Mirrors
67WARNINGExterior mirrors increase the field of view, however, they make objects ap-
pear smaller and further away. Therefore, use the interior mirror whenever
possible, for assessing the distances to the vehicles following behind.WARNING■ The mirrors with automatic dimming contain electrolyte fluid which may
leak if the mirror glass is broken - this can irritate skin, eyes and the respi-
ratory system.■
If your eyes or skin come into contact with the electrolytic fluid, immedi-
ately wash the affected area for a few minutes long with a lot of water. If
necessary get medical assistance.

Mirror with automatic dimming
The mirror dimming » Fig. 53 -
is automatically controlled after the engine
start.
When the interior lights are switched on or the reverse gear is engaged, the
mirror moves back into the basic position (not dimmed).
WARNING■ Attach external devices (e.g. navigation system) not in the vicinity of the
mirror with automatic dimming . The illuminated display of an external de-
vice can affect the function of the rear-view mirror -There is a risk of an ac-
cident.■
Automatic mirror dimming only operates correctly if the light striking the
sensor is not affected by other objects. The sensors are located on the
front and back of the mirror.

The aux. heating heats the vehicle interior as well as the engine. For heating,
fuel is consumed from the fuel tank.
The auxiliary ventilation enables fresh air to flow into the vehicle interior with
the engine switched off, whereby the interior temperature is effectively de-
creased (e.g. with the vehicle parked in the sun).
The aux. heating (aux. heating and ventilation) (referred to just as aux. heating in the following) ensures the heating / ventilation depending on the setting of the air conditioning and the air outlet vents before switching off the ignition.
WARNING■ The auxiliary heating must never be operated in closed rooms (e.g. garag-
es) – There is a risk of poisoning!■
The auxiliary heating must not be allowed to run during refuelling – risk
of fire.
■
The exhaust pipe of the auxiliary heating is located on the underside of
the vehicle. If you want to use the auxiliary heating, do not park the car in
places where the exhaust fumes can come into contact with flammable
materials such as dry grass, undergrowth, leaves, spilled fuel etc. - risk of
fire.
CAUTION
The air inlet in front of the windscreen must be free (e.g. of ice, snow or
leaves) to ensure that the auxiliary heating operates properly. 97Heating and ventilation

Depending on equipment fitted, it is possible to switch the ignition on/off and
start/stop the engine with the key in the ignition or using the starter button .
WARNING■
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – There is a
risk of accident!■
While driving with the engine stopped the ignition must always be
switched on. Otherwise, the steering may lock - There is a risk of an acci-
dent!
■
Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle
has come to a stop » page 105, Parking . Otherwise, the steering may lock -
danger of an accident!
■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is a
risk of theft etc!
■
Never (e.g. in garages) run the engine in a closed place - there is a risk of
poisoning and death!
CAUTION
■ Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there
is a risk of starter and engine damage!■
Do not push-start the engine – There is a risk of damaging the engine and
the catalytic converter! The battery from another vehicle can be used as a
jump-start aid.
■
On vehicles with the starter button, pay attention to where the key is loca-
ted. The system can recognize the valid key, even if it has been accidentally
left on the vehicle roof - there is danger of loss or damage to the key!
NoteDo not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start
your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-
ches its operating temperature faster.
Electronic immobiliser and steering lock
