Risk of injury
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
move the switch for steering wheel adjust-
ment in the opposite direction to that in
which the steering wheel is moving.
R
press one of the memory function position
buttons.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They could open the driver's door and
thereby unintentionally activate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature and become trapped.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting
in and out of your vehicle easier.
The steering wheel swings upwards when
you:
R
remove the key from the ignition lock
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.
If you insert the key into the ignition lock with
the driver's door closed, the steering wheel is
automatically moved to the previously set
position.
The last position of the steering wheel is
stored after each manual setting or when you
store the setting with the memory function
(
Y
page 103).
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board com-
puter (
Y
page 208).
i
If the crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature
is triggered in an accident, the steering col-
umn will move upwards when the driver's
door is opened. This occurs irrespective of
the position of the key in the ignition lock.
This makes it easier to exit the vehicle and
rescue the occupants.
The crash-responsive EASY-EXIT feature is
only operational after an accident if the
EASY-EXIT/ENTRY feature is activated in
the on-board computer.
