To unfasten belt, press red button on
belt buckle. The seat belt retracts automatically.
Seat belts on the rear seats The seat belt for the rear centre seat
can only be withdrawn from the
retractor if the backrest is in the rear
position.
Using the seat belt while pregnant9 Warning
The lap belt must be positioned as
low as possible across the pelvis
to prevent pressure on the
abdomen.
Airbag 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.
Note
Depending on the severity of a
collision, the fuel system may also be cut-off and the engine switched
off automatically, for safety reasons. Resetting the fuel cut-off system;
refer to "Fuel system messages"
3 97.
Note
Expiry dates for replacing the airbag system components may be found
on the label inside the glovebox.
Contact a workshop to have the
airbag system components
replaced.
Instruments and controls77Warning lights, gauges
and indicators
Instrument cluster
The needles of the instruments may
briefly rotate to the end position when the ignition is switched on.
Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
Odometer
Displays the recorded distance in km. H may appear in the display until the
vehicle has travelled 100 km.
Trip odometer
Displays the recorded distance since
the last reset.
Depending on version (standard or
multifunction display), there may be
two independent trip odometers, A or
B , which indicate how far the vehicle
has been driven since the last reset.
To reset the trip odometer, press and
hold TRIP on the end of the wiper
lever 3 97 for a few seconds while
the relevant trip odometer is
displayed.
Tachometer
Displays the engine speed.
Drive in a low engine speed range for each gear as much as possible.
80Instruments and controlsBased on driving conditions, the
interval at which a service will be
indicated can vary considerably.
When the remaining distance before
the next service is less than 2,000 km ,
Serv. appears in the Driver
Information Centre. The service
reminder is repeated after every
additional 200 km and becomes more
frequent when the remaining distance
is below 200 km.
When the remaining distance has
reduced to zero, a warning message, e.g. Service coupon expired , appears
in the Driver Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the assistance of a workshop.
The remaining distance to the next
service may also be viewed in the
Driver Information Centre by
selecting Service from the settings
menu options 3 91.
Resetting the service display After a service, the service display
must be reset by a workshop.

not present in all vehicles. The
description applies to all instrument
versions. Depending on the
equipment, the position of the control
indicators may vary.
When the ignition is switched on,
most control indicators will illuminate
briefly as a functionality test.
The control indicator colours mean:red:danger, important reminderyellow:warning, information, faultgreen:confirmation of activationblue:confirmation of activationwhite:confirmation of activation
Instruments and controls899Warning
When the engine is off,
considerably more force is needed
to brake and steer. During an
Autostop the brake servo unit will still be operational.
Do not remove ignition key until
vehicle is stationary, otherwise the steering wheel lock could engage
unexpectedly.
Check oil level before seeking the
assistance of a workshop 3 144.

filter
I flashes red.
Illuminates when the ignition is
switched on and extinguishes shortly
after the engine starts.
The engine oil life monitor lets you know when to change the oil. Control
indicator I will flash to indicate that
engine oil life has been diminished
and the oil needs changing.
Depending on version, a
corresponding warning message,
e.g. Change engine oil , may also be
displayed in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91.
Based on driving conditions, the
interval at which an oil change will be
indicated can vary considerably.
Depending on model variant, I may
flash in the following ways:
● for one minute every two hours, or
● for three minute cycles with I off
for intervals of five seconds
The warning will be repeated every
time the engine is started, until the
engine oil is changed and the service display is reset. Seek the assistance
of a workshop.

Fuel system messages
Fuel cut-off system
In the event of a collision of a certain
severity, the fuel system is cut-off and
the engine is switched off
automatically, for safety reasons.
Control indicator 9 3 82 illuminates if
the fuel cut-off switch is triggered and, depending on version, a
corresponding warning message may also appear in the Driver Information
Centre 3 91.
