WARNING
If you use openings in the bodywork or
detachable parts as steps, you could:
R slip and/or fall
R damage the vehicle and cause yourself to
fall.
There is a danger of injury.
Always use secure climbing aids, e.g. a suita-
ble ladder.
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 com-
puter (Y page 217).
Position of the steering wheel when the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is active The steering wheel tilts upwards if you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door and KEYLESS-GO is
in position 1
R open the driver's door and the key is in
position 0or 1in the ignition lock
i The steering wheel only moves upwards if
it has not already reached the upper end
stop. Position of the steering wheel for driv-
ing The steering wheel is moved to the previously
set position if:
R the driver's door is closed and
R you insert the key into the ignition lock
or
R you press the Start/Stop button once on
vehicles with KEYLESS-GO
If you close the driver's door with the key
inserted in the ignition lock, the steering
wheel is automatically moved to the previ-
ously set position.
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 (Y page 106).
Crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
triggered in an accident, the steering column
will move upwards when the driver's door is
opened. This occurs irrespective of the posi-
tion of the key in the ignition lock. This makes it easier to exit the vehicle and rescue the
occupants.
The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
only operational if the EASY-EXIT/ENTRY fea-
ture is activated in the on-board computer
(Y page 217). 102
