Useful information
i
This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional
equipment of your vehicle available at the
time of publication of the Operator's Man- ual. Country-specific differences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may
not feature all functions described here.
This also applies to safety-relevant sys-
tems and functions.

cialist workshops: (Ypage 20).

Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of
vehicle occupants coming into contact with
parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of
an accident. Furthermore, the restraint sys-
tem may also reduce the forces exerted on the
vehicle occupants when an accident occurs.
The restraint system includes:
RSeat belt system
RAir bags The components of the restraint system work
in conjunction with each other. They can only
offer the intended level of protection if all
vehicle occupants:
Rare correctly wearing their seat belts.
(Ypage 32)
Radjust their seat properly (Ypage 61).
The driver is also responsible for ensuring
that the steering wheel has been correctly
positioned. Observe the information relat-
ing to the correct driver's seat position
(
Ypage 61).
Always ensure the air bag can inflate prop-
erly if deployed (
Ypage 34).
An air bag supplements a correctly fastened
seat belt. As an additional safety device, the
air bag increases the level of protection for
vehicle occupants in the event of an accident.
For example, if the protection already pro-
vided by a correctly fastened seat belt will
suffice, the air bags are not deployed. Fur-
thermore, only the air bags that would
increase the degree of protection afforded to
the vehicle occupants in the event of an acci-
dent are deployed. Seat belts and air bags
generally do not protect against objects pen-
etrating the vehicle from the outside.
Information on restraint system operation
can be found under "Triggering of Emergency
Tensioning Devices and air bags"
(
Ypage 40).
See “Children in the vehicle” for information on children traveling with you as well as
vehicle restraint systems (
Ypage 42).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Modifications to the restraint system may
cause it to no longer work as intended. The
restraint system may then not perform its
intended protective function and may fail
in an accident or trigger unexpectedly, for
example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Never tamper with the wiring, the elec-
tronic components or their software.
If it is necessary to modify an air bag sys-
tem to accommodate a person with disabil-

Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and
at regular intervals while the engine is run-
ning. Therefore, malfunctions can be detec-
ted in good time.
The0075 restraint system warning lamp in
the instrument cluster lights up when the
ignition is switched on. It goes out no later
than a few seconds after the vehicle is star-
ted. The components of the restraint system
are in operational readiness.
A malfunction has occurred if the 0075
restraint system warning lamp:
Rdoes not light up after the ignition is
switched on
Rdoes not go out after a few seconds with the
engine running
Rlights up again while the engine is running
GWARNING
If restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or might not be trig-
gered at all in the event of an accident with
a high rate of vehicle deceleration. This
can affect the Emergency Tensioning
Device or air bag, for example. This poses
an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in a qualified specialist work-
shop as soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp 0043and
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp 0044are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS).
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled. If, in
the event of an accident, all deployment
criteria are met, the front-passenger front
air bag is deployed.
RPASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the
front-passenger front air bag is deactiva-
ted. It will then not be deployed in the
event of an accident.
Depending on the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front air
bag must either be deactivated or enabled;
see the following points. You must make sure
of this both before and during a journey.
RChildren in a child restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag
is enabled or deactivated depends on the
installed child restraint system, and the
age and size of the child. Therefore, be
sure to observe the notes on the "Occupant
Classification System (OCS)" (
Ypage 36)
and on "Children in the vehicle"
(
Ypage 42). There you will also find
instructions on rearward and forward-
facing child restraint systems on the
front-passenger seat.
RAll other persons: depending on the clas-
sification of the person in the front-
passenger seat, the front-passenger front
air bag is enabled or deactivated
(
Ypage 36). Be sure to observe the notes
on "Seat belts“ (Ypage 31) and "Air bags"
