Seats, restraints45Airbag 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.
Note
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 stick anything on 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 might 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.

Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 50.
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.
The warning label reminds that the
use of rear-facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat
is not permitted. Risk of fatal injury.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby considerably
reducing the risk of injury to the upper body and head of the front seat
occupants.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 36.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then the
airbag is able to protect.

Rear carrier system
The rear carrier system (Flex-Fix
system) allows bicycles to be
attached to a pull-out carrier
integrated into the vehicle floor. The
transportation of other objects is not
permitted.
The maximum load of the rear carrier
system is 40 kg. The maximum load
per bicycle is 20 kg.
The wheelbase of a bicycle must not
exceed 1.2 metres. Otherwise the
secure fastening of a bicycle is not possible.
If not in use, the carrier system must
be slid back into the vehicle floor.
A multifunction box is offered as an
accessory for the rear carrier system.
There must not be any objects on thebicycles that could become loose
during transportation.Caution
If the rear carrier system is
extended and the vehicle is fully
loaded, the chassis clearance will
be reduced.
Drive carefully whenever the road has a strong inclination or when
driving over a ramp, bump, etc.
Caution
Do not attach bicycles with carbon pedal cranks to bicycle carriers.
The bicycles might get damaged.
Extending
Open the tailgate.

62StoragePress the release lever and withdraw
the wheel recesses.
Push the release lever on the strap
retainer and remove the strap
retainer.
Prepare the bicycle for
attachment
Note
The maximum width for the pedal
crank is 38.3 mm and the maximum
depth is 14.4 mm.
Rotate the left pedal (without a chain
cog) vertically downwards. The pedal
on the left pedal crank must be
horizontal.
The front bicycle must have its front
wheel facing left.
The rear bicycle must have its front
wheel facing right.
Attaching a bicycle to the rear
carrier system
Put on the bicycle. The pedal crank
here must be placed in the pedal
crank recess opening as shown in the
illustration.
Caution
Make sure that the pedal does not
touch the surface of the rear end
carrier. Otherwise the bicycle
crankset might be damaged
during transport.

Storage63
Insert pedal crank mount into outer
rail of each pedal crank recess from
above and slide downwards as far as
it will go.
Attach the pedal crank by rotating the
attachment screw on the pedal crank
mount.
Place the wheel recesses such that
the bicycle is more or less horizontal. Here, the distance between the
pedals and the tailgate should be at
least 5 cm.
Both bicycle tyres must be in the
wheel recesses.
Caution
Make sure to pull out the wheel
recesses as far as necessary to have both bicycle tyres placed in
the recesses. Otherwise a
horizontal mounting of the bicycle
is not ensured. Disregard could
lead to damage of the bicycle
wheels caused by hot exhaust
fumes.
Align the bicycle in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle: Slightly
loosen the pedal mount.
Place the bicycle upright using the
rotary lever on the pedal crank
recess.
If the two bicycles obstruct one
another, the relative positions of the
bicycles can be adapted by adjusting
the wheel recesses and the rotary

64Storagelever on the pedal crank recess until
the bicycles no longer touch one
another. Make sure there is sufficient
clearance from the vehicle.
Tighten the attachment screw for the
pedal bearing mount to its maximum
point by hand.
Secure both bicycle wheels to the
wheel recesses using strap retainers.
Check the bicycle to make sure it is
secure.
Caution
Ensure gap between bicycle and
vehicle is at least 5 cm. If
necessary, loosen handlebar and swivel sideways.
The settings for the wheel recesses
and on the rotary lever on the pedal
crank recess should be noted and saved for each bicycle. Correct
presetting will facilitate refitting of the
bicycle.
Note
It is recommended to attach a
warning sign at the rearmost bicycle to increase visibility.
Removing a bicycle from the rear
carrier system
Undo strap retainers on both bicycle
tyres.
Hold on to the bicycle, loosen the attachment screw for the pedal
bearing mount, then lift the pedal
bearing mount to remove it.

Storage65Retracting the rear carrier system
Push the pedal crank mounts into the
pedal crank recess as shown in the
illustration.
Insert the strap retainer and pull
tightly downwards as far as possible.
Press release lever and slide in wheel recesses all the way as far as they will
go.
Disengage the locking lever on the
diagonal support and fold both pedal
crank recesses down.
9 Warning
Risk of pinching.

Do not allow objects to protrude
above the top of the rear floor
storage compartment, to avoid
damage to the storage area and
the load compartment floor.

Lashing eyes
The lashing eyes are designed to
secure items against slippage, e.g.
using lashing straps or a luggage floor
net.
Two additional lashing eyes are
located in front of the rear seats.
Designed for carrying small, light
items only, a luggage floor net helps
keep loads from moving during sharp turns or quick starts and stops.
To install: attach the four net hooks to
the lashing eyes mounted on the load
compartment floor.
Warning triangle Stow the warning triangle below the
floor cover in the load compartment.
First aid kit Stow the first aid kit below the floorcover in the load compartment.
Fire extinguisher Stow the fire extinguisher securely in
the load compartment.Roof rack system
Roof rack
For safety reasons and to avoid
damage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact a workshop.
Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails
following the instructions that
accompany the system, ensuring that
the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.
Loads must not be placed on the roof
surface. To prevent damage or loss,
check frequently that roof loads are
securely fastened.
Driving with a roof load affects the
vehicle centre of gravity; drive
carefully in crosswinds and do not
drive at high speeds.
Remove the roof rack when not in
use.
