Seat and mirror memory
*
Adjusting steering wheel
To select a stored setting:Automatic:
1 Open driver's door after unlocking or
ignition key in position 1
2 Briefly press memory button 1, 2 or 3
as desired.
The adjustment cycle is canceled im-
mediately if you press a seat adjust-
ment switch or one of the memory
buttons.
Manual:
1 With driver's door closed and ignition
key either removed or in position
0 or 2
2 Maintain pressure on desired mem-
ory button 1, 2 or 3 until the adjust-
ment process is completed.
If you press the
M
EMORY button acci-
dentally: Press the button a second
time, the indicator lamp goes out.
Do not select a memory position
while the vehicle is moving. There
is a risk of accident from unexpected
seat movement.<
You can adapt the vehicle settings
so that your own personalized
seat setting is initiated when you unlock
the car using your personalized remote
control key.<
When this setting is used, be sure
that the footwell behind the driver's
seat is clear before unlocking the vehi-
cle. Otherwise, persons or objects could
be injured or damaged should the seat
move backward.<
1 Push the locking lever downward
2 Adjust the steering wheel (fore/aft
and up/down) to the desired position
3 Pull the lever back in to clamp the
steering wheel in the new position.
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. There
is a risk of accident from unexpected
movement. See pages 48 and 58 for in-
formation on correct seating/steering
wheel position.<460de073

MirrorsInside rearview mirror with
automatic dimming feature
*
This mirror automatically dims with infi-
nitely-variable settings, depending on
light intensity due to ambient lighting
and headlamp glare from the rear.
The mirror switches to its clear, un-
dimmed mode whenever the transmis-
sion is placed in reverse gear (selector
lever in "Reverse").
To ensure that the mirror continues to
operate properly, keep the two photo-
cells clean and unobstructed. One pho-
tocell (arrow) is in the mirror glass, while
the other is offset somewhat on the
other side of the mirror.
For an explanation of the electrochro-
mic technology used in this mirror, refer
to page 163.460de020

Inside rearview mirror with automatic dimmer
*
The interior rearview mirror with auto-
matic dimming feature reduces glare
from following traffic by adapting the in-
tensity of the reflected images to corre-
spond to levels of light registered by the
unit's sensors. The mirror reverts to its
undimmed setting as soon as the light
source disappears. One light sensor is
mounted on the front of the mirror
housing. This sensor, that is directed
forward, measures light intensity in the
area ahead of the vehicle. The second
sensor is integrated within the mirror's
glass. The electronic control system
compares the light intensity from front
and rear. The difference provides the
basic parameter used to modulate an
electrical current and induce chemical
changes in a semisolid layer incorpo-
rated in the lens.390de113
The semisolid reacts chemically to this
electrical current, thus providing infi-
nitely-variable dimming of the mirror
(electrochromic technology).
As a result, it is no longer necessary to
dim the mirror manually, and the driver
can maintain full concentration on traf-
fic.
