EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
Important safety notes
G WARNING
When the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature adjusts
the steering wheel, you and other vehicle
occupants – particularly children – could
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is mak-
ing adjustments, make sure that no one has
any body parts in the sweep of the steering
wheel.
If somebody becomes trapped:
press one of the memory function position
R
buttons, or
move the switch for steering wheel adjust-
R
ment in the opposite direction to that in
which the steering wheel is moving.
The adjustment process is stopped.
G WARNING
If you drive off while the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature is making adjustments, you could lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Always wait until the adjustment process is
complete before driving off.
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 233).
Y
Possible causes/consequences and M M Solutions
The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical con-
sumers are switched on.
Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as
X
the rear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the steering wheel
heating will switch back on automatically.
