Airbag system
●
Gre at
forces, such as hard blows or kicks,
must not be exerted upon the backrest
bolster because the system may be damaged.
In this case, the side airbags would not be
triggered.
● Under no circumstances should protective
cov
ers be fitted over seats with side airbags
unless the covers have been approved for use
in your vehicle. Because the airbag deploys
from the side of the backrest, the use of con-
ventional seat covers would obstruct the side
airbag, seriously reducing the airbag's effec-
tiveness.
● Any damage to the original seat upholstery
or around the se
ams of the side airbag units
must be repaired immediately by a special-
ised workshop.
● The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; r
eplace them once they have de-
ployed.
● Any work on the side airbag system or re-
mova
l and installation of the airbag compo-
nents for other repairs (such as removal of
the front seat) should only be performed by a
specialised workshop. Otherwise, faults may
occur during the airbag system operation.
● Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag sys
tem in any way.
● The side and head airbags are managed
through sensor
s located in the interior of the
front doors. To ensure the correct operation of
the side and curtain (head) airbags neither
the doors nor the door panels should be
modified in any way (e.g. fitting loudspeak-
ers). If the front door is damaged, the airbag system may not work correctly. All work car-
ried out on the fr
ont
door must be done in a
specialised workshop.
● In a side-on collision the side airbags will
not work
if the sensors do not correctly meas-
ure the pressure increase on the interior of
the doors, due to air escaping through the
areas with holes or openings in the door pan-
el.
● Never drive the vehicle if the interior panels
have been r
emoved.
● Never drive if the interior door panels have
been remov
ed or if the panels have not been
correctly fitted.
● Never drive the vehicle if the loudspeakers
in the door panels
have been removed, un-
less the holes left by the loudspeakers have
been closed properly.
● Always check that the openings are closed
or cov
ered if loudspeakers or other equip-
ment are fitted inside the door panels.
● Any work carried out to the doors should be
made in an authori
sed specialised workshop. Head-protection airbags*
Read the additional information carefully
› ›
›
page 16. WARNING
● In order f or the he
ad-protection airbags to
provide their maximum protection, the pre- scribed sitting position must always be main-
tained w
ith se
at belts fastened while travel-
ling.
● For safety reasons, the curtain airbag must
be disab
led in those vehicles fitted with a
screen dividing the interior of the vehicle.
See your technical service to make this ad-
justment.
● There must be no other persons, animals or
obj
ects between the occupants of the rear
seats and the deployment space of the head-
protection airbags so that the head-protec-
tion airbag can deploy without restriction and
provide the greatest possible protection.
Therefore, sun blinds which have not been
expressly approved for use in your vehicle
may not be attached to the side windows
● The built-in coat hooks should be used only
for lightweight
clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
Please, do not hang the clothes on coat hang-
ers.
● The airbags provide protection for just one
accident; r
eplace them once they have de-
ployed.
● Any work on the head-protection airbag
syst
em or removal and installation of the air-
bag components for other repairs (such as re-
moval of the roof lining) should only be per-
formed by a specialised workshop. Other-
wise, faults may occur during the airbag sys-
tem operation.
● Do not attempt to modify components of
the airbag sys
tem in any way. » 71

Follow the manufacturer's instructions and
o b
ser
ve any statutory requirements when in-
stalling and using child seats. Always read
and note ››› page 74.
We recommend you always carry the manu-
facturer's Child Seat Instruction Manual to-
gether with the on-board documentation.
Important information regarding the
front p
assenger's airbag Read the additional information carefully
› ›
›
page 16.
Read and always observe the safety informa-
tion included in the following chapters:
● Safety distance with respect to the passen-
ger airbag ›
›› page 67, Why is it so important
to wear a seat belt and to sit correctly? .
● Objects between the passenger and the
pas
senger side airbag ››› in Front airbags
on p ag
e 70
.
The passenger side front airbag, when ena-
bled, is a serious risk for a child that is facing
backward since the airbag can strike the seat
with such force that it can cause serious or
fatal injuries. Children up to 12 years old
should always travel on the rear seat.
Therefore we strongly recommend you to
transport children on the rear seats. This is
the safest location in the vehicle. Alternative- ly, the front passenger airbag can be disa-
bled w
ith a key-operated switch ››› page 72.
When transporting children, use a child seat
suitable for the age and size of each child
››› page 73. WARNING
● If a c hi
ld seat is secured to the front pas-
senger seat, the risk to the child of sustain-
ing critical or fatal injuries in the event of an
accident increases.
● An inflating front passenger airbag can
strike the r
ear-facing child seat and project it
with great force against the door, the roof or
the backrest.
● Never install a child seat facing backwards
on the front p
assenger seat unless the front
passenger front airbag has been disabled.
Risk of potentially fatal injuries to the child!
However, if it is necessary, in exceptional ca-
ses, to transport a child in the front passen-
ger seat, the front passenger front airbag
must always be disabled ››› page 72. If the
front passenger seat has a height adjustment
option, move it to the highest position.
● For those vehicles that do not include a key
lock sw
itch to deactivate the airbag, the vehi-
cle must be taken to a technical service.
● All vehicle occupants, especially children,
must
assume the proper sitting position and
be properly belted in while travelling.
● Never hold children or babies on your lap,
this c
an result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child! ●
Never a l
low a child to be transported in a
vehicle without being properly secured, or to
stand up or kneel on a seat while travelling.
In an accident, the child could be flung
through the vehicle, causing possibly fatal in-
juries to themselves and to the other vehicle
occupants.
● If children assume an improper sitting posi-
tion when the vehic
le is moving, they expose
themselves to greater risk of injury in the
event of a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly important if the
child is travelling on the front passenger seat
and the airbag system is triggered in an acci-
dent; as this could cause serious injury or
even death.
● A suitable child seat can protect your child!
● Never leave a child alone in the child seat
or inside the
vehicle because depending on
the season, very high temperatures may be
reached inside a parked vehicle, which could
be fatal.
● Children who are less than 1.5 metres tall
must
not wear a normal seat belt without a
child seat, as this could cause injuries to the
abdominal and neck areas during a sudden
braking manoeuvre or in an accident.
● Only one child may occupy a child seat

Opening and closing
Unlocking and locking the boot hatch
When the v
ehic
le is locked, the hatch auto-
matically unlocks on opening if ››› Fig. 124
there is a valid vehicle key in the proximity.
Open or close the hatch normally
››› page 118.
After closing, the hatch locks automatically.
In the following instances, the rear lid does
not lock automatically after closing:
● If the entire vehicle is unlocked.
● If the key used last is inside the vehicle. All
vehicl
e indicator lights flash four times. The
vehicle will lock again after a few seconds if
no door or boot hatch are opened.
Locking the vehicle with a second key
If there is a vehicle key inside the vehicle and
it is locked from the outside with a second
vehicle key, the key inside the vehicle is
blocked for engine ignition ››› page 152. In
order to enable engine ignition, the button
on the key inside the vehicle needs to be
pressed ››› page 108.
Automatically disabling sensors
If the vehicle is not locked or unlocked for a
long period of time, the proximity sensor on
the passenger door is automatically disa-
bled.
If one of the sensor surfaces on the door han-
dles is often activated in an unusual manner with the vehicle locked (e.g. by the branches
of a bu
sh rubbing against it), all proximity
sensors are disabled for a time. If this only
happens with the exterior sensor on the driv-
er's door, only this sensor is disabled.
Sensors will again be enabled:
● After a time.
● OR: if the vehicle is unlocked with the but-
ton
on the key.
● OR: if the boot is opened.

● If there is no valid key inside the vehicle or
the syst
em fails to detect one, a warning will
display on the dash panel screen. This could
happen if any other radio frequency signal in-
terferes with the key signal (e.g. from a mo-
bile device accessory) or if the key is covered
by another object (e.g. an aluminium case).
● If the sensors are very dirty, e.g. have a lay-
er of sa

when your vehicle is tried to be forced.
Activating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm switches on automatical-
ly when the vehicle is locked using the re-
mote control key or inserting the key in the
driver door. The alarm is activated around 30
seconds after the vehicle is locked.
Deactivating the alarm system
The anti-theft alarm system is deactivated
when the remote control unlock button is
pressed. If the vehicle is not opened within
30 seconds after emitting the radio frequen-
cy signal, the system will be reactivated.
If the vehicle is unlocked using by inserting
the key in the driver door, the ignition must
be switched on within 15 seconds. This deac-
tivates the alarm system. If, during these 15
seconds, the vehicle is not started , the alarm
is triggered .
