- The light sensor for the automatic head­
lights* is Located in the mounting for the in­
terior mirror. Do not affix any stickers on
this section of the windscreen.
- Some of the settings for the exterior light­
ing can be adjusted in the driver informa­
tion system.
- A buzzer will sound if you remove the igni­
tion key and open the door when the exteri­
or Lighting is on.
- On vehicles for some markets, the rear
lights switch on together with the daytime
running lights.
- In cool or damp weather, the inside of the
headlights, turn signals or rear lights can
sometimes mist up, due to the temperature
difference between the interior and exterior
of the car. They should clear again partially
or completely soon after you switch on the
headlights. This phenomenon has no influ­
ence on the life expectancy of the vehicle
lights.

air quality sensor, which is designed for the de­
tec tion of diesel and petrol exhaust fumes, au­
tomatically switches the air recirculation mode
on or off depending on the Level of pollution in
the outside air.
In air recirculation mode, the air from the interior
of the vehicle is filtered and recirculated. This
setting prevents fumes etc. from entering the in­
terior. We recommend switching on the air recir­
culation mode when driving through a tunnel or
in traffic

Switching the rear window heating
on/off
If rear window heating is activated with the igni­
tion switched on, the battery management deter­
mines whether or not the battery charge Level is
sufficient for the rear window heating to be
switched on. Otherwise the rear window heating
operates when the engine is running, and
switches off automatically after about
56 10
-20 minutes, depending on the outside tem­
perature.
To switch on the rear window heating permanent­
ly, press and hold the Imo RE A
R! button for at Least
two seconds. This setting will be stored for ap­
proximately 15 minutes after the ignition is
switched off.
A WARNING
For reasons of safety you should not Leave the
air recirculation switched on for too Long. This
mode prevents fresh air from entering the ve­
hicle, so the windows can mist over if the air
cooling is switched off. Bad visibility can cause
an accident.

ror lights up¢ Fig. 96.
The warning lamp on the left-hand mirror assists
the driver when changing lane towards the left
and the warning lamp on the right-hand mirror
assists the driver when changing lane towards
the right.
Information mode
As long as you do not operate the turn signal, the
side assist will merely inform you of the presence
of vehicles that it has detected and judges to be
critical. In this case, the warning lamp on the rel­
evant exterior mirror will light up at low intensi­
ty.
The intensity of the warning lamp in this infor­
mation mode is kept relatively low, so that it
does not distract you while you are looking at the
road in front.
Warning mode
If you operate the turn signal, the side assist will
warn you if it registers what it judges to be a crit­
ical vehicle. In this case, the warning lamp on the
relevant exterior mirror will flash brightly. Please
check the situation in the exterior mirror and by
looking back over your shoulder ¢.&. in General
notes on page 89.
@ Note
You can adjust the brightness of the warning
lamp on the exterior mirror¢ page 90.

In certain cases, a vehicle is judged to be critical
in the event of a lane change even if it is still
some distance away. The faster a vehicle ap­
proaches, the earlier the warning will appear on

change. In all cases, the side assist will give
a warning for the vehicles it has detected at the
latest when they enter the "blind spot".
© Other vehicles being overtaken
When you are overtaking another vehicle slowly,
with a speed differential of less than 15 km/h,
the warning lamp in the exterior mirror will light
up as soon as the other vehicle enters your blind
spot.
If you are overtaking another vehicle quickly, with
a speed differential of more than 15 km/h, the
warning lamp will not light up.
System limitations
The radar sensors are designed for normal lane
widths and monitor the lanes immediately to the
left and right of your vehicle. In certain situations
the warning lamp on one of the exterior mirrors
may light up even if no vehicle is travelling in an
area that could be critical in the event of a lane
change. For example:
- When you are travelling in a narrow lane or
when you are not travelling in the centre of the
lane. In this case the system may monitor an­
other lane and register a vehicle that is not in
fact travelling in an adjacent lane.
- When you are driving into a bend. The side as­
sist may react to a vehicle two lanes away.
- If the system detects other objects (such as
crash barriers, etc).
- In poor weather conditions. The functionality of
the side assist is then restricted.
The radar sensors ¢ Fig. 98 must not be obstruc­
ted by stickers, bicycle racks, deposits or any oth­
er substances which could impair the function of
the system. For notes on cleaning, please refer to
¢page 236.
.&_ WARNING
-Always watch the road and the area sur­
rounding the vehicle. The side assist feature
is not a substitute for the full concentration
of the driver. The driver is always responsi­
ble for the safety of lane changes and other
manoeuvres. Driver
assist systems
- In certain situations, the system may not
function properly, or the functionality of the
system may be restricted. For example:
- If other vehicles are approaching very
qui ckly, or if you are overtaking other
vehicles quickly. The warning lamp may
not light up in time.
- In poor weather conditions, such as heavy
rain, snow or road spray.
- If you are travelling in very wide lanes, in
tight bends or over crests. The system may
not detect vehicles in the adjacent lane
because they are outside the area covered
by the sensors.
CD CAUTION
Impacts or damage to the bumper, wheel
arches or underbody can cause misalignment
of the sensors. This can impair the functional­
ity of the system. Have the systems checked
by a qualified workshop.
� Note
The warning lamps on the exterior mirrors
may not be properly visible if tinted foil is af­
fixed to the side windows on the driver's or
passenger's side.
