Airbag system
28•Always adjust the front seats properly.
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.The front passenger airbag is a serious risk for a child if it is activated. The
front passenger seat is life threatening to a child if he/she is transported in a
rear-facing child seat. Children up to 12 years old should always travel 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 force that it can cause critical or fatal injuries.
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 37.
When transporting children, use a child seat appropriate to the age and size
of each child.
For those vehicles that do not include a key lock switch to disconnect the
airbag, the vehicle must be taken to a Technical Service.
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 if 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:
−Deactivate the front passenger airbag ⇒page 37, “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 of the child seat manufacturer
and absolutely observe all warnings
− 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.
Warning lamp for airbag and seat belt tensioner

tensioner system.The warning lamp monitors all airbags and seat belt tensioners in the vehicle,
including control units and wiring connections.

Unlocking and locking
78Childproof lock
The childproof lock prevents the rear doors from being
opened from the inside. This system prevents minors from
opening a door accidentally while the vehicle is running.This function is independent of the vehicle electronic opening and
locking systems. It only affects rear doors. It can only be activated
and deactivated manually, as described below:
Activating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door in which you wish to acti- vate the childproof lock.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in the door using the igni- tion key, anti-clockwise for the left hand side doors ⇒fig. 42 and
clockwise for the right hand side doors. Deactivating the childproof lock
– Unlock the vehicle and open the door whose childproof lock you
want to deactivate.
– With the door open, rotate the groove in the door using the igni- tion key, anti-clockwise for the right hand side doors and clock-
wise for the left hand side doors ⇒fig. 42 .
Once the childproof lock is activated, the door can only be opened from the
outside. The childproof lock can be activated and deactivated by inserting the
key in the groove when the door is open, as described above.

Interior monitoring and anti-towing alarm*
Monitoring or control function incorporated in the anti-theft
alarm* which detects unauthorized vehicle entry by means of
ultrasound.Activation
– It is connected automatically when the anti-theft alarm is acti-
vated.
Deactivation
– Open the vehicle with the key, either mechanically
9) or by
pressing the button on the remote control.
– Press the button on the remote control twice. The volumetric sensor and tilt sensors will be deactivated. The alarm system
remains activated.
The interior monitoring and the anti-towing alarm are automatically switched
on again next time the vehicle is locked.
The interior monitoring and anti-towing alarm (tilt sensor) are automatically
switched on when the anti-theft alarm is switched on. In order to activate it,
all the doors and the tailgate must be closed.
If you wish to disconnect the interior monitoring and the anti-towing system,
it must be done each time that the vehicle is locked; if not, they will connect
automatically.
The interior monitoring and the anti-towing system should be disconnected
if animals are left inside the locked vehicle (otherwise, their movements will trigger the alarm) or when, for example, the vehicle is transported or has to
be towed with only one axle on the ground.
False alarms
The interior monitoring only operates correctly if the vehicle is completely
closed. Please observe legal requirements when doing so.
The following cases may cause a false alarm:
•opened windows (partially or fully)•panorama/tilting sunroof open (partially or completely).•movement of objects inside the vehicle, such as loose papers, items
hanging from the rear view mirror (air fresheners), etc.Note
•If the vehicle is relocked and the alarm is activated without the volumetric
sensor function, relocking will activate the alarm with all its functions, except
the volumetric sensor. This function is reactivated when the alarm is switched
on again, unless it is deliberately switched off.•If the alarm has been triggered by the volumetric sensor, this will be indi-
cated by a flashing of the indicator on the driver door. The flash is different to
the flash indicating the alarm is activated.•The vibration of a mobile phone left inside the vehicle may cause the inte-
rior monitoring alarm to trigger, as both sensors react to movements and
shakes inside the vehicle.•If on activating the alarm, any door or the tailgate is open, only the alarm
will be activated. The interior monitoring and the anti-towing system will only
be activated once all the doors are closed (including the tailgate).
9)The time period from when the door is opened until the key is inserted in the contact should not exceed 15 sec., otherwise the alarm will be triggered.

Unlocking and locking
90•Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle, particularly if
they have access to the keys. Unsupervised use of a key could mean that
the engine is started or that electrical equipment is used (e.g. electric
tilting sunroof) with a risk of accident. The doors can be locked using the
remote control key. This could make the aid difficult in an emergency situ-
ation.•The tilting sunroof continues to function until one of the front doors is
opened and the key removed from the ignition.•Ensure that no object and/or end is between the glass and the sunroof
when the one-touch opening/closing function is reset.
Convenience closing* Using the door lock
– Hold the key in the door lock of the driver door in the locking position until the tilting sunroof is closed.
– Release the key to interrupt this function.
Using the remote control
– Push the lock button on the remote control for about 3 seconds. The tilting sunroof closes.
– Press the unlock button to interrupt the function.
Roll-back function of the panorama/ tilting sunroof*The panorama/ tilting sunroof has a roll-back function which prevents larger
objects getting trapped when the roof is closed. The roll-back function does
not prevent fingers getting pinched against the roof opening. The tilting
sunroof stops and opens again immediately if it is obstructed when closing.Operation in case of breakdown
In case of a breakdown, the sunroof may be closed manually.– Remove the plastic cover by inserting a screwdriver into the rear section.
– Insert an Allen key (4 mm) into the opening as far as possible and close the sunroof.
