The prerequisite for ensuring that the convenience operating feature correctly
is the automatic opening/closing of all windows is operational.
Convenience opening or closing the window using the key in the driver's lock
is only possible within 45 seconds after locking the vehicle.

The electric sliding/tilting roof (abbreviated in the following as 'sliding/tilting
roof') can only be operated when the ignition is turned on and when the out-
door temperature is higher than -20 °C.
The sliding/tilting roof can still be operated for approx. 10 minutes after
switching the ignition off. However, as soon as the driver or front passenger's
door is opened it is no longer possible to operate the sliding/tilting roof.
CAUTION
■ Always close the sliding/tilting roof before disconnecting the battery.■If the battery has been disconnected and reconnected, it is possible that the
sliding/tilting roof does not operate correctly. In this case, turn the rotary
switch to the switch position A
» Fig. 45 on page 62 and push forward for
about 10 seconds.

During the winter it may be necessary to remove any ice and snow in the vicin-
ity of the sliding/tilting roof before opening it to prevent any damage to the
opening mechanism.

of the controls are identical.
Keep the headlights lenses clean. The following guidelines must be ob-
served » page 175 , Headlight lenses .
WARNING■
The activation of the lights should only be undertaken in accordance with
national legal requirements.■
The driver is always responsible for the correct settings and use of the
lights.
65Lights and visibility
WARNING (Continued)■The automatic driving lamp control only operates as a support and
does not release the driver from his responsibility to check the light and, if
necessary, to switch on the light depending on the given light conditions.
The light sensor cannot, for example, detect rain or snow. Under these con-
ditions we recommend switching on the low beam or fog lights!■
Never drive with only the side lights on! The side lights are not bright
enough to light up the road sufficiently in front of you or to be seen by oth-
er oncoming traffic. Therefore always switch on the low beam when it is
dark or if visibility is poor.
Note
The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet surfaces are free from mist after a short period, although
the headlight lenses may still be misted up in the peripheral areas. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.

The instruments are also illuminated when the side light, low or high beam
light is switched on.
WARNINGAlways adjust the headlight beam to satisfy the following conditions.■The vehicle does not dazzle other road users, especially oncoming vehi-
cles.■
The beam range is sufficient for safe driving.
Note
■ We recommend you adjust the headlight beam when the low beam is switch-
ed on.■
The Bi-Xenon bulbs adapt automatically to the load and driving state of the
vehicle when the ignition is switched on and when driving. Vehicles that are
equipped with Bi-Xenon headlights do not have a manual headlight range ad-
justment control.
■
The light switch is in position
or
and the ignition is turned off, the low
beam is switched off automatically and the status light is lit. The side light
goes out after the ignition key is removed.
■
If there is a fault in the light switch, the low beam comes on automatically.
66Operation
If the turn signal light is switched on when the hazard warning light and the
ignition are both switched on, then only the turn signal light on the corre-
sponding vehicle side will flash.WARNINGSwitch on the hazard warning light system if, for example, the following oc-
curs.■
You encounter a traffic congestion.
■
The vehicle has broken down.

71Lights and visibility
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external navigation devices on to the windscreen or in the vicini-
ty of the automatic dimming mirror » page 77,
in section Introduction .
Note
■
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling on
the sensors is not compromised (e.g. by the sun screen back).■
If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror
dimming is also switched off.

Switch off mirror control
Mirror heater
Folding in the exterior mirrors
Adjust the position
The mirror can be adjusted to the desired position by moving the knob in the
direction of the arrow » Fig. 64.
The movement of the mirror surface is identical to the movement of the rotary
knob.
Synchronous adjustment of the mirror
›
Activate the synchronous adjustment of the mirror above the MAXI DOT dis- play in the menu item Mirror adjust. » page 45 , Settings .
›Turn the knob for the mirror control to the position for the driver mirror ad-
justment.›
Adjust the mirror to the desired position.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors with the rotary knob
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.
The mirrors are folded out into the driving position after the rotary knob is
turned from the position
to a different one.
Folding-in both of the exterior mirrors using the remote control key
›
Close all windows.
›
Press on the remote control key for about 2 seconds.
The exterior mirror is folded back into the driving position when the ignition is
switched on.
Mirror with automatic dimming
The exterior mirror blackout is controlled together with the automatic dimming
interior mirror » page 77.
Fold in passenger's mirror
The passenger-side mirror can tilt down to improve the view to the curb when
reversing.
The mirror will be folded if the following conditions are met. The vehicle is equipped with the memory function for the driver's
seat » page 82 .
The function is activated via the MAXI DOT display in the menu item Mirror
down. » page 45 , Settings .
The knob for the mirror control is in the position for the passenger mirror
adjustment.
The reverse gear is engaged.
Memory function for mirrors
On vehicles fitted with a memory function for the driver seat, the relevant set-
ting for the exterior mirrors can also be stored automatically when the seat
position is stored » page 82.
WARNINGDo not touch the exterior mirror surfaces, if the exterior mirror heating is
switched on - hazard of burning. 78Operation
CAUTION■The exterior mirrors with fold-in function never mechanically fold by hand
- there is a risk of damaging the electric mirror actuator!■
When the mirror is swung by external influences (due to impact during ma-
noeuvring, for example), then first fold-in the mirror by turning the knob and
wait for a loud clapping noise.
Note
■ The mirror heater only operates when the engine is running and up to an
outside temperature of +35 ℃.■
If the electrical mirror setting fails at any time, the mirrors can be adjusted by
hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

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 the following rea-
sons.
› Reaching the controls safely and quickly.
› A relaxed and 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 acci-
dent!■
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■
The electric front seat adjustment is still functional if the ignition is
switched off (even with the ignition key removed). Therefore, when leaving
the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle - there is a danger of injury!
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!
79Seats and useful equipment
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 seat position in the electric
seat memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the
seat backrest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
■
Each time you store the position of the electrically adjustable driver's seat
and exterior mirrors, the existing setting is deleted.
