Safe driving
8Therefore, this chapter explains why these safety features are so important,
how they can protect you, what you need to remember when using them and
how you and your passengers can gain the most benefit from them. There are
also a number of important safety warnings that you and your passengers
should always observe in order to minimise the risk of injury.
Safety is everyone’s responsibility!Before setting off
The driver is responsible for the safety of the passengers and
the safe operation of the vehicle at all times.For your own safety and the safety of your passengers, always note
the following points before setting off:
– Make sure that all lights and indicators are working properly.
– Check tyre pressure.
– Make sure that all windows are clean and give good visibility to
the outside.
– Secure all luggage and other items carefully ⇒page 16.
– Make sure that no objects can interfere with the pedals.
– Adjust the front seat, head restraint and mirrors correctly.
– Make sure that the head rest raints for all passengers are
adjusted to the correct position.
– Make sure that children are protected with suitable safety seats and properly worn seat belts ⇒page 46. – Sit in a correct position. Inform
your passengers as to how they
should sit ⇒page 10.
– Fasten your seat belt correctly. Make sure that your passengers
do the same ⇒page 18.
What affects safe driving?
Safety on the road is directly related to how you drive, and can
also be affected by the passengers in the vehicle.The driver is responsible for the safety of the vehicle and all its occu-
pants. If your ability to drive is impaired in any way, you endanger
yourself and other road users ⇒. Therefore:
– Do not let yourself be distracted by passengers or by using a mobile phone, etc.
– Never drive when your driving ability is impaired (by medication, alcohol, drugs, etc.).
– Obey all traffic regulations and speed limits and always maintain a safe distance to the vehicle in front.
– Always adjust your speed to suit the road, traffic and weather conditions.
– Take frequent breaks on long trips. Do not drive for more than two hours without a stop.
– If possible, avoid driving when you are tired or stressed.

Airbag system
30Monitoring of airbag and belt tensioner system
Both the airbag and belt tensioner systems operation is constantly monitored
electronically. The warning lamp
T will light every time the ignition is
switched on until you attach your seatbelt.
The system must be checked when the warning lamp
T :
•does not light up when the ignition is switched on,•turns off and then lights up again after the ignition is switched on,•lights up or flashes while the vehicle is moving.
In the event of a malfunction, the warning lamp remains on continuously.
Have the system inspected immediately by a qualified workshop.
If any of the airbags are de-activated by the Authorised Service Centre, the
indicator lights for several seconds more after the verification and will turn off
if there is no fault.WARNING
•If there is a malfunction, the airbag and belt tensioner system cannot
properly perform its protective function.•If a malfunction occurred, have the system checked immediately by a
qualified workshop. Otherwise, in th e event of an accident, the airbag
system and belt tensioners may not be triggered, or may not be triggered
correctly.
Repairs, maintenance and disposal of airbagsThe parts of the airbag system are installed in various places in your vehicle.
If work is carried out on the airbag system or parts have to be removed and
fitted on the system when performing other repair work, parts of the airbag
system may be damaged. In the event of an accident this could cause the
airbag to inflate incorrectly or not inflate at all. The relevant safety requirements must be observed when the vehicle or
components of the airbag are scrapped
. Specialised workshops and vehicle
disposal centres are familiar with these requirements.
WARNING
•If repairs are not carried out by a professional, or if the airbags are used
incorrectl y, the ris k of severe or fatal inju ries is increase d. T he airbags may
fail to inflate, or could inflate in the wrong circumstances.•Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the surface
of the airbag unit on the passenger side of the dash panel, and do not
obstruct or modify them in any way.•It is important not to attach any objects such as cup holders or tele-
phone mountings to the surfaces covering the airbag units.•To clean the steering wheel or dash panel, you may use only a dry or a
water-moistened cloth. Never clean the dash panel and the airbag module
surface with cleaners containing solvents. Solvents cause the surface to
become porous. If the airbag triggered, plastic parts could become
detached and cause injuries.•Never attempt to repair, adjust, remove or install parts of the airbag
system.•Any work on the airbag system or removal and installation of the airbag
components for other repairs (such as repairs to the steering wheel) should
be performed only by a qualified wo rkshop. Qualified workshops have the
necessary tools, repair inform ation and qualified personnel.•We strongly recommend you to go to a qualified workshop for all work
on the airbag system.•Never attempt to alter the front bumper or the body.•The airbags provide protection for just one accident; replace them once
they have deployed.

Operating Instructions

Technical Specifications
The main parts of the front airbag system are:
•an electronic control and monitoring system (control unit)•the two front airbags (airbag with gas generator) for the driver and front
passenger,•a knee airbag* for the driver,•a warning lamp
T on the instrument panel ⇒page 29
The airbag system operation is monitored electronically. The airbag warning
lamp will light up for a few seconds every time the ignition is switched on
(self-diagnosis).
There is a fault in the system if the warning lamp
T:
•does not light up when the ignition is switched on ⇒ page 29•turns off and then lights up again after the ignition is switched on,•lights up or flashes while the vehicle is moving.
The front airbag system will not be triggered if:•the ignition is switched off•there is a minor frontal collision,•there is a side collision,•there is a rear-end collision•the vehicle turns overWARNING
•The seat belts and airbags can only provide maximum protection if the
occupants are seated correctly ⇒page 10, “Proper sitting position for
occupants”.•If a fault has occurred in the airbag system, have the system checked
immediately by a qualified workshop. Otherwise, during a frontal collision
the system may fail to trigger, or not trigger correctly.
Operation of front airbags
Inflated airbags reduce the risk of head or chest injury.The airbag system is designed so that the airbags for the driver and front
passenger are triggered in a severe frontal collision.
In certain types of accident the front, curtain and side airbags may be trig-
gered together.
When the system is triggered, the airbags fill with a propellant gas and
deploy in front of the driver and front passenger ⇒ fig. 19. The fully deployed
airbags cushion the forward movement of the front occupants and help to
reduce the risk of injury to the head and the upper part of the body.
The special design of the airbag allows the controlled escape of the propel-
lant gas when an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are surrounded and protected by the airbag. After the collision, the
airbag deflates sufficiently to allow visibility.
The airbags deploy extremely rapidly, within thousandths of a second, to
provide additional protection in the event of an accident. A fine dust may

Airbag system
36that the airbag system can only help to protect you if you are wearing your
seat belt and wearing it properly.
Remember too that airbags will deploy only once and only in certain kinds of
accidents - your seat belts are always there to offer protection in those acci-
d e nts in whi ch ai r bags ar e n ot supp ose d to d e ploy o r whe n t he y hav e a lread y
deployed, for example when your vehicle strikes or is struck by another after
the first collision.
This is just one of the reasons why an airbag is not a substitute for the seat
belt. The airbag system works most effectively when used with the seat belts.
Therefore, always wear your seat belts correctly.
It is important to remember that while the airbag system is designed to
reduce the possibility of serious injuries, other injuries, for example,
swelling, bruising, and minor abrasions can also be associated with airbags.
The knee airbag system basically consists of:•The electronic control module•One inflatable airbag (airbag and gas generator) for the driver•An airbag indicator light on the instrument panel
The knee airbag system will not be triggered:•if the ignition is switched off•in frontal collisions when the deceleration measured by the control unit is
too low•in side collisions•in rear-end collisions•in rollovers•in the event of a system malfunction (hazard warning lights/turn signals
illuminated) ⇒page 65.
WARNING
•Seat belts and the airbag system can only provide protection when
occupants are in the proper seating position.•If the airbag indicator light comes on when the vehicle is being used,
have the system inspected immediately by your Authorised Service Centre.
The airbag may not work properly when the vehicle acceleration in a side
collision is high enough to deploy the airbag. See also ⇒page 65.
How knee airbags work
The risk of injury to the leg area is reduced by fully deployed
knee airbags.The knee airbag system has been designed so that the airbag for the driver is
deployed in certain but not all frontal collisions.

Technical Specifications
Speedometer with odometer
The speedometer indicates the speed of the vehicle and the
distance travelled.The distance is normally stated in kilometres (km). On some models,
however, the odometer will show “miles”.
Lower odometer
The lower odometer records the vehicle’s total mileage.
Upper odometer (trip recorder)
The upper odometer shows the distance that has been travelled since the trip
recorder was last reset. It is used to measure short trips. The last digit of the
trip recorder indicates distances of 100 metres or tenths of a mile. The upper
odometer can be reset to zero by pressing the reset button ⇒fig. 42 . Fault display
If there is a fault in the instrument panel, the letters
DEF will appear perma-
nently in the trip recorder display. Please have the fault repaired as soon as
possible.
Electronic immobiliser
The vehicle key data is consulted when the ignition is switched on.
If an uncoded key is used, the message SAFE will appear in the trip recorder
display. The vehicle can no longer be started if that happens.
Fuel reserveThe display only works when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle reaches the reserve zone, the symbol
 lights up in the
instrument panel display ⇒ page 80. At this point there are still about 8 to 10
litres of fuel left in the tank. This is your reminder to fill up soon.
You can consult the tank capacity of your vehicle in the ⇒page 305, “Dimen-
sions and capacities” section.
