Rear view mirror
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror dimming
78
Exterior mirrors
78WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, make objects appear
smaller and further away. Therefore, use the rear-view mirror to determine
the distances to the following vehicles. 77Lights and visibility

WARNING■The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolyte fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes with plenty of water. Seek
medical assistance if required.

Mirror with automatic dimming
The mirror dimming » Fig. 66 is automatically controlled after the engine start.
12When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror - it could cause an acci-
dent.■
The automatic dimming mirror only functions smoothly if the light falling
on the sensors is not compromised (e.g. by the sunshade at the back). The
sensors are located on the front and back of the mirror.
Exterior mirrors

WARNINGDo not touch the exterior mirror surfaces, if the exterior mirror heating is
switched on - hazard of burning.
CAUTION
■ Never manually fold in/out the electrically folding exterior mirrors - there is a
risk of damage to the mirror!■
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
wait for a loud clapping noise.

AB86Using the system

WARNING■The blower should always be on to prevent the windows from misting.
Otherwise there could be an accident.■
Under certain circumstances, air at a temperature of about 5 °C can flow
out of the vents when the cooling system is switched on.
Note
■ The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free of e.g. ice, snow or
leaves to ensure that the heating and cooling system operates properly.■
After switching on the cooling Condensation from the evaporator of the air
conditioning may drip down and form a puddle below the vehicle. This is not a
leak!
■
If the coolant temperature is too high, the cooling system is switched off to
ensure that the engine cools down.

Information on the cooling system
After pressing the button 

nates even if not all conditions are met for the cooling system. The cooling
system operates only if the following conditions are met » page 113.
When the air distribution control is turned to position 

Note
To ensure adequate thermal comfort, during operation of the manual air condi-
tioning there could be an increase in the engine idle speed in some circum-
stances.

114Using the system

Operating modes
Automatic mode works in three modes - moderate, medium, and intensive.
Setting of the different modes takes place via the functional surface D
» Fig. 150 on page 116 or » Fig. 151 on page 116 .
After the automatic mode is switched on, Climatronic works in the last selec-
ted mode. The currently selected mode is displayed in the Infotainment dis-
play.
Air distribution control
Read and observe
on page 114 first.
The recirculation mode prevents contaminated outside air getting into the In-terior of the vehicle. In recirculated air mode air is sucked out of the interior of
the vehicle and then fed back into the interior.
›
To switch on , press the
 button. The warning light below the button lights
up.
›
To switch off , press the
 button again. The warning light below the button
goes out.
Heating and manual air conditioning system
If the air distribution control is set to position  when the recirculation modes
is switched on, the recirculated-air mode is switched off. By pressing the 
button, the air recirculation also in this position can be switched on again.
When the cooling system (  button) is switched on and the temperature reg-
ulator is “turned” to the left, the recirculated-air mode is switched on.
Climatronic
The Climatronic can have a sensor that measures the air recirculation mode
and automatically turns on if there is an increased concentration of pollutants
in the incoming air.
When the pollutant concentration decreases to the normal level, the recircula-
ted air mode is automatically switched off.
Automatically switching the air recirculation function on/off can be adjusted by pressing the button on the Climatronic and by subsequently pressing the
function surfaces 
→
automatic air recirculation
in the Infotainment screen. Au-
tomatic switching on / off works at a temperature above 2 ° C.
A shut-off of the air recirculation function takes place automatically by press-
ing the  button, possibly depending on the moisture conditions in the vehi-
cle interior.
WARNINGThe air recirculation cannot be switched on for a longer period of time be-
cause there is no supply of fresh air from the outside. “Stale air” may result
in fatigue in the driver and occupants, reduce attention levels and also
cause the windows to mist up. As soon as the windows mist up, turn the air
recirculation mode off immediately - there is a risk of accident!
CAUTION
We recommend not smoking in the vehicle when the recirculating air operation
is switched on. The smoke sucked from inside the vehicle is deposited on the
evaporator of the air conditioner. This produces a permanent odour when the
air conditioning system is operating which can only be eliminated through con-
siderable effort and expense (replacement of compressor).
