Problems with the steering wheel heat-
ing
If steering wheel heating indicator lamp = is
flashing, the steering wheel heating has
switched off automatically. The vehicle's
electrical system voltage is too low because
too many electrical consumers are switched
on.
X
Switch off electrical consumers that you do
not need, such as the rear window heating
or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the
steering wheel heating will switch back on
automatically.
EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when you activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea-
ture.
If there is a risk of someone becoming trap-
ped, stop the adjustment procedure. To halt
the procedure:
R
press the steering column adjustment but-
ton.
R
briefly press one of the memory function
position buttons.
The steering column stops moving immedi-
ately.
Do not keep the memory function position
button pressed down, otherwise the memory
function will start and the steering wheel and
seat will begin to move.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They could open the driver's door and
thereby unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY feature and become trapped.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting
in and out of your vehicle easier.
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board com-
puter (

page 244).
Position of the steering wheel when the
EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is active
The steering wheel tilts upwards if you:
R
remove the key from the ignition lock
R
open the driver's door and KEYLESS-GO is
in position 1
R
open the driver's door and the key is in
position 0 or 1 in the ignition lock
i
The steering wheel only moves upwards if
it has not already reached the upper end
stop.
Position of the steering wheel for driv-
ing
The steering wheel is moved to the previously
set position if:
R
the driver's door is closed and
R
you insert the key into the ignition lock
or
R
you press the Start/Stop button once on
vehicles with KEYLESS-GO.
If you close the driver's door with the key
inserted into the ignition lock, the steering
wheel is automatically moved to the previ-
ously set position.
The last position of the steering wheel is
stored when you switch off the ignition or
when you store the setting with the memory
function (
Y
page 111).
Crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
triggered in an accident, the steering column
will move upwards when the driver's door is
opened. This occurs irrespective of the posi-
tion of the key in the ignition lock. This makes
it easier to exit the vehicle and rescue the
occupants.
