possible and
- the front passenger's seat as far upwards as
possible.
_& WARNING
- Note the important safety notes¢.&. in
Safety notes for using child seats on
page 196, ¢ .&. in Child seat categories on
page 197 and the instructions provided by
the child seat manufacturer.
- Never install a rearward-facing child seat on
the front passenger's seat unless the front
passenger's airbag has been deactivated -
this can result in potentially fatal injuries to
the child.
200 Pedal
area
Pedals
The pedals must always be free to move and
must never be obstructed by floor mats or any
objects in the footwell.
... Make sure that none of the pedals is obstructed
and all of the pedals can be pressed all the way
down to the floor.
... Make sure that all pedals are able to return
freely to their original positions.
Only use floor mats which leave the pedal area
free and can be securely fastened in the footwell.
If one of the brake circuits should fail, increased
brake pedal travel will be required to bring the
vehicle safely to a stop.
_& WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause loss of vehicle control and critical situa
tions in traffic.
- Never place objects in the driver's footwell.
Such objects could move under the pedals
and interfere with their proper function. In
the event of sudden braking or a change of
direction, you would not be able to use the
pedals. This could result in a loss of control
and possibly cause an accident.
Floor mats on the driver's side
Use only floor mats which can be securely fas
tened in the footwell and do not obstruct the
pedals.
... Make sure that floor mats are securely fastened
and cannot interfere with the pedals ¢.&_ .
Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area un
obstructed and are firmly secured to prevent
them from slipping. You can obtain suitable floor
mats from your dealer or a specialist retailer.
_& WARNING
Any obstructions that restrict pedal travel can
cause loss of vehicle control and increase the
risk of serious personal injury.

Stowing luggage safely
Luggage compartment
Fig. 179 Heavy items should be placed as far forwards as
possible.
All luggage and other objects must be safely se
cured in the luggage compartment. To maintain
safe handling on the road, please observe the fol
lowing points:
� Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com
partment.
� Place heavy items as far forward as possible in
the luggage compartment and secure them
properly ¢Fig. 179.
� Secure the load with the luggage net* or with
non-elastic straps secured to the fastening
rings*¢ page 202.
A WARNING
- Loose items in the luggage compartment
are a safety hazard: they can move suddenly
and impair the handling of the vehicle as a
result of the change in weight distribution.
- In an accident or a sudden manoeuvre, loose
objects in the passenger compartment can
be flung forward -risk of injury! Always
stow objects safely in the luggage compart
ment and secure them on the fastening Safe
driving
rings*. Use suitable securing straps, particu
larly when transporting heavy objects.
- Transporting heavy objects may affect the
vehicle's handling by shifting the centre of
gravity -this could cause an accident. Take
extra care when driving and adjust your
speed accordingly.
- Never exceed the maximum axle loads or
the maximum gross weight for the vehicle
¢ page 257. Exceeding the permitted axle
loads or gross weight limit can affect the ve
hicle's handling characteristics, and increase
the risk of accidents, personal injuries or
damage to the vehicle.
- Never leave your vehicle unattended when
the boot lid is open. Children could climb in
to the boot and close the boot lid from the
inside. In this case the child would be un
able to get out of the vehicle without help.
This could have fatal consequences.
- Never allow children to play in or around the
vehicle. Always close and lock the boot lid
and all the doors when you leave the vehi
cle.
- Never let passengers ride in the luggage
compartment. All occupants must be prop
erly restrained by the seat belts at all times
¢page 204.
CD CAUTION
Make sure that no hard objects chafe against
the wires of the heating element in the rear
window and damage them.
(D} Note
- Adjust the tyre pressure to match the vehi
cle loading -the correct pressures are speci
fied on the sticker on the end face of the
driver's door.
- Air circulation in the vehicle helps reduce
fogging of the windows. Used air escapes
through ventilation slots in the rear of the
vehicle. Make sure that these ventilation
slots are not obstructed.
- Suitable belts for securing loads to the fas
tening rings* are commercially available.

Fastening rings
Unsecured loads are a hazard to all vehicle occu
pants.
Fig. 180 Location of fastening rings in luggage compart
ment
.,. Use the fastening rings to secure items safely in
the luggage compartment ¢ A in Luggage
compartment on page 201.
During a collision or an accident, even small and
light objects can possess so much energy that
they can cause very severe injuries. The amount
of this "kinetic energy" depends on the speed of
the vehicle and the weight of the object. The
most significant factor, however, is the speed of
the vehicle.
For example: an object weighing 4.5 kg is lying
unsecured in the vehicle. During a frontal colli
sion at a speed of SO km/h, this object generates
a force corresponding to 20 times its weight.
That means that the effective weight of the ob
ject increases to about 90 kg. You can imagine
the severity of the injuries which might be sus
tained if this "projectile" strikes an occupant as it
flies through the passenger compartment.
A WARNING
If items of luggage or other objects are se
cured to the fastening rings with inappropri
ate or damaged tensioning straps, injuries
could result in the event of sudden braking or
a collision.
- To prevent pieces of luggage or other ob
jects from flying forward, always use appro
priate tensioning straps which are properly
secured to the fastening rings.
202 -
Never secure a child seat on the fastening
rings.
Pedestrian protection
system
Description
Applies to vehicles: with pedestrian protection system
The pedestrian protection system will automati
cally be activated when the front of the vehicle
collides with a pedestrian. The bonnet is raised
several centimetres to create an additional crush
zone above the engine.
The sensors of the pedestrian protection system
are located in the front bumper. In rare cases, the
system can be triggered because the possibility
that a pedestrian has been hit cannot be ruled
out by the sensors, for example:
- in a coll ision with a street post,
- in a collision with an animal, or
- if you drive into a pile of snow, or
- in the event of ground contact, e.g. when driv-
ing on extremely poor road surfaces.
If the system has been activated, press the bon
net back into its original position¢&. in Servic
ing the pedestrian protection system on
page 203 and have the system serviced by a
qualified workshop.
.&_ WARNING
- Never change or replace the bumper or bon
net as a part of tuning measures. This can
impair the effectiveness of the pedestrian
protection system and invalidate the operat
ing permit for your vehicle. The manufactur
er cannot be held liable for damage which
occurs as a result of failure to comply with
these stipulations, and such damage is not
covered under warranty.
- False activation of the pedestrian protection
system is possible.

Seat belts
Why is it so important to
use seat belts?
Seat belts provide effective protection
The common belief that passengers can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
is false.
Fig. 183 Driver with properly positioned seat belt -good
protection if the brakes are applied suddenly
It is an established fact that seat belts provide
good protection in accidents. Therefore wearing a
seat belt is required by law in most countries.
Properly worn seat belts hold the occupants in
the best position for maximum protection
¢ Fig. 183. The seat belts are capable of absorb
ing much of the kinetic energy arising in a colli
sion. Also they help to prevent uncontrolled
movements which could lead to severe injuries
¢ page 204, Important safety notes when using
seat belts.
If they wear the seat belts correctly, the passen
gers benefit greatly from the ability of the belts
to reduce the kinetic energy gradually. The front
crumple zones and other passive safety features
(such as the airbag system) are also designed to
absorb the kinetic energy generated in a collision.
Taken together, all these features reduce the
forces acting on the occupants and consequently
the risk of injury.
Although these examples are based on a frontal
collision, the physical principles involved are the
same in other types of accidents. This is why it is
so import ant to put on the seat belts before ev
ery trip -even when "just driving around the cor-
204 ner".
Ensure that your passengers wear their seat
belts as well ¢ ,&.
Properly worn seat belts have been shown to be
an effective means of reducing the potential for
injury and improving the chances of survival in a
serious accident ¢ page 205, Forces acting in a
collision.
For information on how children can travel safely
in the car refer to¢ page 195, Child seats .
.lD.. WARNING
- Seat belts must be put on before every trip -
even when driving in town. This also applies
to the rear passengers -risk of injury!
- During pregnancy, women should always en
sure they wear a seat belt. The best way to
protect the unborn child is to protect the
mother ¢ page 207, Wearing and adjust
ing the seat belts during pregnancy.
Important safety notes when using seat
belts
There are a number of safety points concerning
the seat belts which you should remember. This
will help to reduce the risk of injury in an acci
dent.
.lD.. WARNING
- The seat belts can only provide maximum
protection if the seats are adjusted properly
¢page 46, Seats and storage.
- To ensure proper protection, it is important
to wear the seat belts in the correct position
¢ page 206, How to wear seat belts prop
erly. Ensure that the seat belts are worn ex
actly as recommended in this chapter. Belts
which are not worn properly can increase
the risk of injury in accidents considerably.
- Do not allow the seat belt to become twis
ted or jammed, or to rub on any sharp
edges.
- Never allow two passengers (even children)
to share the same seat belt. It is especially
dangerous to place a seat belt over a child
sitting on your lap.

.... -
Do not wear the belt over hard or fragile ob
jects (such as glasses or pens, etc.) because
this can cause injuries.
- Loose, bulky clothing (such as an overcoat
over a jacket) impairs the proper fit and
function of the belts.
- The belts must be kept clean, otherwise the
retractors may not work properly
¢ tab. Cleaning the interior on page 238.
- The slot in the seat belt buckle must not be
blocked with paper or other objects, as this
can prevent the latch plate from engaging
properly.
- The latch plate of the belt must always be
engaged in the correct buckle for that seat,
otherwise the belt will not be fully effective.
- Check the condition of the seat belts at reg
ular intervals. If you notice that the belt
webbing, fittings, retractor mechanism or
buckle of any of the belts is damaged, the
belt must be replaced by a qualified work
shop.
- The seat belts must not be removed or
modified in any way. Do not attempt to re
pair a damaged belt yourself.
- Seat belts which have been worn in an acci
dent and stretched must be replaced by a
qualified workshop. The belt anchorages
should also be checked. Seat

Forces acting in a
collision
The physical principles involved in a frontal
impact
Very large forces are generated during a colli
sion; these forces have to be absorbed.
Fig. 184 Passengers of a vehicle which is headed for a
brick wall. They are not using seat belts.
Fig. 185 The vehicle crashes against the wall
The phys ical principles involved in a frontal colli
sion are relatively simple:
Both the moving vehicle and the passengers pos
sess energy, which is known as "kinetic energy"
¢ Fig. 184. The amount of "kinetic energy" de
pends on the speed of the vehicle and the weight
of the vehicle and passengers. The higher the
speed and the greater the weight, the more ener
gy there is to be absorbed in an accident.
The most significant factor, however, is the speed
of the vehicle. If the speed doubles from 25 km/
h to 50 km/h, for example, the kinetic energy in
creases by a factor of four. Because these passen
gers are not restrained by seat belts, the entire
amount of kinetic energy has to be absorbed at
the point of impact ¢ Fig. 185. This would result
in serious or potentially fatal injury.
..,.

belts
Even at urban speeds of 30 km/h to 50 km/h, the
forces acting on the occupants in a collision can
reach the equivalent of 1 ton (1000 kg) or more.
At greater speed these forces are even higher.
Again: if the speed doubles, the forces increase
by a factor of four.
Passengers who do not wear seat belts are not
"attached" to the vehicle. In a frontal collision
they will continue to move forward at the speed
their car was travelling just before the impact.
What happens to passengers not wearing
seat belts?
Passengers not wearing seat belts risk fatal inju
ries in the event of an accident.
Fig. 186 A driver not wearing a seat belt can be thrown
forwards
Fig. 187 A rear passenger not wearing a seat belt can be
thrown forwards
In a frontal collision, unbelted passengers will be
thrown forwards and make violent contact with
the steering wheel, dashboard, windscreen, etc
¢ Fig
. 186.
Passengers not wearing their belts
risk being thrown out of the car. This could result
in potentially fatal injuries.
The common belief that occupants can brace
their weight with their hands in a minor collision
206 is
false. Even at low speeds the forces acting on
the body in a collision are so great that it is not
possible to hold yourself in the seat.
It is also important for the rear passengers to
wear seat belts, as they could otherwise be
thrown forwards violently in an accident. Rear
passengers who do not use seat belts endanger
not only themselves but also the other occupants

system
an occupant strikes parts of the interior or ob
jects outside the vehicle with their head. By re
ducing the head impact and restraining uncon
trolled movement of the head, the airbag also
reduces the forces acting on the neck.
The front airbags, side airbags and head-protec
tion airbags may be triggered together in certain
types of accident.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in
an accident, the airbags have to inflate extremely
rapidly (within fractions of a second). The airbag
releases a fine dust when it inflates. This is quite
normal and does not mean there is a fire in the
vehicle.
Important safety notes on the head
protection airbags
Applies to vehicles: with head-protection airbags
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.
A WARNING
- It is important to ensure that the area
around the openings for the head-protec
tion airbags remains unobstructed at all
times, so that the airbags can inflate prop
erly if needed.
- The built-in coat hooks should only be used
for lightweight clothing. Do not leave any
heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets.
When using the coat hooks, do not hang the
clothes on coat hangers.
- The space between the passengers and the
head-protection airbags must never be oc
cupied by children, other passengers or
pets. Passengers should never lean out or
put a hand or arm out of the window while
the vehicle is in motion.
- Do not move the sun visors out to cover the
side windows if there is anything attached
to them (such as pens or a remote control
for the garage door). These objects could
cause injury if the head-protection airbag is
triggered.
216 -
The sensors for the airbags are located in
the doors. You must therefore not make any
modifications to the doors or door trim (e.g.
retrofitting loudspeakers), as this could im
pair the function of the side airbags. Any
damage to the doors could lead to faults in
the system. Repairs or any other work on
the doors must therefore always be carried
out by a qualified workshop.
- If unsuitable accessories are installed near
the head-protection airbag, the protection
afforded by the airbag can be seriously im
paired if the system is triggered. When the
head-protection airbag opens, parts of
these accessories could be thrown into the
vehicle and injure passengers ¢ page 260.
- Any work involving the head-protection air
bags, or removal and installation of the air
bag components for other repairs (such as
repairs to the roof liner), must always be
performed by a qualified workshop. Other
wise the airbag system may fail to work
properly.
