Activation without monitoring of
passenger compartment and
vehicle inclination
Switch off the monitoring of
passenger compartment and vehicle
inclination when animals are being

volume ultrasonic signals or
movements triggering the alarm. Also switch off when the vehicle is on a
ferry or train.

LED in the button o does not
illuminate.
If only the windows are open,
passenger compartment monitoring operates restricted and the LED in the
button o illuminates.
Status message is displayed in the
Driver Information Centre.Status LED

Seats, restraints57Airbag 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
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it may be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate escaping hot gases may cause burns.
Fault If there is a fault in the airbag system
the control indicator v illuminates and
a message or a warning code
appears in the Driver Information
Centre. The system is not
operational.
Have the cause of the fault remedied
by a workshop.

Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons
never use a forward-facing child
restraint system on the passenger
seat with an active front airbag.9 Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.
Airbag deactivation 3 62.
Front airbag system The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
Additionally there is a warning label
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 a front-end impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

62Seats, restraintsAirbag deactivationThe front passenger airbag systemmust be deactivated if a child restraint
system is to be fitted on this seat. The side airbags, the belt pretensioners
and all driver airbag systems will
remain active.
The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.
Use the ignition key to choose theposition:* OFF=front passenger airbag is
deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a
collision. Control indicator
* OFF illuminates
continuously in the centre
console. A child restraint
system can be installed in
accordance with the chart
Child restraint installation
locations 3 65. No adult
person is allowed to occupy
the front passenger seat.V ON=front passenger airbag is
active. A child restraint
system must not be
installed.9 Danger
Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system on a seat
with activated front passenger
airbag.
Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person on a seat with deactivated
front passenger airbag.
If the control indicator V illuminates
for approx. 60 seconds after the
ignition is switched on, the front
passenger airbag system will inflate
in the event of a collision.
If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore
no person is allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat. Contact a
workshop immediately.

76StorageLoading information■ Heavy objects in the load compartment should be placed as
far forward as possible. Ensure that the backrests are securely
engaged. If objects can be stacked,
heavier objects should be placed at the bottom.
■ Secure objects with lashing straps attached to the lashing eyes 3 75.
■ Use the hooks in the load compartment for hanging up carrier
bags 3 74 . Maximum load: 5 kg per
hook.
■ Secure loose objects in the load compartment to prevent them from
sliding.
■ When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests ofthe rear seats must not be angled
forward.
■ Do not place any objects on the instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument
panel.■ The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
■ Do not place any objects on the covers of the anti-roll bars behind
the head restraints.
■ Do not drive with an open load compartment.9 Warning
Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.
■ The payload is the difference between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 228) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the
data for your vehicle in the Weights
table at the front of this manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (tank
90 % full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.

Instruments and controls99
above recommends upshifting for
fuel saving reasons.
Eco index display : The current fuel
consumption is indicated on a
segment display. For economical driving adapt your driving style to
keep the filled segments within the
Eco area. The more segments are
filled, the higher the fuel
consumption. Simultaneously the
current consumption value is
indicated.
■ Top Consumers : List of top comfort
consumers currently switched on is displayed in descending order. Fuel
saving potential is indicated. A
switched-off consumer disappears
from the list and the consumption
value will be updated.
During sporadic driving conditions,
the heated rear window is activated automatically to increase engine
load. In this event, the heated rear
window is indicated as one of the
top consumers, without activation
by the driver.
■ Economy Trend : Displays the
average consumption development
over a distance of 50 miles. Filled
segments display the consumption
in 5 mile steps and shows the effect of topography or driving behaviour
on fuel consumption.
