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 58.
Otherwise, there is a risk of fatal

injury for a person occupying a

seat with a deactivated front

passenger airbag.

As long as the control indicator * is

not illuminated, the front passenger

airbag system will inflate in the event

of a collision.
If control indicators * and v 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.
Change status only when the vehicle

When a child restraint system is being

used, pay attention to the following

usage and installation instructions

and also those supplied with the child

restraint system.

56

Seats, restraints

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

Three-point seat belt

Child restraint systems can be

fastened by using a three-point seat

belt 3 46.
Depending on the size of the used

child restraint systems and the model

variant, child restraint systems can be

attached to certain 2nd row seats

3

 58.

ISOFIX brackets

ISOFIX mounting brackets are

indicated by ISOFIX labels on the

backrest.

Fasten vehicle-approved ISOFIX

child restraint systems to the ISOFIX

mounting brackets.
When using ISOFIX mounting

brackets for seat mounting,

universally approved child restraint

systems for ISOFIX may be used.
A Top-Tether strap must be used in

addition to the ISOFIX mounting

brackets.
Permissible mounting location

positions for ISOFIX  child restraint

systems are marked in the tables by

<

, IL and IUF.

Top-tether anchors

Top-tether anchors are located on the

back of the 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 58.

Selecting the right system

The rear seats are the most

convenient location to fasten a child

restraint system.

Seats, restraints

57

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.
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.

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

● The payload is the difference

between the permitted gross

vehicle weight (see identification

plate 3 181) 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 (which

includes the weight of the roof

rack) is 100 kg. The roof load is

the combined weight of the roof

rack and the load.
