You must reset the electric sliding door if there
has been a malfunction or an interruption in the
voltage supply (
Ypage 78).
iPlease note, if the child-proof locks have
been activated, you cannot open the sliding
door from the inside. You can only open a
sliding door from the inside if the child-proof
locks have not been activated. Further infor-
mation can be found under "Child-proof locks
for the sliding door" (
Ypage 63) and "Open-
ing/closing from the inside" (Ypage 77).
Obstacle detection with reversing
feature
The sliding door is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing feature. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the sliding door
during the automatic closing process, the slid-
ing door opens again automatically. If the sliding
door is obstructed during the opening proce-
dure, it moves back a few centimeters in the
opposite direction and stops.
Automatic obstacle detection with reversing
feature is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when closing the electrical
sliding door.
If an obstacle is detected, the display shows the
Left-hand Electric Sliding Door
ObstructionDetectedmessage for example,
and five warning tones sound.
GWARNING

gers

difficult for other road users to see or will not
be seen by them at all, particularly if it is dark
or visibility is poor. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
You should therefore ensure in this and simi-
lar situations that the vehicle is visible from
the rear in accordance with the relevant
national regulations, by using the warning tri-
angle, for instance.

Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wiper
on/off
!
Do not operate the windshield wipers when
the windshield is dry, as this could damage
the wiper blades. Moreover, dust that has col-
lected on the windshield can scratch the glass
if wiping takes place when the windshield is
dry.
If it is necessary to switch on the windshield
wipers in dry weather conditions, always use
washer fluid when operating the windshield
wipers.
!If the windshield wipers leave smears on the
windshield after the vehicle has been washed
in an automatic car wash, wax or other resi-
dues may be the reason for this. Clean the
windshield using washer fluid after washing
the vehicle in an automatic car wash.
!Intermittent wiping with rain sensor: due to
optical influences and the windshield becom-
ing dirty in dry weather conditions, the wind-
shield wipers may be activated inadvertently.
This could then damage the windshield wiper
blades or scratch the windshield.
For this reason, you should always switch off
the windshield wipers in dry weather.

In the ÄorÅ positions, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the Åposition,
the rain sensor is more sensitive to precipitation
than in the Äposition, causing the wind-
shield wipers to wipe more frequently.
The windshield will no longer be wiped properly
if the wiper blades are worn. This may prevent
you from observing the traffic conditions. Infor-
mation on replacing the wiper blades can be
found under "Replacing wiper blades"
(
Ypage 107).

Regulating climate control automati-
cally
General notes
When dual-zone automatic climate control is in
automatic mode, the set temperature is auto-
matically kept constant. The system automati-
cally regulates the temperature of the dis-
pensed air, the airflow and the air distribution.
Automatic mode will achieve optimal operation
if the cooling with air dehumidification function
is also activated. If desired, the cooling with air
dehumidification function can be deactivated
(
Ypage 114).
Dual-zone automatic climate control
Automatic mode for automatic climate control
settings can only be activated or deactivated on
the first menu level. If you do not set a new value
for the rear-compartment climate control in the second menu level within approx. ten seconds,
the control panel display goes back to the first
menu level.
XSwitch on climate control (Ypage 113).
XSet temperature for the driver's and front-
passenger side and, for vehicles with rear-
compartment air conditioning, for the rear
compartment, too (

XTo switch automatic mode on or off: press
the à button.
If the indicator lamp in the Ãbutton lights
up, automatic mode is activated. The airflow
and air distribution are controlled automati-
cally and the windshield defrosting function is
deactivated.
If you deactivate automatic mode, the auto-
matic climate control system saves the current
settings.
In automatic mode, if you adjust the airflow or
air distribution manually, the indicator lamp
above the Ãbutton goes out. The function
which has not been changed manually, however,
continues to be controlled automatically.
