138Seats and storage compartments
system when the vehicle is being driven temporarily by a different driver
whose settings do not need to be stored in the memory.
Note
You can also use the remote control to call up the stored settings
⇒ page 139. 
Storing settings
The STOP button must be in its down position (pressed in) before
you can store the desired settings.
– Adjust the driver seat as required ⇒ page 135.
– Adjust both exterior mirrors ⇒ page 131.
– Press and hold the MEMO
button. At the same time, press one
of the memory buttons for at least a second.
– Release both buttons. The setting is now stored on the selected
memory button.
Any new setting selected automatically cancels the existing setting stored
on the memory button. It is best to begin with memory button No. 1 for the
first driver and then assign the other memory buttons to each subsequent
driver.
The seat and mirror positions are stored when the vehicle is locked with the
remote control and are assigned to the remote control key. The exterior mir-
rors adjust automatically to the previous position when you unlock the vehi-
cle; the driver seat adjusts automatically when you open the driver door.
However, this does not delete the settings stored in memory buttons 1 to 4.
These settings can be enabled at any time. Activating settings
Stored settings can be recalled using either the memory but-
tons or the remote control (remote control key).
Using the memory buttons
– If the driver door is open, press the desired memory button
briefly.
– If the driver door is closed, press and hold down the appropri-
ate memory button until the seat and exterior mirrors reach
their programmed positions.
Using the remote control
– Unlock the vehicle using the remote control and open the driver
door within the next ten minutes.
The seat adjustment will have to be called up using the memory buttons if
the driver door is not opened within 10 minutes after unlocking the vehicle
with the remote control.
WARNING
● For safety reasons, the seat must only be adjusted when the vehicle
is at a standstill. Failure to do so could result in an accident.
● In an emergency, the memory function can be stopped at any time by
pressing the STOP button or by briefly pressing any of the memory but-
tons.
