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 t he ignition
off.
A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (for example convex)
enlarge the field of vision. However, they
make objects in the mirror appear smaller
and farther away. You may estimate incor­
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.
«1j) Note
-Applies to vehicles with power folding exte­
rior mirrors: if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must use the pow­
er folding function to fold the mirror all the
way out. The mirrors will make a loud noise
when they latch into place. The mirror hous­
ing must not be moved back into place by
hand because this would impair the func­
tion of the mirror mechanism.
- Applies to vehicles without power folding
exterior mirrors : if the mirror housing was
moved by outside forces (such as an impact
when maneuvering), you must move it back in place by hand.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding 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.
- The exterior mirror settings are stored with
the memory
function*~ page 59.

Dimming the mirrors
Your vehicle is equipped with a manual or auto­
matic* dimming rearview mirror .
Manual dimming rearview mirror
.,. Pull the lever on the bottom of the mirror back.
Automatic dimming rearview mirror*
.,. The interior and exterior mirrors dim automati­
cally when light shines on them, for example
from headlights on a vehicle behind you.
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 fluid, flush immediately with plenty of water. 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 immediately after leaving the vehi­
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 fluid 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 medical at­ tention. Clean affected clothing and shoes
thoroughly before wearing again.
- If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, flush 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 .
@ Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces and paint. Clean

this liquid as quickly as possible, for example
with a wet sponge.
@ Tips
- If the light reaching the rearview mirror is
obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror
will not function correct ly,
- The automatic dimming mirrors do not dim
when the interior lighting is turned on or
the reverse gear is selected.

tion longer, the wipers switch from slow wiping
to fast wiping .
®-Clean the windshield . The wipers wipe one
time after several seconds of driving to remove
water droplets . You can switch this function off
by moving the lever to position ® within
10 sec­
onds of the afterwipe. The afterwipe function is
r e activated the next time you switch the ignition
on.
Clean the headlights*. The headlight washer sys­
tem* operates only when the low beam head­
lights are on. If you move the lever into position
@, the headlights will be cleaned at fixed inter­
vals .
@-Wipe the rear window. The number of wipes
depends on the windshield wiper movement.
The rear wiper automatically switches on when
the reverse gear is selected and the front wind­
shield wipers are on and running.
(j) -Clean the rear window. The number of wipes
depends on how long the lever is held in position
(z). This may also clean the rearview camera, de­
pending on the vehicle equipment.
A WARNING
- The rain sensor is only intended to assist the
driver. The driver may still be responsible
for manually switching the wipers on based on visibility conditions.
- The windshield may not be treated with wa­ ter-repelling windshield coating agents . Un­
favorable conditions, such as wetness, dark­
ness or low sun, can result in increased
glare, which increases the risk of an acci­
dent. Wiper blade chatter is also possible.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving ~ page 53, Replacing wiper
blades .
«1j) Note
-If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
52
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind­ shield can damage the wiper blades.
- The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us­
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus­ ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
(D Tips
- The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position .
- Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor
function . Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
- The washer fluid nozzles for 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
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning the wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Use a soft cloth and a glass cleaner.

Warm and cold Climate control system
Description
The climate control system warms , cools and re­
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle inte ri­
or. It is the most effective when the w indows and
sunroof* are closed . If there is a bu ild -up of heat
inside the ve hicle, ventilation can he lp to speed
up the cooling process.
I n all he ating mode f unct ions except for
defrost ,
the blower on ly switches to a higher speed once
the engine coolant has reached a sufficient tem ­
perature .
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filte r removes pollutants such as
d ust and pollen from the a ir.
Key recognition
The climate control settings are automatically
sto red and assig ned to the remote control key
that is i n use .
Warm and c old
@ For the sake of the environment
If you wo uld like to reduce fue l consumption,
switch the air conditioning off. T his w ill also

(D Tips
- To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win ­
dows from fogging over, the a ir intake in
fro nt of the w indshie ld must be free of ice,
snow o r leaves .
- Condensation from the coo ling system can
dr ip and form a pudd le of water under the
veh icle . Th is is norma l and does not mean
t here is a lea k.
- The e nergy management system may tem­
pora rily switch off certa in functions, s uch as
