Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country specifi‐
cation. This also applies to safety-relevant func‐
tions and systems. Please comply with the
relevant laws and regulations when using the
corresponding functions and systems.
Important considerations
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
leave children or pets unsupervised in the vehi‐
cle. When leaving the vehicle, take the remote
control with you and lock the vehicle.
Children always in the rear seats
General
Accident research has shown that the safest
place for children is on the rear seat.
Children younger than 12 years old or less than
150 cm, 5 ft in height are only allowed to be
transported in the rear using child restraint sys‐
tems appropriate for their age, weight and stat‐
ure. Children older than 12 years must be se‐
cured with a seat belt as soon as a suitable child
restraint system is no longer appropriate due to
their age, weight and stature.
Safety note
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.
Not for Australia/New Zealand:
Children on the front passenger
seat
General
When using a child restraint system on the front
passenger seat, make sure that the front and
side airbags on the passenger side are deactiva‐
ted. Front passenger airbags can only be deacti‐
vated with the key switch for front passenger air‐
bags, see page
