System descriptionRead and observe
on page 14 first.
The inflation of the airbag is carried out in a fraction of a second.
When the airbags are deployed, they fill with gas and inflate.
A grey white or red, non-harmful gas is released when the airbag is inflated.
This is perfectly normal and is not an indication of a fire in the vehicle.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, the airbag system consists of the
following parts. ▶ Front airbag for the driver and the front passenger » page 15.
▶ Driver’s knee airbag » page 17.
▶ Side airbags » page 17.
▶ Head airbags » page 18.
▶ Airbag warning light in the instrument cluster » page 35.
▶ Key switch for the front passenger airbag » page 19.
▶ Warning light for the front passenger airbag in the middle of the dash panel

Airbag deployment
Read and observe
on page 14 first.
The airbag system is only functional when the ignition is switched on.
Triggering conditions
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. 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
damage 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.
▶ Driver’s knee airbag.
The following airbags will be deployed in the event of a severe side collision.
▶ Front side airbag on the side of the accident.
▶ Rear side airbag on the side of the accident.
▶ Head airbags on the side of the accident.
When an airbag is deployed, the following events occur. ▶ The interior light comes on (if the automatic operation of the interior light is
switched on - switch 
).
▶ The hazard warning lights are switched on.
▶ All doors are unlocked.
▶ The fuel supply to the engine is interrupted.
When there is no air bag deployment?
With minor frontal and side collisions, rear collision, overturning of the vehicle
or vehicle roll-over there is no airbag deployment.

mitted speed for an engine that has been driven-in and has reached operating
temperature.
You should shift into the next highest gear before the red scale of the revolu-
tion counter is reached, or select mode D on the automatic gearbox.
The gear recommendation is important to note in order to maintain the opti-
mum engine speed » page 42.
CAUTION
The pointer of the tachometer must reach the red area for only a short time -
there is a risk of engine damage!

Graphical review summary
The evaluation of the driving economy during the last 3 minutes or 1.5 minutes
(depending on type of Infotainment) is shown like a beam in 5-second incre-
ments. The current status is shown on the left and moves gradually to the
right. The higher the green bars, the more economic the driving style is.

In the function key, the average fuel consumption from the start is displayed.
When you press the function key a detailed overview of the average fuel con-
sumption during the last 30 minutes is shown.
If the trip from the start, takes less than 30 minutes, then the average fuel
consumption takes in information from the previous trip (the bars are shown in
dark green).

Symbols in the display
The display may show the following four symbols, which give information on
the current driving style.
Ecological trip
The current speed has a negative effect on fuel consumption. The driving is not liquid, drive with anticipation.
Recommended gear.
Tips for reducing fuel consumption
When tapping the “Page” the display shows useful tips on how to reduce fuel consumption. These tips can to be helpful to drive more economically.
Note
■ Resetting the single-trip memory “from start” also resets the average con-
sumption E and the driving assessment D.■
With some Infotainment types changing the units for the fuel consumption

Radiator blind
The radiator blind(hereinafter: blind) helps to reduce CO 2emissions as well as
harmful emissions and to save fuel.
If the system detects that it is possible to reduce the amount of air flowing to
the radiator, it closes the blinds. As a result the wind resistance at the front of
the vehicle is reduced.
The blinds are located between the grille in the front bumper and the radiator. 

Engine number
The engine number (three-digit identifier and serial number) is stamped on the
engine block.
Supplementary Information (applies to Russia)
The full type approval number of the means of transport is indicated in the
registration documents, field 17.
Maximum permissible towed weight
The listed maximum allowable trailer weight is only valid for altitudes up to
1000 m above sea level.
The engine output falls as altitude increases, as does the vehicle's climbing
power. Therefore, for every additional 1000 m in height (or part), the maximum
permissible towed weight must be reduced by 10%.
The towed weight is made up of the actual weights of the loaded towing vehi-
cle and the loaded trailer.WARNINGDo not exceed the specified maximum permissible weights – risk of acci-
dent and damage!
Operating weight
This value represents the minimum operating weight without additional
weight-increasing equipment such as air conditioning system or spare wheel.
The specified operating weight is for orientation purposes only.
The operating weight also contains the weight of the driver (75 kg), the weight
of the operating fluids, the tool kit, and a fuel tank filled to 90 % capacity.
