Automatic interior lighting control
X
To switch on or off: press the0033button.
When the automatic interior lighting control is
activated, the button is flush with the over-
head control panel.
The interior lighting automatically switches on if you:
R unlock the vehicle
R open a door
R switch off the engine with the Start/Stop but-
ton
The interior lighting is activated for a short time
when the engine is switched off with the Start/ Stop button. This delayed switch-off can be
adjusted via the multimedia system (see Digital
Operator's Manual). Replacing bulbs
The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle safety.
You must therefore make sure that these func-
tion correctly at all times. Have the headlamp
setting checked regularly. Windshield wipers
Switching the windshield wipers
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 offthe windshield wipers in dry weather. 0047
003F Windshield wiper off
0048 0062 Intermittent wipe, low (rain sensor set
to low sensitivity)
0049 0063 Intermittent wipe, high (rain sensor
set to high sensitivity)
004A 00AA Continuous wipe, slow
004B 00A9 Continuous wipe, fast
0084 00D3 Single wipe
00D4 Wipes with washer fluid
X Switch on the ignition.
X Turn the combination switch to the corre-
sponding position.
In the 0062or0063 position, the appropriate
wiping frequency is set automatically according
to the intensity of the rain. In the 0063position,
the rain sensor is more sensitive than in
the 0062 position, causing the windshield wiper
to wipe more frequently.
The rain sensor is only an aid. The driver is
responsible for ensuring unimpaired vision. Turn
the switch to a suitable position, depending on
the intensity of the precipitation, to ensure that a good view of the traffic conditions is main-
tained.
If the wiper blades are worn, the windshield willno longer be wiped properly. This could preventyou from observing the traffic conditions.
Worn or damaged wiper blades cause smearing. This can cause the rain sensor to malfunction 100

Rear view camera
General notes Rear view camera
0043is located in the rear
bumper, underneath the trunk lid.
Rear view camera 0043is an optical parking and
maneuvering aid. It shows the area behind your
vehicle with guide lines in the multimedia sys-
tem display.
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear view mirror.
i The text shown in the multimedia system
display depends on the language setting. The following are examples of rear view camera
messages in the multimedia system display.
Important safety notes The rear view camera is only an aid. It is not a
replacement for your attention to your immedi-
ate surroundings. You are always responsible
for safe maneuvering and parking. Make sure
that there are no persons, animals or objects
etc., in the maneuvering area while maneuvering
and parking in parking spaces.
The rear view camera will not function or will
function only to a limited extent if:
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent bulbs or LED
lighting (the display may flicker)
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in win- ter R
if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed.
Observe the notes on cleaning
(Y page 246)
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
case, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
The field of vision and other functions of the
reversing camera may be restricted due to addi-
tional accessories on the rear of the vehicle (e.g. license plate holder).
The guide lines in the multimedia system display
show the distances to your vehicle. The distan-
ces only apply to road level.
Activating/deactivating the rear view
camera X
To activate: ensure that SmartKey position
0048 has been selected with the Start/Stop
button.
X Make sure that the Activation by R gear Activation by R gear
function is selected in the multimedia system (see the Digital Owner's Manual).
X Engage reverse gear.
The area behind the vehicle is shown with
guide lines in the multimedia system display.
The image from the rear view camera is avail-
able throughout the maneuvering process.
To deactivate: the rear view camera deacti-
vates if you shift the transmission to 005Dor after
driving forwards a short distance.
Messages in the multimedia system dis- play The rear view camera may show a distorted view
of obstacles, show them incorrectly or not at all. Obstacles are not shown by the rear view cam-
era in the following locations:
R very close to the rear bumper
R under the rear bumper
! Objects not at ground level may appear to
be further away than they actually are, e.g.:
R the bumper of a parked vehicle
R the drawbar of a trailer
R the ball coupling of a trailer tow hitch
R the rear section of an HGV
R a slanted post Driving systems
