Front passenger's exterior mirror tilt
function*
Requirement: the knob must be in the position
for the front passenger’s exterior mirror.
The mirror surfaces tilt slightly when reverse
gear is selected to provide a better view, for ex-
ample of the edge of the curb.
You can adjust the mirror surface by turning the
knob in the desired direction. When you move
out of reverse and into another gear, the new
mirror position is stored and assigned to the key
you are using.
The mirror goes back into its original position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition off.

Z\ WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex) enlarge the
field of vision. However, they make objects in
the mirror appear smaller and farther away.
When using these mirrors to estimate your
distance to vehicles behind you when chang-
ing lanes, you could estimate incorrectly,
which increases the risk of an accident.

@) Note
If the mirror housing was moved by force (for
example, by running into an object when ma-
neuvering the vehicle), the mirror must be
folded all the way in using the power folding
function. The mirror housing must not be
moved back into place by hand because this
could impair the function of the mirror mech-
anism.
@ Tips
If the power adjusting function malfunctions,
the glass in both mirrors can be adjusted by
pressing on the edge of it by hand.

Z\ WARNING
Electrolyte fluid can leak from automatic dim-
ming mirrors if the glass is broken. Electrolyte
fluid can irritate skin, eyes and airways.
— Repeated or long-term exposure to electro-
lyte fluid can lead to irritation of the air-
ways, especially in people with asthma or
other respiratory conditions. Take deep
breaths immediately after leaving the vehi-
cle or, if this is not possible, open all of the
doors and windows as wide as possible.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with
the eyes, flush them thoroughly with plenty
of clean water for at least 15 minutes and
then seek medical attention.
— If electrolyte fluid comes into contact with
the skin, flush the affected area with clean
water for at least 15 minutes, and then
clean with soap and water and seek medical
attention. Clean affected clothing and shoes
thoroughly before wearing again.
— If the fluid was swallowed and the person is
conscious, flush the mouth with water for at
least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting
unless this is recommended by medical pro-
fessionals. Seek medical attention immedi-
ately.
() Note
If the glass on an automatic dimming mirror
breaks, electrolyte can leak out. This liquid
damages plastic surfaces. Clean this liquid as
quickly as possible, for example with a wet
sponge.

Lights and Vision


— The windshield must not be treated with
water-repelling windshield coating agents.
Under unfavorable conditions, such as wet-
ness, darkness, and when the sun is low,
these coatings can cause increased glare,
which increases the risk of an accident. They
can also cause wiper blade chatter.
— Properly functioning windshield wiper
blades are required for a clear view and safe
driving > page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades.

> Place the windshield wiper arms in the service
position > page 42.
> Fold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.

ZX WARNING
Dirty windshield wiper blades can impair vi-
sion, which increases the risk of an accident.
Replacing windshield wiper blades


@) Note
— If there is frost, make sure the windshield
wiper blades are not frozen to the wind-
shield. Switching on the windshield wipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind-
shield can damage the wiper blades.
— The windshield wiper system must be
switched off (lever in position 0) before us-
ing a car wash. This prevents the wipers
from switching on unintentionally and caus-
ing damage to the windshield wiper system.
@ Tips
— The windshield wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
windshield wipers after the ignition is
switched on again by moving the windshield
wiper lever to any position.
— Worn or dirty windshield wiper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function. Check your windshield wiper
blades regularly.
— The washer fluid nozzles in the windshield
washer system are heated* at low tempera-
tures when the ignition is on.
— When stopping temporarily, such as ata
traffic light, the speed of the windshield
wipers automatically reduces by one level.
Cleaning windshield wiper blades
Clean the wiper blades when you see wiper
streaks. Clean the wiper blades with a soft towel
and glass cleaner.

child could be propelled through the vehicle.

58

This can cause serious or fatal injuries for
the child and passengers.
— If children use an incorrect seating position
while driving, they have a higher risk of in-
jury during a sudden braking maneuver or
accident. This especially applies to children
in the front passenger's seat or children who
have their head near the side airbag deploy-
ment area, if the airbag system is deployed
during an accident. This incorrect seating
position can cause severe or even fatal inju-
ries.
— Applies to: Coupe: Make sure there is
enough space in front of the child in the
child safety seat. If necessary, adjust the an-
gle and position of the seat in front of the
child safety seat.
— The rear side of a forward-facing child safety
seat should be positioned as close as possi-
ble to the backrest on the vehicle seat.
— Applies to: Coupe:Always make sure that the
backrest on the seat where the child safety
seat is installed is securely locked in place
and cannot move forward. Otherwise, the
backrest where the child safety seat is se-
cured could move forward in the event of an
accident or other emergency situation.
— NEVER use a rear-facing child safety seat on
a seat with an ACTIVATED FRONT AIRBAG;
this could cause DEATH or SERIOUS INJURIES
toa CHILD.
— Applies to: Coupe: Always secure child
safety seats on the rear seats.

Applies to: Coupe
Fig. 63 Rear bench seat: lower LATCH anchors
Observe the safety precautions > page 57.
In the United States and Canada, child safety
seats can be secured without safety belts using
the LATCH system. LATCH stands for Lower An-
chors and Tethers for Children. In Canada, similar
systems are called UCRA, LUAS, or UAS.
The Lower LATCH anchors in your vehicle are lo-
cated on the seats of the rear bench seat be-
tween the seat surface and the backrest. These
seating locations each have two lower LATCH an-
chors that can be used to secure a LATCH child
safety seat. Marking points with a > fig. 63 sym-
bol are located on the covers for the lower LATCH
anchors. You can locate the LATCH anchors using
the marking points.
> Remove the covers from both LATCH anchors.
> Secure the unused safety belt that is within
range of the child. To do this, fasten the safety
belt for the seat where the child safety seat will
be installed. Activate the belt retractor lock on
the fastened safety belt. To do this, pull the up-
60
per belt out completely and then allow it to re-
tract. You will hear a clicking sound while the
belt is retracting. It will not be possible to pull
the safety belt out any farther.
> Make sure the fastened safety belt does not
block access to the LATCH anchors. Otherwise,
it may not be possible to secure the child safety
seat to the LATCH anchors correctly.
>» Secure the child safety seat according to the
child safety seat manufacturer instructions.
> Pull on the child safety seat to check if both
sides are engaged correctly in the LATCH an-
chors.
> If possible, also secure the child safety seat to
the respective top tether anchor in the vehicle
=> page 62.

ZX WARNING
— The LATCH anchors in the vehicle are only
designed for child safety seats with the
LATCH system. To reduce the risk of serious
or fatal injury, never secure other child re-
straint systems, belts, or objects to the an-
chors.
-Achild in a child safety seat could play with
the unused safety belts and then become
entangled in them, which increases the risk
of fatal injury. Always secure the unused
safety belt so that it is not within reach of
children in child safety seats.

G) Tips
The LATCH anchors are designed for a total
weight (child and child safety seat combined)
up to 65 lbs (29 kg). If the total weight is
greater than this, the child safety seat must
be secured with the vehicle safety belt.
Securing child safety seats with a safety
rit
Observe the safety precautions > page 57. The
front passenger’s seat is a dangerous location for
a child, even with an advanced airbag system. If

rect top tether anchor if possible > page 62.
Activating the belt retractor lock
If you secure a child safety seat using the vehicle
safety belt, you must activate the belt retractor
lock. Follow the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions.
The belt retractor lock prevents the safety belt
from becoming loose while driving, which could
result in the child safety seat no longer being ad-
equately secured.

low it to retract. You will hear a clicking sound
while the belt is retracting. It will not be possi-
ble to pull the safety belt out any farther.
> Push the child safety seat into the seat and al-
low the belt to retract more.
> Make sure that the child safety seat cannot
move more than 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Deactivating the belt retractor lock
> Unbuckle the safety belt from the belt latch.
> Remove the child safety seat according to the
manufacturer instructions.
> Allow the safety belt to retract completely. The
belt retractor lock is deactivated.

Z\ WARNING
— A safety belt that is not locked by the belt
retractor lock or a locking device cannot se-
cure a child safety seat while driving or in
the event of an accident, which increases
the risk of fatal injury. Always make sure the
belt retractor lock on the safety belt is acti-
vated if the child safety seat manufacturer
instructions require it.
— Due to the risk of fatal injury, never place a
rear-facing child safety seat on the front
passenger's seat when the front passenger's
airbag is switched on.
—For the child safety seat to offer the maxi-
mum protection, it is especially important
to route the vehicle safety belt correctly. Al-
ways follow the instructions from the child
safety seat manufacturer for routing the
safety belt correctly. Incorrectly fastened
safety belts can cause injuries, even during

minor accidents.

Storage and convenience


— Never drive with containers that contain hot
liquid such as coffee or tea. The hot liquid
could spill and cause burns during a colli-
sion, sudden braking or other vehicle move-
ment. Spilled hot liquid can also increase
the risk of accidents and injuries.
— Only use soft containers in the cup holders.
Hard cups and glasses can increase the risk
of injury during a collision.
— Never use the cup holder or the adapter as
an ashtray because this is a fire hazard.

@) Note
Beverage containers in the cup holders should
always
have a lid. Otherwise, the liquid inside
could spill and cause damage to vehicle
equipment.
Storage areas and
compartments
Depending on vehicle equipment, there are a va-
riety of storage areas, compartments, and retain-
ers, such as the glove compartment, for safely
storing and securing objects.

ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of injury, make sure all
storage compartments are always closed
while driving.
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Store objects securely while
driving.
— Only use the storage compartments in the
door trim panels to store small objects that
will not stick out of the compartment and
impair the function of the side airbags.
— Make sure your view toward the rear is not
blocked, for example by hanging clothing or
objects in the vehicle.
— Applies to: Coupe: No heavy or hard objects
may be placed on the storage compartment
behind the rear seat backrest. There is a risk
of
injuring the vehicle passengers when
braking suddenly.

64
— Applies to: Coupe: Only lightweight clothing
should be hung from the garment hooks in
the vehicle. Do not use clothes hangers to
hang clothing. The pockets of the clothing
must not contain any heavy, breakable, or
sharp-edged objects. This could impair the
effectiveness of the side curtain airbags.

Luggage compartment
General information
All pieces of luggage or objects must be securely
fastened in the luggage compartment. Note the
following to maintain good vehicle handling:
> Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com-
partment.
> Stow heavy luggage as far forward in the lug-
gage compartment as possible.
» Use non-elastic cords attached to the tie-downs
to secure objects.

ZX WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Always stow objects securely in
the luggage compartment and secure them
at the tie-downs. Use straps suitable for
heavy objects.
— If pieces of luggage or objects are secured to
the tie-downs with unsuitable or damaged
straps, this can increase the risk of injury
during braking maneuvers or accidents.
— When transporting heavy objects, the vehi-
cle characteristics will change due to the
shift in the center of gravity, which increases
the risk of an accident. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions.

8S1012721BE
Storage and convenience



— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ad-
equately secured. Attempting to secure
heavy objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 264.
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked in and may not be able to escape
by themselves.
— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
hicle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 49.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover must always be securely fas-
tened when in use to reduce the risk of an
accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: The luggage compart-
ment cover is not a surface for storing ob-
jects. Objects placed on the cover increase
the risk of injury to all vehicle occupants
during sudden driving or braking maneuvers
or in the event of an accident.
— Applies to: Coupe: Be careful when releasing
the backrest and folding it forward. To re-
duce the risk of being pinched, pay attention
and check when folding backrests forward.
— Applies to: Coupe: The backrest must be se-
curely latched so objects cannot slide for-
ward out of the luggage compartment dur-
ing sudden braking.
— Applies to: Coupe: Always pull forward on
the backrest to make sure it is check if it is
correctly locked in place.

CG) Note
Applies to: Coupe
— If you move the front seat back when the

rear seat.
— When folding the backrest forward, make
sure the outer safety belts are in the belt
guide recess so that they do not get pinched
in the backrest lock and damaged. Other ob-
jects should be removed from the rear
bench seat to protect the backrest from
damage.
— Make sure that the heating grid strips for
the rear window defogger are not damaged
by abrasive objects.
