WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper-
ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-mats on top of one another. Features

Active bonnet (pedestrian protection) Operating principle
! A triggered active bonnet must be
repaired at a qualified specialist workshop
after it has been reset. The active bonnet
function will then be available again. The
additional pedestrian protection provided
by the active bonnet will then be restored.
The active bonnet is only available in certain
countries.
The active bonnet can reduce the risk of injury to pedestrians in certain accident situations.
Raising the active bonnet increases the clear- ance to hard components, such as the engine.
If the active bonnet has been triggered, it is
raised at the rear in the area around the hinge
by approximately 85 mm.
For the drive to the workshop, reset the trig-
gered active bonnet yourself. If the active 336
