Knee airbagThe knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal
impact.
Protective action Airbags are not triggered in every impact situa‐
tion, e.g., in less severe accidents or rear-end
collisions.
Information for optimum effect of the
airbags
WARNING
If the seat position is incorrect or the de‐
ployment area of the airbags is impacted, the
airbag system cannot protect as intended or
cause additional injuries due to triggering.
There is risk of injuries or danger to life. Follow
the information on optimum protective effect
of the airbag system. ◀▷Keep at a distance from the airbags.▷Always grasp the steering wheel on the
steering wheel rim, holding your hands at
the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to
keep the danger of injury to your hands or
arms as low as possible if the airbag is trig‐
gered.▷There should be no people, animals, or ob‐
jects between an airbag and a person.▷Do not use the cover of the front airbag on
the front passenger side as a storage area.▷Keep the dashboard and window on the
front passenger side clear, i.e., do not cover
with adhesive labels or coverings, and do
not attach holders or cables such as for
navigation instruments and mobile phones.▷Make sure that the front passenger is sitting
correctly, i.e., keeps his or her feet and legs
in the footwell; otherwise, leg injuries can
occur if the front airbag is triggered.▷Do not attach covers, cushions, ball mats or
other items to the front passenger seat un‐less they are specifically determined to be
safe for use on the front passenger seat.▷Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as
jackets, over the backrests.▷Make sure that occupants keep their heads
away from the side airbag and do not rest
against the head airbag; otherwise, injuries
can occur if the airbags are triggered.▷Do not remove the airbag restraint system.▷Do not remove the steering wheel.▷Do not apply adhesive materials to the air‐
bag cover panels, cover them or modify
them in any way.▷Never modify either the individual compo‐
nents or the wiring in the airbag system.
This also applies to steering wheel covers,
the dashboard, the seats, the roof pillars
and the sides of the headliner.
Even when all instructions are followed closely,
injury from contact with the airbags cannot be
ruled out in certain situations.
The ignition and inflation noise may lead to
short-term and, in most cases, temporary hear‐
ing impairment in sensitive individuals.
Warning notices and information about the air‐
bags can also be found on the sun visors.
Automatic deactivation of the front
passenger airbags
The system determines whether the front pas‐
senger seat is occupied by measuring the elec‐
trical resistance of the human body.
The front, side, and knee airbags on the front
passenger side are activated or deactivated ac‐
cordingly by the system.
The indicator lamp above the interior rearview
mirror, refer to page 76, shows the current
status of the front passenger airbags, deacti‐
vated or activated.
Before transporting a child on the front passen‐
ger seat, read the safety and operating instruc‐
tions under Transporting children safely, refer
to page 45.

Park Distance Control
PDC
The concept
PDC provides support when parking in reverse.
Signal tones indicate that the vehicle is ap‐
proaching an object behind it. Measurements
are made by four ultrasound sensors in the
bumpers.
The range of these sensors is approx. 6 ft/2 m.
An acoustic warning is first given:▷By the two corner sensors at ap‐
prox. 24 in/60 cm.▷By the rear middle sensors at approx.
5 ft/1.50 m.
WARNING
Due to high speeds when PDC is acti‐
vated, the warning can be delayed due to phys‐
ical circumstances. There is risk of injuries or
risk of property damage. Avoid approaching an
object quickly. Avoid driving away quickly while
PDC is not yet active. ◀
Automatic operation
The system is activated after approx. one sec‐
ond when reverse gear or selector lever posi‐
tion R is engaged while the engine is running or
the ignition is switched on. Await this short pe‐
riod before setting the vehicle into motion.
Signal tones
The closer the vehicle is to the object, the
shorter the intervals become. If the distance to
a detected object is less than approx.
12 in/30 cm, a continuous tone is sounded.
If the distance remains constant, for example
when driving parallel to a wall, the signal tone
is stopped after approx. 3 seconds.
Volume
The signal tone volume can be adjusted.
Radio MINI Boost CD, refer to page 126.
System limits
WARNING
The system does not relieve from the per‐
sonal responsibility to correctly assess the traf‐
fic situation. There is risk of an accident. Adjust
the driving style to the traffic conditions. Watch
traffic and vehicle surroundings closely and ac‐
tively interfere in the respective situations. ◀
Malfunction The warning light lights up. PDC is mal‐
functioning or has failed. Have the sys‐
tem checked.
To ensure full functionality of the sensors, keep
the sensors clean and free of ice. When using
high-pressure washers, do not spray the sen‐
sors for long periods and maintain a distance of
at least 12 in/30 cm.Seite 90CONTROLSDriving comfort90
