If steering wheel heating indicator lamp
0087is
flashing, the steering wheel heating has
switched off automatically. The vehicle's
electrical system voltage is too low because
too many electrical consumers are switched
on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do
not need, such as the rear window
defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the
steering wheel heating will switch back on
automatically. Steering wheel EASY-ENTRY/EXIT

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature.
If there is a risk of someone becoming
trapped, stop the adjustment procedure. To
halt the procedure:
R press the steering column adjustment
button.
R press one of the memory function position
buttons.
The steering column stops moving
immediately.
Do not keep the memory function position
button pressed as this will start the memory
function and set the steering wheel and seat
in motion.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle. They could open the driver's door and
thereby unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature and become trapped. G
WARNING
Let the system complete the adjustment
procedure before setting the vehicle in
motion. All steering wheel adjustment must
be completed before setting the vehicle in motion. Driving off with the steering wheel
still adjusting could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
! Do not activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature, if the seat backrest is reclined too
far backwards. This can damage the front
or rear seats. You must first move the
backrest to a vertical position.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting
in and out of your vehicle easier.
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board
computer (Y page 216).
Position of the steering wheel when the
EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is active The steering wheel moves upwards and
towards the dashboard if:
R
you remove the SmartKey from the ignition
lock or
R you open the driver's door with the
SmartKey in position 0or 1in the ignition
lock.
i The steering wheel only moves upwards
and towards the dashboard if it has not
already reached the upper end stop.
Position of the steering wheel for
driving The steering wheel is moved to the last
selected position when:
R
the driver's door is closed.
R you insert the SmartKey into the ignition
lock.
The last position of the steering wheel is
stored when you switch off the ignition or
when you store the setting with the memory
function ( Ypage 95). 92

0058 and0056 buttons light up.
R Set the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
R Only use the "defrosting" function briefly
until the windshield is clear again. R
Only use "air-recirculation" mode briefly,
e.g. if there are unpleasant outside odors
or when in a tunnel. The windows could
otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn
into the vehicle in air-recirculation mode.
R Use the ZONE function to adopt the
temperature settings on the driver's side
for the front-passenger side as well. The
indicator lamp in the 00D6button goes out. 120
Overview of climate control systemsClimate control
If the coolant temperature is over
248 ‡(120 †), do not continue driving. The
engine will otherwise be damaged.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the
instrument cluster on the right-hand side
(Y page 205).
Under normal operating conditions and with
the specified coolant level, the coolant
temperature may rise to 248 ‡ (120 †). Tachometer
! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
The red band in the tachometer indicates the
engine's overrevving range.
The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the
engine when the red band is reached. Outside temperature display

WARNING
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the road
surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
The outside temperature display is in the
multifunction display (Y page 207).
Changes in the outside temperature are
displayed after a short delay. Speedometer with segments

Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission 276
FeaturesStowage and features
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated remote control to
recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, American
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps, proceed as follows: Integrated remote control in the rear-view mirror
0043 Indicator lamp
004400870085 Transmitter buttons

depressed until the integrated remote
control has been set up successfully.
X At the same time, press transmitter button
0084 of the garage door remote control for
two seconds, then release it for two
seconds, then press it again for two
seconds.
X Repeat this sequence on transmitter
button 0084of the garage door remote

saved.
X If the setup procedure is successful,

If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control 0083(which can usually
be found on the back of the remote
control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280 to 390 MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 0083. This increases the
probability of garage door remote control
0083 sending a strong and more precise
signal to the integrated remote control on
the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold garage door
remote control 0083at varying distances and
angles from the transmitter button which
you are programming. Try various angles at
a distance between 2and 12 inches (5to
30 cm) or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
R If there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using that garage Features
