Vehicle equipment

In this chapter, all production, country, and

optional equipment that is offered in the model

range is described. Equipment is also described

that is not available because of, for example,

selected options or country version. This also

applies to safety related functions and systems.

Sitting safely

The ideal sitting position can make a vital contri-

bution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In con-

junction with the safety belts, the head restraints

and the airbags, the seated position has a major

influence on your safety in the event of an acci-

dent. To ensure that the safety systems operate

with optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to

observe the instructions contained in the follow-

ing section.

For additional information on transporting chil-

dren safely, refer to page 44.

Airbags

Always maintain an adequate distance

between yourself and the airbags. Always

grip the steering wheel on the rim, with your

hands in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, to

minimize the risk of injury to the hands or arms

in the event of the airbag being deployed.

No one and nothing should come between the

airbags and the seat occupant.

Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the

front passenger side as a storage area. Ensure

that the front passenger is correctly seated, e.g.

that no feet or legs are propped against the

dashboard. Otherwise, leg injury could result if

the front airbag suddenly deployed.

Make sure that passengers keep their heads

away from the side airbag and do not lean

against the cover of the head airbag; otherwise

injuries can occur when the airbags are

deployed.<

Even if you follow all the instructions, injuries

resulting from contact with airbags cannot be

fully excluded, depending on the circumstances.

The ignition and inflation noise may provoke a

mild hearing loss in extremely sensitive individ-

uals. This effect is usually only temporary.

For airbag locations as well as additional infor-

mation, refer to page 78.

Head restraint

A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the

risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.

Adjust the head restraint in such a way

that its center is at approx. ear level. Oth-

erwise, there is an increased risk of injury in the

event of an accident.<

Head restraints, refer to page 40.

Safety belt

Before every drive, make sure that all occupants

wear their safety belts. Airbags complement the

safety belt as an additional safety device, but

they do not represent a substitute.

Number of safety belts

Never allow more than one person to

wear a single safety belt. Never allow

infants or small children to ride in a passenger's

lap.

Make sure that the belt in the lap area sits low

across the hips and does not press against the

abdomen. The safety belt must not rest against

the throat, run across sharp edges, pass over

hard or fragile objects or be pinched. Fasten the

safety belt so that it is pulled taut across the lap

and shoulder, fitting the body snugly without

any twists. Otherwise, the belt could slide over

the hips in the event of a frontal collision and

injure the abdomen. Avoid wearing bulky cloth-
