Front airbags
Fig. 44 Location and deployment zone of the driver front airbag.
Fig. 45 Location and deployment zone of the front passenger front airbag.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
In conjunction with the seat belts, the front airbag system gives the front occupants additional
protection for the head and chest in the event of a severe frontal collision. Always keep as far away
from the front airbag as possible ⇒ Sitting position. This allows the front airbags to inflate fully
when triggered, thus providing maximum protection.
The front airbag for the driver is located in the steering wheel ⇒ Fig. 44 and the front airbag for the
front passenger is located in the dash panel ⇒ Fig. 45. The airbag locations are identified by the
text AIRBAG.
The areas inside the red lines are covered by the front airbags when deployed (deployment zoneyf
You must never leave or attach any objects in these areas ⇒. Any factory-fitted accessories will
not be struck if the driver and front passenger front airbags are deployed.
Once triggered, the airbag inflates at high speed.
•Always leave the deployment zones of the front airbags clear.
•Never attach any objects, such as drink or telephone holders, to the covers of the
airbag modules or anywhere in the airbag module deployment zone.
•No other people, animals or objects may be carried between the occupants of the front
seats and the airbag deployment zone. Ensure that children and passengers keep to
this rule.
•Do not attach any objects, e.g. mobile navigation devices, to the windscreen above the
front airbag on the front passenger side.
•Do not cover or stick anything on the steering wheel hub or the soft plastic surface of
the airbag unit in the dash panel on the front passenger side, and do not modify them
in any way.
DANGER
The front airbags are deployed in front of the steering wheel ⇒ Fig. 44 and dash panel
⇒ Fig. 45.
•When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions.
•Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the
hub of the steering wheel. Contact a qualified workshop if your physical build makes
this impracticable.
•Adjust the front passenger seat so that the distance between the passenger and the
dash panel is as large as possible.
WARNING

In vehicles with a corresponding equipment level, main-beam control can be activated and
deactivated in the Infotainment system in the Vehicle settings menu ⇒ Operation and 
display in the Infotainment system:
Switching on main beam control
•Switch on the ignition and turn the light switch to position .
•Tap the turn signal and main beam lever forwards out of the basic position.
When the main-beam control is switched on, the indicator lamp is shown on the instrument
cluster display.
Switching off main beam control
•Pull back the turn signal and main beam lever.
•OR: turn the light switch to a position that is not .
•OR: switch off the ignition.
•OR: push the turn signal and main beam lever forwards to switch on the manual main beam.
Advanced main-beam control (Dynamic Light Assistyf
Advanced main-beam control provides maximum illumination for the road and the surrounding area.
At the same time, it prevents vehicles in front or oncoming vehicles from being dazzled. The system
uses a camera to detect other road users and their distance from your vehicle and covers part of
the headlights appropriately. If the system can no longer prevent other road users from being
dazzled, the main beams are switched off automatically.
System limits
The main beam must be switched off manually under the following conditions because it is not
switched off in time or not switched off at all by the main beam control:
•In poorly lit streets where there are highly-reflective signs.
•Other road users with insufficient lighting facilities, such as pedestrians, cyclists.
•In tight bends, brows of hills or depressions in the land or half-hidden oncoming traffic.
•With oncoming traffic on streets with a central barrier where the driver can see clearly over the
central barrier e.g. truck drivers.
•In fog, snow or heavy rain.
•In dusty or sandy areas.
•Damage to the windscreen in the camera's vision field.
•If the viewing field of the camera is misted up, dirty, covered by a sticker, snow or ice.
•If the camera is broken or the power supply is interrupted.
Light-emitting objects in the camera's field of operation, e.g. mobile navigation devices, could
impair the functions of the main-beam control system (Light Assistyf.
Parking light
Switching the parking lights on and off
Do not let the extra convenience afforded by main beam control tempt you into taking any
risks when driving – this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always check the lights yourself and adjust them to the prevailing conditions for lights,
vision and road traffic.
•The main beam control may not be able to recognise all driving situations correctly and
may not work properly in certain situations.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the main
beam control may be impaired. This also applies if changes are made to the vehicle's
lighting system, for example if additional headlights are fitted.
WARNING
Please observe the following points in order to avoid impairing the proper function of the
system:
•Regularly clean the camera's field of view, and keep it free from snow and ice.
•Do not cover the camera's field of view.
•Regularly check the area of the windscreen that is in the camera's field of view for
damage.

Fig. 105 On the windscreen: manual anti-dazzle interior mirror.
First read and observe the introductoryinformation and safety warnings⇒
Introduction
Automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror
When the ignition is turned on, the sensors measure the incident light from the rear ⇒ Fig. 104①
and from the front ②.
The interior mirror darkens automatically depending on the measured values.
If the incident light on the sensors is hindered or interrupted, e.g. by a sun blind or other hanging
objects, the automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror will not function or will not function correctly. Mobile
navigation devices attached to the windscreen or near the interior automatic anti-dazzle mirror can
also influence the sensors ⇒.
The automatic anti-dazzle function will be deactivated in some situations, e.g. when reverse gear is
engaged.
Automatic anti-dazzle mirrors contain an electrolyte fluid which could leak if the mirror is
broken.
•The leaking electrolyte fluid can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory
organs, especially in people who suffer from asthma or similar illnesses. Immediately
ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air and get out of the vehicle. If this is
not possible, open all of the windows and doors.
•If the electrolyte fluid gets into the eyes or onto the skin, immediately wash the area
with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and consult a doctor.
•If the electrolyte fluid gets onto shoes or clothing, wash immediately with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes. Clean shoes and clothes thoroughly before wearing them
again.
•If the electrolyte fluid is swallowed, immediately rinse the mouth with plenty of water
for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by a doctor.
Seek medical assistance immediately.
WARNING
If the glass of an automatic anti-dazzle mirror is broken, electrolyte fluid can leak from the
mirror. This fluid corrodes plastic surfaces. Remove the fluid as soon as possible, e.g.
using a wet sponge.
