Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space,
the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger 's outside
mirror.
You can adjust the tilted mirror surface by turn­
ing the knob in the desired direction . When you
move
out of reverse and into another gear, the
new
mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The
mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forward faster than 9
mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and further away.
Your may estimate incorrectly when you use
these mirrors
to gauge your distance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes -ac­
cident risk!
CJ) Note
If the mirror housing was moved by outside
f orces (such
as an impact when maneuver­
ing), you
must use the power folding function
to fold the mirror all the way out. The mirror
housing must not be moved back into place
by hand because
this would impair the func­
tion of the mirror mechanism.
@ Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
pressing on
the edge of it by hand.

er intervals , move
the switch @ to the left/right.
In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on
in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap­
proximately 2 mph (4
km/h). The higher the sen­
sitivity
of the rain sensor* is set (switch @ to the
right),
the earlier the windsh ield wipers react to
moisture on the windsh ield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys­
tem, which switches the intermittent mode on.

A WARNING
f-==" -I
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver is still responsib le for
manually switching the wipers on according
to the visibility conditions .
- The windsh ield may
not be treated with wa­
ter-repelling windshield coating agents. Un­
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark­
ness, and when
the sun is low, can cause in­
creased glare which increases
the risk of an
accident.
Wiper blade chatter is also possi­
b l
e.
-Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad
es are required for a clear view and safe
driving
<:::>page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.
CD Note
-In the case of frost, check whether the
windshield wiper blades are frozen to the
windshield. Switching on the windshield
wipers
can damage the w ip er blades!
-
Prior to using a car wash, the windshield
w ip er system
must be switched off (lever in
position
0). This prevents unintentiona l
switching on and damage
to the windsh ield
wiper system .
@Tips
-The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is turned off. Activate the wind­
shield wipers
after the ignition is switched
back on by moving
the windshield wiper lev­
er
to any position.
-
Worn or dirty windshie ld wiper blades result
in streaking.
This can affect the rain sensor*
function .
Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly .
- The washer fluid nozzles in
the windshield
washer system are heated*
at low tempera­
tures when
the ignition is on.
- When stopping
temporarily, such as at a
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
w ipers automatically reduces by one level.

-Determine the depth before driving through
water.
-Do not stop the vehicle, drive in reverse or
switch the engine off when driving through

- Keep in mind that oncoming vehicles may
create waves that raise the water level and
make it too deep for your vehicle to drive
through safely.
- Avoid driving
through salt water (corrosion).
Economical and environmentally-friendly
driving
The amount of fuel consumption, the envi ron­
mental impact and the wear to the engine,
b rakes and tires depends mostly on yo ur driving
style. Wit h
an anticipatory and economic driv ing
style, fu
el consumption can be reduced by ap­
proximately 10-lSo/o. The following tips will help
you conserve the environment and your money at
the same time.
Anticip atory driv ing
A veh icle uses the most fuel when a ccele rating.
When you drive with anticipation, you do not
need to brake as often and thus acce lerate less.
When possible, let your vehicle coast with a gea r
engaged -for example, when you notice that the
next traffic light is red.
Avoid full acceleration
You should rarely travel at the maximum vehicle
speed. High speeds cause a disproportionately
high increase in fuel consumption, emissions and
traffic noise. Slower driving saves fuel.
Reduce idling time
It pays off to stop the engine, for example when
at railroad crossings or traffic lights with longer
red lights. Stopping the engine for 30-40 sec­
onds already saves more fuel than the amount of
extra fuel needed to restart the engine.
It takes a very long time in idle to warm the en­
gine up to operating temperature. Wear and
emissions are especially high in the warm-up
Driving
phase. Therefore, you should begin driving im­
mediately after starting the engine. Avoid high
RPMs while doing this.
Service regularly
By servic ing you r vehicle regularly, you can help
to reduce fuel consumption before you even start
to drive . The maintenance condition of your vehi­
cle not only affects traffic safety and long-term
val ue b ut also impacts fuel co nsumptio n.
A poorly serviced engine can lead to fuel con­
sumption that is 10% higher than normal.
Also check the oil level when refueling. The oil
con sumpti on
depends largely on the engine load
and speed. It is no rmal for the oil consumption
of a new engine to reach its lowest point only af­
ter a certain amount of use. Therefore, the oil
consumption can only be properly judged after
approximately 3,000 mi (5,000 km) have been
driven.
Avoi d short trip s
The engine and exhaust cleaning system must
reach their optimal operating tempera tu re to ef­
fectively reduce consumption and emissions.
A cold engine consumes a disproportionately
high
amount of f u el. The engine is at operating
temperature and consumption has normalized
only after approximately four kilometers.
Q) Note
Do not leave engine idling unattended after
starting. If warning lights should come on to
indicate improper operation, they would go
unheeded. Extended idling also produces
heat, which could result in overheating or
other damage to the vehicle or other proper­
ty.
CD Note
-Have your vehicle maintained properly and
in accordance with the service recommenda­
tions in your Warranty & M ain tenance book-
let. Lac k of proper mai ntenance as well as
improper use of th e vehi cle w il l impair the
function of the emission control system and
cou ld lead to damage. .,..
