Rear view mirror
Automatic antiglare rear view mirror The reflection brightness of the exterior rear view mirror on the driver’s side and the interior rear view mirror will respond automatically to glare when: 앫 the ignition is switched on, and 앫 incoming light from headlamps falls on the sensor in the interior rear view mir- ror
The rear view mirror will not react if 앫 reverse gear is engaged 앫 the interior lighting is turned on

Warning!
Warning!
Exercise care when using the passenger side exterior rear view mirror. The mirror surface is convex (outwardly curved surface for a wider field of view). Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Check your in- terior rear view mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.
Electrolyte drops coming into contact with the vehicle paint finish can be completely removed only while in the liquid state by applying plenty of water.
The automatic antiglare function does not react if incoming light is not aimed directly at sensors in the interior rear view mirror.
The interior rear view mirror and the exterior rear view mirror on the driver’s side do not react, for example, if the rear window sun- shade is in raised position.
Glare can endanger you and others.
Warning!
In the case of an accident liquid electrolyte may escape from the mirror housing if the mirror glass breaks.
Electrolyte has an irritating effect. Do not al- low the liquid to come into contact with eyes, skin, clothing, or respiratory system. In case it does, immediately flush affected area with water, and seek medical help if necessary.
Activating exterior rear view mirror parking position Follow these steps to activate the mirror parking position so that the passen- ger-side exterior rear view mirror will be turned downward to the stored position. 왘 Make sure you have stored a parking position for the passenger-side exterior rear view mirror (컄 page 118).
왘 Make sure the Mirror adjustment parking aid function in the Conve- nience submenu of the control system is switched on (컄 page 152).
왘 Switch on ignition (if not already on). 왘 Press button 2 for the passenger-side

Windshield wipers
Information on the windshield wipers is found in the “Getting started” section (컄 page 48).
Intermittent wiping is interrupted when the vehicle is at a standstill and a front door is opened.
A rain sensor automatically controls the windshield wipers depending on how wet the windshield is. 왘 Switch on ignition. 왘 Set the wiper switch to position I
(컄 page 48).
After the initial wipe, pauses between wipes are automatically controlled by the rain sensor.

Controls in detail Good visibility
Do not leave windshield wipers in inter- mittent setting when the vehicle is tak- en to an automatic car wash or during windshield cleaning. Wipers will oper- ate in the presence of water sprayed on the windshield, and wipers may be damaged as a result. The switch should not be left in inter- mittent setting as the wipers will wipe the windshield once every time the en- gine is started. Dust that accumulates on the windshield might scratch the glass and/or damage the wiper blades when wiping occurs on a dry wind- shield.

Rear window defroster
The rear window defroster uses a large amount of power. To keep the battery drain to a minimum, switch off the defrost- er as soon as the rear window is clear. The defroster is automatically deactivated af- ter approximately 6 to 17 minutes of oper- ation depending on the outside temperature.
Activating 왘 Press button Fon the climate con- trol panel (컄 page 173) or the automat- ic climate control panel (컄 page 176). The indicator lamp on the button comes on.
Deactivating 왘 Press button F again.
The indicator lamp on the button goes out.
Warning!
Any accumulation of snow and ice should be removed from the rear window before driv- ing. Visibility could otherwise be impaired, endangering you and others.
If the rear window defroster switches off too soon and the indicator lamp starts flashing, this means that too many electrical consumers are operat- ing simultaneously and there is insuffi- cient voltage in the battery. The system responds automatically by deactivating the rear window defroster. As soon as the battery has sufficient voltage, the rear window defroster au- tomatically turns itself back on.

The climate control is operational whenev- er the engine is running. You can operate the climate control system in either the au- tomatic or manual mode. The system cools or heats the interior depending on the se- lected interior temperature and the cur- rent outside temperature.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors are filtered out before outside air en- ters the passenger compartment through the air distribution system. The air conditioning will not engage (no cooling) if the ACOFF mode is selected (컄 page 182).
Warning!
Warning!
Follow the recommended settings for heat- ing and cooling given on the following pag- es. Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.
When operating the automatic climate con- trol, the air that enters the passenger com- partment through the air vents in the footwell can be very hot or very cold (de- pending on the set temperature). This may cause burns or frostbite to unprotected skin in the immediate area of the air vents. Al- ways keep sufficient distance between un- protected parts of the body and the footwell air vents. If necessary change the air flow using the air distribution controls (컄 page 176) to direct the air away from the footwell air vents.
Controls in detail Climate control
Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollu- tion) may require replacement of the fil- ter before its scheduled interval. A clogged filter will reduce the air volume to the interior. If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the interior before driving off. Keep the air intake grille in front of the windshield free of snow and debris. Do not obstruct air flow by placing ob- jects on the air flow-through exhaust slots below the rear window.

The automatic climate control is a 4-zone intelligent climate control system. Your ve- hicle interior is divided into 4 zones.
Warning!
When operating the automatic climate con- trol, the air that enters the passenger com- partment through the air vents in the footwell can be very hot or very cold (de- pending on the set temperature). This may cause burn or frostbite to unprotected skin in the immediate area of the air vents. Al- ways keep sufficient distance between un- protected parts of the body and the footwell air vents. If necessary change the air flow using the air distribution controls (컄 page 186) to direct the air away from the footwell air vents.

With the help of a sun sensor, the automat- ic climate control determines the relation of the sun to the vehicle and automatically adjusts the inside temperature for every in- dividual zone. You can set the temperature for each of the 4 zones separately. These settings can be assigned to a SmartKey and stored in memory (컄 page 152). The automatic climate control is operation- al whenever the engine is running. It cools the vehicle’s interior according to the an- gle and intensity of the sun’s rays, the out- side temperature and the selected temperature. You can operate the climate control system in either the automatic or manual mode.

Do not obstruct air flow by placing ob- jects on the air flow-through exhaust slots below the rear window.
