. WARNING
● When lock in
g the vehicle from the outside,
make sure that nobody is inside the vehicle,
as the windows cannot be opened from the
inside in an emergency.
● For safety reasons, use safety button 5 ›››
Fig. 128 that de
activates the window
switches on the rear doors when children are
travelling in the rear seats. CAUTION
● Keep the w indo
ws clean to ensure the sys-
tem operates correctly.
● Defrost ››› page 197, Windows and mirrors
an
y frozen windows before use. Otherwise
you run the risk of damaging the electric win-
dow riser mechanism. ●
Alw a
ys make sure all of the windows are
closed on leaving the locked vehicle. Note
● The vehic
le heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle
and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, a
s this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Note
The electric window opening mechanism is
equipped w ith a thermo
stat switch. This may
overheat if the window is opened and closed
repeatedly. This causes the window to lock
temporarily. Once the thermostat switch has
cooled down, the window can be operated
once again. Roll-back function on the electric win-

ror to e
stimate distances to vehicles behind

Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.
Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
The correct seat position is very important
for:
● reaching all of the controls safely and
quick ly
,
● a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-
gue,
● maximum protection from the seat belts
and airbag sys
tem WARNING
● Adjus t
the driver seat only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Risk of accident!
● Be careful when adjusting the front seats!
Carel
ess and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries. ●
The bac k
rests must not be reclined too far
back while driving. This could limit the effect
of the seat belts and the airbag system. Risk
of injury!
● Never transport more than the permitted
amount of
people in your vehicle.
● Every occupant in the vehicle must properly
fas
ten and wear the seat belt belonging to
his or her seat. Children must be protected
with an appropriate child restraint system
››› page 72, Transporting children safely.
● The front seats, head restraints and seat
belts mu
st always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and your
passengers with the greatest possible protec-
tion.
● Your feet should remain in the footwell
while the
vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An in-
correct sitting position exposes you to an in-
creased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!
● It is important for the driver and front pas-
senger t
o keep a distance of at least 25 cm
from the steering wheel and dash panel. Fail-
ure to respect the minimum distance means
that the airbag will not protect you. Risk of
fatal injury if triggered!
● Objects must not be placed in the footwell,
as they
could move to the area of the pedals
in the event of a braking manoeuvre or
change of direction. This would prevent the » 131
