Head-protection airbags Fig. 19
On the left side of the vehicle: location and deployment area of the cur-
tain airbag Fig. 20
Deployed head-protection airbags. The curtain airbags are located on the driver
and front passenger side above the doors
››› Fig. 19 . Airbags are identified by the word
“AIRB AG”.
The ar
ea framed red ››› Fig. 19
is covered by
the curtain airbag when it is deployed (de-
ployment area). Therefore, objects should
never be placed or mounted in these areas. In a side collision, the curtain airbag on the
side affected will be deployed. The airbag
covers the windows and pillars.
In a side collision, the head-protection air-
bags for the front and outer rear seats reduce
the risk of injury to the areas of the body fac-
ing the impact.
WARNING
The airbag is deployed at high speed in frac-
tions of a second.
● Always keep the deployment areas of the
head-protection airbags free.
● Do not fix objects to the cover or in the de-
ployment area of the curtain airbag.
● Vehicle occupants of the front and outer
rear seats must never carry any other people,
pets or objects in the deployment space be-
tween them and the airbags. ●
The built-in coat hooks should be used only
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
● Do not mount accessories on the doors.
● Do not fit curtains to the windows other
than those expressly approved for use in the
vehicle.
● Only turn the sun blinds towards the win-
dows if there is no object, e.g. pens or garage
remote controls, secured to the sun blind. 24

to trigger or may even trigger unexpectedly,
leading to severe or fatal injuries.
● Have the airbag system checked immedi-
ately by a specialised workshop.
● Never mount a child seat in the front pas-
senger seat or remove the mounted child
seat! The front passenger front airbag may
deploy during an accident in spite of the

(multifunction display) menu The multifunction display (MFI) has two auto-
matic memories:
1 - Partial memory and 2 -
T ot

al memory . The selected memory will be shown in the upper right-hand corner of the
display.
With the ignition switched on, and memory 1 or
2 displayed, briefly press
OK to change from
one memory to another.
1
Trip
memory
(for a
single
jour-
ney).
The memory stores the values for the
journey and the consumption from the
moment the ignition is switched on until
it is switched off again.
If the journey is broken for more than 2
hours, the memory is automatically
erased. If the journey is continued in less
than 2 hours after the ignition is switch-
ed off, the new data is added to the data
already stored in the memory.
2
Total
memory
(for all
jour-
neys).
The memory records the values for a spe-
cific number of partial trips, up to a total
of 19 hours and 59 minutes or 99 hours
and 59 minutes, or 1999.9 km (or miles)
for 9999 km (or miles), depending on the
model of instrument panel. On reaching
either of these limits, the memory is au-
tomatically erased and starts to count
from 0 again. Possible displays
