How to detect a tamper
condition

If ( is pressed on the radio remote
control and the horn chirps three
times, a previous alarm occurred
while the system was armed.

If the alarm has been activated, a
message will appear on the DIC
3 78.

Alarm

When triggered, the alarm sounds via
a separate battery-backed power
sounder for approx. 30 seconds and
the hazard warning lights flash
simultaneously.

If the vehicle loses battery power
when the anti-theft alarm system is
armed, the power sounder will
activate automatically.

The immobiliser is activated
automatically after the ignition is
switched off.

The system is automatically disarmed
when the vehicle is started with a valid
radio remote control located inside

the vehicle. The radio remote control
uses electronic coding that matches
an immobiliser control unit in the
vehicle and automatically deactivates
the system. Only a correct radio
remote control can be used to switch
the ignition on.

Control indicator d illuminates if
there is a problem with activating or
deactivating the immobiliser.

Note
The immobiliser does not lock the
doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on
the anti-theft alarm system 3 24,
3 28.

If the vehicle does not start and the
control indicator d stays illuminated,
there is a problem with the system.
Attempt to switch the ignition off and
try it again. If the problem persists,
seek the assistance of a workshop.

Do not leave the radio remote control
inside the vehicle.

Seat belts

The seat belts are locked during
heavy acceleration or deceleration of
the vehicle holding the occupants in
the sitting position. Thereby the risk of
injury is considerably reduced.

9 Warning

Fasten seat belt before each trip.
In the event of an accident, people

not wearing seat belts endanger
their fellow occupants and
themselves.

Seat belts are designed to be used by
only one person at a time. Child
restraint system 3 48.

Periodically check all parts of the belt
system for damage and proper
functionality.

Have damaged components
replaced. After an accident, have the
belts and triggered belt pretensioners
replaced by a workshop.

Note
Make sure that the belts are not
damaged by shoes or sharp-edged
objects or trapped. Prevent dirt from
getting into the belt retractors.

Seat belt reminder X 3 72.

Belt force limiters

On the front seats, stress on the body
is reduced by the gradual release of
the belt during a collision.

Belt pretensioners

In the event of a head-on or rear-end
collision of a certain severity, the front
seat belts are tightened.

9

Warning

Incorrect handling (e.g. removal or
fitting of belts) can trigger the belt
pretensioners.

Deployment of the belt pretensioners
is indicated by continuous illumination
of control indicator v 3 72.

Triggered belt pretensioners must be
replaced by a workshop. Belt
pretensioners can only be triggered
once.

Note
Do not affix or install accessories or
other objects that may interfere with
the operation of the belt
pretensioners. Do not make any
modifications to belt pretensioner
components as this will invalidate
the vehicle type approval.

42 Seats, restraints

Three-point seat belt

Fastening

Withdraw the belt from the retractor,
guide it untwisted across the body
and insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Tighten the lap belt regularly
whilst driving by pulling the shoulder
belt. Seat belt reminder 3 72.

Loose or bulky clothing prevents the

the seat belt from the seat‐mounted
guide before using the comfort guide.

Installation:

1. Remove the guide from its
storage clip on the interior body
trim next to the rear seat.

2. Place the guide over the belt, and
insert the two edges of the seat
belt into the slots of the guide.

3. The seat belt should not be
twisted and it should lie flat. The
elastic cord must be under the
seat belt and the guide on top.

9 Warning

A seat belt that is not properly
worn may not provide the
protection needed in a crash. The
person wearing the seat belt can
be seriously injured. The shoulder
belt should go over the shoulder

and across the chest. These parts
of the body are the best for bearing
belt restraining forces.

4. Buckle and position the seat belt
as described previously in this
section. Make sure that the
shoulder belt crosses the
shoulder.

To remove and store the comfort
guide, squeeze the seat belt edges
together so that the seat belt can be

Airbag system

The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems
depending on the scope of
equipment.

When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.

9 Warning

If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.

Note
The airbag systems and belt
pretensioner control electronics are
located in the centre console area.
Do not put any magnetic objects in
this area.

Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.

Each airbag is triggered only once.
Have deployed airbags replaced by
a workshop. Furthermore, it might be
necessary to have the steering
wheel, the instrument panel, parts of
the panelling, the door seals,
handles and the seats replaced.

Do not make any modifications to
the airbag system as this will
invalidate the vehicle type approval.

When the airbags inflate, escaping
hot gases may cause burns.

Control indicator v for airbag systems
3 72.

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.

Seats, restraints 45

Additionally there is a warning label
on the side of the instrument panel,
visible when the front passenger door
is open, or on the passenger's sun
visor.

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.

9 Warning

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

Seat position 3 37.
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 side of the front seat
backrests. 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 needs to 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.

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.

46 Seats, restraints

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 needs to
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.

Knee airbag system

The knee airbags are located below
the steering column and below the
glovebox.

With knee airbags, the word
AIRBAG will appear on the lower
portion of the instrument panel.

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

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

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

Airbag deactivation

Front airbag and knee airbag systems
for the front passenger seat must be
deactivated if a child restraint system
is to be fitted on this seat. The curtain
and side airbag systems, the belt
pretensioners and all driver airbag
systems will remain active.

Seats, restraints 47

The front passenger airbag system
can be deactivated via a key­operated switch located inside the
glovebox.

Use the ignition key to choose the
position:

W: Front passenger frontal and knee
airbags are deactivated and will not
inflate in the event of a collision.
Control indicator W illuminates
continuously. A child restraint system
can be installed in accordance with
the chart child restraint installation
locations 3 52. No adult person is
allowed to occupy the front
passenger seat.

V: Front passenger frontal and knee
airbags are active. A child restraint
system must not be installed.

9 Danger

Risk of fatal injury for a child using
a child restraint system on a seat
with activated front passenger
frontal and knee airbag.

Risk of fatal injury for an adult
person on a seat with deactivated
front passenger frontal and knee
airbag.

As long as the control indicator W is
not illuminated, the airbags for the
front passenger seat will inflate in the
event of a collision.

If both control indicators are
illuminated at the same time, there is
a system failure. Since the status of
the system is not discernible, no
person is allowed to occupy the front
passenger seat. Seek the assistance
of 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 switched
off.
