Make sure that the exterior mirrors are
always folded out fully while the vehicle is
in motion; otherwise, they may vibrate.
Resetting the exterior mirrors If the battery has been disconnected or has
become discharged, the exterior mirrors
must be reset. Otherwise, the exterior mirrors
will not fold in when you select the "Fold in
mirrors when locking" function in the on-
board computer (Y page 136).
X Make sure that the key is in position 1in
the ignition lock.
X Briefly press button :.
Automatically folding exterior mirrors
in or out* If the "Fold in mirrors when locking" function
is activated in the on-board computer
(Y
page 136):
R the exterior mirrors fold in automatically as
soon as you lock the vehicle from the out-
side.
R the exterior mirrors fold out again automat-
ically as soon as you unlock the vehicle and
then open the driver's or front-passenger
door.
i If you have activated this function and fold
in the exterior mirrors using button :, they
will not be folded out automatically. You
can only fold out the exterior mirrors again
using button :. Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors*
The rear-view mirror and the exterior mirror
on the driver's side automatically go into anti-
dazzle mode if the ignition is switched on and
incident light from headlamps strikes the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror.
The mirrors do not go into anti-dazzle mode if
reverse gear is engaged or the interior lighting
is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If the incident light from headlamps cannot
strike the sensor in the rear-view mirror, for
instance, when the rear window blind* is
extended, the mirror's automatic anti-dazzle
function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may
distract you from the traffic conditions, and
you may, thereby, cause an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually. Memory functions*
Storing settings
Using the memory button you can store up to
three different settings, e. g. for three differ-
ent people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
R position of the seat, backrest and head
restraint
R active multicontour seat*: dynamic func-
tion level
R driver's side: steering wheel position
R driver's side: position of the exterior mir-
rors on the driver's and front-passenger
sides G
Risk of injury
The memory function can still be used when
the key has been removed. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. Otherwise, they could become
trapped when moving the seat or the steering
wheel. G
Risk of accident
Only use the memory function on the driver’s
side when the vehicle is stationary. Other-
wise, you could be distracted from the traffic
conditions by the steering wheel and seat
moving of their own accord, and as a result
cause an accident. Memory functions*

R be routed across the middle of your
shoulder.
R be routed in your pelvic area across the
hip joints. Lights
Exterior lighting
Notes on the exterior lighting For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, daytime operation of headlamps varies
due to legal and voluntary requirements. In
these countries, daytime driving lights are
automatically switched on when the engine is
started.
The exterior lighting (except the side lamp/
parking lamp) switches off automatically if
you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door with the ignition
turned off (key in position 0in the ignition
lock).
! Switch off the side lamps and parking
lamp when you leave the vehicle. This pre-
vents the battery from discharging. Information about driving abroad Converting to symmetrical dipped beam
when driving abroad:
switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the country where the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents oncoming traffic from
being dazzled.
Have the headlamps converted at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, as close to the border as pos-
sible before driving in these countries. Sym-
metrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway.
Converting to asymmetrical dipped beam
after returning: have the headlamps conver-
ted back to asymmetrical dipped beam at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, as soon as
possible after crossing the border when
returning.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System*: if
the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, not all light functions are avail-
able. "Motorway mode" and the "extended
range foglamps" are deactivated
(Y page 133). Lights

Risk of accident
If the light switch is set to the cposition,

aid. The driver is responsible for the vehicle's
lighting at all times. G
