 Switching on / off
The rear lights - variant 1/variant 3 are operated together with the front lights. ▶ When the front interior lighting is switched on, the rear interior lighting also
turns on automatically.
▶ When the front interior lighting is switched off, the rear interior lighting can
be turned on/off as required.
Ambient lighting
The ambient lighting illuminates the panel, side door panels and the footwell.
The brightness (and in certain cases the colour) of the lighting can be adjusted
in the Infotainment system » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR vehi-
cle settings .
Door warning light

Front door warning light
The warning light » Fig. 64 turns on when the door is opened.
The warning light turns off when the door is closed.
There is a reflector installed here on some vehicles instead.
Entry space lighting
The lighting is positioned on the bottom edge of the exterior mirror and can
illuminate the entry area of the front door.
The light turns off after the vehicle is unlocked or the front door opens, de-
pending on external conditions and the particular vehicle equipment.
The lighting switches off around 30 seconds after the front door is closed or the ignition is switched on.

The heater automatically switches off after approximately 10 minutes.
If the engine is switched off when the heating is on and turned back on again
within 10 minutes, the heating is continued.
Note

If the light within or below the button flashes, the radiator will not work be-
cause of the low state of the battery.

 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
79
Exterior mirrors
80WARNING■ Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and breath appara-
tus.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

Basic position of the mirror
Mirror blackout
Mirror with automatic dimming
After starting the engine, the mirror darkens » Fig. 70 -
 automatically.
The mirror dimming is controlled by the light incident on the sensors on the
front and back of the mirror.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external devices (e.g. navigation systems) on to the windscreen or in the vicinity of the interior mirror »
.
WARNING■
The illuminated display of an external navigation device can lead to op-
erational faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.■
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
on the sensors is not impaired, e.g. by the rear sun roller blind.

Adjust the seat backrest only when the vehicle is stationary.
■
When moving the seat backrest, make sure the seat backrest has been
properly secured – check by pulling on the seat backrest.
■
If the seat backrest is folded, passengers may only be transported on the
outer seat behind the driver.
■
When moving the seat backrest, keep limbs out of the area between the
seat and seat backrest – risk of injury!
■
Never transport the following items on the seat backrest when folded
forwards. ■ Objects that could restrict the driver's view.
■ Objects which make it impossible for the driver to control the vehicle,
e.g. if they roll under the pedals, or could protrude into the driver's zone. ■ Objects which could lead to injury to passengers due to a change of di-
rection or braking manoeuvre when accelerating sharply.

DriveGreen function140Radiator blind140
The fuel consumption, degree of pollution and vehicle wear depend on driving
style, road condition, weather conditions and the like.
Running-in
Driving in the engine
The engine has to be run in during the first 1 500 kilometres. During this peri-
od, the driving style decides on the quality of the driving-in process.
During the first 1 000 km we recommend not driving faster than 3/4 of the
maximum permissible engine speed, not to drive at full throttle and to dis-
pense with the trailer.
In the area of 1,000 to 1,500 kilometres the engine load can be increased up
to the maximum permitted engine speed.
New tyres
New tyres must firstly be “run in”, as they do not offer optimal grip at first.
Therefore, drive especially carefully for the first 500 km or so.
New brake pads
New brake pads have to first “grind in” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect.
Therefore, drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or so.
Tips for economical driving
To achieve the lowest possible fuel consumption, the following instructions
must be observed.
Looking ahead when driving
Avoid unnecessary acceleration and braking.
Switch in an energy saving and timely manner Observe the recommended gear » page 42.
Avoid full throttle and high speeds
Fuel consumption can be reduced by half if only three-quarters of the possible
top speed of your vehicle is used.
Reducing idling
If the vehicle is fitted with the START - STOP system there is an automatic re-
duction of the idling. If the engine is stopped on vehicles without START-STOP
system, such as when waiting in a traffic jam, the fuel economy is already
greater after 30 - 40 s than the fuel quantity which is required for engine re-
start.
Avoid short distances
When driving a short distance of less than about 4 km, the engine cannot
reach its operating temperature. As long as the engine has not reached oper-
ating temperature, the fuel consumption is significantly higher than with the
engine hot.
Pay attention to the correct tyre inflation pressure being maintained
Further information » page 217.
Avoid unnecessary ballast
Per 100 kg of weight, consumption increases by about 0.3 l/100 km. At a speed
of 100 - 120 km/h, a vehicle fitted with a roof rack cross member without a load
will use about 10 % more fuel than normal due to the increased aerodynamic
drag.
Saving electricity
Only turn on electrical consumers (e.g. seat, window and mirror heating and
the like) for as long as necessary.
In Infotainment, the display is shown of up to three consumers which are cur-
rently showing the highest degree of fuel consumption » Owner´s Manual In-
fotainment , chapter CAR - Vehicle settings .
Use the cooling system economically
The air conditioning system compressor uses power from the engine when in
cooling mode, which will affect the fuel consumption.
It recommended to open the windows or the doors of a vehicle for which the
interior has been strongly heated through the effect of direct sunlight in order
to allow the heated air to escape.
The cooling system should not be on if the windows are open.139Starting-off and Driving
