Active head restraints
In the event of a rear-end impact, the active head restraints automatically
tilt forwards. Thus the head is
supported so that the risk of whiplash
injury is reduced.
Note
Do not attach objects or components
that are not approved for your
vehicle to the head restraints. These affect the protective effect of the
head restraints and can be propelled
through the vehicle in an
uncontrolled manner if the driver
brakes hard or an accident occurs.
Note

attached if the seat is not in use.Front seats
Seat position9 Warning

the backrest as possible. Adjust the distance between the seat and the
pedals so that legs are slightly
angled when pressing the pedals.
Slide the front passenger seat as
far back as possible.
â–  Sit with shoulders as far back against the backrest as possible.
Set the backrest rake so that it is possible to easily reach the
steering wheel with arms slightly bent. Maintain contact between
shoulders and the backrest when
turning the steering wheel. Do not
angle the backrest too far back. We recommend a maximum rake of
approximately 25°.

Seats, restraints49Curtain airbag system
The curtain airbag system consists of an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.
The curtain airbag system is triggered in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.
The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby considerably
reducing the risk of injury to the head in the event of a side-on impact.
9 Warning
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do not keep any items in these
clothes.
Airbag deactivation
The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint system is to be fitted on this seat. The
belt pretensioners and all driver
airbag systems will remain active.The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key-
operated switch on the right side of the instrument panel.

Storage71Roof rack system
Roof rack For safety reasons and to avoiddamage to the roof, the vehicle
approved roof rack system is
recommended. For further
information contact a workshop.
Fasten the roof rack to the roof rails following the instructions that
accompany the system, ensuring that
the roof load is evenly distributed over the side or cross rails.
Loads must not be placed on the roof
surface. To prevent damage or loss,
check frequently that roof loads are
securely fastened.
Driving with a roof load affects the
vehicle centre of gravity; drive
carefully in crosswinds and do not
drive at high speeds.
Remove the roof rack when not in use.Loading information
â–  Heavy objects in the load compartment should be evenly
distributed and placed as far
forward as possible. Ensure the
backrests are securely engaged. If
objects can be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
With rear seats in the folded
position, objects must not be
stacked higher than the seat
backrests.
â–  Secure objects with lashing straps attached to lashing eyes 3 70.
â–  Secure loose objects in the load compartment, e.g. with a luggage
floor net, to prevent sliding.
â–  When transporting objects in the load compartment, the backrests ofthe rear seats must not be angled
forward.
â–  Do not allow the load to protrude above the upper edge of the
backrests.â–  Do not place any objects on the load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not cover
the sensor on top of the instrument
panel.
â–  The load must not obstruct the operation of the pedals, electrical
parking brake and gear selector, or hinder the freedom of movement ofthe driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.

Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.

vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 198) and the EC kerb
weight.
