that such devices are securely stowed while
you are driving.
- No Wi-Fi devices may be used from the front
seats in the areas around the airbags while
the vehicLe is being driven. Please also ob­
serve the safety warnings in the chapter on

<3>page
282, Front airbags.
- Do not allow the features of the Wi-Fi hot-
spot to distract you from watching the traf­
fic - taking your eyes off the road can cause

For detailed information on how to adjust the
front passenger's seat, see
^page
58, Front
seats.
A WARNING
A passenger who is not sitting in the correct
position or who is not wearing a seat belt can
be fatally injured if the airbag is triggered.
- Adjust the front passenger's seat so there is
a distance of at least 25 cm between your
breastbone and the dash panel.
- Always keep your feet on the floor when the
vehicle is moving; never rest them on the in­
strument panel, out of the window or on the
seat. If
you
sit in an incorrect position, you
increase your risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking or an accident. If the airbag
is triggered, you could sustain potentially
fatal injuries by sitting out of position.
- To reduce the risk of injury to the front pas­
senger in the case of sudden braking or an
accident, the passenger should never travel
in a moving vehicle with the backrest re­

clined.
The airbag system and seat belt can
only provide proper protection when the
backrest is in an upright position and the
passenger is wearing the seat belt in the
correct position. The further the backrest is
tilted back, the greater the risk of injury due
to incorrect positioning of the belt webbing

or
an incorrect sitting position.
- Always adjust the head restraints properly
for maximum protection.
Correct position for rear passengers
Rear seat passengers should sit upright with
both feet on the floor and wear their seat belts
properly whenever the vehicle is moving.
To reduce any risk of injury in the event of sudden
braking or an accident, passengers in the rear
seats must observe the following:

•
Before carrying passengers on the rear seats,

puLl
the head restraints on the occupied seats
all the way up
^>page
59.
• Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the
rear seat.

•
Fasten your seat belt correctly
^page
278.

•
Use appropriate child restraint systems for
chil­

dren travelling in the vehicle
^>page
267.

/K
WARNING
Rear passengers sitting out of position can
suffer severe injuries.
- Always adjust the head restraints to the
fully raised position for maximum protec­

tion.

- Seat belts only offer maximum protection
when the backrest is in an upright position
and the passengers are wearing the seat
belts properly. By not sitting upright, rear
passengers increase the risk of injury due to
incorrect positioning of the seat belt web­

bing.

Correct adjustment of head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an
impor­

tant part of the vehicle's occupant protection
system.
They
can help to reduce the risk of inju­
ries in most accident situations.

Safe driving
A WARNING
To avoid serious or fatal injury, children trav­
elling in the vehicle must always be protected
with child restraint systems appropriate to
their height, weight and age.
- Children under 1.50 m tall or younger than
12 must not travel in the vehicLe if there are
no suitable child seats. Please observe any
other applicable regulations in the country
in which you are travelling.
- Babies and children must never travel on an­
other occupant's lap.
- Never allow more than one child to occupy
one child seat.
- Never leave a child without supervision in a
child seat.
- Never allow a child to travel unrestrained or
to stand up or kneel on a seat while the car
is moving. In an accident, the child could be
catapulted through the car, causing possibly
fatal injuries to itself and other occupants.
- To ensure proper protection by the child re­
straint, it is important to wear the seat belts
in the correct position
^>page
277. Always
check that the belt is properly positioned ac­
cording to the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the child seat. Incorrectly
worn seat belts can give rise to injuries even
in a minor collision.
- If children are out of position when the car
is moving, they are at greater risk of injury
during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an
accident. This is particularly the case if the
child is travelling on the front passenger's
seat and the airbag system is triggered in an
accident. This incorrect sitting position can
result in serious or even fatal injury.
- Make sure there is sufficient clearance in
front of the child sitting in the child seat. If
necessary, adjust the seat position and
backrest angle of the seat in front of the
child seat.
- If
you
are using a child seat on the front
passenger seat in which the child faces the
direction of
travel,
you should move the
front passenger seat as far back as possible.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­

ployed.

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­

tive.
If
you
have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no Longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Always replace the child seat with a new one
after an accident as damage not externally
visible may have occurred.
Child seat categories
Only
use
child restraint systems that are official­
ly approved and suitable for the child.

Airbag system
Important safety notes on the front airbag
system
There are a number of safety points concerning
the airbag system which you should remember.
This will help to reduce the risk of injury in an ac­
cident.

25cm

Fig.
231 Minimum distance from steering wheel
A WARNING
- It is important for the driver and front pas­
senger to maintain a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel or dash­
board
oFig.
231. The airbag system will not
be able to give the required protection if you
sit too close to the steering wheel or dash­

board.
There is also a risk of injury if the air-
bags are inflated. The front seats and head
restraints must always be positioned cor­
rectly for the height of the occupant.
- If you do not wear a seat belt, if you lean
forward or to the side, or are not seated cor­
rectly while the vehicle is in motion, you are
at greater risk of injury. Should the airbag
system be triggered in an accident there is
an even greater risk of injury.
- Never let a child travel on the front seat
without an appropriate restraint system. If
the airbag is triggered in an accident, the
child could sustain serious or fatal injuries

^>page
267, Child seats.
- Child seats in which the child faces the rear
of the car are located directly in the path of
the front passenger's airbag if it inflates. In
this case, the child could sustain serious or
fatal injuries if the airbag were to be de­

ployed.

- Applies to vehicles on which the front pas­
senger's airbag cannot be deactivated: Do
NOT use a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat.
- Applies to vehicles with key-operated
switch for deactivating the front passeng­
er's airbag: Do NOT use a rearward-facing
child seat on the front passenger's seat
while the front passenger's airbag is ac­

tive.
If you have no alternative but to use a
rearward-facing child seat on the front
passenger's seat, the front passenger's
airbag must be deactivated beforehand via
the key-operated switch*
^>page
288.
Make sure that the front passenger's air-
bag is reactivated by means of the key-op­
erated switch* as soon as the child seat is
no longer needed on the front passenger's
seat.
- Occupants sitting in the front of the car
must never carry any objects or pets in the
space between them and the airbags, or al­
low children or other passengers to travel in
this position.
- Do not cover or stick anything on the steer­
ing wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit on the passenger's side of
the dashboard, and do not obstruct or modi­
fy them in any way. These parts should only
be cleaned with a dry cloth (or with a cloth
moistened with plain water). It is also im­
portant not to attach any objects such as
cup holders or telephone mountings to the
surfaces covering the airbag units.
- Any work on the airbag system or removal
and installation of the airbag components
for other repairs (such as repairs to the
steering wheel or removal of seats) must be
performed by a qualified workshop.
