WARNING
•
The rear view convex or aspheric mirror increase the field of vision
however the objects appear smaller and further away in the mirrors. If you
use these mirrors to estimate the distance to vehicles behind you when
changing lane, you could make a mistake. Risk of accident.
•
If possible, use the interior mirror to estimate distances to vehicles
behind you.
•
Make sure that you do not get your finger trapped between the mirror
and the mirror base when folding back the mirrors. Risk of injury!For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be switched off when it is no longer
needed. Fuel is wasted otherwise.
Note
•
If the electrical adjustment ever fa ils to operate, the mirrors can be
adjusted by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.
•
The following guideline applies to vehi cles with electric exterior mirrors:
If the mirror housing is moved as a result of exterior force (e.g. knocked when
parking the vehicle), the mirrors must be folded in electrically to the final
position. Do not readjust the mirror hous ing by hand, as this will interfere
with the mirror adjuster function.
•
The rear view mirrors can be adjusted separately or simultaneously, as
described before.

engage when the seatback is lifted.
WARNING
•
Never adjust the driver or front passenger seat while the vehicle is in
motion. While adjusting your seat, you will assume an incorrect sitting
position. Risk of fatal accidents. Adju st the driver or front passenger seat
only when the vehicle is stationary.
•
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger during
sudden braking manoeuvres or an acci dent, never drive with the backrest
tilted far to the rear. The maximum protection of the seat belt can be
achieved only when the backrests are in an upright position and the driver
and front passenger have properly adjusted their seat belts. The further
the backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater the risk of injury due to
improper positioning of the belt web!
•
Exercise caution when adjusting the seat height or forwards/back-
wards position. Injuries can be caused if the backrest is tilted without due
care and attention.

Luggage compartmentStowing luggage
All luggage must be securely stowed.Please observe the following points to ensure the vehicle handles
well at all times:
– Distribute the load as evenly as possible.
– Place heavy objects as far forward in the luggage compartment
as possible.
– Secure luggage in the luggage compartment with suitable straps on the fastening rings.
WARNING
•
Loose luggage and other loose items in the vehicle can cause serious
injuries.
•
Loose objects in the luggage compartment can suddenly move and
change the way the vehicle handles.
•
During sudden manoeuvres or accidents, loose objects in the
passenger compartment can be flung forward, injuring vehicle occupants.
•
Always store objects in the luggage compartment and secure with suit-
able straps. This is especially important for heavy objects.
•
When you transport heavy objects, always keep in mind that a change
in the centre of gravity can also cause changes in vehicle handling.
•
Please observe information on safe driving ⇒page 7, “Safe driving”.
Caution
Hard objects on the shelf could chafe against the wires of the heating
element in the rear window and cause damage.
Note
The ventilation slots in front of the r ear side windows must not be covered as
this would prevent stale air being extracted from the vehicle.Fastening rings*Four rings are fitted in the boot ⇒fig. 83 (see arrows) for securing objects.
Two of the rings are located on the right and left, respectively, of the rear
section of the boot. The other two are next to the loading edge of the boot.

Air conditioningHeatingControls– Using the controls ⇒ fig. 85 and and with the switch
you can set the temperature, air distribution and the blower
speed.
– Press the button to switch air recirculation mode on or off. A button is illuminated by a yellow lamp for as long as the function
is switched on.Temperature
The switch sets the temperature. The required temperature inside the
vehicle cannot be lower than the ambient temperature. Maximum heat output, which is needed to defrost the windows quickly, is only available
when the engine has reached its operating temperature.
Blower
The air flow can be set at four s
peeds with switch . The blower should
always be set at the lowest speed when driving slowly.
Air distribution
Control for setting the flow of air in the required direction.
 – Air distribution towards the windsc reen. Air recirculation is, for safety
reasons, not possible in this position. – Air distribution to the upper body. – Air distribution to footwell – Air distribution to the windscreen and the footwell.
Air recirculation mode

Air recirculation on (button symbol lights up) prevents strong odours
in the outside air from entering the vehicle interior, for example when driving
through a tunnel or queuing in traffic ⇒.
When the outside temperature is low, using air recirculation mode provides
more effective heating by heating air from the vehicle interior instead of cold
air from outside.
WARNING
•
For your safety, the windows should never be fogged up or covered with
snow or ice. This is essential to ensure good visibility. Please familiarize
yourself with the correct operation of the heating and ventilation system,
including the demist/defrost functions for the windows.
