automatically when you lock the vehicle
c::>page29.
Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
To help you see the curb when back ing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the posit ion for the front passenger's exterior
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 or aspheric*)
enlarge the field of vision. However, they
make objects in the mirror appear smaller
and farther away. You may estimate incor-
42
rectly when you use these mirrors to gauge
your distance from the vehicles behind you
when changing lanes, which increases the risk
of an accident.
(D Note
- If the mirror housing was moved by force
(for example, by running into an object
when maneuvering the vehicle), the mirror must be folded all the way in using the pow­
er folding function. The mirror hous ing
must not be moved back into place by hand
because this would impair the function of
the mirror mechanism.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exter ior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power fold ing exterior mirrors *
by hand. Only fold them in and out using
the power controls .
(D Tips
-If the power adjusting function malfunc­
tions, the glass in both mirrors can be ad­
justed by pressing on the edge of it by hand.

A WARNING
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory sys ­
tem . If there is contact with the flu id, flush
immediately with plenty of wate r. Consult a
physician if necessary.
- Repeated or long-term exposure to electro­
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air­
ways, especially in people with asthma or
other respiratory conditions. Take deep
breaths immediate ly after leaving the veh i­
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors and windows as wide as possible.
- If electrolyte fluid enters the eyes, flush
them thoroughly with a large amount of
clean water for at least 15 minutes and then
seek medical attention.
- If electrolyte f luid comes into contact with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes and then clean
with soap and water and seek med ical at­
tent ion . Clean affected cloth ing and shoes
thoroughly before wear ing again .
- If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, fl ush the mouth with water for at
least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting
unless this is recommended by medical pro­
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi­
ately .
(D Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, e lectrolyte can leak out . This liquid
damages plastic surfaces and paint. Clean
this liquid as quickly as possible, for example
with a wet sponge.

Ass is tanc e system s
What can the braking guard do?
When detected in t ime, the system can assess
dangerous situations where an object ahead
brakes suddenly or if your own vehicle is traveling
at a high speed and approaching an object that is moving more slowly. The braking guard does not
react if it cannot detect the s ituation.
The system advises you of various dangerous sit­ uations :
- T he
dista nce warning occurs if you d rive too
closely to the object ahead for a long period of
time. If the object ahead brakes strongly, you
would not be able to avoid a collision .
The.
indicator light appears as an indication for this.
- The
app ro ach warning occurs when an object
ahead is traveling more slow ly or brakes
strongly. When th is warning occurs, it may only
be possible to avoid a co llision by swerv ing or
braking strongly . The danger is indicated by the
• ind icator light ¢ fig . 98 . An aud io signal w ill
also sound .
If you do not react early enough or at all to a dan­
ge rous situation, the braking guard suppo rts you
with a brak ing intervention .
- If a collision is imminent, the system will f irst
provide an
a cut e warn ing by braking sharply.
- If you do not react to the acute warning, the braking guard can increase the braking force
within the limits of the system
ll . Th is reduces
the vehicle speed in the event of a collision .
- The system can init iate comp lete deceleration
shortly before a collision
ll _ Full deceleration at
high speeds occurs only in vehicles with adap­
tive cru ise control and s ide ass ist (pre sense
pl us).
- If the braking gua rd determines that you are
not brak ing strongly enough whe n there is an
im pending co llision, it can increase the bra king
force .
- T he pre sense functions also engage whe n
t h ere is an impend ing collision ¢
page 94.
l) Th is is not ava ilab le in some co untri es .
92
Which fun ction s can be controlled?
Yo u can swi tch the braking guard and the d is­
tance/approach warning on or
off in the Infotain ­
ment system ¢
page 93, Settings in the Info ­
tainment system .
A WARNING
Lack of attention can cause collisions, other
accidents and ser ious personal injuries . The
braking guard is an assist system and cannot
prevent a collis ion by itself . The dr iver must
a lways intervene. The d river is always respon­
sib le for braking at the co rrect t ime.
- Always pay close attention to traffic, even
when the b raking guard is sw itched on. Be
ready to intervene and be ready to take
co mplete co ntro l whenever necessa ry . Al ­
ways keep the sa fe and legal distance be ­
tween your vehicle and ve hicles up ahead .
- Br aki ng g uard wo rks w ithin limits and w ill
no t respond outside the system limits, for
examp le when approaching a stopped vehi ­
cle or stationary obstacle (end of a traffic
jam or ve hicle that has broken down in traf ­
fic).
- Always remember that the radar sensor for
the brak ing guard works only within defined
detection and range limits that may prevent
the proper detection of other vehicles .
- The radar sensor's function and range can
be reduced by rain, snow and heavy spray.
Mov ing veh icles up ahead may not be
promptly detected or may not be detected
at al l.
- Reflective surfaces including crash ba rr iers
or tunne l entra nces may impair the function
of the rada r senso r.
(D Tips
- You can cancel the braking with increas ing
force that is initiated by the system by brak­ ing yourse lf, by acce le rating not iceably or
by swerv ing.
- Keep in mind that b raking gua rd can b rake
unexpectedly. A lways secure a ny cargo or
