Always properly adjust the front seats.
The danger of fitting a child seat on the front passenger seat
Rear-facing child seats must never be used on the front
passenger seat when the front passenger airbag is enabled.An enabled front airbag on the front passenger side is potentially a major
danger to a child. The front passenger seat is life threatening to a child if
he/she is transported in a rear-facing child seat. You should always transport
all children up to 12 years of age on the rear seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the front passenger seat, an inflating
airbag can strike it with such great force that critical or fatal injuries may
result.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to transport children on the rear seats.
That is the safest place for children in the vehicle. Alternatively, the front
passenger airbag can be disabled with a key-operated switch ⇒page 44.
When transporting children, use a child seat appropriate to the age and size
of each child ⇒ page 46.
For those vehicles that do not include a key lock switch to turn the airbag off,
an Authorised Service Centre must be consulted.
WARNING
•
If a child seat is secured to the front passenger seat, the risk to the child
of sustaining critical or fatal injuries in the event of an accident increases.
•
Never secure a rear-facing child seat to the front passenger seat if the
front passenger airbag is enabled. The child can suffer critical or fatal inju-
ries when the front passenger airbag is triggered.
•
An inflating front passenger airbag can strike the rear-facing child seat
and hurl it with great force against the door, the roof or the backrest.
•
If, under special circumstances, it is necessary to transport a child in a
rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, it is absolutely essential
that you observe the following safety measures:
−Disable the front passenger airbag ⇒page 44, “Deactivating
airbags*”.
− The child seat must be approved by the child seat manufacturer for
use on a front passenger seat with front or side airbag.
− Follow the installation instructions given by the child seat manufac-
turer and observe the safety instructions ⇒page 46, “Child safety”.
− Before properly installing the child seat, push the front passenger
seat completely backwards so that the greatest possible distance to
the front passenger airbag is ensured.
− Ensure that no objects prevent the front passenger seat from being
pushed completely back.
− The backrest of the front passenger seat must be in an upright
position.

Bulb monitor

The bulb monitor checks whether the lights on the vehicle are
working.If a defective bulb is detected, or if one of the lights has failed for any reason,
the bulb monitor symbol
 will appear in the display together with an addi-
tional message (which goes out after 5 sec onds). For instance, if the rear left
turn signal is not working, the display in the instrument panel will show the
following message:
Left rear turn signal
The message disappears after 5 seconds. Press the CHECK button briefly if
you wish to call up the message again.
If the display indicates that one of the lights is not working, this can have a
number of causes:
•
Bulb failure ⇒page 249.
•
A “blown” fuse ⇒page 247, “Changing fuses”.
•
Faulty electrical wiring.
Have the components replaced or the wiring repaired as necessary by a
specialist garage.
WARNING
•
Bulbs are highly sensitive to pressure. The glass can break when you
touch the bulb, causing injury.
•
The high voltage element of gas discharge lamps* (xenon light) must
be handled correctly. Otherwise, there is a risk of death.
Speed warning

Introduction
The speed warning function can help prevent you exceeding
a particular pre-set maximum speed.The speed warning function will warn the driver if a pre-set maximum speed
is exceeded. The system gives an audible warning signal if the set speed is
exceeded by about 10 km/h. A warning symbol will also appear in the display
⇒ fig. 55 .
The speed warning function has two different warning speeds, which operate
independently and serve slightly different purposes:
Speed limit warning 1

With speed limit warning 1, the maximum speed can be changed while
driving. The speed limit that has been set remains stored until the ignition is
switched off, or until it is changed or cleared.
