Turn the knob to the desired position:
CY/® - Adjusts the left/right exterior mirror.
Move the knob in the desired direction.
GA - Heats the mirror glass depending on the out-
side temperature.
SA - Folds the exterior mirrors*. In the Infotain-
ment system, you can select if the mirrors fold in
automatically when you lock the vehicle
=> page 26.
Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position 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.
Z\ WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and farther away.
You may estimate incorrectly when you use
these mirrors to gauge your distance from the
vehicles behind you when changing lanes,
which increases the risk of an accident.
Qo Note
If the mirror housing was moved by outside
forces (such as an impact when maneuver-
ing), you must use the power folding function
to fold the mirror all the way out. The mirror
housing must not be moved back into place
by hand because this could impair the func-
tion of the mirror mechanism.
G@) Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
pressing on the edge of it by hand.

Dimming the mirrors
Manual dimming rearview mirror
> Pull the lever on the bottom of the mirror back.
Automatic dimming rearview mirror*
> The interior rearview mirror and exterior mir-
rors* dim automatically when light shines on
them, for example from headlights on a vehicle
behind you.

Z\ WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim-
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electrolyte
fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
— 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 atten-
tion. Clean affected clothing and shoes thor-
oughly 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. Remove the liquid
as quickly as possible, for example using a
wet sponge.

G) Tips
— If the light reaching the rearview mirror is
obstructed, the automatic dimming mirror

wipe function is reactivated the next time you

Z\ WARNING
— The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver may still be responsi-
ble for manually switching the wipers on
based on visibility conditions.
— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Unfavorable conditions, such as wetness,
darkness, and when the sun is low, can
cause increased glare, which increases the
risk of an accident. Wiper blade chatter is al-
so possible.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 44, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

() Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
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.
Gi) Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again 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 in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
—When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.
> Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position > page 44.
> Fold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.

ZA WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi-
sion, which increases the risk of an accident.

Z\ WARNING
— Only adjust the front seat when the vehicle
is stationary. Otherwise, this increases the
risk of an accident
— The power front seats can also be adjusted

when the ignition is switched off. For this

46

reason, children should never be left unat-
tended in the vehicle because they could be
injured.
— Exercise caution when adjusting the seat
height. Unsupervised or careless seat adjust-
ment can pinch fingers or hands causing in-
juries.
— The front seat backrests must not be re-
clined too far back when driving, because
this impairs the effectiveness of the safety
belts and airbag system, which increases the
risk of injury.
—To minimize the risk of injury during sudden
braking or a collision, the driver and the
front passenger must not drive or ride with
the backrest in the reclined position. The
safety belts and airbag system can only pro-
vide the greatest protection possible when
the backrests are in the upright position and
the safety belts are worn correctly. The more
a backrest is reclined, the greater the risk of
injury due to an incorrect seating position
and safety belt position.
Multifunction button
Applies to: vehicles with multifunction button


You can adjust the side bolsters using the multi-

bolsters on the seat backrests will increase or
decrease the lateral support.
G) Tips
The air in the side bolsters* is released as
soon as the driver's door opens. This makes is
possible to enter and exit the vehicle more
comfortably. As soon as you start driving the
vehicle, the side bolsters fill.
