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°.
● Adjust seat and steering wheel in
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 steering wheel 3 89.
● Adjust the head restraint 3 46.
● 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.

Seats, restraints57Seat belts
The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle, holding the occupants in
the seat position. Thereby 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 65.
Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage, soiling and
proper functionality.
Have damaged components replaced by a workshop. 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
Indicates seat belt status for front seats by control indicators X and k,
or for rear seats by the symbol X in
the Driver Information Centre 3 105.
Belt force limiters
Stress on the body is reduced by the
gradual release of the belt during a
collision.Belt pretensioners
In the event of a head-on, rear-end or
side-on collision of a certain severity,
the front and rear outer seat belts are tightened.9 Warning
Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
pretensioners.
Deployment of the belt pretensioners
is indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 106.
Triggered belt pretensioners must be replaced by a workshop. Belt
pretensioners can only be triggered
once.
Note
Do not affix or install accessories or
other objects that may interfere with
the operation of the belt
pretensioners. Do not make any
modifications to belt pretensioner
components as this will invalidate
the operating permit of your vehicle.

72Seats, restraintsPedestrian protection
system
Active bonnet Pedestrian protection system can
help to reduce the injury of
pedestrians in case of a front
collision.
When the sensors in the front bumper
detect a certain impact within the
speed range of 25 km/h to 50 km/h, the rear part of the bonnet will be lifted
to reduce pedestrians head injuries.
In addition the front bumper is
designed to reduce leg injuries of
pedestrians.
The active bonnet can be triggered
only once and remains in the raised
position. A message is displayed in
the Driver Information Centre.
Seek the assistance of a workshop as
soon as possible, thereby adapting
the driving style, to have the
actuators, hinges and bonnet
replaced.9 Warning
Do not drive with the bonnet
raised.
9 Warning
After any frontal accident the front
bumper may appear to be intact,
however, the sensors may be
damaged. Consult a workshop to
verify proper functionality of the
sensors.
The system may not trigger under the following conditions:
● The impact is out of sensor range.
● The sensors are damaged or blocked by accessory parts.
● The bonnet is blocked by snow or
ice.
● The vehicle speed is not within the range.
● The object is too small.
Manually bonnet lowering9 Warning

9 Warning
Be sure to keep away from the
edge of the bonnet to prevent
injuries.
