Settings
The positions correspond approximately to the following car load. Front seats occupied, boot empty.
All seats occupied, boot empty.
All seats occupied, boot loaded.
Driver seat occupied, boot loaded. CAUTION
Always adjust the headlight range adjustment in such a way that:
■ it does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming traffic;
■ and the range is sufficient for safe driving. Note
■ We recommend you adjust the headlight beam when the low beam is switched
on. ■ Headlights fitted with Xenon bulbs adapt automatically to the load and driving
state of the vehicle (e.g. accelerating, braking) when the ignition is switched on
and when driving. Vehicles which are equipped with Xenon bulbs do not have a
manual headlight range adjustment control. Ð

Additional interior mirror
The additional interior mirror allows the driver a wider field of view of the rear
seats.
Adjusting the angle › Adjust the mirror in direction of arrow to the desired position. WARNING
Concentrate fully at all times on your driving! As the driver you are fully re-
sponsible for the operation of your vehicle. Use the additional interior mirror
only to such an extent that you are in full control of your vehicle at any time. ÐExterior mirror

Inner part of door: Rotary knob
Adjust the rear mirror before commencing to drive so that there is a clear view to
the rear. Heating of the external mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
 » Fig. 41.
The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +20 °C.
Adjusting left and right exterior mirrors simultaneously
› Place the rotary knob into the position
 » Fig. 41. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
The adjustment of both mirrors simultaneously or each individual mirror is possi-
ble in the Information display » table on page 16 in the menu point Mirror adjust. .
Adjusting the right-hand exterior mirror
› Place the rotary knob into the position
 » Fig. 41. The movement of the mirror
surface is identical to the movement of the rotary knob.
Switching off operating control
› Place the rotary knob into the position
 » Fig. 41.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors with the rotary knob
› Place the rotary knob into the position
.
The mirrors are folded back into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position  to a different one.
It is only possible to fold in both exterior mirrors when the ignition is switched on
and at a speed of up to 15
km/h.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors using the remote control key
› If all of the windows are closed, press and hold the lock button 3
» Fig. 13 on
page 30 on the radio remote control for approx. 2

seconds.
The exterior mirrors are folded back into the driving position after opening the
door or switching on the ignition.
Tilting surface of front passenger exterior mirror
On vehicles fitted with the memory function for the driver seat, the surface of the
mirror tilts down slightly when the reverse gear is engaged and the rotary knob is
in the position  » Fig. 41. This provides an aid in seeing the kerb of the pavement
when parking the car.
The mirror returns into its initial position, after the rotary knob is moved out of
the position  and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h. £

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Manually adjusting the front seats 56
Foldable front passenger seat 56
Adjusting front seats electrically 57
Memory function of the power seat 57
Memory function of the remote control key 58
Front seat heating 58
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for:
› safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› a relaxed, fatigue-free body position;
› achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system. WARNING
■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of accident!
■ Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention. ■ As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car. ■ The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system -
risk of injury! ■ Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle. WARNING (Continued)
■ Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 143, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■ The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
■ Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You
will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the
brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
■ It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this mini-
mum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard!
■ Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as they may get caught be-
hind the pedals when driving or applying the braking. You would then no lon-
ger be able to operate the clutch, brake or accelerate.
■ Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident! Note
■ After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle. ■ For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■ When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
will be deleted. Ð

Seats and Stowage

WARNING (Continued)
■ If the front passenger seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be con-
veyed on the outer seat behind the driver.
■ Never transport objects on the seat backrest which was folded forwards,
which: ■ impair driver visibility;
■ make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle, e.g. if they are
placed under the pedals, or could protrude into the driver's zone;
■ could lead to injury to passengers due to a change of direction or braking
manouvre when accelerating sharply. ÐAdjusting front seats electrically
