warning sounds. After a few seconds or after closing the driver's door, the au-
dible alarm is turned off, but the parking lights will remain switched on.
CAUTION
Turning on the parking light means the battery is heavily loaded, especially
over short distances.Instrument lightingFig. 50
Controls for the instrument
lighting
Read and observe on page 63 first.
The brightness of the instrument lights can be set only if the parking, low
beam or high beam is switched on.
Turning the knob » Fig. 50
Adjust brightness of the instrument lighting.
Note
On vehicles with MAXI DOT display » page 47 the brightness of the instrument
lighting is set automatically. A manual brightness adjustment can therefore
only have a limited effect.
Driving abroad
Read and observe
on page 63 first.
The low beam is set asymmetrically. It illuminates the side of the road on
which the vehicle is being driven to a greater extent.
When driving in countries with opposing traffic system (traffic on the left/
right), asymmetric headlight adjustment can dazzle oncoming traffic. In order
to avoid this, the headlights must be adjusted at a specialist garage.
You can adjust the headlights with Xenon lights in the menu of the MAXI DOT
display under the menu point Travel mode » page 47 , Settings .
Note
You can find out more information on adjusting the headlights at a specialist
garage.69Lights and visibility

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: › 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 also functional when the ignition is
turned 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 there are 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!
77Seats and head restraints
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.
