Headlight cleaning systemRead and observe
and on page 77 first.
After the ignition is switched on, the headlights are always cleaned at the first
and after every tenth spray of the windscreen (setting
5
» Fig. 63 on
page 78 ), when the low beam or main beam is switched on.
You should remove stubborn dirt (such as insect residues) from the headlight
lenses at regular intervals, for example when refuelling. The following guide-
lines must be observed » page 179, Headlight lenses .
To ensure the proper operation of the cleaning system during the winter, any
snow should be removed from the washer nozzle fixtures and ice should be
cleared with a de-icing spray.
CAUTION
Never remove the nozzles from the headlight cleaning system by hand – there
is risk of damage.
Rear mirror
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Interior mirror
79
Exterior mirrors
80WARNING■ Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, condensation or
other objects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.
WARNINGThe mirrors with automatic dimming contain an electrolyte liquid which can
escape if mirror glass is broken.■
The leaking electrolytic fluid can irritate the skin, eyes and respiratory
system. Immediately seek out fresh air and leave the vehicle. If this is not
possible, at least open the window.
■
If you swallow electrolytic fluid, seek medical assistance immediately.
■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for several minutes plenty of water. Then con-
sult a doctor immediately.

When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror always moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
Do not attach external navigation devices on to the windscreen or in the vicini-
ty of the automatic dimming interior mirror »
.
WARNINGThe illuminated display of an external navigation unit can lead to opera-
tional faults to the automatic dimming interior mirror – risk of accident.
CAUTION
Automatic mirror dimming operates only properly if the light striking the sen-
sors is not affected by other objects.
Note
If the automatic interior mirror dimming is switched off, the exterior mirror
dimming is also switched off.

The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following rea-
sons.
› Reaching the controls safely and quickly.
› A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
› Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!■
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■
The electric front seat adjustment is also functional when the ignition is
turned off (even with the ignition key removed). Therefore, when leaving
the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle - there is a danger of injury!
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seat) – risk of accident!

If the engine is switched off and then turned on again within 10 mins with the
rear seat heating switched, then each rear seat heating is automatically turned
on again.WARNINGIf you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g. through
medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes), we rec-
ommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the back,
the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is
used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving
long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the stress of the jour-
ney. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The seat heater in the following cases will not turn on - there is a risk of
damaging the seat covers and seat heater. ■The seats are not occupied.
■ Items are fastened to or stored on the seats e.g. child seat, bags etc.
■ Additional seat covers or protective covers are fixed to the seats.■
Clean the seat covers » page 182, Seat covers .
Note
■
If the rear seat heating is set to the highest intensity - level 3, it is automati-
cally switched over to level 2 after 10 minutes (two warning lights are illumina-
ted on the switch).■
If the on-board voltage drops, the heater switches off automatically in order
to provide sufficient electrical power for the engine control » page 197.
Ventilated front seats
Fig. 73
Rocker switch for the seat venti-
lation
Heat and condensation can be removed from the seat cushions and seat
backrests on the front seats.
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch » Fig. 73 in the front part of
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements for the electric front
seat adjustment.
Switching on›
Switch the rocker switch to position 1 - lower intensity and to position 2 -
higher intensity.
Switching off
›
Switch the rocker switch to the centre position
.
WARNINGIf you or a passenger have limited pain and/or temperature sensitivity, e.g.
caused by medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend that you consult your physician before using the ventilated
front seat.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply concentrated pressure to them.■The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not place any ob-
jects in this area - it may damage the fan.■
Do not clean the seats using moisture. Clean the seat covers » page 182,
Seat covers .
Note
■
The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
We do not recommend using the front seat ventilation and heating at the
same time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces
the heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit
to detect the right seat surface temperature.
