Recalling settings
– If the driver's door is open, press the desired recall
button briefly.
– If the driver's door is closed, press and hold down the
desired recall button until the programmed settings are
reached.A tone will sound and the diode in the button ⇒page 74,
fig. 76 will light up to confirm that the settings have been stored.
When you lock the vehicle the current settings are automatically
stored and assigned to the remote control key. However, the
settings assigned to the remote control key will not overwrite the
settings stored on recall buttons 1 and 2. The settings stored on the
recall buttons can be called up at any time. When you unlock the
vehicle, the settings assigned to the remote control key are recalled
automatically.
If your vehicle is also driven by other persons using your remote
control key, it is advisable to store your personal settings on one of
the recall buttons. You can then recall your own settings at any time
simply by pressing the corresponding recall button. When you lock
the vehicle these settings are then stored automatically and
assigned once again to the remote control key.

by pressing the switch, or by briefly pressing any of the

restraint is level with the top of your head ⇒page 166.
– Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the rear seat.
– Fasten your seat belt correctly ⇒page 173.

elling in the vehicle ⇒page 185.
WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can suffer severe injuries.•
Always adjust the head restraints properly for maximum
protection.
•
Seat belts only offer maximum protection when the backrest is
in an upright position and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear passengers increase the
risk of injury due to incorrect positioning of the seat belt
webbing.
Correct adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of
the vehicle's occupant protection system. They can help
to reduce the risk of injuries in most accident situations.
The head restraints must be adjusted properly to provide
maximum protection.
– Adjust the head restraint so that the top of the head
restraint is level with the top of your head ⇒fig. 175 and
⇒fig. 176.For more information on how to adjust the head restraints, see
⇒page 76.
WARNING
Travelling with the head restraints removed or incorrectly
adjusted increases the risk of severe injuries.•
Incorrectly adjusted head restraints could lead to death in the
event of a collision or accident.
•
Incorrectly adjusted head restraints can also increase the risk
of injury during sudden or unexpected braking or other manoeu-
vres.
•
The head restraints must always be adjusted according to the
occupant's size.
