In brief19Parking9Warning
● Do not park the vehicle on an
easily ignitable surface. The
high temperature of the
exhaust system could ignite the
surface.
● Always apply the parking brake. Pull switch m for
approx. one second and check
if the control indicator m
illuminates.
The electric parking brake is applied when control indicator
m illuminates 3 108.
● Switch off the engine. ● If the vehicle is on a level surface or uphill slope, engage
first gear or set the selector
lever to position P before
switching off ignition. On an
uphill slope, turn the front
wheels away from the kerb.
If the vehicle is on a downhill
slope, engage reverse gear or
set the selector lever to position P before switching off ignition.
Turn the front wheels towards
the kerb.
● Close the windows and the sunroof.
● Switch off ignition with power button. Turn the steering wheel
until the steering wheel lock is
felt to engage.
● Lock the vehicle by pressing the button on the door handle.
Activate the anti-theft alarm
system 3 33.
● The engine cooling fans may run
after the engine has been
switched off 3 240.
Caution
After running at high engine
speeds or with high engine loads,
operate the engine briefly at a low
load or run in neutral for
approx. 30 seconds before
switching off, in order to protect
the turbocharger.

4.Press and hold the button C on
the inside of the open tailgate for
three seconds.
Note
Adjusting opening height should be
programmed at ground level.
A chime sound indicates the new
setting and the turn signal lights will
flash. The reduced height can only set at an opening angle of above 30°.
When turning the adjuster wheel in
the driver's door to intermediate mode 3/4 , the power tailgate will stop
opening at the newly set position.
The tailgate can only be held open if a minimum height is exceeded
(minimum opening angle from 30°).
The opening height cannot be
programmed below that height.
Safety function
If the power tailgate encounters an obstacle during opening or closing,
the direction of movement will
automatically be reversed slightly.
Multiple obstacles in one power cycle
will deactivate the function. In this
case, close or open the tailgate
manually.
The power tailgate has pinch sensors
on the side edges. If the sensors
detect obstacles between tailgate and chassis, the tailgate will open, until it
is activated again or closed manually.
The safety function is indicated by a
warning chime.
Remove all obstacles before
resuming normal power operation.
If the vehicle is equipped with factory-
fitted towing equipment and a trailer
is electrically connected, the power
tailgate can only be opened with thetouchpad switch or closed with G in
the open tailgate. Ensure that there
are no obstacles in the moving area.
Overload
If the power tailgate is repeatedly
operated at short intervals, the
function is disabled for some time.
Move tailgate manually into end
position to reset the system.
General hints for operating
tailgate9 Danger
Do not drive with the tailgate open
or ajar, e.g. when transporting
bulky objects, since toxic exhaust
gases, which cannot be seen or
smelled, could enter the vehicle.
This can cause unconsciousness
and even death.
Caution
Before opening the tailgate, check overhead obstructions, e.g. a
garage door, to avoid damage to

restraint upwards and remove.
Front seats
Seat position9 Warning
Only drive with the seat correctly
adjusted.
9 Danger
Do not sit closer than 25 cm to the
steering wheel, to permit safe
airbag deployment.
9 Warning
Never adjust seats while driving as
they could move uncontrollably.
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 fully
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 all
sides 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.
Page 49 of 323

Seats, restraints47● Sit with shoulders as far backagainst 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°.

a way that the wrist rests on top
of the steering wheel while the
arm is fully extended and
shoulders on the backrest.

● Adjust the head restraint 3 44.
● 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.Manual seat adjustment
Drive only with engaged seats and
backrests.

Seats, restraints57Using the seat belt while pregnant9Warning
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.9 Warning
The airbag system deploys in an
explosive manner, repairs must be performed by skilled personnel
only.
9 Warning
Adding accessories that change
the vehicle's frame, bumper
system, height, front end or side
sheet metal, may keep the airbag
system from working properly. The operation of the airbag system can
also be affected by changing any
parts of the front seats, seat belts,
airbag sensing and diagnostic
module, steering wheel,
instrument panel, inner door seals including the speakers, any of the
airbag modules, ceiling or pillar
trim, front sensors, side impact
sensors or airbag wiring.
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 affix any objects onto the
airbag covers and do not cover them with other materials. Have damagedcovers 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.
