you:
R open the driver's door and the key in the
ignition lock or KEYLESS GO is in position
0or 1.
R remove the key from the ignition lock.
The steering wheel is moved to the last selec-
ted position when you:

puter (Y page 240).
i The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
can only be activated after an accident if
the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is activated

ture is triggered in an accident, the steering
wheel column will move upwards, irrespec-
tive of the key position. This makes it easier
to exit the vehicle or rescue the occupants. Mirrors

memory preset:
R sea tand backres tposition
R driver's side: steering wheel position
R driver's side: position of the exterior mir-
rors on the driver's and front-passenger

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

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.

Risk of accident
At temperatures just above freezing point, the
street may be icy, especially in wooded areas
or on bridges. If you do not adapt your driving
style to the conditions, the vehicle could skid.
For this reason, adapt your driving style and
speed to the weather conditions.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay. On-board computer
Please bear the following in mind
If the ignition is switched on, you can operate
the on-board computer. G
Risk of accident
Only use the on-board computer when road
and traffic conditions permit. You would oth-
erwise be distracted and unable to concen-
trate properly on driving, and could cause an
accident. Multifunction steering wheel
