Headlights
Headlight range control

Fig. 82 In the Infotainment system: slider for headlight range control.
Headlight range control can be used to adjust the light cone of the dipped beam headlights to the
vehicle load level. This gives the driver the best visibility possible and means that oncoming traffic
will not be dazzled ⇒ .

For safety reasons, it is important that the driver positions the exterior and interior mirrors correctly
before starting a journey ⇒ .
Looking in the exterior mirrors and the interior mirror does not allow the driver to see the entire
side and rear area around the vehicle. The area that cannot be seen is known as the blind spot.
There may be objects and other road users in the blind spot.

WARNING
Adjusting the exterior and interior mirrors while the vehicle is moving may cause the driver to
become distracted. This could lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Exterior and interior mirrors should be adjusted only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
When parking, changing lane, or performing an overtaking or turning manoeuvre, always pay careful
attention to the area around the vehicle as objects and other road users may be located in the blind
spot.
Always ensure that the mirrors are positioned correctly and that the rear view is not restricted by
ice, snow, condensation or any other objects.

WARNING
If you estimate the distance from traffic behind you incorrectly, you can cause accidents and serious
injuries.
Curved mirrors (convex or aspheric) enlarge the field of vision and can make objects in the mirror
seem smaller and further away than they actually are.
Using curved mirrors to estimate the distance from other vehicles behind you when changing lanes
can provide inaccurate results and can lead to accidents and serious injuries.
Whenever possible, use the interior mirror to check the exact distance between your vehicle and
following traffic or other objects.
Ensure that you have a good view to the rear of the vehicle.

WARNING
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mirror is broken.
The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory organs, especially in
people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses. Immediately ensure that there is a sufficient
supply of fresh air and get out of the vehicle. If this is not possible, open all of the windows and
doors.
If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately wash the area with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.

If the ignition is turned on again within approximately 10 minutes, the most recent driver seat
temperature setting is automatically activated.
When should I not switch on the seat heating?
Do not switch on the seat heating if one of the following conditions applies:
The seat is not occupied.
The seat is fitted with a protective cover.
A child seat is installed on the seat.
The seat cushion is damp or wet.
The temperature in the vehicle interior or the outside temperature is above +25°C (77°F).

WARNING
Anyone with reduced sensitivity to pain or temperature due to medication, paralysis or chronic
illness (e.g. diabetes) could sustain burns on the back, buttocks and legs when using the seat
heating. These burns may take a long time to heal or may never heal fully. Please consult a doctor if
you have questions about your own state of health.
Anyone with reduced sensitivity to pain or temperature should never use the seat heating.

WARNING
Wet upholstery can cause a fault in the seat heating and increase the risk of burns.
Ensure that the seat cushion is dry before using the seat heating.
Do not sit on the seat in damp or wet clothing.
Do not place any damp or wet objects or items of clothing on the seat.
Do not spill any liquids on the seat.

NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heating elements, do not kneel on the seats or apply sharp pressure at a
single point to the seat cushion and backrest.
Liquids, sharp objects and insulating materials, such as a protective cover or child seat, may damage
the seat heating.
If the system starts to produce an odour, switch off the seat heating immediately and have it
checked by a qualified workshop.

Always ensure that all windows are free of ice, snow and mist to ensure good visibility.
Maximum heat output and the fastest possible defrosting of the windows are possible only when
the engine is running. Do not start your journey until you have good visibility.
To help ensure good visibility, make sure that you use the air conditioning system and the rear
window heating correctly.
Auxiliary heater and ventilation
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the followingsubjects:
⇒ Switching the auxiliary heater and ventilation on and off 
⇒ Programming the auxiliary heater and ventilation 
⇒ Remote control 
The auxiliary heater and ventilation system can be used to heat the vehicle interior in the winter and
ventilate it in the summer. It is able to clear ice, condensation and a thin layer of snow from the
windscreen. The auxiliary heater is supplied with fuel from the vehicle fuel tank and can be operated
when the vehicle is stationary with the ignition switched off. The auxiliary ventilation system is
powered by the 12-volt vehicle battery.
Auxiliary heater exhaust system
The emissions generated by the auxiliary heater are discharged via an exhaust pipe underneath the
vehicle. The exhaust pipe must not be blocked by snow, mud or other objects.

WARNING
Among other things, the emissions from the auxiliary heater contain carbon monoxide, which is an
odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people to lose consciousness. It
can also cause death.
Never switch on the auxiliary heater when the vehicle is in unventilated or closed rooms nor let the
auxiliary heater run in unventilated or closed rooms.
Never program the auxiliary heater so that it is switched on and runs in unventilated or closed
rooms.

WARNING
Parts of the auxiliary heater exhaust system become very hot. This can cause fires.
Park the vehicle so that no part of the exhaust system can come into contact with any inflammable
material underneath the vehicle, e.g. dry grass.

Operating noises can be heard if the auxiliary heater is switched on.

The 12-volt vehicle battery will discharge if the auxiliary heating or ventilation is run several times
over an extended period. Drive the vehicle for an appropriate distance in between in order to
recharge the 12-volt vehicle battery.

The fuel gauge indication may not be accurate (just above the reserve quantity) when the vehicle is
parked on a slope; this may restrict the function of the auxiliary heater.

The auxiliary heater may switch on automatically when the engine is started at temperatures below
+5°C (+41°F) in order to provide additional hea ng power. The supplementary heating function will
switch off again automatically after a short time.
Programming the auxiliary heater and ventilation
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒Introduction 
Opening the Auxiliary heater menu
The auxiliary heater is programmed in the Infotainment system.
Manual air conditioning system
Press the button on the Infotainment system.
Touch the Vehicle and function buttons.
Climatronic
Open the air conditioning settings in the Infotainment system.
Touch the function button.
Changing operating mode
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
Press the Heating or Ventilation function buttons to change mode.
At high outside temperatures, the auxiliary ventilation system directs fresh air into the vehicle and
prevents the accumulation of heat.
Programming the auxiliary heater
Activation is always for one heating or ventilation operation only. The departure time must be
activated again for every start.

Before programming, check that the date and time set in the vehicle are correct ⇒ Time .
Open the Auxiliary heater menu.
Touch the Set function button.
Select one of the memory locations for a Departure time.
Touch the Activate function button.
Manual air conditioning system: the programmed departure time determines the time at which
the auxiliary heater or ventilation should switch off. The point at which the heating or ventilation
process starts is determined depending on the programmed running time.
Climatronic: on the basis of the programmed departure time, the vehicle automatically
calculates the start time for heating or ventilation to the currently set temperature depending on
the outside temperature.
Press the Running time function button under Adjust in order to select the running time when the
auxiliary heater is switched on using the immediate heat button or remote control.
Checking programming
If a departure time has been activated, the LED in the immediate heat button will light up on the
Climatronic control panel for approximately 10 seconds after the ignition is switched off.

WARNING
Never program the auxiliary heating system so that is switched on and run in unventilated or
enclosed spaces. Among other things, the emissions from the auxiliary heater contain carbon
monoxide, which is an odourless and colourless poisonous gas. Carbon monoxide can cause people
to lose consciousness. It can also cause death.
