The auto-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch on the inside mirror (2) A or   (2) 
B. When auto-dimming is activated, the indicator light (1) is on. 
If the ignition is switched on, the sensor (3) automatically darkens the inside mirror depending on the 
amount of light shining into the vehicle from the rear. 
The auto-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmission into reverse or switch on the 
interior lights or the reading light. 
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windshield or in the vicinity of the auto-dimming inside 
mirror ⇒ . 
  WARNING 
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can cause the auto-dimming inside 
mirror to malfunction, which can result in crashes and serious injuries. 
 x Malfunctions in the auto-dimming function can result in the inside mirror being unable to 
evaluate the exact distance of vehicles in the rear or other objects. 
  If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a sunshade), the auto-dimming 
inside mirror will not work properly or may not work at all. 
Outside mirrors

  WARNING 
Never let a passenger, especially a child, ride on the center armrest. 
  A telephone cradle for the cell phone package may be installed in the upper section of the 
storage compartment ⇒ Booklet Mobile Phone Package. 
  There may be an AUX-IN jack in the center armrest storage compartment ⇒ Booklet Radio, or 
⇒ Booklet Navigation system.

Opening and closing the glove compartment 
If necessary, unlock the glove compartment with the emergency key. It is locked when the key slot is 
vertical. 
To open, pull the handle ⇒ fig. 102. 
To close, push the lid up. 
Opening and closing the Owner's Manual storage compartment 
The storage compartment at the top of the glove compartment is designed to hold the Owner's Manual 
or the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack. 
The Owner's Manual or MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack is located in a storage compartment at the top, which 
can be pulled down to open ⇒ fig. 103 (3). 
The strap  (2) indicates the handle for opening the storage compartment. 
If the vehicle is not equipped with the MDI (MEDIA-IN) jack, always keep the Owner's Manual in this 
storage compartment. To stow the Owner's Manual, place it in the slot with the binding facing the 
inside of the glove compartment door. 
Holders 
Depending on the model, there may be holders for a pen and a notepad in the glove compartment. 
Cooling the glove compartment 
There is an air vent (1) in the back of the glove compartment. Cool air can be directed into the glove 
compartment if the air conditioner is on. Open or close the air vent by turning it. 
  WARNING 
An open glove compartment door can increase the risk of serious injury during sudden 
braking or driving maneuvers or in a crash. 
 x Always keep the glove compartment closed while the vehicle is moving.  
  NOTICE 
Keep the storage compartment with the CD changer (3) closed while the vehicle is moving, 
otherwise the CD changer may be damaged by vibrations.  
  NOTICE 
In some vehicle models, design considerations have made it necessary to have openings in the 
glove compartment behind the Owner's Manual slot, for example. Small items may fall through 
these openings and get behind the instrument panel. This can cause unusual noises and 
damage the vehicle. Never put any small objects in the glove compartment for this reason. 
  Depending on options, a factory-installed CD changer or Media Device Interface (MDI) / 
(MEDIA-IN) may be located in the glove compartment ⇒ Booklet Radio, or ⇒ Booklet Navigation 
system.

When a turn signal is set, unnecessary lines and areas are hidden. 
Orientation lines overview 
Meaning of the orientation lines and areas projected on screen ⇒ fig. 131. All distances of the 
orientation lines refer to a vehicle on a level surface. 
(1) Red: Safety distance. Area up to about 16 inches (40 cm) behind the vehicle on the road. 
(2) Vehicle's width limits. 
(3) Point to change steering angle. 
 When the yellow line touches the curb or any other parking space boundary, the steering wheel 
must be turned in the opposite direction (close-up view). 
(4) The area parallel to the vehicle that is needed for parking. The area shown must fit completely 
into the parking space. 
(5) Parked vehicle at the curb. 
Parking 
 x Position the vehicle about 3 feet (1 meter) away from and parallel to the parking space and shift 
into Reverse. 
 x On the screen of the navigation system, activate Mode 2 for parallel parking. 
 x Back up slowly and steer the vehicle so that the yellow surface on the screen is flush with the side 
boundary of the parking space (such as the curb) and stops short of any obstacle (5), such as another 
vehicle. 
 x Turn the steering wheel as far as it will go into the direction of the parking space and slowly back 
up. 
 x Once the yellow line (3) touches the side of the parking space, for example, a marking or the curb 
(close-up view), turn the steering wheel as far as it will go in the opposite direction. 
 x Continue backing up until the vehicles is positioned in the parking space parallel to the road. If 
necessary, correct the parking position. 
  It may take up to 5 seconds for the area detected by the sensors to be displayed on the factory-
installed radio or navigation system screen.
