The interior monitoring system and anti-tow alarm
should therefore be switched off before the
vehicle
is locked in any of the following , or similar, situa­
tions :
• If you leave animals inside the vehicle for a
short period .
• If the vehicle is to be loaded onto another vehi­
c le .
• If the vehicle is transported (e.g . on a ferry) .
• If the vehicle is going to be towed with one axle
off the ground .
• If the vehicle is to be parked in a two-storey ga­
rage .
• If the vehicle is to be parked in a car wash.
Risk of false alarm
Interior monitoring can only work properly if the ve­
hicle is completely closed.
Observe legal require­
ments . A false alarm can be triggered in any
of the
foll owi ng circumstances :
• If a window is fully or partly open.
• If the electric panorama sliding/tilting roof is
fully or partly open.
• If items such as loose pieces of paper and
items attached to the interior mirror (e.g . air-fresh­
eners) are left in the vehicle .
• If a mobile telephone that is left in the vehicle
vibrates .
• If the vehicle is transported (e.g. on a ferry) .

When removing or fitting head restraints, make
sure that they do not hit the roof or other parts
of the vehicle. The roof and other vehicle parts
could otherwise be damaged. Adjusting the steering wheel position

r-f"'n First read and observe the i~troductory
~ information and safety warnmgs ~on
page 66.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting
off
and only when the vehicle is sta tionary.
• Push down the lever =>Fig . 50 G).
• Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold
it on the outside
of the ring (at the 9 o'cl ock and 3
o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent
arms.
• Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the
steering column
=> ~-
Incorrect use of the steering column position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal in­
juries.
• After adjusting the steering column, al­
ways move lever CD up so that it engages se­
curely. This prevents the steering column
from moving spontaneously while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Never adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle
safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
• The steering wheel must always point to­
wards the chest and not towards the face.
This ensures that the driver front airbag pro­
vides maximum protection in the event of an
accident.
• While driving, always keep both hands on
the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces
the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other manner,
e.g .
on the hub of the steering wheel. If the
driver front airbag is triggered, you could re­
ceive severe injuries to the arms, hands and
head. ~--------------------------____ _j Sitting correctly and safely 73
