58Seats, restraintsFront airbag systemThe front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.
Seat position 3 45.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.
Side airbag system
The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG .
The side airbag system is triggered in the event of a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.

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 tables 3 64.
Airbag deactivation 3 59.
Airbag label 3 54.
We recommend a child restraint system which is tailored specifically to the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.
Before fastening a child seat adjust
the head restraint 3 44.
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.
Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.
Child restraint systems can be
fastened with:
● Three-point seat belt
● ISOFIX brackets
● Top-tether
Three-point seat belt
Child restraint systems can be
fastened by using a three-point seat
belt. After fastening the child restraint system the seat belt has to be
tightened 3 64.ISOFIX brackets
Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
brackets. Specific vehicle ISOFIX
child restraint system positions are
marked in the ISOFIX table 3 64.
ISOFIX brackets are indicated by a
label on the backrest.
An i-Size child restraint system is an
universal ISOFIX child restraint
system according UN Regulation No.
129.
All i-Size child restraint systems can be used on any vehicle seat suitable
for i-Size, i-Size table 3 64.
Page 64 of 283

62Seats, restraintsEither a Top-tether strap or a supportleg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX brackets.
i-Size child seats and vehicle seats
with i-Size approval are marked with i-Size symbol, see illustration.
Top-tether anchors
Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.
In addition to the ISOFIX brackets,
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 64.
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 child restraint systems
that comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.The following child restraints are recommended for the following
weight classes:
● Group 0, Group 0+ :
Maxi Cosi Cabriofix with or
without ISOFIX base for children
up to 13 kg
● Group I : Duo Plus with ISOFIX
and Top-tether for children from
9 kg to 18 kg
● Group II, Group III : Kidfix XP with
or without ISOFIX for children
from 15 kg to 36 kg
● Group III : Graco Booster for
children from 22 kg to 36 kg
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.

store small items.
Depending on the version, the
storage compartment is located
under a cover.Load compartment
The rear seat backrest is divided into
2/3 to 1/3 parts. Both parts can be
folded down individually to increase
the size of the load compartment.
Before folding rear seat backrests,
execute the following if necessary:
● Move front seats forward if necessary.
● Remove the load compartment cover.
● Press and hold the catch to push
the head restraints down.

● Pull the release lever on one orboth outer sides and fold down
the backrests onto the seat
cushion.
● Alternatively fold seat backrests from the load compartment: pullswitch on left or right sidewall of
the load compartment to fold the
corresponding part of the rear
seat backrest.9 Warning
Take care when operating the rear
backrests from the load
compartment. The backrest is
folded with considerable power.
Risk of injury, particularly to
children.
Ensure that nothing is attached to
the rear seats or located on the
seat cushion.
● To fold up, raise the backrests and guide them into an upright
position until they engage
audibly.
9 Warning
When folding up, ensure that
backrests are securely locked in
position before driving. Failure to
do so may result in personal injury or damage to the load or vehicle in the event of hard braking or a
collision.

The rear floor cover can be lifted and
removed. Raise cover at the loop and remove.
To hold the load compartment cover
in an upright positon, lift it up past the
retractable stops.
Double load floor
The double load floor can be inserted
in the load compartment in two
positions:
● lower position above the spare wheel well cover
● upper position interlocked with the grab handle into back panel
trim
To remove, press the handle to
unlock the load floor and lift it up while
using the handle.
If mounted in the upper position, the
space between the load floor and the spare wheel well cover can be used
as a storage compartment.
In this position, if the rear seat
backrests are folded forwards, an
almost completely flat load bay is
created.
In the upper position, the double load
floor is able to withstand a maximum
load of 100 kg. In the lower position,
the double load floor is able to
withstand the maximum load of
150 kg.
