The u restraint system warning lamp in the
instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is
switched on. It goes out no later than af ew sec-
onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-
nent soft he restraint system are in operational
readiness.
Am alfunction has occurred if the u restraint
system warning lamp: R
does not light up after the ignition is switched
on R
does not go out after af ew seconds with the
engine running R
lights up again while the engine is running
G WARNING
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig-
gered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident .T his can affect
for example the Emergency Tensioning
Device or the air bag. This poses an increased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired in aq ualified specialist workshop as
soon as possible.
PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp C and
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp D are
part of the Occupant Classification System
(OCS).
The indicator lamps display the status of the
front-passenger front air bag. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is enabled. If, in the
event of an accident ,a ll deployment criteria are met, the front-passenger front air bag is
deployed. R
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will
then not be deployed in the event of an acci-
dent.
Dependin gont he person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag must
either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-
lowing points. You must make sure of this both
before and during aj ourney.R
Children in ac hild restraint system:
whether the front-passenger front air bag is
enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-
led child restraint system, and the age and
size of the child. Therefore, be sure to observe
the notes on the "Occupant Classification
System (OCS)" ( Y
page 44) and on "Chil-
dren in the vehicle" ( Y
page 51). There you
will also find instructions on rearward and
forward-facing child restraint systems on the
front-passenger seat. R
All other persons: depending on the classi-
fication of the person in the front-passenger
seat, the front-passenger front air bag is ena-
bled or deactivated ( Y
page 44). Be sure to
observe the notes on "Seat
belts“ ( Y
page 38) and "Air bags"
( Y
page 42). There you can also find infor-
mation on the correc ts eat position.
Seat belts
Introduction Seat belts are the most effective means of
restrictin gt he movemen tofv ehicle occupants
in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling
over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants
coming into contact with parts of the vehicle
interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-
thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle
occupant in the best position in relation to the
air bag.
The seat belt system comprises: R
Seat belts R
Emergency Tensionin gD evices and seat belt
force limiters
If the seat belt is pulled by the belt loop quickly
or with aj erk ym ovement, the belt retractor
locks. The belt strap cannot be extracted any
further.38
Occupant safety
Safety

G WARNING
If you secure ac hild in ar earward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rs eat
and the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp is lit up, the front-passenge rf ront air bag
may deploy in an accident. The child coul db e
struck by the air bag .T his pose sani ncreased
risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that the front-passenge rf ront air
bag has been disabled. The PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit.
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
remains off and/or the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON indicator lamp lights up, do not install ar ear-
ward-facing child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat. You can find more information
on OCS under "Problems with the Occupant
Classification System" ( Y
pag e4 8).
G WARNING
If you secure ac hild in af orward-facing child
restraint system on the front-passenge rs eat
and you position the front-passenge rs eat too
close to the dashboard, in the event of an
accident, the child could: R
come into contact with the vehicle's inte-
rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp is lit, for example R
be struck by the air bag if the PASSENGER
AIR BAG ON is lit up
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Move the front-passenge rs eat as far back as
possible .A lways make sure that the shoulder
bel ts trap is correctly routed from the vehicle
bel tl oop to the shoulde rb el tg uide on the
child restraint system. The shoulde rb el ts trap
must be routed forwards and downwards
from the bel tl oop .A lways observe the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
If OCS determines that: R
the front-passenge rs eat is unoccupied ,t he
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated. R
the front-passenge rs eat is occupied by a
child of up to twelve months old, in as tandard
child restraint system, the PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF indicator lamp lights up after the
system self-test and remains lit. This indi-
cates that the front-passenge rf ront air bag is
deactivated.
But even in the case of at welve-month-old
child ,inas tandard child restraint system, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON can light up perma-
nently after the system self-test. This indi-
cates that the front-passenge rf ront air bag is
activated. The result of the classification is
dependent on, among other factors, the child
restraint system and the child's stature. Make
sure that the conditions for ac orrect classi-
ficatio na re met. If the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF indicator lamp is still lit, do not install a
child restraint system on the front-passenger
seat. R
the front-passenge rs eat is occupied by ap er-
son of smaller stature (e.g. at eenage ro r
smal la dult), either the PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON or PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp lights up and remains lit after the system
self-test depending on the result of the clas-
sification. -
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator
lamp lights up, move the front-passenger
seat as far back as possible. -
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator
lamp is lit, ap erso nofs maller stature
should not use the front-passenge rs eat.R
the front-passenge rs eat is occupied by an
adult or ap erso nofa dult stature, the
PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp
lights up after the system self-test and
remains lit. This indicates that the front-
passenger front air bag is activated.
If children are traveling in the vehicle, be sure to
observe the notes on "Children in the vehicle"
( Y
pag e5 1).
When OCS is malfunctioning, the red u
restraint system warning lamp in the instrument
cluster and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi-
cator lamp light up simultaneously .T he front-
passenger front air bag is deactivated in this
case and does not deploy during an accident.
Have the system checked by qualified techni-
cians as soon as possible .C onsult an authorized

good time, and for staying in lane. Always adapt
your driving style to suit the prevailing road and
weather conditions and maintain as afe distance
from the vehicle in front .D rive carefully.
The driving safety systems described only work
as effectively as possible when there is ade-
quate contact between the tires and the road
surface. Pay particular attention to the informa-
tion regarding tires, recommended minimum
tire tread depths etc. in the "Wheels and tires"
section ( Y
page 255).
In wintry driving conditions, always use winter
tires (M+S tires) and if necessary, snow chains.
Only in this way will the driving safety systems
described in this section work as effectively as
possible.
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General information ABS regulates brake pressure in such aw ay that
the wheels do not lock when you brake. This
allows you to continue steering the vehicle when
braking.
The % ABS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out when the engine is running.
ABS works from as peed of about 5m ph
(8 km/h), regardless of road-surface conditions.
ABS works on slippery surfaces, even when you
only brake gently.
Important safety notes
i Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion ( Y
page 54).
G WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. The steerability and braking charac-
teristics may be severely impaired. Addition-
ally ,f urther driving safety systems are deac-
tivated. There is an increased danger of skid-
ding and accidents.
Drive on carefully. Have ABS checked imme-
diately at aq ualified specialist workshop.
When ABS is malfunctioning, other systems,
including driving safety systems, will also
become inoperative. Observe the information
on the ABS warning lamp ( Y
page 204) and dis- play messages which may be shown in the
instrument cluster ( Y
page 179).
Braking X
If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the
brake pedal vigorously until the braking sit-
uation is over. X
To make af ull brake application: depress
the brake pedal with full force.
If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal.
The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication
of hazardous road conditions, and functions as a
reminder to take extr ac are while driving.
BAS (Brake Assist System)
General information BAS operates in emergenc yb raking situations.
If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS
automatically boosts the braking force, thus
shortening the stopping distance.
Important safety notes
i Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion ( Y
page 54).
G WARNING
If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance
in an emergenc yb raking situation is
increased. There is ar isk of an accident.
In an emergenc yb raking situation, depress
the brake pedal with full force. ABS prevents
the wheels from locking.
Braking X
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed until
the emergenc yb raking situation is over.
ABS prevent st he wheels from locking.
The brakes will function as usual once you
release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.Driving safety systems 55
