-hand exterior mirror moves to the
saved position.
The front passenger exterior mirror will move out of the position saved for reversing when the
vehicle is driven forwards faster than approximately 15 km/h (9 mph) or when the rotary knob is
moved out of position into another position.
WARNING
Injuries can be sustained if you do not take care when folding the exterior mirrors in and out.
Fold the exterior mirrors in or out only when there is no obstruction in the path of the mirror.
Always ensure that no fingers are caught between the exterior mirror and the mirror base when the
exterior mirrors are moved.
NOTICE
Always fold in exterior mirrors before using an automatic car wash.
Do not fold electrically folding exterior mirrors in or out manually as this can damage the electric
drive.
The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer needed. If the heating is left
on, this will result in unnecessary fuel consumption.
If there is a fault, the electric exterior mirrors can be adjusted by hand by pressing on the outside of
the mirror.

Vanity mirrors
There is a vanity mirror in the folded-down sun visor. Depending on the vehicle equipment level, the
vanity mirror may have a light.
When you open the cover Fig. 89Fig. 89
WARNING
Driving with the sun visors folded down and the sun blinds pulled out can reduce your view of the
road.
Sun visors and sun blinds should always be replaced in their holder if they are not being used.
In certain circumstances, the lamp above the sun visor will go out automatically after a few minutes.
This prevents the 12-volt vehicle battery from discharging.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
Front controls
Air recirculation mode
Seat heating
Steering wheel heating
Troubleshooting
The following systems may be installed in the vehicle
Both the manual air conditioning system and Climatronic heat, cool and dehumidify the air. It works
most effectively when the windows and the glass roof are closed. If heat has built up in the vehicle
interior, ventilating the vehicle can speed up the cooling process.
Display of activated functions
Lit up LEDs on rotary knobs and buttons indicate that the function is switched on.
WARNING
Poor visibility through the windows increases the risk of collisions and accidents, which can cause
serious injuries.
Keep all windows free from ice, snow and condensation to maintain good visibility.
Adjust the heating, air conditioning system and rear window heating so that condensation does not
form on the windows.
Only set off once all windows are clear.
Use air recirculation mode for a short period only. If the cooling system is switched off, condensation
can form on the windows very quickly in air recirculation mode and reduce visibility considerably.

WARNING
Stale air can quickly make the driver tired and affect their concentration, which in turn can cause
collisions, accidents and serious injuries.
Never switch off the blower or switch on the air recirculation mode for an extended period as this
prevents fresh air from entering the vehicle interior.
NOTICE
Food, medicine and other items that are sensitive to heat or cold could be either damaged or
rendered useless by the air flowing out of the vents.
Never leave food, medicines or other temperature-sensitive objects in front of the vents.
NOTICE
If the air conditioning system is not working, switch the air conditioning system off immediately and
have it checked by a qualified workshop. This can help to prevent secondary damage.
Some settings can be stored in the user accounts of the personalisation function and therefore
change automatically when the user account changes Personalisation
