Airbag system39
Safety FirstOperating instructionsPractical tipsTe c h n i c a l D a t a In a side collision, the side airbags are triggered on the affected side of the
vehicle, thus reducing the risk of injury to passengers on that side.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in fractions of a second.
xAlways keep the deployment areas of the side airbags free.
xOccupants of the front and outer rear seats must never carry any other
people, pets or objects in the deployment space between them and the
airbags.
xThe built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do
not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
xDo not mount accessories on the doors.
xOnly used protective covers for the seats that are approved for the
vehicle. Otherwise, the side airbag would be obstructed when deployed.
WARNING
Incorrect handling of the driver's and front passenger's seat could prevent
the side airbag from deploying properly and cause severe injuries.
xNever remove the front seats of the vehicle or modify any of their
components.
xGreat forces must not be exerted on the backrest bolsters because the
side airbags might not deploy correctly, might not deploy at all or might
deploy unexpectedly.
xAny damage to the original seat upholstery or around the seams of the
side airbag units must be repaired immediately by a qualified workshop.

xOccupants of the front and outer rear seats must never carry any other
people, pets or objects in the deployment space between them and the
airbags.
xThe built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do
not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
xDo not mount accessories on the doors.
xDo not fit curtains to the windows other than those expressly approved
for use in the vehicle.
xOnly turn the sun blinds towards the windows if there is no object, e.g.
pens or garage remote controls, secured to the sun blind.
Kneed airbagsThe knee airbag is located on the driver side below the instrument panel
Ÿfig. 24. Airbags are identified by the word “AIRBAG”.
The area framed red Ÿfig. 25 is covered by the knee airbag when it is
deployed (deployment area). Therefore, objects should never be placed or
mounted in these areas.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in fractions of a second.
xThe knee airbag is deployed in front of the driver's knees. Always keep
the deployment areas of the knee airbags free.
xNever not fix objects to the cover or in the deployment area of the knee
airbag.
xAdjust the driver's seat so that there is a distance of at least 10 cm (4
inches) between your knees and the location of the knee airbag. If you
physical constitution prevents you from meeting these requirements, make
sure you contact a specialist workshop.

Instrument panel
Control and warning lamps
The control and warning lamps are indicators of warnings, Ÿ, faults Ÿ
or certain functions. Some control and warning lamps come on when the igni-
tion is switched on, and go out when the engine starts running, or while
driving.
Depending on the model, additional text messages may be viewed on the
instrument panel display. These may be purely informative or they may be
advising of the need for action Ÿpage 64, “Instruments”.
Depending upon the equipment fitted in the vehicle, instead of a warning
lamp, sometimes a symbol may be displayed on the instrument panel.
When certain control and warning lamps are lit, an audible warning is also
heard.

single jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the journey and the con-
sumption from the moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than two hours, the mem-
ory is automatically erased. If the journey is continued in
less than two hours after the ignition is switched off, the
new data is added to the data already stored in the mem-
ory.
2Total mem-
ory (for all
journeys).
The memory records the values for a specific number of
partial trips, up to a total of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99
hours and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles) for 9999 km
(or miles), depending on the model of instrument panel.
On reaching either of these limits, the memory is automati-
cally erased and starts to count from 0 again.
