function*
To help you see the curb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mirror t ilts
slightly . Fo r this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger 's outside
mirror.
You can adjust the tilted mirror su rface by turn­
ing the knob in the des ired direction . Wh en you
move out of revers e and into another gear, the
new mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The mirror goes back into its origina l position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph (15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.
A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spherical*)
increase your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mir­
ror. If you use this mirror to estimate distan­
ces of following vehicles when changing
lanes, you cou ld estimate incorrectly and
cause an accident.
(D Note
-If the mirror hous ing was moved by force
(for example, by running into an object
when maneuvering the vehi cle), the mirror
must be folded all the way in using the pow­
er folding function. The mirror housing
must not be moved back into place by hand
because this would impair the function of
the mirror mechanism.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
48
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power folding exterior mirrors*
by hand. Only fold them in and out using
the power controls.
(D Tips
-If the power adjusting function malfunc­
tions, the g lass in both mirrors can be ad ­
justed by pressing on the edge of it by hand.

Seat s and storage

General information
Why is your seat adjustment so important?
The safety belts and the airbag system can only
provide maximum protection if the front seats are correctly adjusted .
There are various ways of adjusting the front
seats to provide safe and comfortable support
for the dr iver and the front passenger . Adjust
your seat properly so that :
- you can easily and quickly reach all the switches
and controls in the instrument panel
- your body is properly supported thus reducing
physical stress and fatigue
- the safety belts and a irbag system can offer
maximum protection
¢ page 129.
In the following sections, you will see exactly
how you can best adjust your seats.
There are special regulat ions and instructions for
installing a child safety seat on the front pas­
senger's seat . Always fo llow the information re­
garding child safety provided in¢
page 151 ,
Child safety.
_&. WARNING
Refer to¢ page 112, Driving safety for im­
portant information, tips, suggestions and
warnings that you should read and follow for
your own safety and the safety of your pas­
senge rs.
_&. WARNING
Incorrect seating position of the driver and all
other passengers can resu lt in serious person­
al injury.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is in motion -neve r put your feet on
top of the instr ument pane l, out of the win ­
dow or on top of the seat cushion. This ap­
plies espec ially to the passengers . If your
seat ing position is incorrect, you increase
the risk of injury in the case of sudden brak­ ing or an accident. If the airbag inflates and
54
the seating position is incorrect, this cou ld
result in personal injury or even death.
- It is important for both the driver and front
passenger to keep a distance of at least
10 inches (25 cm) between themselves and
the steering wheel and/or instrument panel.
If you're sitting any closer than this, the air­
bag system cannot protect you properly . In
addition, the front seats and head restraints
must be adjusted to your body height so
that they can give you max imum protect ion.
- Always try to keep as much distance as pos­ sible between yourself and the steer ing
wheel or instrument pane l.
- Do not adjust the driver's or front passeng­
er 's seat while the vehicle is moving. Your
seat may move unexpected ly, causing sud­
den loss of vehicle control and persona l in­
jury.
If you adjust your seat while the vehicle
is moving, you are out of position.
Driver's seat '
The correct seat position is important for safe
and relaxed driving.
We recommend that you adjust the dr iver's seat
in the following manner:
~ Adjust the seat in fore and aft direction so that
you can easi ly push the pedals to the floor
while keepi ng your knees slightly bent¢ .&,
in
Why is your seat adjustment so important? on
page 54.
~ Adjust the seatback so that when you sit with
your back against the seatback, you can still
grasp the top of the steering wheel.
~ Applies to veh icles with adjustable head re­
straints: Adjust the head restraint so the upper
edge is as even as possible with the top of your
head.
If that is not poss ible, try to adjust the
head restra int so that it is as close to this posi­
tion as possible ¢
