vehicle.Note
The immobiliser does not lock the doors. Always lock the vehicle after
leaving it 3 26 and switch on the anti-
theft alarm system 3 38.Exterior mirrors
Convex shape The convex exterior mirror contains
an aspherical area and reduces blind spots. The shape of the mirror makes
objects appear smaller, which will
affect the ability to estimate
distances.
Manual adjustment
Adjust mirrors by swivelling in
required direction.
The lower mirrors are not adjustable.

Seats, restraints573. Lift the seat from the rear.
4. Pull the seat towards the centre of
the vehicle to release the seat
completely from its anchor points.Installation
Note
Make sure that the anchor points are
clean before installing the seat. They should be free from grit or any other
item which may prevent the seat
from locking securely.
1. Position the seat over the anchor points.
2. Lower the seat until it audibly engages in the anchor points.
3. Ensure the seat is locked securely
in position by trying to move the
seat back and forth and from left
to right.
Repeat installation procedure if
necessary.
Consult a workshop if the seat cannot
be locked securely in position.Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Therefore, the risk of injury is considerably reduced.
9 Warning
Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people
not wearing seat belts endanger their fellow occupants and
themselves.
Seat belts are designed to be used by only one person at a time.
Child restraint system 3 67.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage and proper
functionality.
Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt pretensioners replaced by a workshop.
Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.
Seat belt reminder
Depending on version, both front
seats may be equipped with a seat
belt reminder, indicated by control
indicator X in the instrument panel
3 97, 3 100.
Belt force limiters
On the front seats, stress on the body is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.

68Seats, restraintsISOFIX child restraint systems
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets.
When using ISOFIX mounting
brackets for seat mounting,
universally approved child restraint
systems for ISOFIX may be used.
A Top-Tether strap must be used in
addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets.
Permissible mounting location
positions for ISOFIX child restraint
systems are marked in the tables by
< , IL and IUF.
Top-Tether anchors
Top-Tether anchors are located on
the back of the seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX mounting,
fasten the Top-Tether strap to the
Top-Tether anchors.
ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 70.
Selecting the right system The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.
Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event of an accident.
Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.
Ensure that the child restraint system to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.
Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.
Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.
When the child restraint system is not in use, secure the seat with a seat beltor remove it from the vehicle.

86Storageluggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).
Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.
● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.
Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.
● The permissible roof load (which includes the weight of the roof
rack) is 200 kg for standard roof
variants. The roof load is the combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
