forward-facing child restraint system

must only be used subject to the

instructions and restrictions in the

table

51.

The airbag label is located on both

sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation

46.

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of

one airbag in the steering wheel and

one in the instrument panel on the

front passenger side. These can be

identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in

the event of a front-end impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

Seats, restraints

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and head of

the front seat occupants

considerably.

Warning

Optimum protection is only

provided when the seat is in the

proper position.
Seat position

32.

Fasten the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the

airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an

airbag in each front seat backrest and

in the rear outer seat backrests. This

can be identified by the word

AIRBAG.
The side airbag system is triggered in

the event of a side impact of a certain

severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the upper body and pelvis in

the event of a side-on collision

considerably.

Seats, restraints

Notice

Only use protective seat covers that

have been approved for the vehicle.

Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of

an airbag in the roof frame on each

side. This can be identified by the

word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered

in the event of a side-on impact of a

certain severity. The ignition must be

switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the

impact, thereby reducing the risk of

injury to the head in the event of a

side-on impact considerably.

Warning

The hooks on the handles in the

roof frame are only suitable for

hanging up light articles of

clothing, without coat hangers. Do

not keep any items in these

clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system

must be deactivated for child restraint

system on the passenger seat

according to the instructions in the

table

The side airbag and curtain airbag

systems, the belt pretensioners and

all driver airbag systems will remain

active.

The front passenger airbag system

can be deactivated via a key-

operated switch in the glovebox.
Use the ignition key to choose the

position:

the table

51.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If the control indicator

illuminates

for approx. 60 seconds after the

ignition is switched on, the front

passenger airbag system will inflate

in the event of a collision.
If the control indicator

illuminates

after the ignition is switched on, the

front passenger airbag system is

deactivated. It stays on while the

airbag is deactivated.
If both control indicators are

illuminated at the same time, there is

a system failure. The status of the

system is not discernible, therefore

no person is allowed to occupy the

front passenger seat. Contact a

workshop immediately.
Consult a workshop immediately if

neither of the two control indicators

are illuminated.
Change status only when the vehicle

is stopped with the ignition off.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.
Children should travel facing

rearwards in the vehicle as long as

possible. This makes sure that the

child's backbone, which is still very

weak, is under less strain in the event

of an accident. Do not use forward

facing child restraint system at all

seats when child's weight is below 13

kg.
Suitable are child restraint systems

that comply with valid UN ECE

regulations. Check local laws and

regulations for mandatory use of child

restraint systems.

The following child restraints are

recommended for the following

weight classes:

● Group 0, Group 0+:

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or

without ISOFIX base for children

up to 13 kg.

● Group I: Britax Duo Plus with

ISOFIX and Top-tether for

restraint system with vehicle seat

head rest, adjust or remove the

corresponding vehicle seat head

restraint.
Do not use forward facing child

restraints system when child's weight

is below 13 kg at all seats.

Loading information

Warning

Always make sure that the load in

the vehicle is securely stowed.

Otherwise objects can be thrown

around inside the vehicle and

cause personal injury or damage

to the load or car.

● Heavy objects in the load

compartment should be placed

against the seat backrests. Make

sure that the backrests are

securely engaged. If objects can

be stacked, heavier objects

should be placed at the bottom.

● Prevent sliding of loose objects

by securing them with straps

attached to the lashing eyes

60.

● Do not allow the load to protrude

above the upper edge of the

backrests.

● Do not place any objects on the

load compartment cover or the

instrument panel, and do not

cover the sensor on top of the

instrument panel.

● The load must not obstruct the

operation of the pedals, parking

brake and gear selector, or

hinder the freedom of movement

of the driver. Do not place any

unsecured objects in the interior.

● Do not drive with an open load

compartment.

● The payload is the difference

between the permitted gross

vehicle weight (see identification

plate

245) and the EC kerb

weight.

Storage

To calculate the payload, enter

the data for your vehicle in the

weights table at the front of this

manual.
The EC kerb weight includes

weights for the driver (68 kg),

luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel

tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and

accessories increase the kerb

weight.

● Driving with a roof load increases

the sensitivity of the vehicle to

cross-winds and has a

detrimental effect on vehicle

handling due to the vehicle's

higher centre of gravity.

Distribute the load evenly and

secure it properly with retaining

straps. Adjust the tyre pressure

and vehicle speed according to

the load conditions. Check and

retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph.
The roof load is the combined

weight of the roof rack and the

load.

The permissible roof load is

75 kg.
Sports Tourer with roof rails: The

permissible roof load is 85 kg.
