● The vehicle heating and ventilation system
should be used to ventilate the interior while
driving. Leaving the windows open could al-
low dust and other dirt to enter the vehicle and cause unpleasant noises at certain
speeds.
● Do not leave the side windows open at high
speeds, as this will overly increase fuel con-
sumption. Using electric window switches

time, the dipped beams and the instrument
panel lighting will automatically come on as
required (e.g. when entering a tunnel) and
the daytime running lights will switch off.
When the automatic dipped beam control
switches off the dipped beams (e.g. when
coming out of a tunnel), the daytime running
lights come back on. WARNING
The rear lights do not come on with the day-
time driving light. A vehicle which does not
have the rear lights on may not be visible to
other drivers in the darkness, if it is raining
or in conditions of poor visibility. Note

Seats and head restraints
●
Do not touch the exterior mirrors when the
heating system is running.
● If the electrical adjustment should ever fail
to operate, the rear vision mirrors can be ad-
justed by hand by pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
● Visit the technical service in the event of a
fault in the electrical rear vision mirror ad-
justment system. Seats and head restraints
Adjusting seats and head
restraints
Introduction Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.
Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
The correct seat position is very important
for:
●
reaching all of the controls safely and
quickly,
● a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-
gue,
● maximum protection from the seat belts
and airbag system WARNING
● Adjust the driver seat only when the vehi-
cle is stationary. Risk of accident!
● Be careful when adjusting the front seats!
Careless and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries. ●
The backrests must not be reclined too far
back while driving. This could limit the effect
of the seat belts and the airbag system. Risk
of injury!
● Never transport more than the permitted
amount of people in your vehicle.
● Every occupant in the vehicle must properly
fasten and wear the seat belt belonging to
his or her seat. Children must be protected
with an appropriate child restraint system
››› page 24, Transporting children safety.
● The front seats, head restraints and seat
belts must always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and your
passengers with the greatest possible protec-
tion.
● Your feet should remain in the footwell
while the vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An in-
correct sitting position exposes you to an in-
creased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!
● It is important for the driver and front pas-
senger to keep a distance of at least 25 cm
from the steering wheel and dash panel. Fail-
ure to respect the minimum distance means
that the airbag will not protect you. Risk of
fatal injury if triggered!
● Objects must not be placed in the footwell,
as they could move to the area of the pedals
in the event of a braking manoeuvre or
change of direction. This would prevent the » 71Technical specifications

For maximum head restraint protection, ad-
just the head restraint so that its upper edge
is at the same level as the top of your head.
The head restraint must be adjusted in line
with the height of users. Correct adjustment of the head restraint, together with the seat
belts, ensure effective passenger protection
››› page 6 . WARNING
● Badly adjusted head restraints increase the
risk of injuries in the event of an accident.
● Never drive with the head restraints re-
moved. Risk of injuries!
● If the seats are in use, never drive with the
rear head restraints in their out-of-use posi-
tion. Seat functions

Press once to connect the heating at maxi-
mum force.
Press the button again to reduce the force of
the heating and switch it off. The force is indi-
cated by the number of warning lamps lit on
the button. WARNING
Do not use the heated seat if your perception
of pain and/or temperature or that of your
passenger is limited, e.g. due to medication,
paralysis or chronic illness (e.g. diabetes). It
could cause burns on the back, buttocks and
legs that are difficult to heal. If you still want
to use the heated seat, take frequent breaks
on long journeys so that the body can recover
from the trip. Ask your doctor about your par-
ticular situation. CAUTION
● To avoid damaging the heating elements,
do not kneel on the seat or apply sharp pres-
sure at a single point to the seat cushion or
backrest.
● Do not use the heated seats if nobody is
sitting on them or if there are items attached
to or lying on them, such as a child seat or a
bag, etc. This could lead to a fault in the seat
heating elements.
● Do not clean the seats with anything damp

– Before folding the rear seats, adjust the po-
sition of the front seats so that the rear
seats are not damaged. When the front
seats are adjusted to the rear position,
their head restraints should be removed
before folding the backrests on the rear
seats. Store the removed head restraints in such a way that they cannot be soiled or
damaged.
– Insert the seat belt latch plate into hole A ›››
Fig. 63 located on the corresponding
s ide of
the vehicle – safety position.

seat belts and their buckles must be in their
initial position – ready for use.
● The backrests must be safely locked to en-
sure any items in the boot cannot move
around the interior of the vehicle in the event
of a sudden braking manoeuvre. Risk of inju-
ries!
● Make sure the rear backrests are correctly
locked. Only then will the three-point auto-
matic seat belt on the rear central seat work
correctly. CAUTION
Take care when handling the rear backrests
so as not to damage the seat belts. The seat
belt must never be left behind the lifted back-
rest. 75
