Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions.
Forward-facing child restraint system If you secure a child in a forward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenger seat,
always move the front-passenger seat as far
back as possible. Fully retract the seat cush-
ion length. The entire base of the child
restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushion of the front-passenger seat. The
backrest of the child restraint system must lie as flat as possible against the backrest of thefront-passenger seat. The child restraint sys-
tem must not touch the roof or be subjected
to a load by the head restraint. Adjust the
angle of the seat backrest and the head
restraint position accordingly. Always make
sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly
routed from the front-passenger seat-belt
extender to the shoulder belt guide on the
child restraint system. The shoulder belt strap
must be routed forwards from the retracted
front-passenger seat seat-belt extender.
Always observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation and operating
instructions. Pets in the vehicle
G
WARNING
If you leave animals unattended or unsecured in the vehicle, they could press buttons or
switches, for example.
As a result, they could:
R activate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
R activate or deactivate systems, thereby
endangering other road users
Unsecured animals could also be flung around
the vehicle in the event of an accident or sud- den steering or braking, thereby injuring vehi- cle occupants. There is a risk of an accident
and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the vehi-
cle. Always secure animals properly during
the journey, e.g. use a suitable animal trans-
port box.
Driving safety systems
Overview of driving safety systems
In this section, you will find information about the following driving safety systems:
R ABS ( Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
(Y page 66)
R BAS ( Brake Assist System) (Y page 66)
R BAS PLUS (B rakeAssist System PLUS) with
Cross-Traffic Assist (Y page 67)

R STEER CONTROL (Y page 75) Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you
are inattentive, the driving safety systems can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor
override the laws of physics. Driving safety
systems are merely aids designed to assist
driving. You are responsible for maintaining
the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time and for stay-
ing in lane. Always adapt your driving style to
suit the prevailing road and weather condi-
tions and maintain a safe distance from the
vehicle in front. Drive carefully. Driving safety systems

This is carried out by means of a brief radio connection between the vehicle and the
SmartKey. Convenience opening
General notes You can ventilate the vehicle before you start
driving.
If the SmartKey is in close proximity to the
vehicle, the convenience opening function is
available.
To do this, the SmartKey is used to carry out
the following functions simultaneously:
R unlock the vehicle
R open the side windows
R open the panorama roof roller sunblind
R switch on the seat ventilation for the driv-
er's seat

WARNING
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window
closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing feature is then not active. Parts of the
body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
When opening or closing the roller sunblind,
parts of the body could be trapped between
the roller sunblind and the frame. There is a
risk of injury.
When opening or closing make sure that no
parts of the body are in the sweep of the roller sunblind. If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or
R during automatic operation, push the
switch briefly in any direction
The opening or closing procedure will be stop-
ped.
The roller sunblind shields the vehicle interior
from sunlight.

feature is only an aid and is not a substitute
for your attention when closing the roller sun- blind. G
WARNING
The reversing feature especially does not
react to soft, light and thin objects such as
small fingers. This means that the reversing
feature cannot prevent someone being trap-
ped in these situations. There is a risk of
injury.
When closing make sure that no parts of the
body are in the sweep of the roller sunblind.
If somebody becomes trapped:
R release the switch immediately, or

General notes MAGIC SKY CONTROL is a glass roof, the
transparency of which can be changed by
applying electrical voltage.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL can be switched
between darkened and transparent states.
i MAGIC SKY CONTROL darkens automat-
ically after a short period when you turn the SmartKey to position 0or remove it.
Risk of electric shock G
DANGER
MAGIC SKY CONTROL operates using high
voltage. If the headliner behind the panorama roof is damaged or removed, electrical com-
ponents will be exposed. If you touch these
components, you could get an electric shock.
There is a risk of fatal injury.
R Never remove the headliner behind the
panorama roof.
R If the headliner is damaged, never touch the
electrical components behind it.
R Always have work on the MAGIC SKY CON-
TROL carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. The high-voltage components of MAGIC SKY
CONTROL are protected behind the head-
liner.
The MAGIC SKY CONTROL voltage trans-
former is stamped with a high-voltage sym-
bol, warning you about the high voltage. The
electric cables of the high-voltage section are color orange.
Operating MAGIC SKY CONTROL X
Turn the SmartKey to position 1or 2in the
ignition lock (Y page 147).
MAGIC SKY CONTROL switches to the sta-
tus it was set to before the engine was
switched off.
X To change the degree of transparency:

Useful information
i This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops (Y page 25). Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise fog up.
To prevent the windows from fogging up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R switch on air-recirculation mode only
briefly
R switch on the cooling with air dehumidifi-
cation function
R switch on the defrost windshield function
briefly, if required
Climate control regulates the temperature
and air humidity in the vehicle interior. The air filter cleans the air, thus improving the inte-
rior climate.
The "Cooling with air dehumidification" func-
tion is only available when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum climate control is only ach-
ieved with the side windows and roof closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 139).
i Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 95). This
will speed up the cooling process and the desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. It also reduces gaseous pol-
lutants and odors. A clogged filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle
interior. For this reason, you should alwaysobserve the interval for replacing the filter,which is specified in the Maintenance
Booklet. As it depends on environmental
conditions, e.g. heavy air pollution, the
interval may be shorter than stated in the
Maintenance Booklet.
i It is possible that the blower may be acti-
vated automatically 60 minutes after the
SmartKey has been removed depending on various factors, e.g. the outside tempera-
ture. The vehicle is then ventilated for
30 minutes to dry the climate control sys-
tem. 132
