Seat belts 24
The seat belt for the centre seat in the second row of seats has a belt retractor
fitted in the car roof. Full freedom of movement is permitted when the
shoulder belt is pulled slowly. However, during sudden braking, during travel
in mountains or bends and during acceleration, the automatic retractor on
the seat belt is locked.
WARNING
An incorrectly worn seat belt web can cause severe injuries in the event of
an accident.
•The seat belts offer best protection only when the backrests are in an
upright position and the seat belts have been fastened properly.
•Never put the latch plate in the buckle of another seat. If you do this, the
seat belt will not protect you properly and the risk of injury is increased.
•If an occupant is incorrectly belted in, the belt cannot protect him or her
properly. An incorrectly positioned belt web can cause extremely severe
injuries.
Note
An illustration of how to fasten the seat belts can be found on each buckle.
Seat belt position
Seat belts offer their maximum protection only when they are
properly positioned.

•Always properly adjust the front seats.
Conditions for fitting a rear facing child seat in the front
passenger seat
Rear-facing child seats must never be used on the front
passenger seat when the front passenger airbag is enabled.
An enabled front airbag on the front passenger side is potentially a major
danger to a child Ÿ . The front passenger seat is life threatening to a child
if you transport the child in a rear-facing child seat. You should always trans-
port all children up to 12 years of age on the rear seat.
If a rear-facing child seat is secured to the front passenger seat, an inflating
airbag can strike it with such great force that critical or fatal injuries may
result.
Therefore we urgently recommend that you transport children on the rear
seats. That is the safest place in the vehicle for children. Alternatively, the
front and side airbags for the front passenger Ÿpage 43can be disabled with
the ignition key. When transporting children, use a child seat appropriate to
the age and size of each child.
WARNING
If a child seat is mounted in the front passenger seat, the child is exposed
to a greater risk in the event of an accident.
•Never secure a rear-facing child seat to the front passenger seat if the
front passenger airbag is enabled. The child can suffer critical or fatal inju-
ries when the front passenger airbag is triggered.
•An inflating front passenger airbag can strike the rear-facing child seat
and hurl it with great force against the door, the roof or the backrest.
•If, under special circumstances, it should be necessary to transport a
child in a rear-facing child seat on the front passenger seat, it is absolutely
essential that you observe the following safety measures:
−Disabling front and side airbags for front passenger Ÿpage 43
−The child seat must be approved by the child seat manufacturer for
use on a front passenger seat with front or side airbag.
−Follow the installation instructions of the child seat manufacturer
and absolutely observe the warnings Ÿpage 45.
−Before properly installing the child seat, push the front passenger
seat all the way to the rear so that the greatest possible distance to the
front passenger airbag is ensured.
−Ensure that no objects prevent the front passenger seat from being
pushed completely back.
−The backrest of the front passenger seat must be in an upright
position.

device system.

Airbag system 42
Function of curtain airbags
Fully inflated airbags reduce the risk of head or chest injury in
a side collision.
During some side collisions the curtain airbag is triggered on the impact side
of the vehicle Ÿfig. 27.
In certain types of accident the front, side and curtain airbags may be trig-
gered together.
When the system is triggered, the airbag is filled with propellant gas. In the
process, the curtain bag covers the side windows and door pillars.
In order to provide the desired extra protection in an accident, the airbags
have to deploy extremely rapidly (within fractions of a second). A fine dust
may develop when the airbag deploys. This is normal and is no indication
that there was a fire in the vehicle.
The fully deployed airbags cushion the movement of the front occupants and
help to reduce the risk of injury to the upper body.The special design of the airbag allows the controlled escape of the propel-
lant gas when an occupant puts pressure on the bag. Thus, the head and
chest are surrounded and protected by the airbag.
Safety notes on the operation of the curtain airbag system
If you use airbags correctly, they can considerably reduce the
risk of injury in many kinds of accident.
WARNING
•In order for the side airbags to provide their maximum protection, the
prescribed sitting position must always be maintained with seat belts
fastened while travelling.
•For safety reasons, the head air bag must be disconnected in those
vehicles fitted with a passenger compartment separation screen. See an
Authorised Service Centre to make this adjustment.
•There must be no other persons, animals or objects between the occu-
pants of the outer seats and the deployment space of the curtain airbags
so that the curtain airbag can deploy without restriction and provide the
greatest possible protection. Therefore, sun blinds which have not been
expressly approved for use in your vehicle may not be attached to the side
windows .
•The built-in coat hooks should be used only for lightweight clothing. Do
not leave any heavy or sharp-edged objects in the pockets. When using the
coat hooks, do not hang the clothes on coat hangers.
•The airbags provide protection for one accident only, if they have been
deployed they must be replaced.
•Any work on the curtain airbag system or removal and installation of
the airbag components for other repairs (such as removal of the roof lining)
should only be performed by a qualified workshop. Otherwise, a fault may
be introduced into the operation of the airbag system.

•The deadlock mechanism, the interior monitoring system10) and the anti-
theft alarm10) will be activated immediately if the key is turned once in the
lock. The activation is confirmed by the turn signals flashing briefly.
•The deadlock mechanism, the interior monitoring system and the anti-
theft alarm will not be activated if the key is turned in the lock twice within
one second. All the doors and the tailgate will, however, be locked. The doors
can be unlocked from the inside if the deadlock mechanism has not been
activated. To do this, operate the door opening lever on the door in question.
The alarm will be triggered.
•When locking the vehicle, the interior lights in the courtesy switch posi-
tion will be switched off
•A warning lamp in the driver door flashes to indicate the deadlock is
working. The warning lamp will switch off after 14 days. This is to prevent the
vehicle battery from discharging completely when the vehicle is not used for
a longer period. The system is still active.
•Windows, or the sliding roof, which are still open can be closed automat-
ically on vehicles equipped with electric windows and electric vent windows
or with an electric sliding roof. To do this, the key must be kept held in the
locking position until all windows and the sliding roof are fully closed.

•Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle; in case of emer-
gency they may not be able to leave the vehicle or look after themselves.
•Always take you car keys with you when you leave the vehicle . Misuse
of the keys, for example, by children, may result in serious damage and
accident.
−The engine may accidentally be started and be out of control.
−If the ignition is switched on, the electric equipment could be acti-
vated with risk of injury, for example, in the electric windows.−The doors can be locked using the remote control key. This could
result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
−Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.
•Never remove the key from the ignition if the vehicle is in motion. Risk
of accident. The steering lock could engage suddenly, and you would not be
able to steer the vehicle.
Caution

It is not possible to open the tailgate when the ignition is on. This helps
prevent theft (e.g. at traffic lights). This function will remain active for approx.
30 seconds after the ignition is switched off as long as no door is opened.
When a door is opened, the tailgate immediately unlocks.
For greater convenience, it is possible to open the tailgate for up to 30
seconds after the last door has been closed and the ignition is switched on.
