Coupe: belt hand-over
The concept
Mirrors
The belt hand-over makes it easier for you to
fasten your safety belt. When you close the
door and switch on radio readiness or the igni-
tion, the belt hand-over extends automatically
and presents the safety belt in a position that is
convenient for fastening it around you. After
you have fastened your safety belt, the belt
hand-over retracts to its original position.
Exterior mirrors
The front passenger's mirror is more con-

The belt hand-over will extend only if the seat is
occupied and after the front passenger's door is
closed.
Manual adjustment
The mirrors can also be adjusted manually:
press the edge of the glass.
Pinch protection system
Folding mirrors in and out*
If the belt hand-over encounters resistance on
moving in or out, it moves back slightly in the
opposite direction and stops in this position. To
reactivate the belt hand-over: open and close
the door or switch the ignition off and on.
At driving speeds up to approx. 12 mph/
20 km/h, you can fold the mirrors in and out by
pressing button 3. This can be beneficial in nar-
row streets, for example, or for moving mirrors
