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

position of the SmartKey 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 if the EASY-EXIT/ENTRY

feature is activated in the on-board computer.

WARNING

The exterior mirror on the front-passenger

side reduces the size of the image. Visible

objects are actually closer than they appear.

This means that you could misjudge the

distance from road users traveling behind,

e.g. when changing lane. There is a risk of an

accident.

For this reason, always make sure of the

actual distance from the road users traveling

behind by glancing over your shoulder.

The convex exterior mirrors provide a larger

field of vision.
The exterior mirrors are automatically heated

after starting the vehicle if the rear window

defroster is switched on and the outside

temperature is low. Mirror heating lasts up to

10 minutes.

You can also heat up the exterior mirrors

manually by switching on the rear window

defroster.
