To switch off: press and hold down the button.
The highest stage with three LEDs lit is
for a rapid cooling effect, e.g. if the car's
interior has become very hot. The system auto-
matically switches down a stage after a short
time to avoid overcooling.
<
Active seat*
The seat cushion is actively varied by the right
and left halves of the seat cushion being raised
and lowered alternately. This helps to avoid
muscular strain and signs of fatigue, and thus
guards against back pains in the lumbar region.
To switch on, press the button; the LED lights
up.
When you switch off the active seat, it may take
up to 1 minute for the two halves of the base
cushion to return to their home positions.
Mirrors
Door mirrors
The outer sections of the mirrors depict a larger
field of view
* than the inner sections. In this
way, the view to the rear is extended and the
blind spot, as it is known, is reduced in size.
The objects seen in the mirrors are closer
than they appear. Do not gauge your dis-
tance from following traffic based on what you
see in the mirrors; otherwise there is an
increased risk of accident.

and steering wheel position memory on

Adjusting manually
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually by
pressing the edge of the glass.
Folding mirrors in and out*
At speeds up to approx. 30 km/h, approx.
20 mph, you can fold the mirrors in or out by
pressing button
3. This can be useful for exam-
ple in car washes or narrow streets, or to fold
the mirrors back out into the correct position
after they have been folded in manually. If the
mirrors have been folded in, they automatically
fold out again when a speed of approx. 40 km/h,
approx. 25 mph, is reached.
Before putting the car through a car wash,
fold the mirrors in either manually or by
pressing button 3, otherwise they could be
damaged on account of the car's width. <
Automatic heating
Both outside mirrors are heated automatically
while the engine is running or the ignition
switched on.
