Seats, restraints71Pedestrian 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 15 mph to 31 mph, 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
After the system has triggered, the
hinges of the bonnet are hot. Do
not touch.
To manually lower the triggered
bonnet for driving to the next
workshop:
1. Pull the bonnet release lever.
2. Push the safety catch to left vehicle side.
3. Open the bonnet approx. 20 cm and lower it slowly without
engaging.
4. Push down bonnet with both hands at rear corners in small
steps alternating between right
and left side.
9 Warning
Be sure to keep away from the
edge of the bonnet to prevent
injuries.

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 seat belt of the centre seat could
be blocked when the backrest is
folded up too quickly. To unlock the
retractor, push in the seat belt or pull

Storage77● Pull the release lever on one orboth outer sides and fold down
the backrests onto the seat
cushion.9 Warning
Take care when folding down the
right outer seat backrest if the
centre seat backrest is already
folded down. Risk of injury due to bolt protruding from the inner side
of the backrest.
● 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 force.
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. Make sure that the belts
are positioned correctly and stay
clear of the folding area.
The backrests are properly
engaged when the red mark on
the release levers on both sides
are no longer visible.
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.

86Storage● Do not allow the load to protrudeabove the upper edge of the
backrests.
● Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or theinstrument panel, and do notcover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.
● The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector, or
hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.
● Do not drive with an open load compartment.9Warning
Always ensure that the load in the
vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or vehicle.
● The payload is the difference between the permitted grossvehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 279) and the EC kerb
weight.
To calculate the payload, enter the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.
The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (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 75 mph.
The permissible roof load is
100 kg. The roof load is thecombined weight of the roof rack and the load.
