Side window reversing feature
In vehicles with the convenience feature, theside windows are equipped with an automatic
reversing feature. If a solid object blocks or
restricts a side window from traveling
upwards during the automatic closing proc-
ess, the side window opens again automati-
cally. During the manual closing process, the side window only opens again automatically
after the corresponding switch is released.
The automatic reversing feature is only an
aid and is no substitute for your attention
when closing a side window.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small
fingers
Rwhile resetting
This means that the reversing feature can-
not prevent someone being trapped in these
situations. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure that no body parts are in close
proximity during the closing procedure. If
someone becomes trapped, press the switch
to open the side window again.
GWARNING
If you close a side window again immedi-
ately after it has been blocked or reset, the
side window closes with increased or max-
imum force. The reversing feature is then
not active. Parts of the body could be trap-
ped in the closing area in the process. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in
the closing area. To stop the closing proc- ess, release the switch or push the switch
again to reopen the side window.
Opening or closing the side windows
The switches for both side windows are loca-
ted on the driver's door. There is also a
switch for the front-passenger side window
on the front-passenger door. The switch on the driver’s door takes prece-
dence.

Problems with the side windows
GWARNING
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side
window closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing feature is then not active.
Parts of the body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process,
release the switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window.
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and 0050Solutions
A side window cannot be
closed because it is
blocked by objects, e.g.
leaves in the window

closed and you cannot
see the cause.If a side window is obstructed during closing and reopens again
slightly:
XImmediately after the window blocks, pull the corresponding
switch again until the side window has closed.
The side window is closed with increased force.
If a side window is obstructed again during closing and reopens
again slightly:
XImmediately after the window blocks, pull the corresponding
switch again until the side window has closed.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in
motion. This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always make sure that the driver's seat is
engaged before starting the vehicle.
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, steering wheel
or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors and fasten your seat belt before
starting the engine.
GWARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
GWARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved
the backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdomen or neck injuries, for
example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the back-
rest is in an almost vertical position and
that the shoulder section of your seat belt
is routed across the center of your shoul-
der.
Observe the safety notes on "Airbags"
(
Ypage 34) and "Children in the vehicle"
(Ypage 42).
!To avoid damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following informa-
tion:
Rkeep liquids from spilling on the seats.
If liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them
as soon as possible.
Rif the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat heat- ing should also not be used to dry the
seats.
Rclean the seat covers as recommended;
see the "Interior care" section.
Rdo not transport heavy loads on the seats.
Do not place sharp objects on the seat
cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The seats should only be occupied by passen-
gers, if possible.
Rwhen the seat heating is in operation, do
not cover the seats with insulating mate-
rials, e.g. blankets, coats, bags, seat
covers, child seats or booster seats.
!Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell under or behind the seats when
moving the seats back. There is a risk that
the seats and/or the objects could be dam-
aged.

Folding back
GWARNING
If the seat backrest is not engaged, it may
fold forwards, e.g. during braking or in the event of an accident.
RAs a result, a backrest which is not
engaged would press you into the seat
belt. The seat belt can no longer offer the
intended level of protection and can even
cause injuries.
RThe backrest cannot restrain objects or
loads in the trunk.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the
backrest is engaged as described.
Variant 1:
XTurn handwheel 0043back until the desired
seat backrest position is achieved
Variant 2:
XPull release lever 0043.
The backrest is released.
XFold the backrest backwards.
XEnsure that the seat backrest is engaged
again.
Switching the seat heating on/off
Activating/deactivating
GWARNING
Repeatedly switching on the seat heating
can cause the seat cushion and backrest
pads to become very hot. The health of per- sons with limited temperature sensitivity
or a limited ability to react to excessively
high temperatures may be affected or they
may even suffer burn-like injuries. There
is a risk of injury.
Therefore, do not switch the seat heating on
repeatedly.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (Ypage 87).
XTo switch on: press button0044.
Indicator lamp 0043in the button lights up.
XTo switch off: press button0044.

iIf the battery voltage is too low, the seat
heating may switch off.
The seat heating switches off automati-
cally after about 10 minutes.

Problems with the seat heating
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and0050Solutions
The seat heating has
switched off prema-
turely or cannot be
switched on.The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical con-
sumers are switched on.
XSwitch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the seat heating will
switch back on automatically.

Replacing bulbs
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Bulbs, lamps and connectors can get very
hot when operating. If you change a bulb,
you could burn yourself on these compo-
nents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before changing a bulb.
Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or if
its glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
Ryou touch it
Rit is hot
Ryou drop it
Ryou scratch it
Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps
designed for that purpose. Only fit spare
bulbs of the same type and the specified volt-
age.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service
life of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube
with your bare hands. If necessary, clean the
glass tube when cold with alcohol or spirit
and rub it off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during opera-
tion. Do not allow bulbs to come into contact
with liquids.
Replace only the bulbs listed (
Ypage 70).
If you require assistance replacing bulbs,
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult
a qualified specialist workshop.
The daytime driving lights and part of the
rear light clusters of your vehicle are equip-
ped with LED light bulbs. Do not replace these
bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified special-
ist workshop which has the necessary spe-
cialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Headlamps and lamps are an important aspect
of vehicle safety. You must therefore make
sure that these function correctly at all
times. Have the headlamp setting checked
regularly.
Overview: changing bulbs/bulb types
