switch at position 1 or 2 » Fig. 55 .›
To switch off the heating shift the rocker switch into the horizontal position.
WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabe-
tes), we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on
the back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat
heating is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey
when driving long distances, so that the body can recuperate from the
stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your
specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.■
Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele-
ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do
not turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and
seat heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 141, Seat covers .
Note
■
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running.
This has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine con-
trol » page 156 , Automatic load deactivation .

jects from the luggage compartment can slip into the passenger compart-
ment under sudden braking – there is a risk of injury.

Head restraints
 Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
headrest adjust
73
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant.
Correctly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective
protection for the occupants » page 9.
WARNING■
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.■
Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■
If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position.

Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling
characteristics of your vehicle:
›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the fixing
net » page 74 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object
weighing 4.5 kg produces energy corresponding to 20 times its own weight.
This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
WARNING■ Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.■Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – there is
a risk of death.
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being
thrown forward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly at-
tached to the lashing eyes.
■
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of in-
jury!
■
When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in
the boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure
the safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats » page 11,
Correct seated position for the passengers in the rear seats .
