If you are driving faster than 47 km/h, you
can no longer fold in the exterior mirrors.
Make sure that the exterior mirrors are
always folded out fully while the vehicle is
in motion, as they may otherwise vibrate.
Resetting the exterio rmirrors 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-
rors when locking" function in the on-board
computer (Y page 240).
X Select key position 1with the Start/Stop
button.
X Briefly press button 0014.
Folding the exterior mirrors in/out
automatically* If the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function
is activated in the on-board computer
(Y
page 240):
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 If you have activated this function and fold
in the exterior mirrors using button 0014, they
will not be folded out automatically .You
can then only fold out the exterior mirrors
using button 0014. 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.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged. G
Risk of accident
If incident light from headlamps is prevented
from striking the sensor in the rear-view mir-
ror, for instance, by luggage piled too high in
the vehicle, 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
as a result, you may cause an accident .Inthis
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually. Parking position for the exterior mir-
ror on the front-passenger side
To make it easier to park, you can set and
store the front-passenger side exterior mirror
position in such a way that you can see the
rear wheel on that side as soon as you engage
reverse gear.
Setting and storing the parking position X
Select key position 2with the Start/Stop
button (Y page 202).
X Engage reverse gear.
X Press button 0002for the exterior mirror on
the front-passenger side.
X Use adjustment button 0015to adjust the
exterior mirror to a position which allows
you to see the rear wheel and the kerb.
The mirror position is saved by the system
and is automatically selected again when
reverse gear is next engaged. Mirrors
