steering wheel heating indicator lamp
on the lower left lever of the steering column
is flashing, the steering wheel heating has
switched off automatically. The vehicle's
electrical system voltage is too low because
too many electrical consumers are switched
on.
X
Switch off electrical consumers which you
do not need, such as the rear window heat-
ing or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the
steering wheel heating will switch back on
automatically. EASY-ENTRY/EXIT system
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 someone becoming trap-
ped, stop the adjustment procedure. To halt
the procedure:
R move the switch for steering wheel adjust-
ment in the opposite direction to that in
which the steering wheel is moving.
R press one of the memory function position
buttons.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They could open the driver's door and
thereby unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature and become trapped.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting
in and out of your vehicle easier.
The steering wheel swings upwards when
you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door and KEYLESS-GO is
in position 1
R open the driver's door and the key is in
position 0or 1in the ignition lock i
The steering wheel only moves upwards if
it has not already reached the upper end
stop.
If you insert the key into the ignition lock with
the driver's door closed, the steering wheel is
automatically moved to the previously set
position.
The last position of the steering wheel is
stored after each manual setting or when you
store the setting with the memory function
(Y page 95).
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board com-
puter (Y page 211).
i If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
is triggered in an accident, the steering col-
umn will move upwards when the driver's
door is opened. This occurs irrespective of
the position of the key in the ignition lock.
This makes it easier to exit the vehicle and
rescue the occupants.
The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
only operational after an accident if the
EASY-EXIT/ENTRY feature is activated in
the on-board computer. Mirrors

vehicles driving behind and cause an acci-

i Make sure that the exterior mirrors are
always folded out fully while the vehicle is
in motion, as they may otherwise vibrate.
Resetting the exterior mirrors If the battery has been disconnected or com-
pletely discharged, the exterior mirrors must
be reset
.The exterior mirrors will otherwise
not fold in when you select the "Fold in mir-

position, proceed as follows:
X Vehicles without electrically folding
exterior mirrors: move the exterior mirror
into the correc tposition manually.
X Vehicles with electrically folding exte-
rior mirrors: press the mirror-folding but-
ton (Y page 93) repeatedly until you hear
the mirror engage in position.
The mirror housing is engaged again and

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 roller sun-
blind is extended, the mirror's automatic anti-
dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then blind you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions and,
as a result, you may cause an accident .Inthis
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually.
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. Parking position for the exterior mir-
ror on the front-passenger side
Setting and storing the parking position You can position the front-passenger side
exterior mirror in such a way that you can see

tion.

ror on the driver's side Memory functions
Storing settings
With the memory function, you can store up
to three different settings, e.g. for three dif-
ferent people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
R position of the seat, backrest and head
restraint
R active multicontour seat :seat cushion
length, seat backrest side bolsters, contour
of the backrest, dynamic function level set-
ting 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. They could otherwise become
trapped when adjusting the seat or the steer-
ing 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

pcleaning system
The headlamps are cleaned automatically if
the "Wipe with washer fluid" function is oper-
ated ten times while the lights are on and the
engine is running (Y page 106). When you
switch off the ignition, the automatic head-
lamp cleaning syste mis reset and counting is
resumed from 0. Intelligent Light System
Active light function The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.
Active:
when the lights are switched on. Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active:
R
if you are driving at speeds below
40 km/h, the cornering light function is
activated either by the turn signal or by the
steering wheel being turned.
R if you are driving at speeds between
40 km/h and 70 km/h ,the cornering light
function is activated by the steering wheel
being turned.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds above
40 km/h or switch off the indicator lamp or
turn the steering wheel to the straight-ahead
position.
The cornering light function may remain lit for
a short time, but is automatically switched off
after no more than three minutes. 102
