Front Seats Heat Function
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the
heated seats to operate.
• Touch the “Climate” softkey on the
lower part of the MTC+ display.
• Starting from the state “OFF”,
indicated below the respective icon,
within 15 seconds touch the driver or
passenger seat soft-key once to select
HI-level heating.
• Within 15 seconds, touch the driver

NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat
will be felt within 2 to 5 minutes.
When the HI-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first 4 minutes of
operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level.
If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to
LO-level after a maximum of 60
minutes of continuous operation.
At that time, the display will indicate
the change from HI to LO.
The LO-level setting will turn OFF
automatically after a maximum of
approximately 45 minutes. Front Ventilated Seats (if
equipped) To enhance occupants comfort by high
external temperatures, both the driver
and passenger seats, on request, can
be ventilated.
Small fans are located in the seat
cushion and seatback, they draw air
from the seat surface through fine
perforations in the seat cover to help
keep the driver and front passenger
cooler when the temperature is high.
The seats comfort commands are in
the “Climate” screen of the MTC+.
They are present in the "Climate"
screen even when the A/C is off. See
“Air Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and Controls”
for further details.

Easy Entry/Exit Driver Seat This feature provides automatic driver
seat positioning to enhance driver
mobility when entering and exiting
the vehicle.
The distance the driver seat moves
depends on where you have the driver
seat positioned when you place the
ignition device to the OFF position.
• When you cycle the ignition to the
OFF position the driver seat:
• will move about 2.36 in (60 mm)
rearward if the driver seat position
is greater than or equal to ca. 2.67
in (68 mm) forward of the rear
stop;
• will move to a position of ca.
0.31 in (8 mm) forward of the rear
stop if the driver seat position is
between 0.9 in (23 mm) and
2.67 in (68 mm) forward of the
rear stop.

Rearview Mirrors External Mirrors External mirrors can be adjusted
electrically and are equipped with
anti-mist resistors operated by the air
conditioning system (see “Air
Conditioning Controls” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).
The mirrors can be closed electrically
and will yield in both directions in case
of a collision.
The external mirrors are
electrochromic, which means, they
automatically operate an anti-glare
function by gradually shading as the
light hitting the mirrors increases.
The external rear-view electrochromic
mirrors work in conjunction with the
internal rear-view electrochromic
mirror.
NOTE:
• The mirrors can be adjusted
electrically only with the ignition
device in ACC and RUN position.
• When the vehicle is started, the
indicator light shown in the picture
will momentarily illuminate in both
outside rear-view mirrors to let the
driver know that the BSA system is operational. For more details see
chapter “Blind Spot Assist” in section
“Driving”.
The external of the rear-view mirror
support is equipped with LEDs,
lighting up when the turn signals and
vehicle entry/exit lights are activated.
When the surround view camera
system is installed, at the external
bottom side of the rear-view mirror is
the side view camera (refer to
“Surround View Camera System
(optional)” in section “Before
Starting”).
Mirrors Positioning
The power mirror controls are located
on the driver's door trim panel.
The power mirror controls consist of
mirror select buttons and a four-way
mirror control switch. To adjust a rearview mirror, press
either the L (left) or R (right) button to
select the mirror that you want to
adjust. The spin button will illuminate
indicating the rearview mirror is
activated and can be adjusted.
Press the mirror control switch
corresponding to the arrow indicating
the direction of the desired
movement.
For optimal vision orientate the
outside(s) mirror(s) in order to frameUnderstanding the Vehicle

the adjacent lane and get a partial
overlap with the visible image on the
inside rearview mirror.
Power mirror preselected positions can
be reset by operating the Memory
Driver Seat device. Check “Driver
Memory Seat” in this section for
further information.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the
external side convex mirror will look
smaller and farther away than they
really are. Relying too much on your
passenger side convex mirror could
cause you to collide with another
vehicle or object. Use the inside mirror
to judge the size or distance of a
vehicle seen in the external side
convex mirror.
Tilt Side Mirrors In Reverse
This
feature provides automatic
external rearview mirrors positioning,
allowing the driver to view the ground
area behind the front doors. The
external mirrors will move slightly
downward from the current position
when the shift lever is shifted into
reverse. The external mirrors will then
return to the original position when the lever is shifted out of the reverse
position. Each memory set of the
driver's seat (see "Driver Memory
Seat" chapter in section
“Understanding the Vehicle”)
corresponds to a mirror tilt position in
reverse.
NOTE:
The mirrors tilt in reverse can be
turned on and off using the MTC+
System, refer to “MTC+ Settings” in
section “Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”.
Folding Mirrors
By selecting this feature on MTC+ the
rear-view mirrors automatically fold
when the vehicle is locked by the key
fob and when the power trunk lid (if
equipped) is closed and locked by
pressing the
button on the right
lower parts of the lid.
When the vehicle and the trunk lid will
be unlocked and the ignition device is
set in RUN position, the rear-view
mirrors will automatically open in the
position they had before the lock.
The switch for the power folding
mirrors is located between the power
mirror switches. Press the switch once and the mirrors
will fold in; press the switch a second
time to reset the mirrors to the
standard position.
There is a way to make external
mirrors automatically fold/unfold.
• If the function is available, it need to
be activated by MTC+ (refer to
“MTC+ Settings” in section
“Dashboard Instruments and
Controls”).Understanding the Vehicle
