The doors are designed to unlock
automatically after an accident if the force of
the impact exceeds a preset threshold.
The vehicle locks automatically when the
ignition is switched on and the wheels are
turning at a vehicle speed of above 9 mph
(15 km/h). You could therefore lock yourself
out when the vehicle is pushed or towed or is
on a test stand.
Locking and unlocking from the inside
GObserve Safety notes, see page 56.
You can lock or unlock the vehicle from the
inside using the central locking or unlocking
switch. This can be useful, for example, if you
want to lock the vehicle before starting to
drive.
The central locking or unlocking switch does
not lock or unlock the fuel filler flap or the
interior storage compartments, such as the
glove box.
XLocking: Press central locking switch \000G.
When the front passenger door is closed,
the vehicle locks.
XUnlocking: Press central unlocking
switch \000F.
You can open a locked front door from the
inside. Open door only when conditions are
safe to do so.
If the vehicle was previously locked with the
central locking switch
Rand the SmartKey is set to factory settings,
the complete vehicle is unlocked when a
front door is opened from the inside
Rand the SmartKey is set to selective
settings, only the front door opened from
the inside is unlocked
If the vehicle has been locked centrally with
the SmartKey or with KEYLESS-GO, it will not
unlock using the central unlocking switch.
Opening the trunk
GWarning!
Make sure the trunk is closed when the engine
is running and while driving. Among other
dangers, deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases
may enter vehicle interior resulting in
unconsciousness and death.
! When you open the trunk, the trunk lid
swings open upwards. Always make sure
there is sufficient overhead clearance.
You can open the trunk when the vehicle is
stationary.
A minimum height clearance of 5.9 ft (1.80 m)
is required to open the trunk lid.

Safety notes
GWarning!
In order to avoid possible loss of vehicle
control the following must be done before the
vehicle is put into motion:
R seat adjustment
R head restraint adjustment
R steering wheel adjustment
R rear view mirror adjustment
R fastening of seat belts
GWarning!
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Adjusting the seat while driving could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in an excessively reclined position as
this can be dangerous. You could slide under
the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under
it, the seat belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could cause serious
or fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat
belts provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a position that is as upright as
possible and seat belts are properly
positioned on the body.
GWarning!
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt.
Observe the following points:
R Adjust the seat backrest until your arms are
slightly angled when holding the steering
wheel.
R Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possible
with the driver still able to operate the
controls properly.
R Adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to the head as possible. The center of
the head restraint must support the back of
the head at eye level.
R Never place hands under the seat or near
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.GWarning!
The power seats can be operated at any time.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended
in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. A child’s unsupervised access to a
vehicle could result in an accident and/or
serious personal injury.
GWarning!
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
position. Thus, we strongly recommend that
children be placed in the rear seats whenever
possible. Regardless of seating position,
children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an
appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child. For additional
information, see “Children in the vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/

Easy-entry/exit feature
This feature allows for easier entry into and
exit from the vehicle. When entering and
exiting the vehicle, the driver’s seat moves to
its most rearward position. The steering
wheel moves to its uppermost position.
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated
the steering wheel tilts upwards and the
driver’s seat moves to its most rearward
position
Rwhen you remove the SmartKey from the
starter switch,
or
Rwhen you open the driver’s door with the
SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1
or the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button in
position 1
The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched
on or off in the Vehicle menu of the
COMAND system (Y page 208).
GWarning!
You must make sure no one can become
trapped or injured by the moving steering
wheel and driver’s seat when the easy-entry/
exit feature is activated.
To stop seat/steering wheel movement, do
one of the following:
RPress seat adjustment switch.
RMove steering wheel adjustment stalk.
RPress one of the memory position buttons
or the memory button M.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Children could open the driver’s door and
unintentionally activate the easy-entry/exit
feature, which could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
! Do not activate the easy-entry/exit
feature if the seat backrest is in an
excessively reclined position. Doing so
could cause damage to front or rear seats.
First move the seat backrest to an upright
position.

The steering wheel and driver’s seat will
return to their last set memory position or a
factory-set maximum forward position
R when you close the driver’s door with the
ignition switched on
R when you insert the SmartKey into the
starter switch
R when you press the KEYLESS-GO start/
stop button once with the driver’s door
closed
i For safety reasons, the driver’s seat will
not return to its last set position if the
system recognizes the last set position as
an extreme forward position. Instead, the
driver’s seat will remain at or move to a
factory-set maximum forward position. To
again fully return the driver’s seat to your
last set position or to memory position,
adjust the seat to the desired position or
press and hold the respective memory
position button ( Y page 297).
i The last set driver’s seat and steering
wheel positions are stored when the
ignition is switched off and the position is
stored in memory.
i If the current position for the steering
wheel is in the uppermost tilt position, the
steering wheel will not move.
If the current seat position is within a
factory-set position range and the system
recognizes the current seat position to be
rearward enough for easy entry and exit,
the driver’s seat will not move to the rear.
The adjustment procedure is interrupted
briefly when the engine is started.GWarning!
Let the system complete the adjustment
procedure before setting the vehicle in
motion. All driver’s seat and steering wheel
adjustments must be completed before
setting the vehicle in motion. Driving off with
the driver’s seat/steering wheel still
adjusting could cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
Crash-responsive exit aid
When you open the driver’s door after an
accident has occurred, the steering column
moves up. The position of the SmartKey in the
starter switch is insignificant. This function
facilitates exiting as well as rescue of vehicle
occupants.
The crash-responsive exit aid can only be
triggered when the easy-entry/exit feature is
activated via the control system.
Rear seat head restraints
GWarning!
For safety reasons, always drive with the rear
head restraints in the upright position when
the rear seats are occupied.
Keep the area around head restraints clear of
articles (e.g. clothing) to not obstruct the
folding operation of the head restraints.
GWarning!
For your protection, drive only with properly
positioned head restraints.
Adjust the head restraint in such a way that it
is as close to the head as possible and the
center of the head restraint supports the back
of the head at eye level. This will reduce the
potential for injury to the head and neck in the
event of an accident or similar situation.
With a rear seat occupied, make sure to move
the respective head restraint up from the
lowest non-use position and have the
occupant adjust the head restraint properly.
Do not drive the vehicle without the seat head
restraints installed when the rear seats are
occupied. Head restraints are intended to
help reduce injuries during an accident.
