Memory function
Applies to: vehicles with power adjustable seats (version B)
The memory function in the remote control key
stores the driver's personalized seat profile.
The driver's seat profile is stored again and as-
signed to the remote control key each time the
vehicle is locked. When you open the door, the
seat profile is automatically recalled. If two peo-
ple use the vehicle, it is recommended that each
person always uses their “own” remote control
key.
The function must be switched on in the Infotain-
ment system so that the driver's seat profile will
be assigned to the remote control key when lock-
ing the vehicle.

ZA\ 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
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.
— For safety reasons, the seat backrests must
always be locked while driving.
— 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.

@ Tips
If you do not wish to have the seat profile for
another driver assigned to the remote control
key, switch the memory function off in the In-
fotainment system.

children should never be left unattended in
the vehicle because they could be injured.
— Exercise caution when adjusting the seat
height. Adjusting the seat carelessly or with-
out checking can pinch hands and fingers.
— For safety reasons, the seat backrests must
always be locked while driving.
— Never drive with a safety belt through the
openings in the backrest. Otherwise the

Telephone

The safety belt microphone is positioned in the
ideal location to provide the best hands-free call
quality regardless of body size and seat position.
The safety belt microphone activates when you
buckle the safety belt. Make sure that the micro-

Z\ WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes > page 261.
Storing new tire pressures
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system

The tire pressure specifications must be stored
correctly for the tire pressure monitoring system
to function reliably.
It is always necessary to store the tire pressures
when the tire pressures are modified, for exam-
ple due to a change in load or when new sensors
are installed.
> Before storing the tire pressures, make sure the
tire pressures of all four tires meet the speci-
fied values and are adapted to the load
=> page 254, fig. 194. Only correct and store
the pressure in tires whose temperature is ap-
proximately the same as the ambient tempera-
ture. If the temperature of the tire is higher
than the ambient air temperature, the tire
pressure must be increased approximately
3.0 PSI (0.2 bar) above the value on the sticker.
> Switch the ignition on.
> Select in the Infotainment system: [MENU] but-
ton > Service & checks > Tire pressure monitor-
ing > Store tire pressure > Yes, store now. Af-
ter storing the tire pressures, the tire pressure
monitoring system measures the current pres-
sures while driving and stores them as the new
specified pressures.
> If the changed tire pressures are not displayed
in the Infotainment system, drive the vehicle
for approximately 10 minutes so that the sen-
sor signal from the wheels is received again.


During this adaptation phase, --.-- is displayed
for the pressure and temperature and the tire
pressure monitoring system is only partially
available. It only provides a warning if one or
more tire pressures is below the minimum per-
mitted specified pressure.
If the @ indicator light turns on and the mes-
sage Tire pressure: wheel change detected.
Please check all tires and store pressures in
MMI also appears, the system has detected that
the position of the sensors has changed because
of a tire rotation, or that new sensors were instal-
led. Store the new tire pressures.

ZA\ WARNING
Read and follow the important information
and notes > page 261.
Malfunctions
Applies to: vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system

If the tire pressure monitoring system is not
available, the is indicator light appears in the
instrument cluster display along with the mes-
sage Tire pressure: malfunction! See owner's
manual.
If the iis indicator light appears after switching
the ignition on or while driving and the @ indi-
cator light also blinks for approximately one mi-
nute and then stays on, there is system malfunc-
tion. The following are examples of situations
that could cause a malfunction:
— If the message appears at the end of the adap-
tation phase, the system may not detect one or
several of the wheel sensors necessary for pres-
sure monitoring. This may result from one or
more wheels without wheel sensors or with in-
compatible wheel sensors being installed.
—Awheel sensor or another component has
failed.
— Using snow chains can affect the function of
the system because of the shielding effect of
the chains.
— The tire pressure monitoring system is not
available due to a malfunction.
— Transmitters with the same frequency, such as
headphones or remote-controlled devices, may
cause a temporary system malfunction due to
the strong electromagnetic field.
The ia indicator light and the message turn off
once the tire pressure monitoring system is avail-
able again. If you cannot correct the malfunction
and the is indicator light stays on, drive
