Opening a garage door
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed button. Activation will now
occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security system,
entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.).
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.
Rearview auto-dimming
mirrors
3
The autodimming is activated and deacti-
vated with a short push on button 2.
If the mirror is equipped with Garage Door
Opener (option) the letter 1 is displayed on
compass bearing display briefly when auto
dimming is activated. When deactivating
the letter 0 is displayed.
The interior rearview mirror has two sen-
sors, one forward-facing and one rear-fac-
ing. They also activate and deactivate the
auto dimming feature on door mirrors.
The system is activated when the for-
ward-facing sensor detects that it is dark
outside and the rear-facing sensor detects.
For example, if the car following has not
dimmed its headlights. The rearview mirrors
are then darkened to prevent the strong light
source from dazzling the driver. This dark-
ening is stepless.
The mirrors return to their normal states
when the strong light source diminishes.
The auto dimming function can be turned
OFF with the switch on the lower edge of the
rear-view mirror.
NOTE
Towing a trailer can cause the system to
malfunction, as the rear-facing sensor may
sense light from the trailer.
NOTICESwitch off the power supply to the garage
door or gate (or park the car beyond the
range of the remote control) while pro-
gramming using the "cycling" method to
prevent damaging the electrical motor.

TrunkFolding the rear seat, 9-5 SedanThe rear seat is split and the two sections can be folded indepen-
dently. Folding down of the rear seat is easier if the front seats are
not all the way back, and the rear head restraints are folded down.
1 Raise the rear seat cushions by pulling the loop located between
the cushion and the backrest.
2 Tip the seat cushion forward.
3 Press the button adjacent to the respective backrest to release it.
4 Fold down the backrest.
WARNING
 Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During
sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage
compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil-
dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.
 Rear-seat passengers should always ensure that the head
restraint is raised and in proper position for the seats to be
occupied.
 Keep hands well clear of all moving parts.
 Never place heavy objects on the rear window shelf. There is
always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing
injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a
crash.
 Before folding up the backrest, hang the outer safety belts
onto the hook on the respective courtesy handle to prevent
them from becoming trapped.
 Check that the seatbelt locks do not get trapped under the
seat cushions when these are raised back up.
 Make sure that the backrest is locked when it is restored to an
upright position. Check that the back rest release button (3) is
flush with the surround before entering the rear seat. This indi-
cates that the backrest is locked.

Parcel shelf, 9-5 SportCombiFold the parcel shelf as follows:
1 Press the rear edge of the shelf downwards and forwards.
2 Continue pressing the folded section forward until it is folded over
the front section.
Extend the parcel shelf as follows:
1 Hold the rear edge of the shelf and pull it back.
2 The shelf rests on a track located beneath the rear side windows.
Make sure that the rear corner fits in the recess. Otherwise it will
not lie flat.
Alternative location of the parcel shelf if this is removed:
 Folded up on the floor at the rear of the luggage compartment.
 On its end on the floor behind the front seat backrest.
WARNING
 Do not travel in the back seat without ensuring that the head
restraint is set at a suitable height for the seats to be occupied.
 Never allow anyone to sit on a folded backrest.
 Always be aware of the risk of pinching when handling moving
parts of the seating.
 Never place heavy objects on the parcel shelf. There is always
a danger of loose objects flying about and causing injury if the
car should brake suddenly or be involved in a crash.
 Make sure that the backrests are locked when they are folded
back upright. Check that the two red warning-indication flags
are fully down. This indicates that the backrests are locked.
 Check that the safety belt lock is not trapped under the seat
cushions when these are raised back up.
 Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During
sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage
compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil-
dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.
The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during
driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so
that children, for example, do not burn themselves.95_US_MY09.book Page 133 Tuesday, April 15, 2008 11:03 AM

135 Interior equipment and trunk
Load anchoring
Driving with the trunk lid/tailgate open,
see page 181.
WARNING
 Put heavy loads as low down and as
far forward as possible in the luggage
compartment, i.e. against the back of
the rear seat.
Never overload the cargo net3. If the
elastic breaks this may cause personal
injury. Do not use a cargo net that
shows signs of wear.
 Never stack cargo so high that any part
of the cargo lies above the edge of the
backrest, if a cargo guard3 is not
being used.
 Always tie down the cargo so that it
cannot be thrown forward during
heavy braking or in the event of a
crash.
 Unsecured and heavy cargo can
increase the risk of injury during hard
braking, sudden avoidance maneu-
vers and in the event of a crash.
 For the best load anchoring, use the
special cargo tie down eye and load
straps3.
 Load the cargo tie down eyes evenly.
Never attach more than one strap to
each tie down eye.
 Provide protection on sharp edges to
prevent damage to the load straps.
 Never use the elastic floor net3 and
elastic side net (accessory) when the
rear seat is folded down. These nets
are only intended to keep light objects
tidy, not for the anchoring of loads.
 If possible, avoid having the rear seat
folded down when driving with a heavy
load because the anchoring possibili-
ties are restricted when the rear seat is
in this position. That the rear seat is
in the upright position is a basic
requirement for protection against
cargo displacement in the event of
a crash.
 Cargo can intrude into the passenger
compartment during a sudden stop or
front crash if the outer safety belts are
not fastened. Check that the two red
warning-indication flags are fully
down. This shows that the backrests
are locked.
WARNING
 Match the speed and driving style
according to how the car is loaded.
The driving characteristics of the car
can be affected because the center of
gravity is altered when there is a cargo
in the luggage compartment.
 An object weighing 55 lbs. (25 kg) cor-
responds to a weight of 2200 lbs.
(1000 kg) in a head on crash at
32 mph (50 km/h).
 Adjust the car’s load (passengers and
luggage) so that the gross vehicle
weight or the axle weight is not
exceeded, see page 258.
