Replacement keys
The key number is specified in the
Car Pass or on a detachable tag.
The key number must be quoted
when ordering replacement keys as it
is a component of the immobiliser
system.

20Keys, doors and windowsLock cylinders
Designed to free-wheel if they are
forcefully rotated without the correct
key or if the correct key is not fully
inserted. To reset, turn cylinder with
the correct key until its slot is vertical, remove key and then re-insert it. If the
cylinder still free-wheels, turn the key through 180° and repeat operation.
Key with foldaway key section
Press button to extend. To fold the
key, first press the button.
Car Pass
The Car Pass contains security
related vehicle data and should
therefore be kept in a safe place.
When the vehicle is taken to a
workshop, this vehicle data is needed
in order to perform certain operations.
Radio remote control
Used to operate: ● central locking system
● anti-theft locking system
● anti-theft alarm system
● power windows
The radio remote control has a range of approx. 20 metres. It can be
restricted by external influences. The
hazard warning flashers confirm
operation.
Handle with care, protect from
moisture and high temperatures and
avoid unnecessary operation.
Fault
If the central locking system cannot
be operated with the radio remote
control, it may be due to the following:
● The range is exceeded.
● The battery voltage is too low.
● Frequent, repeated operation of the radio remote control while not
in range, which will require re-
synchronisation.
● Overload of the central locking system by operating at frequent
intervals, the power supply is
interrupted for a short time.
● Interference from higher-power radio waves from other sources.
Unlocking 3 22.
Seats, restraints37Front seats
Seat position9 Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
9 Warning
Never adjust seats while driving as
they could move uncontrollably.
9 Danger
Do not sit nearer than 25 cm from
the steering wheel, to permit safe
airbag deployment.
9 Warning
Never store any objects under the
seats.
● Sit with buttocks as far back against the backrest as possible.
Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals so that legs
are slightly angled when pressing the pedals. Slide the front
passenger seat as far back as
possible.
● Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on allsides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.
● Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is
possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly
bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when turning the steering wheel. Do
not angle the backrest too far
back. We recommend a
maximum rake of approx. 25°.
● Adjust seat and steering wheel in
a way that the wrist rests on top
of the steering wheel while the
arm is fully extended and
shoulders are on the backrest.
● Adjust the steering wheel 3 96.
● Adjust the head restraint 3 35.
● Adjust the height of the seat belt 3 50.
● Adjust the thigh support so that there is a space approx. two
fingers wide between the edge of
the seat and the hollow of the
knee.
● Adjust the lumbar support so that
it supports the natural shape of
the spine.
Seats, restraints53Airbag 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. Have damaged
covers replaced by a workshop.
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.

Child restraint systems on front passenger seat with airbag
systems
Warning according to ECE R94.02:
EN: NEVER use a rearward-facing
child restraint on a seat protected by
