It is also important that rear passengers fasten their seat belts, as they could
otherwise be thrown through the vehicle in an uncontrolled manner in the
event of an accident.
A rear seat passenger who has not fastened the seat belt is a danger not only
to himself but also for those seated in the front » Fig. 4 -
.

on page 10 first.
Fasten
›
Correctly adjust the front seat and head restraint before fastening the seat
belt » page 68 .
›
Use the lock tongue to slowly pull the webbing over your chest and pelvis.
›Insert the lock tongue into the belt buckle belonging to the seat
» Fig. 5 –
until it you hear it click into place.›
Pull on the belt to check that it has engaged correctly in the lock.
A plastic knob in the belt webbing holds the belt tongue in a position which is
easy to get hold of.
It is important that the belt is properly routed to ensure seat belts offer the
maximum protection.
The shoulder part of the seat belt must never run across the neck but must
roughly run over the middle of the shoulder and fit snugly against the chest.
The lap part of the belt must run across the pelvis, must not be lie across the
stomach and must always fit snugly » Fig. 6 -
.
Expectant women must also always wear a seat belt. This is the only way of ensuring optimal protection for the unborn child.
The lap part of the belt must be positioned as low as possible on the pelvis on expectant mothers to avoid exerting any pressure on the lower abdo-
men » Fig. 6 -
.
Release
Release the seat belt only when the vehicle is stationary.
›
Press the red button in the belt buckle » Fig. 5 -
, the lock tongue pops out.
›
Manually guide the belt back so that it is easier to fully roll up the webbing,
the seat belt does not twist.
CAUTION
When releasing the seatbelt ensure that the tongue of the lock does not dam-
age the door trim or other parts of the interior.12Safety

Deployment factors
It is not possible to generally determine which deployment conditions apply to
the airbag system in every situation. An important role is played by factors
such as the type of object that the vehicle hits (hard/soft), the impact angle,
vehicle speed, etc.
A decisive factor for the deployment of the airbags is the deceleration which
occurs. The control unit analyses the nature of the collision and activates the
relevant restraint system.
If the vehicle deceleration which occurs and is measured during the collision
remains below the prescribed reference values specified in the control unit,
the airbags are not deployed although the vehicle may well suffer severe dam-
age to the bodywork as a consequence of the accident.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe frontal
collision.
› Driver’s front airbag.
› Front passenger airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.
› Front side airbag on the side of the accident.
› Head airbags on the side of the accident.
In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed:
› the interior lighting comes on (if the switch for the interior light is in the door
contact position),
› the hazard warning light is switched on;
› all the doors are unlocked;
› the fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.

Safe distance to steering wheel/inflated airbags
In the event of a severe frontal collision, the front airbag system offers addi-
tional protection for the head and chest area of the driver and front passenger.
The front airbag for the driver is housed in the steering wheel » Fig. 8 -
.
The front airbag for the front seat passenger is located in the dash panel
above the glove compartment » Fig. 8 -
.
The airbags inflate in front of the driver and front passenger when they are
deployed » Fig. 9 -
. The forward movement of the driver and of the front
passenger is cushioned when they make contact with the fully inflated airbag
and the risk of injury to head and chest is thus reduced.

Warning light in the driver's door
After locking the vehicle, the warning light flashes for around 2 seconds in
quick succession, afterwards it begins to flash evenly at longer intervals.
If the vehicle is locked and the safe securing system » page 46 is not operat-
ing, the warning light in the driver door flashes for about 2 seconds fast, goes
out and starts to flash evenly at longer intervals after about 30 seconds.
If the indicator light first flashes fast for about 2 seconds, then lights up for
about 30 seconds continuously and then flashes slowly, there is a fault in the
central locking system or in the interior monitor and in the towing protec-
tion » page 50 . Seek help from a specialist garage.
Convenience operation of windows
The windows can be opened and closed when unlocking and locking the vehi-
cle » page 53 .
CAUTION
If the safe securing system is activated » page 46, the door opening lever and
the central locking buttons do not operate.
Note
■ In the event of an accident in which the airbags are deployed, the locked
doors are automatically unlocked in order to enable rescuers to gain access to
the vehicle.■
Upon failure of the central locking system the key can only be used for lock-
ing and unlocking the driver's door. The other doors and the boot lid can be
manually locked or unlocked. ■ Emergency locking of the door » page 45.
■ Emergency unlocking of the boot lid » page 51.

then not possible to open the doors with the door handle, either from the in-
side or from the outside.
You will be informed that the safe securing system is activated after the vehi-
cle is locked by the CHECK DEADLOCK message on the instrument cluster dis-
play. On vehicles equipped with the MAXI DOT display, the display shows
Check deadlock. Log book!
Switching off
Opening can take place in one of the following ways.
›
By locking twice within 2 seconds.
