36Seats, restraintsStow head restraints securely in load
compartment.
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
Approved accessories may only be
attached if the seat is not in use.Front seats
Seat position9 Warning

they could move uncontrollably.
9 Warning
Never store any objects under the
seats.
● Sit with buttocks as far back against 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.
● Set seat height high enough to have a clear field of vision on allsides and of all display
instruments. There should be at
least one hand of clearance
between head and the roof
frame. Your thighs should rest
lightly on the seat without
pressing into it.

Seats, restraints37● Sit with shoulders as far backagainst 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 tilt the backrest too far back.
We recommend a maximum rake of approximately 25°.

Seats, restraints45Airbag system
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.
When triggered, the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable during the collision.9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
Note
The airbag systems and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it might be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.
Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.
When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.

48Seats, restraints9Danger
Do not use a child restraint system
on the passenger seat with active
front airbag.
Airbag deactivation 3 50.
Front airbag system
The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.
The warning label reminds that the
use of rear-facing child restraint
systems on the front passenger seat
is not permitted. Risk of fatal injury.
The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end 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 upper body and head of the front seat
occupants.
9 Warning
Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position 3 36.
Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and
engage securely. Only then the
airbag is able to protect.
