Seat belts are only designed for use
by one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 48.

replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt tensioners
replaced by a workshop.
Notice

damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or are trapped. Prevent dirt
from getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder X 3 70.
Belt force limiters On the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.
Belt tensioners In the event of a head-on or rear-endcollision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
tensioners with risk of injury.
Deployment of the belt tensioners is
indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 70.
Triggered belt tensioners must be
replaced by a workshop. Belt
tensioners can only be triggered
once.
Notice

Airbag system
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Notice
The airbag systems and belt
tensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area. Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
In the event of airbag deployment
have the steering wheel, the
instrument panel, all panelling parts,
the door seals, the handles and the
seats removed by a workshop.
When the airbags inflate escaping hot gases may cause burns.

on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door is open, or on the front passenger sun
visor.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 33.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then the
airbag is able to protect.

46Seats, restraintsSide airbag system
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of an accident of a certain
severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Notice
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.Be careful not to cover the airbags.
Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the headlining trim.
The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of an accident of a certain severity. The ignition needs to be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

Seats, restraints479Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Airbag deactivation
Front airbag and side airbag systems for the front passenger seat have to
be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain airbag system, the belt
tensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.
The airbag deactivation system is
indicated by a label on the side of the instrument panel, visible when the
front passenger door is open.
Front passenger airbag system can
be deactivated via a switch located on the front passenger door.
With the front passenger door open,
press switch in and rotate anti-
clockwise to the OFF position.
Front passenger seat airbags are
deactivated and will not inflate in the
event of a collision. Control indicator
W illuminates continuously in the
instrument cluster. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the installation
locations chart 3 49.9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system together
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person with deactivated front
passenger airbag.
As long as control indicator W is not
illuminated, the airbag systems for
the front passenger seat will inflate in the event of a collision.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.
If control indicator W remains
illuminated together with v, this
indicates a fault within the system. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
