Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the

ment and functions which are not installed in

Safety note
WARNING
Unsupervised children or pets in the vehicle
can set the vehicle in motion and endanger
themselves or other road users, for example by
the following actions:
▷ Pressing the start/stop button.
▷ Release the parking brake.
▷ Opening and closing doors or windows.
▷ Engaging selector lever position N.
▷ Operating vehicle equipment.
There is a risk of accidents or injury. Do not

cle. When leaving the vehicle, take the remote

WARNING
Children less than 150 cm, 5 ft in height cannot
wear the seat belt correctly without using addi‐
tional child restraint systems. The protective
function of the seat belts may be limited or may
even fail completely if the seat belts are worn
incorrectly. If a seat belt is not worn correctly,
additional injuries can be caused, for example in
the event of an accident or braking and evasive
manoeuvres. There is a danger of injury or even
death. Children smaller than 150 cm, 5 ft in
height must be secured in suitable child re‐
straint systems.
