When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle.
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in
motion. This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always make sure that the driver's seat is
engaged before starting the vehicle.
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, steering wheel
or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors and fasten your seat belt before
starting the engine.
GWARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
GWARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved
the backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdomen or neck injuries, for
example. This poses an increased risk of
injury or even fatal injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the back-
rest is in an almost vertical position and
that the shoulder section of your seat belt
is routed across the center of your shoul-
der.

(
Ypage 34) and "Children in the vehicle"
(Ypage 42).
!To avoid damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following informa-
tion:
Rkeep liquids from spilling on the seats.
If liquid is spilled on the seats, dry them
as soon as possible.
Rif the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. The seat heat- ing should also not be used to dry the
seats.
Rclean the seat covers as recommended;
see the "Interior care" section.
Rdo not transport heavy loads on the seats.
Do not place sharp objects on the seat
cushions, e.g. knives, nails or tools. The seats should only be occupied by passen-
gers, if possible.

Folding back
GWARNING
If the seat backrest is not engaged, it may
fold forwards, e.g. during braking or in the event of an accident.
RAs a result, a backrest which is not
engaged would press you into the seat
belt. The seat belt can no longer offer the
intended level of protection and can even
cause injuries.
RThe backrest cannot restrain objects or
loads in the trunk.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the
backrest is engaged as described.

GWARNING
Fuel is poisonous and hazardous to health.
There is a risk of injury.
You must make sure that fuel does not come
into contact with your skin, eyes or cloth-
ing and that it is not swallowed. Do not
inhale fuel vapors. Keep fuel away from
children.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistance
without delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induce vom-
iting.
RImmediately change out of clothing
which has come into contact with fuel.
GWARNING
Electrostatic buildup can create sparks
and ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of
fire and explosion.
Always touch the vehicle body before open-
ing the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel
pump nozzle. Any existing electrostatic
buildup is thereby discharged.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the
refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again.
!Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasoline engine. Do not switch on the igni-
tion if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. Notify a quali- fied specialist workshop and have the fuel
tank and fuel lines drained completely.
!Overfilling the fuel tank could damage
the fuel system.
!Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
!Use a filter when refueling from a fuel
can. Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or
injection system could be blocked by par-
ticles from the fuel can.
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray
out when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.
