Nothing.  It should work automagically.  Which it does on my system.
I've just tested it explicitely since your postings made me nervous.

However, the unix/dos file recognition works based on examining only
the first line, AFAIK, so if the first line has only a LF instead of
an CRLF for some reason, vim treats the file as unixy.  Then you see
the ^M beginning with line 2.
