Occupant safety 40 Useful information i This Operator's Manual describes all Safety models and all standard and optional equipment of your vehicle available at the time of publication of the Operator's Manual. Country-specific differences are possible. Please note that your vehicle may not be equipped with all features described. This also applies to safety-related systems and functions. i Read the information on qualified specialist workshops (Y page 26).
Occupant safety Introduction Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with: RThe 6 SRS warning lamp bags RAir bag control unit (with crash sensors) REmergency Tensioning Device (ETD) for seat belts RSeat belt force limiters SRS reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. It can also reduce the forces to which vehicle occupants are subjected during an accident.
Safety 42 Occupant safety cover, outer sides of the seat backrests, door trim panels, or door frame trims. RDo not install additional electrical/electronic equipment on or near SRS components and wiring. RKeep area between air bags and occupants free of objects (e.g. packages, purses, umbrellas, etc.). RDo not hang items such as coat hangers from the coat hooks or handles over the door.
generally does not constitute a health hazard and does not indicate that there is a fire in the vehicle. In order to prevent potential breathing difficulties, you should leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. If you have any breathing difficulty but cannot get out of the vehicle after the air bag inflates, then get fresh air by opening a window or door.
Safety 44 Occupant safety In the event of other types of impacts and impacts below air bag deployment thresholds, the air bags will not deploy. The driver and passenger will then be protected to the extent possible by a properly fastened seat belt. A properly fastened seat belt is also needed to provide the best possible protection in a rollover. Air bags provide additional protection; they are not, however, a substitute for seat belts.
Driver's knee bag The driver's knee bag increases protection of the driver against: Rknee injuries injuries Rlower leg injuries Rthigh Driver's knee bag : deploys under the steering column. If, during a frontal collision, the system determines that air bag deployment can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belt, driver's knee bag : is deployed along with the driver's air bag. Driver's knee bag : operates best in conjunction with correctly positioned and fastened seat belts.
46 Occupant safety Rindependently of the use of the seat belt of the front air bags Rindependently of the ETDs Side impact air bags will not deploy in side impacts which do not exceed the system's preset deployment thresholds for lateral acceleration/deceleration. You will then be protected by the fastened seat belt. The side impact air bag on the frontpassenger side is not deployed in the following situations: Safety Rindependently ROCS has detected that the front-passenger seat is unoccupied.
Occupant safety 47 Rthe window curtain air bag Emergency Tensioning Devices To be classified correctly, the front passenger must sit: Rwith the seat belt fastened correctly a position that is as upright as possible with their back against the seat backrest Rwith their feet on the floor The OCS weight sensor reading is affected if the occupant's weight is transferred, e.g. by leaning on the armrest.
Safety 48 Occupant safety remain illuminated. This indicates that the front passenger front air bag is deactivated. When the OCS senses that the front passenger seat is classified as being empty, the 45 indicator lamp will illuminate when the engine is started and remain illuminated. This indicates that the front passenger front air bag is deactivated.
Occupant safety If the driver's air bag deploys, this does not mean that the front-passenger front air bag will also deploy. The OCS may have detected that the seat: Ris empty or occupied by the weight of a typical child up to twelve months old, seated in a child restraint system. Ris occupied by a small individual, such as a young teenager or a small adult. Ris occupied by a child in a child restraint system whose weight is greater than that of a typical twelve month old child.
50 Occupant safety In order to ensure proper operation of the air bag system and OCS: Safety RSit with the seat belt properly fastened in a position that is as upright as possible with your back against the seat backrest. RWhen seated, a passenger should not position him/herself in such a way as to cause the passenger's weight to be lifted from the seat cushion as this may result in the OCS being unable to correctly approximate the passenger's weight category.
Occupant safety 51 Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lights up and remains on. The person on the front-passenger seat: The OCS is malfunctioning. X Make sure that the front passenger is sitting in a correct, upright position. X Have the OCS checked as soon as possible at a qualified specialist workshop. X Observe the additional display messages in the multifunction display (Y page 215).
52 Occupant safety Safety G WARNING If the 45 indicator lamp does not illuminate or remains out with the weight of a typical 12month-old child in a standard child restraint or less, or is unoccupied, on the front-passenger seat, do not transport a child on the front-passenger seat until the system has been repaired. PRE-SAFE® (anticipatory occupant protection system) Introduction PRE-SAFE® takes preemptive measures to protect occupants in certain hazardous situations.
Occupant safety The function of the head restraint may be impaired if you: Rattach objects such as coat hangers to the head restraints, for example Ruse head restraint covers If you do so, the head restraints cannot fulfill their intended protective function in the event of an accident. In addition, objects attached to the head restraints could endanger other vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk of injury. Do not attach any objects to the head restraints and do not use head restraint covers.
54 Occupant safety i See "Children in the vehicle" Safety (Y page 58) for further information on infants and children traveling in the vehicle as well as on child restraint systems. G WARNING 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.
In a frontal crash, your body would move too far forward. That would increase the chance of head and neck injuries. The seat belt would also apply too much force to the ribs or abdomen, which could severely injure internal organs such as your liver or spleen. Adjust the seat belt so that the shoulder section is located as close as possible to the middle of the shoulder. It should not touch the neck. Never pass the shoulder portion of the seat belt under your arm.
Occupant safety 56 The belt strap is tightened slightly when: Safety Rthe Adjust the seat and move the backrest to an almost vertical position (Y page 94). X Pull the seat belt smoothly through belt sash guide :. X Without twisting it, guide the shoulder section of the seat belt across the middle of your shoulder and the lap section across your pelvis. X Engage belt tongue ; in buckle =.
Occupant safety Belt warning for the driver and front passenger Regardless of whether the driver's and frontpassenger seat belts have already been fastened, the 7 seat belt warning lamp lights up for six seconds each time the engine is started. It then goes out if the driver and the front passenger have already fastened their seat belts. If the driver's seat belt is not fastened when the engine is started, an additional warning tone will sound.
58 Children in the vehicle The ETDs can only be activated when: Safety Rthe ignition is switched on Rthe restraint systems are operational; see "SRS warning lamp "(Y page 41) Rthe belt tongue is engaged in the buckle on each of the lap-shoulder belts in the front Rthe front-passenger seat is occupied and the belt tongue is engaged in the buckle on the front-passenger side The ETDs on the seats in the rear compartment are triggered independently of the lock status of the seat belts.
possible. Regardless of seating position, children 12 years old and under must be seated and properly secured in an appropriate infant restraint, toddler restraint, or booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. The infant or child restraint must be properly secured with the vehicle's seat belt, the seat belt and top tether strap, or lower anchors and top tether strap, fully in accordance with the child seat manufacturer's instructions.
60 Children in the vehicle Safety designed for them. Only replace damaged covers with genuine covers. G WARNING If the child restraint system is installed incorrectly or is not secured, it can come loose in the event of an accident, heavy braking or a sudden change in direction. The child restraint system could be thrown about, striking vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal. Always install child restraint systems properly, even if they are not being used.
G WARNING Activating the special seat belt retractor: If the child restraint system is subjected to direct sunlight, parts may get very hot. Children may burn themselves on these parts, particularly on the metal parts of the child restraint system. There is a risk of injury. If you leave the vehicle, taking the child with you, always ensure that the child restraint system is not exposed to direct sunlight. Protect it with a blanket, for example.
Safety 62 Children in the vehicle Install the child restraint system in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Attach the child restraint system to both securing rings. An incorrectly installed child restraint system could come loose during an accident and seriously or even fatally injure the child. Child restraint systems or child seat securing rings that are malfunctioning or damaged as the result of a collision must be replaced.
Driving safety systems 63 As a result, they could: Install the LATCH-type (ISOFIX) child restraint system with Top Tether. Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions when doing so. X Top Tether belt with one belt strap: route Top Tether belt A centrally over head restraint :. or X Top Tether belt with two belt straps: route one Top Tether belt A to the left and one to the right past the side of head restraint :.
64 Driving safety systems Safety i The driving safety systems described only work as effectively as possible when there is adequate contact between the tires and the road surface. Please pay special attention to the notes on tires, recommended minimum tire tread depths, etc. (Y page 302). In wintry driving conditions, always use winter tires (M+S tires) and if necessary, snow chains.

Driving systems Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the driver. It might not always recognize fatigue or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to recognize them at all. The system is not a substitute for a well-rested and attentive driver. ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long, monotonous journeys, such as on highways. It is active in the range between 50 mph (80 km/h) and 112 mph (180 km/h).
Driving and parking 180 Driving systems approximately 20 mph (30 km/h). A warning display in the exterior mirrors draws your attention to vehicles detected in the monitored area. If you then switch on the corresponding turn signal to change lanes, you will also receive a visual and audible collision warning. Blind Spot Assist uses sensors in the rear bumper for monitoring purposes. For Blind Spot Assist to assist you, the radar sensor system must be operational.
Due to the nature of the system: Rwarnings may be issued in error when driv- ing close to crash barriers or similar solid lane borders. Rthe warning is canceled when driving for an extended period next to long vehicles, such as trucks. The two radar sensors for Blind Spot Assist are integrated into the sides of the rear bumper. Make sure that the bumper is free of dirt, ice or slush in the vicinity of the sensors. The sensors must not be covered, for example by cycle racks or overhanging loads.
Driving and parking 182 Driving systems G WARNING The Lane Keeping Assist warning does not return the vehicle to the original lane. There is a risk of an accident. You should always steer, brake or accelerate yourself, in particular if warned by Lane Keeping Assist. : Active Lane Keeping Assist camera If you select km on the on-board computer in the Display Unit Speed-/Odometer function (Y page 201), Lane Keeping Assist is active starting at a speed of 60 km/h.
