Safe driving
10Proper sitting position for occupantsProper sitting position for driver
The proper sitting position for the driver is important for a
safe and relaxed driving.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injur y in the event of an
accident, we recommend the following adjustments for the driver:
– Adjust the steering wheel so that there is a distance of at least
25 cm between the steering wheel and the centre of your chest
⇒fig. 1.
– Move the driver's seat forwards or backwards so that you are able to press the accelerator, brake and clutch pedals to the floor with
your knees still slightly angled ⇒.
– Ensure that you can reach the highest point of the steering wheel.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same level as the top of your head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ⇒fig. 2.
– Move the backrest to an upright position so that your back rests completely against it.

Practical tips
Te c h n i c a l D a t a
– Fasten your safety belt securely ⇒page 18.
– Keep both feet in the foot well so that you have the vehicle under control at all times.Adjustment of the driver's seat ⇒page 130.
WARNING
•
An incorrect sitting position of the driver can lead to severe injuries.
•
Adjust the driver's seat so that ther e is at least 25 cm distance between
the centre of the chest and the centre of the steering wheel ⇒page 10,
fig. 1 . If you are sitting nearer than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect
you properly.
•
If your physical constitution prevents you from maintaining the
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact a qualified workshop. The workshop
will help you decide if special specific modifications are necessary.
•
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the
outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces the
risk of injury when the driver airbag is triggered.
•
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other
manner (e.g. in the centre of the stee ring wheel). In such cases, if the
airbag is triggered, you may sustain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
•
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver during sudden braking manoeu-
vres or an accident, never drive with the backrest tilted far back! The airbag
system and seat belts can only provide optimal protection when the back-
rest is in an upright position and the driver is wearing his or her seat belt
properly. The further the backrests are ti lted to the rear, the greater the risk
of injury due to incorrect positioning of the belt web or to the incorrect
sitting position!
•
Adjust the head restraint properly to achieve optimal protection.
Proper sitting position for front passenger
The front passenger must sit at least 25 cm away from the
dash panel so that the airbag can provide the greatest
possible protection in the event that it is triggered.For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accident, we recommend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
– Move the front passenger's seat back as far as possible ⇒.
– Move the backrest to an upright position so that your back rests completely against it.
– Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same level as the top of your head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head ⇒page 13.
– Keep both feet in the footwell in front of the front passenger seat.
– Fasten your safety belt securely ⇒page 18.It is possible to deactivate the passenger airbag in exceptional circum-
stances ⇒ page 23.
Adjusting the front passenger's seat ⇒page 130.
WARNING
•
An incorrect sitting position of the front passenger can lead to severe
injuries.
•
Adjust the front passenger seat so that there is at least 25 cm between
your breastbone and the dash panel. If you are sitting nearer than 25 cm,
the airbag system cannot protect you properly.

14Correct adjustment of rear seat head restraints
Properly adjusted head restraints are an important part of the
occupant protection and can redu ce the risk of injuries in
most accident situationsRear outer seat head restraints
– The rear outer seat head restraints have 3 positions.
–Two positions for use ⇒ fig. 5. In these positions, the head
restraints are used normally, protecting passengers along with
the rear seat belts.
–And one position for non-use .
– To fit the head restraints in position for use, pull on the edges with both hands in the direction of the arrow. Centre rear head restraint
– The centre head restraint only has two positions,
in-use (head
restraint up) and non-use (head restraint down).
WARNING
•
Under no circumstances should the rear passengers travel while the
head restraints are in the non-use position.
•
Do not swap the centre rear head rest raint with either of the outer seat
rear head restraints.
•
Injury risk in case of an accident!Caution
Note the instructions on the adjustment of the head restraints ⇒page 13.Examples of incorrect sitting positions
An incorrect sitting position can lead to severe injuries to
occupants.Seat belts can provide optimal prot ection only when the belt webs
are properly positioned. Incorrect sitting positions substantially
reduce the protective function of se at belts and increase the risk of
injury due to incorrect belt web position. As the driver, you are
responsible for all vehicle occupants, especially children.
– Never allow anyone to assume an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle while travelling ⇒.

Heated mirrors
The mirrors are heated (depending on th
e outside temperature) when the rear
window heater ⇒page 123 is switched on.
Memory for exterior mirrors*
On vehicles with memory function for the driver's seat, the setting of the exte-
rior mirrors is automatically stored together with the seat position
⇒ page 134.
Tilting function for exterior mirror on the passenger's side* (only if equipped
with memory for exterior mirrors)
When reverse gear is engaged, the mirror surface tilts slightly downwards,
provided the mirror control is switch ed to the exterior mirror on the
passenger's side (knob in position ⇒page 128, fig. 103 ). This provides a
better view of the kerb when parking.
The mirror returns to its original position as soon as reverse gear is disen-
gaged and the vehicle is driven forwards at a speed above 15 km/h, or when
the mirror control is turned to position or to the neutral position .
Caution
•
Rear view convex or aspheric* mirrors increase the field of vision,
although objects appear smaller and furt her away in the mirrors. Therefore,
you should not rely on these mirrors for judging the distance of vehicles
behind.
•
If one of the mirror housings is knocked out of position (e.g. when
parking), the mirrors must first be fully retracted with the electric control. Do
not readjust the mirror housing by hand, as this will interfere with the mirror
adjuster function.Note
If the electrical adjustment ever fails to operate, the mirrors can be adjusted
by hand by lightly pressing the edge of the mirror glass.

adjustment. Use of the button is
recommended to disable the memory
system when the vehicle is being driven temporarily by a different driver
whose settings do not need to be stored in the memory.
Note

the memory button. It is best to begi n with memory button No. 1 for the first
driver and then assign the other memory buttons to each subsequent driver.
The seat and mirror positions are stored when the car is locked with the
remote control and are assigned to th e remote control key. The exterior
mirrors adjust automatically to the previous position when you unlock the
car; the driver's seat adjusts automatically when you open the driver's door. However, this does not delete the settings stored in memory buttons 1 to 4.
These settings can be enabled at any time.
Enabling settings
Stored settings can be recalled using either the memory
buttons or the remote control (remote control key).Using the memory buttons
– If the driver's door is open, press the desired memory button
briefly.
– If the driver's door is closed, press and hold down the appro- priate memory button until the seat and exterior mirrors reach
their programmed positions.
Using the remote control
– Unlock the vehicle using the remote control and open the driver's door within the next ten minutes.The seat adjustment will have to be called up using the memory buttons if the
driver's door is not opened within 10 minutes after unlocking the vehicle with
the remote control.
WARNING
•
For safety reasons, the seat must only be adjusted when the vehicle is
at a standstill. Failure to do so could result in an accident.
•
In an emergency, the memory function can be stopped at any time by
pressing the STOP button or by briefly pressing any of the memory
buttons.
