in the vehicle" ( Y page 60) in addition to
the child restraint system manufacturer's
installation and operating instructions.
Objects in the vehicle interior may restrict
the air bag from functioning correctly. To
avoid risks resulting from the speed of the air
bag as it deploys, vehicle occupants must
ensure the following points.
Before commencing your journey, ensure that:
R there are no people, animals or objects
between the vehicle occupants and an air
bag
R there are no objects between the seat, door
and B-pillar
R there are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers,
hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks
R no accessories, such as cup holders, are
attached to the vehicle within the deploy-
ment area of an air bag, e.g. to doors or side
windows
R no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects are
in the pockets of your clothing. Store such
objects in a suitable place G
WARNING
If you modify the cover of an air bag or affix
objects such as stickers to it, the air bag
can no longer perform its intended function.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Never modify the cover of an air bag or affix
objects to it.
Vehicles with window curtain air bags for
all seat rows: G
WARNING
Sensors to control the air bags are located
in the doors. Modifications or work not per-
formed correctly to the doors or door panel-
ing, as well as damaged doors, can lead to
the function of the sensors being impaired.
The air bags might therefore not function
properly anymore. Consequently, the air
bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as
they are designed to do. There is an
increased risk of injury.
Never modify the doors or parts of the
doors. Always have work on the doors or door paneling carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Front air bags !
Do not place heavy objects on the front-
passenger seat. This could cause the sys-
tem to identify the seat as being occupied.
In the event of an accident, the restraint
systems on the front-passenger side may be
triggered and have to be replaced. The driver's air bag
: deploys in front of the
steering wheel. The co-driver's air bag ;
deploys in front of and above the glove box
and center console.
When deployed, the front air bags offer addi-
tional head and thorax protection on the front
seats.
The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
informs you about the status of the co-driver's
air bag

(Y page 47).
The co-driver's air bag will deploy only if:
R the Occupant Classification System (OCS)
has detected that the co-driver's seat is
occupied ( Y page 54). The PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is not lit
( Y page 54)
R the restraint system control unit predicts a
high accident severity
Side impact air bags G
WARNING
Unsuitable seat covers can obstruct or pre-
vent deployment of the air bags integrated
into the seats. Consequently, the air bags
cannot protect vehicle occupants as they
are designed to do. In addition, the opera- 52

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.

WARNING
If you transport objects in the vehicle inte-
rior and these are not adequately secured,
they could slip or be flung around and
thereby strike vehicle occupants. In addi-
tion, cup holders, open stowage spaces and
mobile phone brackets may not always be
able to hold the objects placed in them in
the event of an accident. There is a risk of
injury, particularly in the event of sharp
braking or sudden changes of direction.
R Always stow objects in such a way that
they cannot be tossed about in these or
similar situations.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude out of the stowage spaces, luggage
nets or stowage nets.
R Ensure that closable stowage spaces are
shut before beginning your journey.
R Always stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or large objects
in the cargo compartment.
