● 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 ›››

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 196, Windows and mirrors

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-

Introduction Read the additional information carefully
›› ›

 page 11
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 clutch, brake or accelerator from being press-
ed.
●
Do not place any items on the front passen-
ger se at

other than those allowed (e.g. child
seat). Risk of accident! Note
After a certain time, the backrest angle ad-
ju stment

mechanism may gain a certain
amount of play. 127

For maximum head restraint protection, ad-
just the head restraint so that its upper edge
is at the same level as the top of your head. The head restraint must be adjusted in line
with the height of

users. Correct adjustment
of the head restraint, together with the seat
belts, ensure effective passenger protection
››› page 56. WARNING
● Ba dly

adjusted head restraints increase the
risk of injuries in the event of an accident.
● Never drive with the head restraints re-
moved. Ri
sk of injuries!
● If the seats are in use, never drive with the
rear he
ad restraints in their out-of-use posi-
tion. Seat functions

Press once to connect the heating at maxi-
mum force.
Press the button again to reduce the force of
the heating and switch it off. The force is indi-
cated by the number of warning lamps lit on
the button. WARNING
Do not use the heated seat if your perception
of p ain and/or t

emperature or that of your
passenger is limited, e.g. due to medication,
paralysis or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes). It
could cause burns on the back, buttocks and
legs that are difficult to heal. If you still want
to use the heated seat, take frequent breaks
on long journeys so that the body can recover
from the trip. Ask your doctor about your par-
ticular situation. CAUTION
● To av oid d

amaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pres-
sure at a single point to the seat cushion or
backrest.
● Do not use the heated seats if nobody is
sitting on them or if
there are items attached
to or lying on them, such as a child seat or a bag, etc. This could lead to a fault in the seat
heatin
g el

ements.
● Do not clean the seats with anything damp
›››

page 198. Note
● On ly c

onnect the heated seats when the
engine is running. This provides considerable
savings on the battery capacity.
● In the event of a drop in voltage in the on-
board sy
stems, the heated seats switch off
automatically to ensure enough power to con-
trol the engine ››› page 214, Automatic dis-

Unlocking the backrest. Folding
– Before folding the rear seats, adjust the po-
sition of
the fr
ont seats so that the rear
seats are not damaged. When the front
seats are adjusted to the rear position,
their head restraints should be removed

● Once the b ac

krests have been lifted, the
seat belts and their buckles must be in their
initial position – ready for use.
● The backrests must be safely locked to en-
sure an
y items in the boot cannot move
around the interior of the vehicle in the event
of a sudden braking manoeuvre. Risk of inju-
ries!
● Make sure the rear backrests are correctly
locked. On
ly then will the three-point auto-
matic seat belt on the rear central seat work
correctly. 130

of accident!
● Make sure objects remain in the centre con-
sole or other c
ompartments while the vehicle
is moving. Otherwise, this could prevent you
from braking, changing gear or accelerating.
