Technical Data
Seats and StowageFront seatsBasic informationThe front seats have a wide range of differ ent settings and can thus be matched to the
physical characteristics of the driver and front passenger. Correct adjustment of the
seats is particularly important for:
safely and quickly reaching the controls;
a relaxed, fatigue-free body position;
achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.
WARNING
Never transport more occupants than the maximum seating in the vehicle.
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.
Children must be fastened page 156, “Transporting children safely” with a
suitable restraint system.
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the vehicle is being driven -
never place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the
surfaces of the seats. This is particular ly important for the front seat passenger.
You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply
the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!
It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of at
least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly
protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must always also
be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.
Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except those
provided for this purpose (e.g. child safety seat) - risk of accident!
Adjusting the front seatsAdjusting a seat in a forward/back direction–Pull the lever fig. 55 up and push the seat into the desired position.
– Release the lever and push the seat further until the lock is heard to engage.Adjusting height of seat– Lift the seat if required by pulling or pumping lever upwards.
– Lower the seat if required by pushing or pumping lever downwards.Adjust the angle of the seat backrest– Relieve any pressure on the seat backrest (do not lean on it) and turn the hand- wheel fig. 55 to adjust the desired angle of the backrest.

Adjusting lumbar support*
– Pull on the lever until you have set th e most comfortable curvature of the seat
upholstery in the area of your spine.
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully pressed

point of the steering wheel can be easi ly reached with slightly bent arms.
WARNING
Only adjust the driver seat when the vehicle is stationary - risk of injury!
Take care when adjusting the seat! Adjusting the seat without care can lead
to bruises or injuries.
The seat backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the se at belts and of the airbag system - risk
of injury!

If you wish to be able to retrieve the settings which are stored in the memory by also
using the radio remote control, you have to assign the radio remote control to a
memory button in each case.
If you wish, you can obtain an additional remote control key from a specialist garage
and then assign the remote control key to another memory button.
Note
If the radio remote control had previous ly been assigned to another memory
button, this setting is then erased by the new assignment.
If you assign the radio remote control to a memory button which has already been
assigned to a radio remote control, the ol d assignment is also replaced by a new
assignment in this case.
The assignment of the radio remote co ntrol to a memory button is retained,
however, after reassigning the seats and exterior mirrors.
After the successful assignment, the turn si gnal lights flash and an audible signal
will sound as a confirmation. The setting is stored with the memory button which you
have selected.
Retrieving settings of the seat and mirrors
You can retrieve the stored settings either with the memory buttons or
with the remote control*.Retrieving settings with memory buttons– In order to retrieve the stored setting, you have two possibilities:
– By pressing briefly: briefly press the desired memory button page 71,
fig. 57 . The seat and exterior mirror are move d automatically into the stored posi-
tions (this applies only if the ignition is switched on and the speed is less than 5
km/h).
– By pressing for a long period of time: press and hold the desired memory button
pressed long enough until the seat and the exterior mirrors are moved into the
stored positions.
Retrieving settings with remote control– If the driver door is closed and the ignition is switched off, briefly press the unlock button of the radio remote control page 44 and then open the driver door.
– The seat and exterior mirrors now move automatically into the stored positions.Retrieving setting of exterior mirror for reversing*– Turn the rotary knob for the exterior mirror setting into the position
page 67
before engaging the reverse gear.
The mirror returns into its initial position , after the rotary knob is moved out of the
position
and put into another position or if the speed is more than 15 km/h.
Emergency Off
You can interrupt the setting operation at any time, if you operate any button of the
driver seat.

one out of the air outlet nozzles, depending on temperature setting.
The air inlet in the storage compartment is connected to position
through adjust-
ment of the control dial for air distribution. This position causes the maximum amount
of air to flow into the storage compartment (depending on the rotary regulator posi-

For safety reasons the lever must always be firmly pushed up to avoid the
steering wheel altering its po sition unintentionally when driving - risk of acci-
dent!
If you adjust the steering wheel furthe r towards the head, you will reduce
the protection offered by the driver airbag in the event of an accident. Check
that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.
