This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
An ideal seating position that
meets the needs of the occu-
pants can make a vital contribu-
tion to relaxed, fatigue-free
driving.
In the event of an accident, the
correct seating position plays an
important role. Follow the infor-
mation in the following chapters:
• Seats, refer to page 99.
• Safety belts, refer to page 103.
• Head restraints, refer to page 108.
• Airbags, refer to page 164.

Safety information
WARNING
Seat adjustments while driving
can lead to unexpected move-
ments of the seat. Vehicle control
could be lost. There is a risk of an
accident. Only adjust the seat on
the driver's side when the vehicle
is stationary.
WARNING
With a backrest inclined too far to
the rear, the efficacy of the safety
belt can no longer be ensured.
There is a risk of sliding under the
safety belt in an accident. There is
a risk of injuries or danger to life.
Adjust the seat prior to starting the
trip. Adjust the backrest so that it
is in the most upright position as
possible and do not adjust again
while driving.
WARNING
There is a risk of jamming when
moving the seats. There is a risk
of injury or risk of damage to prop-
erty. Make sure that the area of
movement of the seat is clear
prior to any adjustment.

WARNING
Do not recline the seatback
excessively while driving.
To reduce the risk of sliding under
the lap belt during a collision, do
not recline the seat more than
necessary. If the seat is too
reclined, the lap belt may slide
past the hips and apply restraint
forces directly to the abdomen, or
your neck may contact the shoul-
der belt, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury in the
event of an accident. Adjustments
should not be made while driving
as the seat may unexpectedly
move and cause the driver to lose
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Make sure that all passengers
wear their seat belt correctly.
Use of seat belts may be manda-
tory under local laws and regula-
tions. If a seat belt is not worn
properly, an occupant may con-
tact interior parts or be thrown
from the vehicle in the case of
sudden braking or a collision, pos-
sibly resulting in death or serious
injury. Also, if an occupant has an
incorrect riding posture, the air-
bags will be ineffectual as occu-
pant protection devices and may
actually cause injuries when they
deploy.

Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment and country-specific ver-
sion, the vehicle features a
variety of sensors for assessing
the traffic situation. The Auto
Start/Stop function uses this
information to adapt to various
traffic situations in a proactive
manner.
For instance, this applies to the
following situations:
 If a situation is detected in
which the stopping time is
expected to be very short, the
engine is not switched off
automatically. A message
appears on the Control Dis-
play, depending on the situa-
tion.
 If a situation is detected in
which the vehicle needs to
drive off immediately, the
engine is started automati- cally.
The function may be restricted if
the navigation data is invalid,
outdated or not available, for
example.
