Pets in the vehicle
GWARNING
If you leave animals unattended or unse-
cured in the vehicle, they could press but-
tons or switches, for example.
As a result, they could:
Ractivate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
Ractivate or deactivate systems, thereby
endangering other road users
Unsecured animals could also be flung
around the vehicle in the event of an acci- dent or sudden steering or braking, thereby
injuring vehicle occupants. There is a risk
of an accident and injury.
Never leave animals unattended in the
vehicle. Always secure animals properly
during the journey, e.g. use a suitable ani-
mal transport box.

engine can be started by anyone with a valid
Smart Key that is left inside the vehicle.
iThe immobilizer is always deactivated

ted when the starter battery is fully
charged, the immobilizer may be faulty.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Children could become trapped if they
adjust the seats, particularly when unat-
tended. There is a risk of injury.
Seats61
>> Seats, steering wheel and mirrors.
Z

When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in
motion. This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always make sure that the driver's seat is
engaged before starting the vehicle.
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, steering wheel
or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors and fasten your seat belt before
starting the engine.
GWARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
GWARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved
the backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdomen or neck injuries, for
example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the back-
rest is in an almost vertical position and
that the shoulder section of your seat belt
is routed across the center of your shoul-
der.
Observe the safety notes on "Airbags"
(
Ypage 34) and "Children in the vehicle"
(Ypage 42).
!To avoid damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following informa-
tion:
Rkeep liquids from spilling on the seats.
If liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them
as soon as possible.
Rif the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat heat- ing should also not be used to dry the
seats.
Rclean the seat covers as recommended;
see the "Interior care" section.
Rdo not transport heavy loads on the seats.
Do not place sharp objects on the seat
cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The seats should only be occupied by passen-
gers, if possible.
Rwhen the seat heating is in operation, do
not cover the seats with insulating mate-
rials, e.g. blankets, coats, bags, seat
covers, child seats or booster seats.
!Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell under or behind the seats when
moving the seats back. There is a risk that
the seats and/or the objects could be dam-
aged.
