Seats, restraints

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.

9

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 

3

 43.

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:
OFF

*

: front passenger airbag is

deactivated and will not

inflate in the event of a

collision, control indicator

OFF

*

 illuminates

continuously in the centre

console.

ON

Ó

: front passenger airbag is

active.

Seats, restraints

39

Notice

After turning the key-operated

switch to position OFF 

*

, keep on

turning towards this position until

key is removed.

9

Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only

in combination with the use of a

child restraint system, subject to

the instructions and restrictions in

the table 

3

 43.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

If the control indicator 

Ó

 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.
Status remains until the next change.

sufficient size and weight are

protected using a suitable child

restraint system. Never place a

child on the lap.

9

Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint

system on the front passenger

seat, the airbag system for the

Seats, restraints

We recommend a child restraint

system which is tailored specifically to

the vehicle. For further information,

contact your workshop.
In case of any interference of the child

restraint system with vehicle seat

head restraint, adjust or remove the

corresponding head restraint 

3

 26.

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system. The given

restrictions in the table refer to a test

body, which is the maximum

envelope of all existing child restraint

systems. Make sure that the front

seats do not interfere with the used

child restraint system.
Always comply with local or national

regulations. In some countries, the

use of child restraint systems is

forbidden on certain seats.
Only drive with the driver seat

correctly adjusted 

3

 27.

Child restraint systems can be

fastened with:

● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be

fastened by using a three-point seat

belt. After fastening the child restraint

system the seat belt has to be

tightened.

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX

child restraint system positions are

marked in the ISOFIX table 

3

 43.

ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a

label on the backrest. To get access

to the ISOFIX brackets, first pull the

zipper.
When fastening ISOFIX child restraint

systems on adjustable passenger

seats, such as the front passenger

seat, first incline the backrest as far as

necessary backwards in order to get

access to the ISOFIX brackets. After

the proper fastening of the ISOFIX

child restraint system, incline the

backrest forward again.
An i-Size child restraint system is an

universal ISOFIX child restraint

system according UN Regulation No.

129.
All i-Size child restraint systems can

be used on any vehicle seat suitable

for i-Size, i-Size table 

3

 43.

Either a Top-tether strap or a support

leg must be used in addition to the

ISOFIX brackets.

Seats, restraints

41

i-Size child seats and vehicle seats

with i-Size approval are marked with

i-Size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchors

Top-tether anchors are marked with

the symbol 

t

 for a child seat.

In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,

fasten the Top-tether strap to the

Top-tether anchors.

ISOFIX child restraint systems of

universal category positions are

marked in the table by IUF 

3

 43.

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: Duo Plus with ISOFIX

and Top-tether for children from

9 kg to 18 kg

● Group II, Group III: Kidfix XP with

or without ISOFIX for children

from 15 kg to 36 kg

Ensure that the child restraint system

to be installed is compatible with the

vehicle type.
Child seat at the front: Adjust the front

passenger seat to the highest and

fully back longitudinal position with

the backrest straightened.
Child seat at the rear: Move the

vehicle's front seat forward and

straighten the backrest so that the

legs of the child in the forward facing

or the rearward facing child seat do

not touch the vehicle's front seat.

42

Seats, restraints

Do not use forward facing child

restraints system when child's weight

is below 13 kg at all seats.
Follow child restraint system

manufacturer's instructions to install

corresponding child restraint systems

in vehicle.
For semi-universal or vehicle specific

child restraint system (ISOFIX or

belted child restraint system), see the

vehicle list provided in the user

manual of the child restraint system.
Ensure that the mounting location of

the child restraint system within the

vehicle is correct, see following table.
Allow children to enter and exit the

vehicle only on the side facing away

from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not

in use, secure the seat with a seat belt

or remove it from the vehicle.

Notice

Do not affix anything on the child

restraint systems and do not cover

them with any other materials.
A child restraint system which has

been subjected to stress in an

accident must be replaced.

Loading information

9

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

3

 49.

● 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 

3

 298) and the EC kerb

weight.

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 permissible roof load is

70 kg. Do not exceed a loading

height of 40 cm. The roof load is

the combined weight of the roof

rack and the load.
