WARNING■Make sure that the mirror is not covered by ice, snow, condensation or
other objects.■
Convex (curved outward) or aspheric exterior mirrors increase the field of
vision. They do, however, make objects appear smaller in the mirror. These
mirrors are therefore only of limited use for estimating distances to the fol-
lowing vehicles.
■
Whenever possible use the interior mirror for estimating the distances to
the following vehicles.

dow until it audibly clicks into place.
Note
■ The exterior mirror heater only operates when the engine is running.■Do not touch the surface of the exterior mirrors if the exterior mirror heater
is switched on.■
If the power setting function fails at any time, the exterior mirrors can be set
by hand by pressing on the edge of the mirror surface.

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 the following rea-
sons.
› Reaching the controls safely and quickly.
› A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
› Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING■ Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!■
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a
result of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
■
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
signed for this purpose (e.g. child seat) – risk of accident!

›Switch the front seat heating to 25 % or 100 % power by pressing rocker
switch at position 1 or 2 » Fig. 55 .›
To switch off the heating shift the rocker switch into the horizontal position.
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. diabe-
tes), we recommend not to use the seat heating. 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 recuperate 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 141, Seat covers .
Note
■
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running.
This has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.■
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically,
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine con-
trol » page 156 , Automatic load deactivation .

WARNING■ The belt locks must be in their original position after folding back the seat
cushions and backrests - they must be ready to use.■
The seat backrests must be securely latched in position so that no ob-
jects from the luggage compartment can slip into the passenger compart-
ment under sudden braking – there is a risk of injury.
■
When folding the seat backrest always make sure that it has safely
locked into position, this is confirmed by the position and a visible marking
on the cover of the lever.
Head restraints
 Introduction

73
Best protection is achieved if the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head.
The head restraints must be adjusted to match the size of the seat occupant.
Correctly adjusted head restraints together with the seat belts offer effective
protection for the occupants » page 9.
WARNING■
The head restraints must be correctly adjusted in order to offer effective
protection for the occupants in the event of an accident.■
Never drive with the head restraints removed - risk of injury.
■
If the rear seats are occupied, the rear head restraint must not be in the
lower position.

Please observe the following for the purpose of maintaining good handling
characteristics 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 74 .
In the event of an accident, even small and light objects gain so much kinetic
energy that they can cause severe injuries.
The magnitude of the kinetic energy is dependent on the speed at which the
vehicle 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
weighing 4.5 kg produces energy corresponding to 20 times its own weight.
This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg “ ”.
WARNING■ Store the objects in the boot and attach them to the lashing eyes.■Loose objects can be thrown forward during a sudden manoeuvre or in
case of an accident and can injure the occupants or other road users.■
Loose objects could hit a deployed airbag and injure occupants – there is
a risk of death.
■
Please note that transporting heavy objects alters the handling proper-
ties of the vehicle due to the displacement of the centre of gravity – risk of
accident! The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.
■
If the items of luggage or objects are attached to the lashing eyes with
unsuitable or damaged lashing straps, injuries can occur in the event of
braking manoeuvres or accidents. To prevent items of luggage from being
thrown forward, always use suitable lashing straps which must be firmly at-
tached 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 in-
jury!
■
When transporting fastened objects which are sharp and dangerous in
the boot that has been enlarged by folding the rear seats forward, ensure
the safety of the passengers transported on the other rear seats » page 11,
Correct seated position for the passengers in the rear seats .
73Seats and stowing

WARNING (Continued)■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
exhaust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle – risk of poisoning!
■
Under no circumstances should the permissible axle loads and the per-
missible total vehicle weight be exceeded – risk of accident!
■
Never transport people in the boot!
CAUTION
Please ensure that the heating elements for the rear window heater are not
damaged as a result of abrasive objects.
Note
Tyre pressure must be adjusted to the load » page 157.
Class N1 vehicles
Read and observe
and on page 73 first.
On class N1 vehicles, which are not fitted with a protective grille, a lashing set
which complies with the standard EN 12195 (1 - 4) must be used for fastening
the load.
The proper functioning of the electrical system is essential for the safe opera-
tion of the vehicle. It is important to ensure that it is not damaged during mod-
ifications or when loading or unloading the luggage compartment.
