Seats, restraints65Press the switch in and rotate to
choose the position:* OFF:front passenger seat airbag
system is deactivated and
will not inflate in the event of a collision. Control indicator
* OFF illuminates
continuously in the roof
console 3 94, 3 97 and
a corresponding message
appears in the Driver
Information Centre 3 102.Ó ON:front passenger airbag
system is active.9 Danger
Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 68.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.
If control indicator ÓON illuminates
after the ignition is switched on and
control indicator *OFF is not
illuminated, the front passenger
airbag system will inflate in the event
of a collision.
If both control indicators ÓON and
* OFF are illuminated
simultaneously, there is a system
failure. The status of the system is not discernible, therefore no person is
permitted to occupy the front
passenger seat. Contact a workshop immediately.
If control indicator F 3 98
illuminates together with v 3 97,
this indicates a fault within the
system. The switch position may have been changed inadvertently with the
ignition on. Turn ignition off and on
again and reset the switch position. If
F and v still remain illuminated, seek
the assistance of a workshop.
Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off. Status remains until the next change.

deactivation 3 97.Child restraints
Child restraint systems9 Danger
If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the table 3 68.
Airbag deactivation 3 64.
Airbag label 3 59.
We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.
When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions
and also those supplied with the child
restraint system.
Instruments and controls91Warning lights, gauges
and indicators
Instrument cluster
In some versions, the needles of the
instruments briefly rotate to the end
position when the ignition is switched on.
Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
Speed limiter Maximum speed may be restricted by
a speed limiter. As a visible indication
of this, a warning label is located on
the instrument panel.
A warning buzzer will sound for
ten seconds every 40 seconds if the
vehicle briefly exceeds the set limit.
Note
Under certain conditions (e.g. steep
inclines), the vehicle speed may
exceed the set limit.
Speed limiter 3 155.
Cruise control 3 152.Odometer
Displays the recorded distance.
Trip odometer The trip odometer appears below the
odometer in the Driver Information
Centre and displays the distance
travelled since the last reset.
To reset, with the trip odometer
displayed, press and hold button on
end of wiper lever for a few seconds
with the ignition on. The display will
flash and the value will reset to zero.

94Instruments and controlsWhen the distance reaches 0 km or
the service date is due, control
indicator F illuminates in the
instrument cluster and the Driver
Information Centre respectively, and
a corresponding message appears in the Driver Information Centre.
The vehicle needs a service. Seek the
assistance of a workshop.
Resetting the service display
After a service, the service display must be reset:
Select the 'distance before service' display in the Driver Information
Centre by pressing button repeatedly
on the end of the wiper lever, then
press and hold button for approx.
ten seconds until the 'distance before
service' is displayed continuously, i.e. the display no longer flashes.
On some vehicles, it may be
necessary to press and hold the
button twice. In this event, proceed as follows:
After selecting the 'distance before
service' display, press and hold
button for approx. ten seconds until
the 'distance before service' flashes inthe display. Then press and hold
button again for approx. ten seconds
to reset the service interval.
If control indicator F does not
extinguish from the instrument
cluster, drive a minimum of 15 km then switch off ignition for at least
one minute before repeating
procedure.

The trip computer provides
information on driving data, which is
continually recorded and evaluated electronically.
Depending on vehicle, the following
functions can be selected by pressing button repeatedly on end of wiper
lever:
● fuel used
● average consumption
● instantaneous consumption
● range
● distance travelled
● average speed
● AdBlue percentage remaining 3 141
● distance before service 3 93

Fuel used Displays the amount of fuel
consumed since the last reset.
The measurement can be restarted at
any time by pressing and holding the
button.
Average consumption The value is displayed after driving a
distance of 400 metres.Average consumption is displayed,
taking into consideration the distance

any time.
Instantaneous consumption
The value is displayed after reaching
a speed of 30 km/h.
Range The value is displayed after driving adistance of 400 metres.
The range is calculated from the
current contents of the fuel tank and
the average consumption since the
last reset.
The range will not display if control
indicator Y is illuminated in the
instrument cluster 3 101.

exceeded.Fuel economy rating (ecoScoring)
If equipped, a rating of 0 to 100 is
shown in the Info-Display to help
evaluate fuel efficiency, based on your driving style.
Higher ratings indicate better fuel economy.
Tips to improve fuel economy are also given in the Info-Display. Journeys
can be saved in the system memory,
enabling you to compare
performances. Refer to Infotainment
manual for further information.

122Climate controlSet the fan < to regulate the amount
of cooled air to be flown into the rear
passenger compartment.
Auxiliary heater Coolant heater
The engine-independent, fuel-
powered coolant heater provides
rapid heating of the engine coolant to
enable heating of the vehicle interior
without the engine running.9 Warning
Do not operate the system when
refuelling, when dust or
combustible vapours are present
or in enclosed spaces (e.g.
garage).
Before starting or programming the
system to start, turn the vehicle's
climate control system to heat, set the
air distribution to V and turn the fan
on.
Switch off when not required. Heating stops automatically after the
programmed runtime. It will also
cease to operate if the vehicle fuel
level drops too low.
During operation, power from the
vehicle battery is used. The driving
time should therefore be at least as
long as the heating time. For short
journey times, check the vehicle
battery regularly and recharge if
necessary.
To ensure efficient performance,
briefly operate the auxiliary heater
once a month.
