Storing a parking position
To make it easier to park, you can store the
front-passenger side exterior mirror position
in such a way that you can see the rear wheel
on that side as soon as you engage reverse
gear.
You can store a parking position for the exte-
rior mirror on the front-passenger side using
the memory button.
You will find information about using the exte-
rior mirror's parking position in the "Parking
aid" section (
Y
page 67).

Seat belts
Seat belts are the most effective means of
restraining the movement of vehicle occu-
pants in the event of an accident. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with the vehicle interior.
Wearing seat belts
G
Risk of injury
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or
which has not been engaged in the seat belt
buckle correctly, cannot perform its inten-
ded protective function. Under certain cir-
cumstances this could cause severe or
even fatal injuries.
Make sure that all occupants – in particular,
pregnant women – wear their seat belt cor-
rectly at all times.
R
The seat belt must pass closely over your
body and must not be twisted. You
should therefore avoid wearing bulky
clothing (e.g. a winter coat). The shoulder
belt section must be routed across the
middle of your shoulder – on no account
across your neck or under your arm – and
pulled tight against your upper body. The
lap belt must always pass across your lap
