Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If children adjust the seats, they could
become trapped, especially if they are unat-
tended. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.
The seats can still be adjusted when there is no
key in the ignition lock. G
WARNING
The head restraints cannot provide the inten-
ded protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints
support the back of each vehicle occupant's
head at eye level before driving off. Seats

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 112).
Crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is trig-
gered in an accident, the steering column will
move upwards when the driver's door is opened. This occurs irrespective of the position 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 feature is
activated in the on-board computer
(Y page 227). Mirrors

ing wheel and mirrors and fasten your seat

WARNING
The exterior mirrors reduce the size of the
image. Objects visible in the mirrors are
closer than they appear. You could misjudge
the distance from road users driving behind
you when changing lanes, for instance. There is a risk of an accident.

shoulder to determine the actual distance
from road users driving behind you. X

(Y page 139).
X Press button :for the left-hand exterior mir-
ror or button ;for the right-hand exterior

lamp is lit.
X Press adjustment button =up, down, or to
the left or right until you have adjusted the
exterior mirror to the correct position. You

tions.
The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger field of vision.
After the engine has been started, the exterior
mirrors are automatically heated if the rear win-
dow heating is switched on and the outside tem- perature is low. Heating takes a maximum of tenminutes. 110
