Passenger-side mirror tilt-down

Parking position
1. Select driver's mirror with the switch
2. When position R is engaged by briefly
pressing the selector lever, the mirror on
the passenger's side is tilted down slightly.
The road surface close to the car (for
instance the kerb) is then in the driver's
field of view in the mirror, for instance while
parking the car.
This automatic function can be switched off
if not required: move the mirror changeover
switch to the position for the mirror on the
passenger's side.
The parking position function is
switched off if you are towing a
trailer.

Airbags
1
Front airbags for the driver and front
passenger
2
Head-level airbags at front and rear
*
3
Side airbags at front and rear
*
Airbags are located under covers in the
steering wheel, in the instrument panel, in
the front and rear
*
door trims, and on the
door posts and the sides of the roof lining.
Protective effect
The front airbags protect the occupants of
the front seats in the event of a head-on
collision where the restraining effect of the
seat belts alone would no longer be
adequate. The head and side airbags
provide protection in the event of a side-on
collision. The side airbag on the side of the
car that is struck supports the side of the
thorax, and the head-level airbag on that
side supports the head and provides
protection against intruding objects.
In more minor accidents, certain roll-
over situations and rear-end colli-
sions, the airbags will not be triggered off.
<
Even if all these instructions are complied
with, injury to the face, arms or hands as a
result of the airbag inflating cannot be
entirely ruled out, depending on the
circumstances in which an accident
occurs. Occupants with sensitive hearing
may be subject to brief, temporary
impaired hearing caused by the ignition
and inflation noise.
Important safety instructions
Never attach any material to the
airbag covers with adhesive, place
material over them or modify them in any
way.
Do not dismantle the airbag occupant
