Seat belts
Why is it so important to
use seat belts?
Seat belts provide effective protection
The common belief that passengers can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false.
Fig. 183 Driver with properly positioned seat belt -good
protection if the brakes are applied suddenly
It is an established fact that seat belts provide
good protection in accidents. Therefore wearing a
seat belt is required by law in most countries.
Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants in
the best position for maximum protection
¢ Fig. 183. The seat belts are capable of absorb­
ing much of the kinetic energy arising in a colli­
sion. Also they help to prevent uncontrolled
movements which could lead to severe injuries
¢ page 204, Important safety notes when using
seat belts.
If they wear the seat belts correctly, the passen­
gers benefit greatly from the ability of the belts
to reduce the kinetic energy gradually. The front
crumple zones and other passive safety features
(such as the airbag system) are also designed to
absorb the kinetic energy generated in a collision.
Taken together, all these features reduce the
forces acting on the occupants and consequently
the risk of injury.
Although these examples are based on a frontal
collision, the physical principles involved are the
same in other types of accidents. This is why it is
so import ant to put on the seat belts before ev­
ery trip -even when "just driving around the cor-
204 ner".
Ensure that your passengers wear their seat
belts as well ¢ ,&.
Properly worn seat belts have been shown to be
an effective means of reducing the potential for
injury and improving the chances of survival in a
serious accident ¢ page 205, Forces acting in a
collision.
For information on how children can travel safely
in the car refer to¢ page 195, Child seats .
.lD.. WARNING
- Seat belts must be put on before every trip -
even when driving in town. This also applies
to the rear passengers -risk of injury!
- During pregnancy, women should always en­
sure they wear a seat belt. The best way to
protect the unborn child is to protect the
mother ¢ page 207, Wearing and adjust­
ing the seat belts during pregnancy.
Important safety notes when using seat
belts
There are a number of safety points concerning
the seat belts which you should remember. This
will help to reduce the risk of injury in an acci­
dent.
.lD.. WARNING
- The seat belts can only provide maximum
protection if the seats are adjusted properly
¢page 46, Seats and storage.
- To ensure proper protection, it is important
to wear the seat belts in the correct position
¢ page 206, How to wear seat belts prop­
erly. Ensure that the seat belts are worn ex­
actly as recommended in this chapter. Belts
which are not worn properly can increase
the risk of injury in accidents considerably.
- Do not allow the seat belt to become twis­
ted or jammed, or to rub on any sharp
edges.
- Never allow two passengers (even children)
to share the same seat belt. It is especially
dangerous to place a seat belt over a child
sitting on your lap.

.... The
three-point inertia reel belts are tensioned
automatically. The retractor system gives com­
plete freedom of movement, as long as the pull
on the belt is slow. Hard braking locks the belt.
The belt will also lock when you accelerate, drive
up or down a steep hill or in a sharp curve.
A WARNING
- Always make certain that the belt is posi­
tioned properly ¢ Fig. 188 -risk of injury
¢ page 207, Adjusting the seat belts.
- The latch plate of the belt must always be
engaged in the correct buckle for that seat.
Otherwise the belt will not be fully effective
and the danger of injury increases.
Adjusting the seat belts
Always position seat belts properly for maximum
safety.
Fig. 190 Adjusting shoulder/lap belt
The following equipment is available for your ve­
hicle to help you position the seat belt properly
to suit your height:
- Seat height adjustment (front seats)
A WARNING
- The shoulder section of the belt should be
fitted across the centre of the collar bone
close to the body. To fasten the belt, take
hold of the belt above the latch plate and
pull it slowly down across your chest. Wear
the lap portion of the seat belt as low as
possible over the hips so that there is no
pressure on the lower abdomen. The belt
should always be worn tightly¢ Fig. 190 . Seat
belts
Pull the belt tight if necessary to take up
any slack.
- Always make sure that belt is positioned
properly. Incorrectly worn seat belts can
give rise to injuries even in a minor collision.
- Seat belts worn too loose can result in inju­
ries because they allow excessive forward
movement in a crash; the occupant will be
brought to a sudden stop by the belt web­
bing.
Wearing and adjusting the seat belts
during pregnancy
To afford the best protection for the unborn
child it is important for the mother to wear the
seat belt properly at all times.
Fig. 191 Positioning seat belts during pregnancy
Women should always ensure they adjust the
seat belt correctly during pregnancy.
� Adjust the front seat correctly before putting
on the seat belt¢ page 46, Seats and storage.
� To
fasten the belt, take hold of the latch plate
and pull it slowly down across your chest. Wear
the lap portion of the seat belt as low as possi­
ble over the hips so that there is no pressure on
the stomach ¢ Fig. 191, ¢ ,&. .
� Insert the latch plate into the buckle for the ap­
propriate seat and push it down until it is se­
curely locked with an audible click¢ page 206,
Fig. 189.
� Pull the belt to check that it is now securely fas-
tened. IJJJ.

system
- For safety reasons, the alternator and the
starter are both disconnected from the bat­
tery via a pyrotechnic circuit breaker in se­
vere accidents.
-Any repairs to the pyrotechnic circuit
breaker must always be performed by a
qualified workshop - risk of accident!
- The relevant safety requirements must be
observed when the vehicle or the circuit
breaker are scrapped.
When are the airbags triggered?
One or more airbag systems are triggered in se­
vere collisions, depending on the circumstances.
The airbag system is not triggered in minor colli­
sions, or in rear collisions, or if the car overturns.
In these situations, the occupants are protected
by wearing the seat belts.
Factors determining the triggering response
It is not possible to define the exact triggering
response of the airbag system in all possible sit­
uations, since the circumstances in different
types of accident will vary considerably. Impor­
tant factors include, for example, the nature
(ha rd or soft) of the object which the car hits, the
angle of impact, vehicle speed and so on.
Whether the airbags are triggered depends pri­
marily on the vehicle deceleration rate resulting
from the collision. By processing the signals from
the sensors located in the vehicle, the electronic
control unit is immediately able to evaluate the
severity of the collision and activate the restraint
systems accordingly. If the deceleration rate is
below the predefined reference value in the con­
trol unit the airbags will not be triggered, even
though the accident may cause extensive damage
to the car.
([J) Note
The airbag releases a fine dust when it in­
flates. This is quite normal and does not
mean there is a fire in the vehicle.

safety notes on the front airbag
system
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.
Fig. 199 Minimum distance from steering wheel
A WARNING
- It is important for the driver and front pas­
senger to maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel or dash­
board ¢Fig. 199. The airbag system will not
be able to give the required protection if you
sit too close to the steering wheel or dash­
board. There is also a risk of injury if the air­
bags are inflated. Additionally, the front
seat position should always be adjusted to
the body size of the occupant.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward or to the side, or are not seated cor­
rectly while the vehicle is in motion, you are
at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag
system be triggered in an accident there is
an even greater risk of injury.
- Never let a child travel on the front seat
without an appropriate restraint system. If
the airbag is triggered in an accident, the
child could sustain serious or fatal injuries
¢page 195, Child seats.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­
ployed. 0

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­
tive. If you have no alternative but to use a
rear ward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via

Make sure that the front passenger's air­
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Occupants sitting in the front of the car
must never carry any objects or pets in the
space between them and the airbags, or al­
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position.
- Do not cover or stick anything on the steer­
ing wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit on the passenger's side of
the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modi­
fy them in any way. These parts should only
be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth
moistened with plain water). It is also im­
portant not to attach any objects such as
cup holders or telephone mountings to the
surfaces covering the airbag units.
- Any work on the airbag system or removal
and installation of the airbag components
for other repairs (such as repairs to the
steering wheel or removal of seats) must be
performed by a qualified workshop.

Side airbags
Description of side airbags
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
The airbag system is not a substitute for the seat
belts.
Fig. 200 Location of side airbag in driver's seat
The side airbags are located in the backrest pad­
ding of the front seats¢ Fig. 200. The locations
of the airbags are marked with the word "AIR­
BAG".
In conjunction with the seat belts, the side air­
bags give the occupants additional protection for
the whole upper part of the body (i.e. the chest,
stomach and pelvis) in the event of a severe side
collision ¢&. in Important safety notes on the
side airbag system on page 214.
In a side collision the side airbags reduce the risk
of injury to the areas of the body facing the im­
pact.
How the side airbags work
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
When fully inflated, the side airbags reduce the
risk of injuries to the upper part of the body.
Fig. 201 Side airbag in inflated condition
214 In
certain types of side collision, the side airbag
is triggered on the impact side of the vehicle
¢ Fig. 201. Further airbag systems may also be
triggered, depending on the circumstances.
When the system is triggered, the airbag is filled
with propellant gas.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of a second). The airbag
releases a fine dust when it inflates. This is quite
normal and does not mean there is a fire in the
vehicle.
When fully deployed, the airbags cushion the im­
pact for the occupants and help to reduce the risk
of injury to the whole upper part of the body (i.e.
the chest, stomach and pelvis) on the side facing
the door.
Important safety notes on the side airbag
system
Applies to vehicles: with side airbags
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.
A WARNING
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward, or are not seated correctly while
the vehicle is in motion, you are at greater
risk of injury should the side airbags be trig­
gered in an accident.
- If children are not seated correctly, they are
at greater risk of injury in an accident. This
is particularly the case if the child is travel­
ling on the front passenger's seat and the
airbag system is triggered in an accident.
This could result in serious or potentially fa­
tal injury ¢page 195, Child seats.
- It is also important not to attach any acces­
sories (such as cup holders) to the doors.
This would impair the protection offered by
the side airbags.
- The sensors for the airbags are located in
the front doors. You must therefore not
make any modifications to the doors or door

Checking brake fluid level
The brake fluid Level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir ¢ page 222,
Fig. 211.
If the Level goes down noticeably in a short time,
or drops below the MIN mark, there may be a
Leak in the brake system. Obtain professional as­
sistance. The brake fluid Level is also monitored
via a warning Lamp on the infotainment display
¢page 11.
In right-hand drive vehicles the brake fluid reser­
voir is on the other side of the engine compart­
ment.
Changing brake fluid
Your vehicle's Service Schedule will tell you the
regular intervals at which the brake fluid is due
for renewal. We recommend that you have the
brake fluid changed by a qualified workshop dur­
ing a service.
A WARNING
- Brake fluid is poisonous; it must be stored in
the sealed original container in a safe place
out of the reach of children.
- Heavy use of the brakes may cause a vapour
Lock if the brake fluid is left in the system
for too Long. This would seriously affect the
efficiency of the brakes and the safety of the
car -risk of accident!
226 CD
CAUTION
Brake fluid must not be allowed to come into
contact with the vehicle's body, otherwise it
will attack the paintwork.
Battery General notes
ALL work on batteries requires specialist knowl­
edge.
The battery is virtually maintenance-free. It is
checked as part of the Inspection Service.
When an airbag is triggered, the battery will, un­
der certain circumstances, be disconnected from
the on-board power supply for safety reasons
¢ .&.. in General notes on airbag system on
page 209.
Disconnecting the battery
The battery should always be Left connected. If
the battery is disconnected, some of the vehicle's
functions will become inoperative (e.g. electric
windows). These functions will require resetting
after the battery is reconnected. For this reason,
the battery should only be disconnected from the
vehicle's electrical system when absolutely nec­
essary.
If the vehi cle is not used for long periods
If you do not drive your vehicle for a period of
several days or weeks, the power management
will gradually shut off the on-board systems one
by one, or reduce the amount of current they are
using. This Limits the amount of power consumed
and helps to ensure reliable starting even after a
Long period ¢ page 106. Certain convenience fea­
tures, such as interior Lighting or electric seat ad­
justment, may not be available. These functions
will be restored when you switch on the ignition
and start the engine. Even though some systems
are deactivated automatically, certain electrical
equipment continues to draw current even when
the ignition is off. If the vehicle is Left standing
for several months, this can result in total bat-
tery discharge. If the battery is allowed to dis­
charge completely, an internal chemical reaction
