ms54 Interior motion sensor*
If the interior motion sensor is primed, a vis-
ual and audible alarm is triggered if move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior whil e
the vehicle is locked. This occurs, for exam-
ple, if someone breaks the side windows of
your vehicle or reaches into the vehicle's inte -
rior.
Priming the interior motion sensor X
Make sure that:
R
the side windows are close d
R the stowage compartment under the
armrest is closed.
R there are no objects, e.g. mascots, hang-
ing on the rear-view mirror or on the
grasp handles on the roof trim.
This will prevent false alarms.
X Make sure that the roof is closed.
The interior motion sensor can only be
primed when the roof is closed (with the
exception of vehicles for the Netherlands).
Vehicles for the Netherlands: the interior
motion sensor is primed even when the
roof is open. However, the roof should be
closed so as to prevent a false alarm. X
Make sure that the boot lid is closed.
Only then can the interior motion sensor be
primed.
X Lock the vehicle using the key.
The interior motion sensor is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
To deactivate the interior motion sen-
sor To prevent a false alarm, deactivate the inte-
rior motion sensor if you lock your vehicle and

and out of your vehicle easier.
The steering wheel swings upwards whe n
you:
R remove the key from the ignition lock
R open the driver's door when the key is in
the ignition lock or in position 1.
The steering wheel is moved automatically to
the position previously set when the key is
inserted into the ignition lock with the driver's
door closed. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trap -
ped when you activate the easy-entry/exit
feature.
If there is a risk of becoming trapped, stop
the adjustment procedure. To halt the pro-
cedure:
R press the steering-column adjustment
switc h
R press one of the memory function posi-
tion buttons
The steering column stops moving immedi-
ately. Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle. They could open the driver's door
and thereby unintentionally activate the
easy-entry feature and become trapped.

wheel is stored when you switch off the igni-
tion or when you store a memory position
( Y page 68).
You can activate and deactivate the easy-
entry/exit feature via the on-board computer

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 auto-
matically 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 1, they
will not be folded out automatically. You
can then only fold out the exterior mirrors
using button 1. 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 and the interior light-
ing is switched on. G
Risk of accident
If incident light from the headlamps of othe r
vehicles is prevented from striking the sen-
sor in the rear-view mirror, for instance if the draught stop is fitted, the mirrors' auto-
matic anti-dazzle function will not operate.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This
may prevent you from observing the traffic
conditions, thereby causing an accident. In
this case, adjust the rear-view mirror man-
ually. Parking aid*
