ISOFIX is a standardized securing system for
specially designed child restraint systems on
the rear seats. LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings 0043for two LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child
restraint systems are installed on the left and
right rear seats.
Non-LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seats may
also be used and can be installed using the
vehicle's seat belt system. Install child seats
according to the manufacturer's instructions. Top Tether
Introduction Top Tether provides an additional connection
between a child restraint system, secured
with a LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child seat mount,and the rear seat. This helps reduce the risk of
injury even further. If the child restraint sys-
tem has a Top Tether belt, this should be used at all times.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the rear seats or the rear seat backrests are not locked, they could fold forwards in the
event of an accident, heavy braking or sudden changes of direction. As a result, child
restraint systems cannot perform their inten-
ded protective function. Rear seats and rear
seat backrests that are not locked can also
cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event of
an accident. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Always lock the rear seats and rear seat
backrests after installing a Top Tether belt.
Observe the lock verification indicator. Adjust the rear seat backrests so that they are in an
upright position. Top Tether anchorage points
Top Tether anchorage points
0085are on the
rear side of the rear seat backrests. X
Move head restraint 0087upwards.
X Fit the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint
system with Top Tether. Make sure you
observe the child restraint system manu-
facturer's installation instructions.
X Route Top Tether belt 0084under head
restraint 0087between both head restraint
bars.
X Guide Top Tether belt 0084downward
between cargo compartment cover 0043and
rear seat backrests 0044.
X Hook Top Tether hook 0083of Top Tether belt

Make sure that:
R Top Tether hook 0083is hooked into Top
Tether anchorage 0085, as shown

Children in the vehicleSafety

we strongly recommend that children be
placed in the rear seat whenever possible.
Regardless of seating position, children 12
years old and under must be seated and prop- erly secured in an appropriately sized child
restraint system or booster seat recommen-
ded for the size and weight of the child. For
additional information, see the "Children in
the vehicle" section.
A child's risk of serious or fatal injuries is sig- nificantly increased if the child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle and/or thechild is not properly secured in the child
restraint.
! To avoid damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following information:
R keep liquids from spilling on the seats. If
liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them as soon as possible.
R if the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat
heating should also not be used to dry
the seats.
R clean the seat covers as recommended;
see "Interior care".
R do not transport heavy loads on the
seats. Do not place sharp objects on the seat cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The seats should only be occupied by
passengers, if possible.
R when the seat heating is in operation, do
not cover the seats with insulating mate-
rials, e.g. blankets, coats, bags, seat cov- ers, child seats or booster seats.
! Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell under or behind the seats when
moving the seats back. There is a risk that
the seats and/or the objects could be dam- aged.
i It is not possible to remove the head
restraints from the front seats. The rear-
compartment head restraints, however,
can be removed (Y page 108). For more information, contact a qualified
specialist workshop.

side.
R the exterior mirrors fold out again automat-
ically as soon as you unlock the vehicle and
then open the driver's or front-passenger
door.
Exterior mirror pushed out of position If an exterior mirror has been pushed out of
position, proceed as follows:
X Vehicles without electrically folding
exterior mirrors: move the exterior mirror
into the correct position manually.
X Vehicles with electrically folding exte-
rior mirrors: press and hold button for
folding the mirrors 0043(Ypage 115) until

Depending on the vehicle's equipment,
there may be open stowage spaces above
and below the stowage compartment. Stowage net
G
WARNING
Vehicles with the Occupant Classification
System (OCS):
If the gross weight of the objects in the stow- age net on the back of the front-passenger
seat is greater than 4.4 lb (2 kg), OCS cannot
correctly assess the occupant's weight cate-
gory. The front-passenger front air bag could
deploy without cause, or may fail to deploy in
the event of an accident. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Never exceed the permissible gross weight of 4.4 lb (2 kg). Stow and secure heavy objects inthe cargo compartment.
Stowage nets are located in the front-
passenger footwell and on the back of the
driver's and the front-passenger seat.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 334)
and the safety notes regarding stowage
spaces (Y page 335). Through-loading facility in the rear
If objects or loads are not secured when being
transported in the through-loading facility,
they could slip or be thrown around and
thereby hit vehicle occupants.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 334)
and the safety notes regarding stowage
spaces (Y page 335). The through-loading facility is opened from
the cargo compartment.
X Release the seat backrests in the second
row of seats and tilt them in the cargo/load
position (Y page 108).
X Fold down the rear seat armrest.
X Pull the center head restraint on the rear
bench seat into the uppermost position
(Y page 106).
X Slide release catch 0043to the left and swing

wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
R The vehicle occupant would thereby be
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.
R Objects or loads in the trunk/cargo com-
partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged.
! Fold the seat cushion upwards before
folding the rear bench seat forward. Other-
wise, the backrests may be damaged.
When the backrest is folded forwards, the
front seats should not be moved to their
rearmost position. Otherwise, the front
seats and the rear bench seat could be
damaged.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 334).
The left-hand and right-hand rear seat backr- ests can be folded forwards separately to
increase the cargo compartment capacity.
Folding the rear bench seat forwards !
The backrest is heavy. Therefore, take
care when folding it down. Make sure that
the head restraints are pushed all the way
in so that the backrests and seat cushions
are not damaged. i
If the driver's or front-passenger seat is
set for a larger person, it may not be pos-
sible to fold the rear bench seat forwards.
In this case, move the front seats as far
forward as possible.
X Move the head restraints to the lowest
position (Y page 108).
X Fold seat cushion 0043upwards. X
Pull release handle 0044upwards in the direc-
tion of the arrow until the backrest is fully
released.
