– The mirrors demist for some minutes to prevent draining the
battery.
– If necessary, press the button again to repeat the function.
– The exterior mirror heating is not activated with temperatures above 20 °C.
Folding in exterior mirrors*
–Turn the control ⇒page 102, fig. 66 to position
 to fold in the
exterior mirrors. You should always fold in the exterior mirrors if
you are driving through an automa tic car wash. This will help
prevent damage.
Folding exterior mirrors back out to the extended position*
– Turn the knob to position L or R to fold the exterior mirrors back out ⇒ .
WARNING
•Convex or aspheric mirrors increase the field of vision however the
objects appear smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you use these
mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles behind you when changing
lane, you could make a mistake. Risk of accident.•If possible, use the rear view mirror to estimate distances to vehicles
behind you.•Make sure that you do not get your finger trapped between the mirror
and the mirror base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of injury!For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer
needed. Otherwise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste.
Note
•If the electrical adjustment ever fails to operate, the mirrors can be
adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.•In vehicles with electric exterior mirrors, the following points should be
observed: if, due to an external force (e.g. a knock while manoeuvring), the
adjustment of the mirror housing is altered, the mirror will have to be
completely folded electrically. D o n o t r e a d j us t t h e m i r r o r h o us i n g b y ha n d , a s
this will interfere with the mirror adjuster function.•The rear view mirrors can be adjusted separately or simultaneously, as
described before.•The fold-in function on the exterior mirrors is not active at speeds over 40
km/h.

Head restraintsCorrect adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of
passenger protection and can reduce the risk of injuries in
most accident situations.
– Adjust the head restraint so that the top is at the same level as
the top of your head or as close as possible to the same level as
the top of your head, at least at eye level ⇒fig. 67 and ⇒ fig. 68.Adjusting the head restraints ⇒page 106.
WARNING
•Travelling with the head restraints removed or improperly adjusted
increases the risk of severe injuries.•Improperly adjusted head restraints could lead to death in the event of
a collision or accident.•Incorrectly adjusted head restraints also increase the risk of injury
during sudden or unexpected driving or braking manoeuvres.•The head restraints must always be adjusted according to the
passenger’s height.

•When fitting the head restraints again, insert the tubes as far as possible
into the guides without pressing the button. Front seatsAdjustment of the front seats Adjusting the seat forwards and backwards
– Pull up the grip and move the seat forwards or backwards.
– Then release the grip and move the seat further until the catch engages.
Adjusting seat height
– Pull the lever up or push down (several times if necessary) from its home position. This adjust s the seat height in stages. Adjusting the backrest angle
– Take your weight off the backrest and turn the hand wheel.
WARNING
•Never adjust the driver or front passenger seat while the vehicle is in
motion. While adjusting your seat, you will assume an incorrect sitting
position. Risk of fatal accidents. Adjust the driver or front passenger seat
only when the vehicle is stationary.•To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger in case of
a sudden braking or an accident, ne ver drive with the backrest tilted
towards the rear. The maximum protection of the seat belt can be achieved
only when the backrests are in an upright position and the driver and front
passenger have properly adjusted their seat belts. The further the back-
rests are tilted to the rear, the greater the risk of injury due to improper
positioning of the belt web!•Exercise caution when securing the seat height into forwards/back-
wards position. Injuries can be caused if the seat height is adjusted
without due care and attention.•To move the seat lengthways, pull upwards and not sideways on the
lever, as the force exerted on it in this position could damage it.

•Loose luggage and other loose items in the vehicle may cause serious
injuries.•Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and
change the way the vehicle handles.•In case of sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the
passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring passengers.•Always put objects in the luggage compartment.•When you transport heavy objects, always take in account that a
change in the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle handling.•Please observe information on safe driving ⇒page 7, “Safe driving”.Caution
Hard objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating
element in the rear window and cause damage.
Note
The ventilation slots in front of the rear side windows must not be covered as
this would prevent stale air being extracted from the vehicle.

Air conditioningHeatingControls– Using the controls and and with the switch ⇒fig. 88
you can adjust the temperature, the air distribution and the
blower speed.
– Press the button to switch ai r recirculation mode on or off.
When the function is activated, a warning light on the button is
turned on.Te m p e r a t u r e
Switch adjusts temperature. The required temperature inside the vehicle
cannot be lower than the ambient temperature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available when the engine
has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four speeds with switch . The blower should
always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control for setting the flow of air in the required direction.
< – Air distribution towards the windscreen in order to demist. For safety
reasons, it is not recommended to switch air recirculation on. – Air distribution to the upper body – Air distribution to footwell – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation mode on (a lamp lights up in red) prevents strong odours
from the outside air from entering in the vehicle, for example when passing
through a tunnel or in a traffic jam ⇒.
When the outside temperature is low, air recirculation mode improves
heating performance by heating air from the interior instead of cold air from
the outside.
WARNING
•For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarise
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.
