40 Seats, InteriorzSit with your shoulders as far back
against the backrest as possible. Set the
backrest rake so that you can easily
reach the steering wheel with your arms
slightly bent. Maintain contact between
your 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.
zAdjust the steering wheel 36.
zSet seat height 3 high enough to have a
clear field of vision on all sides and of all
display instruments. There should be at
least six inches of clearance between
your head and the headlining. Your
thighs should rest lightly on the seat
without pressing into it.
zAdjust the head restraint.
zAdjust the height of the seat belt 352.

are unoccupied or to fold down a rear seat
or the front passenger seat, push the head
restraint all the way down or remove.
If the rear seats are occupied, adjust the
rear head restraints to the appropriate
level for the occupant’s body size.

50 Seats, InteriorBelt tensioners In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front seat
belts are pulled down at the buckles and
thereby tightened.
Picture no: 11594s.tif
Actuation of belt tensioners
is indicated by illumination of control
indicator v; see next column.
Triggered belt tensioners must be replaced
by a workshop. Belt tensioners can only be
triggered once.
Picture no: 11702s.tif
Control indicator v for belt tensioners
The functionality of the belt tensioner
system is monitored electronically together
with the airbag systems and indicated via
control indicator v. When the ignition is
switched on, the control indicator comes on
for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not come
on, does not go out after 4 seconds or
comes on while driving, there is a fault in
the belt tensioner system or the airbag
systems 359. The systems may fail to
deploy in the event of an accident.
Triggered belt tensioners are indicated by
steady illumination of v.

Airbag system Front airbag
The front airbag system consists of one
airbag in the steering wheel and one in the
instrument panel. These can be identified
by the word AIRBAG.
The front airbag system comprises:
zan airbag with inflator in the steering
wheel and a second one in the
instrument panel 3,
zthe control electronics with impact
sensor,
zthe control indicator for airbag
systemsv in the instrument,
Picture no: 11734s.tif
The front airbag system will be triggered:
zdepending on the severity of the
accident,
zdepending on the type of impact,
zwithin the range shown in the illustration,
zindependently of the side airbag
system3.
The ignition must be switched on. Examples of events triggering the front
airbag system:
zImpact against a non-yielding obstacle:
the front airbags are triggered at low
vehicle speed.
zImpact against a yielding obstacle:
(such as another vehicle): the front
airbags are only triggered at a higher
vehicle speed.

57
Seats, Interior
Picture no: 11600s.tif
When triggered, the front airbags inflate in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the driver and front passenger. The
forward movement of the front seat
occupants is checked, thereby
substantially reducing the risk of injury to
the upper body and head.
No impairment of view will occur, because
the airbags inflate and deflate so quickly
that it is often not even noticed in an
accident.
Picture no: 18530s.tif Picture no: 18531s.tif
The front airbag system will not be
triggered in the event of
zthe ignition is switched off,
zminor frontal collisions,
zaccidents in which the vehicle overturns,
zcollisions involving a side or rear impact,
that is to say, if it would not be of benefit to
the occupants.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only provided
with the seat in the proper position 339.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Wear the three-point seat belt properly
fastened. The front airbag system is an
additional safety device, not a
replacement for your seat belt.

58 Seats, Interior
Picture no: 11601s.tif
Side airbag 3
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 comprises:
zan airbag with inflator in the back of the
driver’s and front passenger seat
respectively,
zthe control electronics,
zthe side impact sensors,
zthe control indicator for airbag
systemsv in the instrument.
Picture no: 13195s.tif
The side airbag system will be triggered:
zdepending on the severity of the
accident,
zdepending on the type of impact,
zwithin the range shown in the illustration
on the centre door pillar of the driver’s or
front passenger side,
zindependently of the front airbag
system.
The ignition must be switched on.
Picture no: 11602s.tif
When triggered, the side airbag inflates in
milliseconds to form a safety cushion for
the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
in the event of a side-on collision.

59
Seats, Interior
The side airbags will not be triggered in the
event of
zthe ignition is switched off,
zfrontal collisions,
zaccidents in which the vehicle overturns,
zcollisions involving a rear impact,
zcollisions involving a side impact outside
the passenger cell.
Picture no: 11702s.tif
Control indicator v for airbag systems
The functionality of the airbag systems is
monitored electronically together with the
belt tensioner system and indicated via
control indicator v. When the ignition is
switched on, the control indicator comes on
for approx. 4 seconds. If it does not come
on, does not go out after 4 seconds, or it
comes on while driving, there is a fault in
the airbag tensioner system or in the belt
tensioner systems 350. The systems may
fail to deploy in the event of an accident.
Triggered airbag systems are indicated by
steady illumination of v. The system’s integrated self-diagnostics
allows faults to be quickly remedied.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
9 Warning
Have cause of fault remedied
immediately by a workshop.
