Variable light distribution enables
even better illumination of the car-

The light distribution is automati-
cally adapted to the speed.
If equipment includes a navigation
system, the light distribution is
automatically adapted depending
on the navigation data and speed.
The illuminated area of the
low-beam headlights is extended at
the sides.
The range of the low-beam head-
lights is increased.
In sharp turns up to a specified
speed, for example in hairpin bends
or when turning off, a cornering
light is added to illuminate the
inside area of the bend.
The cornering light is activated
automatically depending on the
steering angle or use of the turn
indicators.
The cornering light may be acti-
vated automatically when driving in
reverse, irrespective of the steer-
ing angle.
Automatic high-beam detects other
road users in good time and acti-
vates or deactivates the high beam
depending on the traffic situation.
Automatic high-beam ensures that
the high-beam headlights are
switched on when the traffic situa-
tion allows. The high-beam head-
lights are not switched on by the
system in the low speed range.
The system responds to the lights
from oncoming traffic and traffic
driving ahead of you, and to ambi-
ent lighting, for example in built-up
areas.
The high-beam headlights can be
switched on and off manually at any
time.
If the vehicle is equipped with daz-

Keep your distance from the
airbags.
Always grip the steering wheel
on the steering wheel rim. Place
your hands in the 3 o'clock and 9
o'clock positions to minimise the
risk of injury to hands or arms
when the airbag deploys.
Adjust the seat and steering
wheel so the driver can reach
over the steering wheel diago-
nally. Select the settings so that,
when reaching over, the shoul-
ders stay in contact with the
backrest and the upper body
stays as far away from the steer-
ing wheel as possible.
Make sure that the front-seat
passenger is sitting correctly, i.e.
with their feet and legs in the
footwell, not resting on the dash-
board.
Make sure that vehicle occu-
pants keep their head away from
the side airbag.
Do not place any other persons,
pets or objects between the
airbags and occupants.
Keep the dashboard and wind-
screen area on the passenger
side clear, for example do not
attach adhesive foil or covers
and do not fit brackets for navi-
gation devices or mobile tele-
phones.
Do not glue the airbag covers
and do not cover or modify them
in any way.
Do not use the front airbag cover
on the front passenger's side as
a tray.
Do not install seat covers, cush-
ions or other objects on the front
seats if they are not specifically
designed for use on seats with
integral side airbags.
Do not hang items of clothing for
example coats or jackets over
the backrests.
Do not modify individual compo-
nents of the system or its wiring
in any way. This also applies to
the covers of the steering wheel,
the dashboard and seats.
Do not dismantle the airbag sys-

If the seat position is wrong or the
deployment area of the airbag is

may cause additional injuries when it

The airbags are not designed to be
used in place of the seat belts.
The SRS front airbags and SRS
knee airbags are designed to sup-
plement the seat belts, not be used
in place of them, to increase their
effectiveness as an occupant pro-
tection device.
SRS is an acronym for Supplemental
Restraint System
In the event of a collision, the seat
belts restrain the occupants in their
seats, but if the impact of the colli-
sion is especially severe, there is
danger of an occupant’s head and
chest contacting the steering
wheel, dashboard and windshield.
In this case, the SRS front airbags
and SRS knee airbags deploy
(inflate), instantly creating an air
cushion to help reduce the impact
on the occupants and restrain them
from contacting the steering wheel,
etc. with their head, chest and
knees.
The SRS front air bags and SRS
knee airbags deploy only when an
impact exceeding a certain thresh-
old is detected. In a collision, even
if the impact is severe enough to
cause the vehicle body to deform,
the SRS airbags may not deploy if
the impact of the collision is suffi-
ciently dispersed by the crash
structures of the vehicle body. If the
force of the collision does not cause
the airbags to deploy, the seatbelts
will protect the occupants.
When an airbag deploys, as it will
inflate nearly instantly, it may
impact an occupant and cause an
injury, or the loud noise emitted by
ignition or deployment may cause
temporary partial loss of hearing.
Also, as an airbag and nearby parts
will be extremely hot after the
airbag deploys, touching them may
cause burns. For these reasons,
deployment of the airbags is not
entirely risk free. Therefore, in
order to reduce this risk, the
airbags are designed to only deploy
when additional reduction of the
impact applied to the occupants in
a collision is necessary.

WA R N I N G
If you sit with your head too close to
the steering wheel, when the SRS
front airbag deploys, it may apply a very large impact to your body. Sit in
the driver’s seat with the correct pos-
ture and keep an appropriate distance away from the steering wheel.
Do not position the passenger’s seat
too close to the dashboard or rest your feet on the dashboard, as doing
so may lead to a serious injury if the
SRS airbags deploy. Sit in the pas- senger’s seat with the correct posture
and keep an appropriate distance
away from the dashboard.
WA R N I N G
Do not attach anything to or lean any-
thing against areas near the SRS
airbags.
Do not install or attach anything, such
as a sticker to areas such as the
steering wheel pad and near the SRS knee airbags. Also, do not attach any
accessories, such as an air freshener,
to the passenger’s side instrument panel or place anything on the floor in
front of the seat. If anything is
attached to or left in these areas, they may prevent an airbag from deploying
or become a projectile when the
airbags deploy.
