Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats
43
Foldable front passenger seat

Front seat heating
44
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important:
› for safely and quickly reaching the controls;
› for a relaxed body position that reduces fatigue;
› for achieving maximum protection from the seat belts and the airbag system.
WARNINGGeneral information■Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.■
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will
impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened » page 103, Transporting children safely with a
suitable restraint system.
■
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted according
to height, so that the occupants can be protected as effectively as possible.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seat) – risk of accident!
WARNINGInformation for the driver■Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel. Not maintaining
this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to
properly protect you – risk to life!
■
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get
caught in the pedal apparatus when driving or braking. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.
WARNINGInformation for the front seat passenger■Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-
ly protect you – hazard!■
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – never
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi-
tion!
Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle.

could fall under the pedals or protrude into the driver's area; ■ could injure passengers when the driver accelerates sharply, changes di-
rection or brakes.
Front seat heating
Fig. 37
Heated front seats
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn- ings on page 42.
The front seats can be heated electrically. In some seat versions, the seat back-
rest is heated as well.
The seat heating can only be switched on when the engine is running.
›
Press the symbol button
or
» Fig. 37 .
Pressing once switches the seat heating on at its maximum level.
With repeated pressing of the switch, the level of the seat heating is down-regu-
lated up to the switch-off. The level of the seat heating is indicated by the num-
ber of illuminated warning lights in the switch.WARNINGIf, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),
we recommend you do not use seat heating on the driver or front passenger
seat. This can lead to burns on the back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating is used, we recommend to make regular
breaks in your journey when driving long distances, so that the body can recu-
perate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can evaluate your specific condition.
CAUTION
■ Do not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific points to
avoid damaging the heating elements for the seat heaters.■
Do not turn on the seat heater if seats are not occupied.
■
Do not switch on the seat heating if the seats have objects attached to or
placed on them, for example a child seat, a bag, etc. A fault of the heating ele- ments in the seat heating can occur.
■
If additional seat covers or protective covers are attached to the seats, do not
turn on the seat heater - there is a risk of damaging the seat covers and seat
heating.
■
Do not clean the seats using moisture » page 120, Seat covers .
Note
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically, in
order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control » page 137,

The seat backrests must be securely locked in position so that no objects in
the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment on sud-
den braking – risk of injury.
■
Ensure that the rear seat backrests are properly engaged. It is only then that
the three-point seat belt can reliably fulfil its function.

Luggage compartment
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Class N1 vehicles

Bag hooks
47
Fixing nets
48
Luggage compartment cover

Variable loading floor
49
Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling char-
acteristics of your vehicle:
›
Distribute loads as evenly as possible.
›
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.
›
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or using the fixing net » page 47 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic en-
ergy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the ve-
hicle is travelling and the weight of the object.
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an object with a
weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times its own
weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
Luggage compartment light
The light switches on/off when the luggage compartment lid is opened or closed.WARNING■ Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the lash-
ing eyes.■
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward during
a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants or
other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are fly-
ing around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, objects that are thrown
back may injure the occupants – risk to life.
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling properties
of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of acci-
dent! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with un-
suitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of braking
manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being thrown for-
ward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly attached to the
lashing eyes.
■
The transported items must be stowed in such a way that no objects are
able to slip forward on sudden driving or braking manoeuvres – risk of injury!
■
When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in the
luggage compartment that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats for-
ward, ensure the safety of the passengers transported on the other rear
seats » page 92 , Correct seated position for the passengers in the rear
seats .
■
If the rear seat next to the folded forward seat is occupied, ensure maxi-
mum safety, e.g. by placing the goods to be transported in such a way that the
seat is prevented from folding back in case of a rear collision.
■
Never drive with the luggage compartment lid open or ajar, as otherwise ex-
haust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
46Using the system
Page 50 of 176
WARNING (Continued)■Under no circumstances should the permissible axle loads and the permissi-
ble total vehicle weight be exceeded – risk of accident!■
Never transport people in the luggage compartment!
CAUTION
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not dam-
aged as a result of abrasive objects.
Note
The tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load .
Class N1 vehicles
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
