The mirror returns to its initial position after the rotary knob is put into anoth-
er position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.WARNINGDo not touch the exterior mirror surfaces, if the exterior mirror heating is
switched on - hazard of burning.
CAUTION
■ Never adjust retractable exterior mirrors by hand - 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

The electric front seat adjustment is functional even with the ignition off.
Therefore, when leaving the vehicle, never leave people who are not com-
pletely independent, such as children, unattended in the vehicle - there is a
danger of injury!
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seats) – risk of accident!
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.

The level of the seat heating is indicated by the number of illuminated warning
lights in the switch.
WARNINGIf you have impaired sensitivity to pain and/or temperature, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we do not recommend using the seat heating. There is a possibility of suffering from
burns that are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend
to make regular breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that
the body can recuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your
doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
The following instructions should be observed to avoid damage to the seats.■Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■
Do not switch on the seat heating for any seats that are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seat in question has objects attach-
ed to or placed on it, for example a child seat, a bag, etc.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seat in question has additional pro-
tective covers or protective covers on it.
Note
If the on-board voltage decreases, the seat heating switches off automatically
