18 In BriefInteresting functions
Picture no: 18184s.tif
Airbag system The airbag system consists of several
internal systems.
Front airbag system 3
The front airbag system will be triggered in
the event of a serious accident involving a
frontal impact and forms safety cushions
for the driver and front passenger 3. The
forward movement of the driver and front
passenger is checked and the risk of
injuries to the upper body and head
thereby substantially reduced.
Picture no: 17110t.tif
Side airbag system 3
The side airbag is triggered in the event of
a side-on collision to form a safety cushion
for the driver or front passenger in the
respective door area. This substantially
reduces the risk of injury to the upper body
and pelvis.

In Brief
Picture no: 18185s.tif
Curtain airbag system 3
The curtain airbag system triggers in case
of a side-on collision and provides a safety
barrier in the head area on the respective
side of the vehicle. This reduces the risk of
injury to the head considerably in case of a
side-on collision.
Airbag system 369.

Seats, Interior

Notes on loading the vehicle zHeavy objects in the luggage
compartment should be placed against
the properly engaged rear seat backrests
or, if the rear seat backrests are folded
down 3, against the front seat backrests.
If objects are to be stacked, the heavier
objects should be placed at the bottom.
z Secure heavy objects with straps 3
attached to lashing eyes. z
If the backrests are not folded down
when transporting objects in the
luggage compartment, they must be
engaged in an upright position 3354.
z Do not allow the load to protrude above
the upper edge of the backrests.
z The warning triangle 3 and first-aid kit
(cushion) 3 must always be freely
accessible.
z Do not place any objects in front of the
rear window or on the instrument panel.
z Items loaded must not prevent operation
of the pedals, hand brake and gears or
obstruct the freedom of movement of
the driver. Do not place loose objects in
the interior.
z No objects must be placed in the airbag
inflation area, since they could cause
injury when the systems are triggered.
z Do not drive with luggage compartment
open when transporting bulky objects,
for example, since toxic exhaust fumes
could penetrate the interior. z
The payload is the difference between
the permitted gross vehicle weight (see
identification plate 3250) and the EC
kerb weight.
z To calculate the EC kerb weight, enter
the data for your vehicle on page 3259.
z The EC kerb weight includes allowances
for the driver (68 kg), luggage (7 kg) and
all fluids (tank 90 % full).
z Optional equipment and accessories
increase the kerb weight.
z Weights and loads 3259.
z Driving with a roof load increases the
sensitivity of the vehicle to cross-winds
and has a detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle’s higher
centre of gravity. Distribute the load
evenly and secure it properly with
retaining straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
to the load conditions. Do not drive
faster than 120 km/h. Check and
retighten the straps frequently. Observe
country-specific regulations.
z The permissible roof load is 75 kg. The
roof load consists of the weight of the
roof rack plus the load carried.
