Seat position
zSit with your buttocks as far back against
the backrest as possible. Adjust the
distance between your feet and the
pedals so that your legs are slightly
angled when pressing the pedals. Slide
the passenger seat as far back as
possible. z
Sit with your shou lders as far back
against the backrest as possible. Set the
backrest rake so that you can easily

the backrest too far back. We
recommend a maximum rake of
approx. 25.

z Set seat height 3 high enough to have a
clear field of vision on all sides and of all
display instruments. There should be at
least six inches of clearance between
your head and the headlining. Your

Adjusting the rear head restraints 3
The height of the head restraints can be set
in two positions. To set in the first position,
pull the head restraint up, in the second
position press the spring marked in the
illustration and push the head restraint
right up to the top.
To adjust downwards, press the spring
marked in the illustration and push the
head restraint down.
To fold down the backrests 353 or improve
visibility when the rear seats are not
occupied, push the head restraint all the
way down.
If the rear seats are occupied, adjust the
rear head restraints accordingly to body
size.
Picture no: 17055t.tif
Head restraint position
The middle of the head restraint should be
at eye level. If this is not possible for
extremely tall persons, set to highest
position, and set to lowest position for
small persons. Active head restraints
3
In the event of a rear-end impact, the
active head restraints automatically tilt
slightly forward. The head is more
effectively supported by the head restraint
and the danger of injury in the area of the
cervical vertebra is reduced.

must be attached to the head restraint of
the unoccupied front passenger seat.

Notes on loading the vehicle zHeavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed against
the properly engaged rear seat backrests
or, if the rear seat backrests are folded
down 3, against the front seat backrests.
If objects are to be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
z Secure heavy objects with straps 3
attached to lashing eyes. z
If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in an upright position 3354.
z Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the backrests.
z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit
(cushion) 3 must always be freely
accessible.
z Do not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
z Items loaded must not prevent operation
of the pedals, hand brake and gears or
obstruct the freedom of movement of
the driver. Do not place loose objects in
the interior.
z No objects must be placed in the airbag
inflation area, since they could cause
injury when the systems are triggered.
z Do not drive with luggage compartment
open when transporting bulky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior. z
The payload is the difference between
the permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3250) and the EC
kerb weight.
z To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter
the data for your vehicle on page 3259.
z The EC kerb weight includes allowances
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full).
z Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight.
z Weights and loads 3259.
z 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
to the load conditions. Do not drive
faster than 120 km/h. Check and
retighten the straps frequently. Observe
country-specific regulations.
z The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the
roof rack plus the load carried.

58 Seats, InteriorThree-stage safety system Comprising:
zThree-point seat belts.
z Belt tensioners at the front seats.
z Airbag systems for driver seat, front
passenger seat 3 and outboard rear
seats 3.
The three stages are activated in sequence
depending on the severity of the accident:
z The automatic seat belt locking devices
prevent the belt strap from being pulled
out and thus ensure that the vehicle
occupants are retained in their seats.
z The front seat belts are pulled down at
the belt locks and at the lower, outer
attachment points 3. This tensions the
seat belt so the occupants are slowed
down with the vehicle early as the vehicle
stops, thus reducing stresses on the
body.
z The airbag systems are also triggered in
the event of severe accidents and form a
safety cushion for the occupants. Read the instructions supplied with the
child restraint system.
Picture no: 18533t.tif
Three-point seat belts The seat belts have an automatic retractor,
so that the belt is spring tensioned and
always lies against the body.
Information on correct seat position
350.
The safety belts lock when the vehicle
accelerates or decelerates rapidly. This
prevents the belt from extending and
keeps the occupant in his or her seat.
9
Warning
The airbag systems serve to supplement
the three-point seat belts and belt ten-
sioners. The seat belts must therefore
always be worn. Disregard of these
instructions may lead to injuries or
endanger life. Vehicle passengers
should be informed accordingly.
