Using a safety belt extender
Adjust both the seat and the head restraint properly ⇒ Adjusting the
seating position.
Insert the buckle tongue on the safety belt extender ⇒ fig. 70 (2)
into the vehicle belt buckle for the seat where the safety belt extender
is being used (1).
Fastening or unfastening the vehicle safety belt ⇒ Fastening and
unfastening safety belts.
Pull the belt to make sure that the tongues are securely locked in
the buckles.
Make sure that the safety belt is positioned properly ⇒ Safety belt
position.
Properly using safety belt extenders:
Use a safety belt extender only when the factory installed safety
belt is too short when worn properly by a person in proper seating
position.
Only use 1 safety belt extender per seat and vehicle safety belt.
Always remove the safety belt extender when it is not needed.
Never leave a safety belt extender attached to the vehicle safety
belt buckle when the extender is not needed and being used with the
safety belt. Otherwise, the airbag control module will receive an incor-
rect signal from the safety belt buckle and this will prevent the airbag
from working properly for a person who is not using the safety belt.
Leaving the extender attached to the safety belt buckle when the front
seat is occupied and the safety belt is not being used will signal the
airbag control unit during a collision that the front passenger seat is

Background lighting in the outside mirrors
The background lighting in the outside mirrors illuminates the area
near the doors when entering and exiting the vehicle. It is switched on
when the vehicle is unlocked, a vehicle door is opened, or the “Com-
ing home” or “Leaving home” feature is activated. If the vehicle is
equipped with a light sensor, the background lighting in the outside

Glove and luggage compartment lights
The glove and luggage compartments may have lights that come on
automatically when they are opened and go off when they are closed.
Background lighting
When the ignition and headlights are switched on, the background
lighting in the roof console lights up.
There may also be lighting in the footwells and on the inside door trim
and door handle recesses.
The interior and reading lights go out when you lock the vehicle
or a few minutes after you remove the vehicle key from the ignition.
This helps to prevent unnecessary drain on the vehicle battery.

as a communications window for transmitting signals to and from
electronic components and accessories.
The uncoated area must not be blocked on the inside or outside or
covered with stickers because this can cause the electronic compo-
nents to malfunction.

the rear window.

Wiper performance in different situations:
During automatic
wipe/wash:
While the washer system is working, the
Climatronic switches to recirculation for
about 30 seconds to help prevent the
washer fluid odor from entering the vehi-
cle interior.
During intermittent
wiping:
Speed-dependent interval control: The
higher the vehicle speed, the faster the
wipers move.

Heated washer nozzles
The heating thaws frozen washer nozzles, but not the fluid supply
hoses. When the ignition is switched on, the heat applied to the
washer nozzles is automatically regulated depending on the outside
air temperature.
Headlight washer system
The headlight washer system cleans the headlight glass.
If the ignition and the headlights (high or low beams) are switched on,
the headlights are cleaned the first time and every fifth time the front
windshield washers are activated. This happens only when the low or
high beams are on when the windshield wiper lever is pulled towards
the steering wheel. However, the headlights must still be washed by
hand periodically (for instance, during refueling) in order to get rid of
hard-to-remove dirt (like insect splatter).
To help make sure that the headlight cleaning system works during
winter weather, always keep the headlight washer nozzles free of
snow and remove any ice with a deicer spray before driving. Use a
deicer spray to remove any ice.
If there is something on the windshield, the wiper will try to wipe it
away. If it continues to block the wiper, the wiper will stop moving.
Remove the obstacle and switch the wiper on again.

(2) Switch
(3) Sensor for recognizing entry of light
The auto-dimming feature can be switched on and off with the switch
on the inside mirror (2) A or (2) B. When auto-dimming is activated,
the indicator light (1) is on.
If the ignition is switched on, the sensor (3) automatically darkens the
inside mirror depending on the amount of light shining into the vehicle
from the rear.
The auto-dimming feature is deactivated when you shift the transmis-
sion into reverse or switch on the interior lights or the reading light.
Do not attach external navigation devices to the windshield or in the
vicinity of the auto-dimming inside mirror ⇒ .
WARNING
The illuminated display on an external navigation device can
cause the auto-dimming inside mirror to malfunction, which
can result in crashes and serious injuries.
Malfunctions in the auto-dimming function can result in the
inside mirror being unable to evaluate the exact distance of ve-
hicles in the rear or other objects.
If the light striking the sensor is filtered or blocked (such as by a
sunshade), the auto-dimming inside mirror will not work properly or
may not work at all.

Turn the adjusting knob to the L position.
Adjust the left outside mirror. The right (passenger) outside mirror
will automatically adjust at the same time.
If needed, correct the position of the right mirror by turning the ad-
justing knob to the R position.
Auto-dimming outside mirror on the driver side
Some models are equipped with an auto-dimming outside mirror,
which is controlled together with the auto-dimming inside mirror ⇒ 
Inside mirror.
Memory for front passenger side mirror (when backing up)
On vehicles equipped with memory seats ⇒ page 136, Memory seats,
the passenger side mirror settings for backing up can be stored as
follows:
Choose the remote control vehicle key that will be used with the
settings about to be made.
Unlock the vehicle with that remote control vehicle key.
Set the electronic parking brake.
Switch on the ignition.
Activate the function Mirror down in the Settings - Convenience
menu.
Turn the adjusting knob for the side mirrors to the R position.
Shift the transmission into Reverse (R).
Adjust the passenger outside mirror for a clear view of the curb, for
example.
The adjusted mirror position is automatically stored and assigned
to the vehicle key used to unlock the vehicle. The preselected posi-
tion will be recalled when the key assigned to that mirror adjustment
position is used again.
Recalling passenger side mirror settings
Turn the adjusting knob for the side mirrors to the R position.
Shift the transmission into reverse gear with the ignition switched
on.
The mirror moves back to the regular position when the vehicle
moves forward faster than about 10 mph (15 km/h) or the adjusting
knob is turned to the O or L position.

WARNING
Unsecured or incorrectly stowed items can fly through the ve-
hicle, causing serious personal injury during hard braking or
sharp steering or in an accident. Loose items can also be
struck and thrown through the passenger compartment by the
front airbags if they inflate. To help reduce the risk of serious
personal injury:
Always stow all objects securely in the vehicle.
Always keep storage compartments closed while driving.
Do not stow hard, heavy, or sharp objects in open bins in the
vehicle or on top of the instrument panel.
Remove hard, heavy, and sharp objects from clothing and
bags in the vehicle interior and stow securely. Always put
heavy items in the luggage compartment.
Always secure objects in the passenger compartment proper-
ly with suitable straps so that they cannot move into the de-
ployment area of a side or front airbag during braking, in a
sudden maneuver, or in a collision.
Always make sure that there is nothing on the front passen-
ger seat when the backrest is folded forward. When the
backrest is folded forward, even light objects could be pushed
into the seat cushion and cause the weight-sensing mat in the
seat to register enough weight to turn the airbag on.
Always make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG /&& light is
on and stays on whenever the backrest of the front passenger
seat is folded forward ⇒  Seat functions.
Passengers must never ride in an incorrect seating position
because objects are being transported in the vehicle.
Never let anybody sit in a seat that is blocked by objects be-
ing carried in the vehicle.

WARNING
An open or unlocked luggage compartment poses special risks
for children.
Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors
when the vehicle is not in use. First, make certain that no one is
left inside.
Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play
around the vehicle, especially with the luggage compartment lid
left open. A child could crawl into the vehicle and pull the lid
shut, becoming trapped and unable to get out. This could cause
severe or fatal injuries.
A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depend-
ing on the season. Temperatures can quickly reach levels that
can cause unconsciousness or death, particularly to small chil-
dren.
Never let children play in or around the vehicle.
Never let anyone ride in the luggage compartment.

WARNING
Transporting heavy objects causes the handling characteristics
of the vehicle to change and increases braking distances.
Heavy loads which are not properly stowed or secured in the
vehicle can lead to a loss of vehicle control and cause serious
personal injury.
Transporting heavy items causes the handling characteris-
tics of the vehicle to change by shifting the vehicle's center of
gravity.
Always distribute luggage evenly and as low as possible
within the vehicle. The vehicle capacity weight figures apply
when the load is distributed evenly in the vehicle (passengers
and luggage).
Always stow luggage and heavy items in the luggage com-
partment as far forward of the rear axle as possible and secure
them with appropriate straps to the tie-downs provided.
Never exceed the vehicle's Gross Vehicle Weight Rating or
Gross Axle Weight Ratings, which are printed on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label located on the door jamb of the
driver door. Exceeding the permissible weight can cause the
vehicle to skid and behave differently.
Always adapt your speed and driving style to accommodate
your payload and its weight distribution within your vehicle.
Be especially cautious and gentle when stepping on the ac-
celerator pedal and avoid sudden braking and other maneu-
vers.
Brake earlier than you would if you were not driving a loaded
vehicle.
NOTICE
The defroster heating wires or antenna in the rear window can
be damaged by objects that rub against them.
The ventilation slots between the rear window and the shelf be-
hind the rear seat backrest must not be blocked so that stale air can
escape from the vehicle.
