side windows are being wound up.
Always remove the ignition key when
you leave the car. This prevents per-
sonal injury caused by the electric win-
dows, for example, due to children
playing.
The person operating the electric win-
dows is responsible for ensuring that
no one, especially children, has their
head, hands or fingers in the window
openings, before raising the windows.

Retain your original garage door transmitter
for future programming procedures (i.e.,
new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested
that upon the sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed garage opener buttons be erased
for security purposes.
WARNING
Make sure that people and objects are out
of the way of a moving door or gate to pre-
vent potential harm or damage.
When programming the garage opener,
you may be operating a garage door or
gate operator. Therefore it is advised to
park outside of the garage.
Do not use the garage opener with any
garage door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse feature as required by
federal safety standards. (This includes
any garage door opener model manufac-
tured before April 1, 1982.). A garage
door opener which cannot detect an
object, signalling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.

Moonroof
The moonroof is operated by the switch on
the overhead panel above the rearview mir-
ror. The moonroof can be opened partially
or fully.
To open:
Slide the control towards the rear to open
the moonroof to the comfort position.
To open it fully, slide the control back a
second time. Press the control to stop it
earlier. To close:

roof is closed.

moonroof closed).
To close: slide the control forwards.
To fully open the moonroof from the ventila-
tion position, slide the control back.
The moonroof incorporates an interior,
manual, sliding sun blind.
If the car is newly waxed, the moonroof may
creak when opened to the ventilation posi-
tion or when driving with the moonroof
closed. The sound comes from the area
where the front edge of the moonroof meets the metal roof. Open the moonroof fully and,
using washer fluid, clean the seal on the
leading edge of the moonroof and the
painted surface against which this seals
when the moonroof is closed.
WARNING
Bear in mind the pinch hazard when clos-
ing the moonroof.
Always remove the ignition key when
you leave the car. This prevents per-
sonal injury caused by the electric
moonroof, for example, due to chil-
dren playing.
The person operating the electric
moonroof is responsible for ensuring
that no one, especially children, has
their head, hands or fingers in the
opening, before closing the moonroof.
Operating the moonroof could other-
wise cause serious or fatal injuries.
Do not extend your arm, head etc. out
of an open moonroof while driving.

130 Interior equipment and trunkTrunkFolding the rear seat, 9-5 SedanThe rear seat is split and the two sections can be folded indepen-
dently. Folding down of the rear seat is easier if the front seats are
not all the way back, and the rear head restraints are folded down.
1 Raise the rear seat cushions by pulling the loop located between
the cushion and the backrest.
2 Tip the seat cushion forward.
3 Press the button adjacent to the respective backrest to release it.
4 Fold down the backrest.
WARNING
Never leave a child or animal unattended in the car. During
sunny weather the temperature in the passenger and luggage
compartments can climb to 158–176°F (70–80°C). Small chil-
dren are very susceptible to heat stroke.
Rear-seat passengers should always ensure that the head
restraint is raised and in proper position for the seats to be
occupied.
Keep hands well clear of all moving parts.
Never place heavy objects on the rear window shelf. There is
always a danger of loose objects flying about and causing
injury if the car should brake suddenly or be involved in a
crash.
Before folding up the backrest, hang the outer safety belts
onto the hook on the respective courtesy handle to prevent
them from becoming trapped.
Check that the seatbelt locks do not get trapped under the
seat cushions when these are raised back up.
Make sure that the backrest is locked when it is restored to an
upright position. Check that the back rest release button (3) is
flush with the surround before entering the rear seat. This indi-
cates that the backrest is locked.

WARNING
Place heavy items closest to the backrest and stow smaller
and lighter items on top.
Never overload the cargo net. If the elastic breaks this may
cause personal injury. Do not use a cargo net that shows signs
of wear.
Secure heavy and bulky items using the tie down points
provided in the trunk. This will avert the danger of luggage
flying around if the car should brake suddenly or be involved
in a crash (see page 132).
Secure small items if the backrest is folded down or the
load-through hatch is open. Small items can also be thrown
around inside the car and cause personal injury.
Do not exceed the load capacity of the car, as this will alter its
handling characteristics (see page 260).
Make sure that the seat cushions and backrests are properly
secured when folding them back to their normal position.
Check that the button (item 3 on page 130) is flush with the
surround before entering the back seat.
The tail pipe of the exhaust system can become very hot during
driving. Bear this in mind when loading and unloading the car so
that children, for example, do not burn themselves.
