Beyond the warning required by
ECE R94.02, for safety reasons a
forward-facing child restraint system
must only be used subject to the
instructions and restrictions in the
table 3 68.

The airbag label is located on both
sides of the front passenger sun visor.

Airbag deactivation 3 64.

Seats, restraints 63

Front airbag system

The front airbag system consists of
one airbag in the steering wheel and
one in the instrument panel on the
front passenger side. These can be
identified by the word AIRBAG.

The front airbag system is triggered in
the event of a front-end impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and head of
the front seat occupants
considerably.

Warning

9

Optimum protection is only
provided when the seat is in the
proper position.

Seat position 3 48.
Keep the area in which the airbag

inflates clear of obstructions.
Fit the seat belt correctly and

engage securely. Only then is the
airbag able to protect.

Side airbag system

The side airbag system consists of an
airbag in each front seat backrest.
This can be identified by the word
AIRBAG.

The side airbag system is triggered in
the event of a side impact of a certain
severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the upper body and pelvis in
the event of a side-on collision
considerably.

64 Seats, restraints

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

Note
Only use protective seat covers that
have been approved for the vehicle.
Be careful not to cover the airbags.

Curtain airbag system

The curtain airbag system consists of
an airbag in the roof frame on each
side. This can be identified by the
word AIRBAG on the roof pillars.

The curtain airbag system is triggered
in the event of a side-on impact of a
certain severity. The ignition must be
switched on.

The inflated airbags cushion the
impact, thereby reducing the risk of
injury to the head in the event of a
side-on impact considerably.

9 Warning

Keep the area in which the airbag
inflates clear of obstructions.

The hooks on the handles in the
roof frame are only suitable for
hanging up light articles of
clothing, without coat hangers. Do
not keep any items in these
clothes.

Airbag deactivation

The front passenger airbag system
must be deactivated for child restraint
system on the passenger seat
according to the instructions in the
table 3 68. The side airbag and
curtain airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.

The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key­operated switch on the passenger
side of the instrument panel.

9 Danger

Deactivate passenger airbag only
in combination with the use of a
child restraint system, subject to
the instructions and restrictions in
the table 3 68.

Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal
injury for a person occupying a
seat with a deactivated front
passenger airbag.

Status remains until the next change.
Control indicator for airbag

deactivation 3 109.

If the control indicator V illuminates
for approx. 60 seconds after the
ignition is switched on, the front
passenger airbag system will inflate
in the event of a collision.

If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. The status of the
system is not discernible, therefore
no person is allowed to occupy the
front passenger seat. Contact a
workshop immediately.

Consult a workshop immediately if
neither of the two control indicators
are illuminated.

Change status only when the vehicle
is stopped with the ignition off.

Child restraints

Child restraint systems

9 Danger

If using a rear-facing child restraint
system on the front passenger
seat, the airbag system for the
front passenger seat must be
deactivated. This also applies to
certain forward-facing child
restraint systems as indicated in
the tables 3 68.

Airbag deactivation 3 64.
Airbag label 3 59.
We recommend a child restraint

system which is tailored specifically to
the vehicle. For further information,
contact your workshop.

When a child restraint system is being
used, pay attention to the following
usage and installation instructions as
well as to those supplied with the child
restraint system.

Always comply with local or national
regulations. In some countries, the
use of child restraint systems is
forbidden on certain seats.

Child restraint systems can be
fastened with:

● Three-point seat belt

● ISOFIX brackets

● Top-tether anchor

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be
fastened by using a three-point seat
belt. Depending on the size of the
used child restraint systems, up to
three child restraint systems can be
attached to the rear seats. After
fastening the child restraint system
the seat belt has to be
tightened3 68.

ISOFIX brackets

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX
child restraint systems to the ISOFIX
mounting brackets. Specific vehicle
ISOFIX child restraint system
positions are marked in the ISOFIX
table 3 68.

ISOFIX mounting brackets are
indicated by a label on the backrest.

An i-size child restraint system is an
universal ISOFIX child restraint
system according UN Regulation No.

129.
All i-size child restraint systems can

be used on any vehicle seat suitable
for i-size, i-size table 3 68.

Seats, restraints 67

Either a Top-tether strap or a support
leg must be used in addition to the
ISOFIX mounting brackets.

i-size child seats and vehicle seats
with i-size approval are marked with
i-size symbol, see illustration.

Top-tether anchors

Top-tether anchors are marked with
the symbol : for a child seat.

In addition to the ISOFIX mounting
brackets, fasten the Top-tether strap
to the Top-tether anchors.

ISOFIX child restraint systems of
universal category positions are
marked in the table by IUF 3 68.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most
convenient location to fasten a child
restraint system.

Children should travel facing
rearwards in the vehicle as long as
possible. This makes sure that the
child's backbone, which is still very
weak, is under less strain in the event
of an accident.

Suitable are restraint systems that
comply with valid UN ECE
regulations. Check local laws and
regulations for mandatory use of child
restraint systems.

The following child restraints are
recommended for the following
weight classes:

Maxi Cosi Cabriofix for children up to
13 kg for group 0, group 0+ and Duo
Plus for children from 13 kg to 18 kg
in group I.

Ensure that the child restraint system
to be installed is compatible with the
vehicle type.

Ensure that the mounting location of
the child restraint system within the
vehicle is correct, see following
tables.

Allow children to enter and exit the
vehicle only on the side facing away
from the traffic.

When the child restraint system is not
in use, secure the seat with a seat belt
or remove it from the vehicle.

Note
Do not affix anything on the child
restraint systems and do not cover
them with any other materials.

A child restraint system which has
been subjected to stress in an
accident must be replaced.

points in the door frames
exclusively.

Loading information

● Heavy objects in the load
compartment should be placed
against the seat backrests. Make
sure that the backrests are
securely engaged, i.e. no longer
showing the red markings on the
side near the release lever. If
objects can be stacked, heavier
objects should be placed at the
bottom.

● Prevent sliding of loose objects
by securing them with straps
attached to the lashing eyes
3 82.

90 Storage

● Do not allow the load to protrude
above the upper edge of the
backrests.

● Sports Tourer: install safety net
when transporting objects in the
load compartment.

● Do not place any objects on the
load compartment cover or the
instrument panel, and do not
cover the sensor on top of the
instrument panel.

● The load must not obstruct the
operation of the pedals, parking
brake and gear selector lever, or
hinder the freedom of movement
of the driver. Do not place any
unsecured objects in the interior.

● Do not drive with an open load
compartment.

9 Warning

Always make sure that the load in
the vehicle is securely stowed.
Otherwise objects can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and
cause personal injury or damage
to the load or car.

● The payload is the difference
between the permitted gross
vehicle weight (see identification
plate 3 282) and the EC kerb
weight.

To calculate the payload, enter
the data for your vehicle in the
weights table at the front of this
manual.

The EC kerb weight includes
weights for the driver (68 kg),
luggage (7 kg) and all fluids (fuel
tank 90% full).

Optional equipment and
accessories increase the kerb
weight.

● Driving with a roof load increases
the sensitivity of the vehicle to
cross-winds and has a
detrimental effect on vehicle
handling due to the vehicle's
higher centre of gravity.
Distribute the load evenly and
secure it properly with retaining
straps. Adjust the tyre pressure
and vehicle speed according to
the load conditions. Check and
retighten the straps frequently.

Do not drive faster than
120 km/h.

The permissible roof load is
75 kg. The roof load is the
combined weight of the roof rack
and the load.
