Therefore, it also describes equipment that may not be found in your vehicle, for instance due to the selected special equipment or the country version. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems. Knee airbag The knee airbag supports the legs in a frontal impact.
Safety ▷ Do not place slip covers, seat cushions or other objects on the front passenger seat that are not approved specifically for seats with integrated side airbags. ▷ Do not hang pieces of clothing, such as jackets, over the backrests. ▷ Make sure that passengers do not lean their heads against the side airbag; other‐ wise, serious injuries could result if the air‐ bag suddenly deployed. ▷ Do not remove the airbag restraint system. ▷ Do not remove the steering wheel.
Controls Safety Status of passenger airbags The indicator lamp for the front passenger air‐ bags indicates the operating status of the front and side airbags on the front passenger side depending on the seat occupation. The indica‐ tor lamp shows whether the passenger airbags are activated or deactivated. ▷ The indicator lamp lights up when a child who is properly seated in a child restraint system intended for that purpose is de‐ tected on the seat or the seat is empty.
Safety wise, reliable signaling of a flat tire is not en‐ sured. Initialize the system after each correc‐ tion of the tire inflation pressure and after every tire or wheel change. System limits Sudden tire damage Sudden serious tire damage caused by external influences cannot be indicated in ad‐ vance.◀ A natural, even pressure loss in all four tires cannot be detected. The system could be delayed or malfunction in the following situations: ▷ When the system has not been initialized.
Controls Safety If an identification is not possible, please contact the service center. 2. Rectify the flat tire. Run-flat tires You can continue driving with a damaged tire at speeds up to 50 mph/80 km/h. Continued driving with a flat tire If continuing to drive with a damaged tire: 1. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2. Do not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h. 3. Check the air pressure in all four tires at the next opportunity.
Safety Always use wheels with TPM electronics to ensure that the system will operate properly. Controls Possible reasons for this: ▷ TPM is being reset.

Controls Safety Low tire pressure message The warning lights come on in yellow and red. A message appears on the Control Display. In addition, a signal sounds. ▷ There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire in‐ flation pressure. ▷ The system was not reset. The system therefore issues warnings in case of devia‐ tions from the tire inflation pressures stored last. 1. Reduce your speed and stop cautiously. Avoid sudden braking and steering maneu‐ vers. 2.
Safety A loss of tire inflation pressure results in a change in the handling characteristics, e.g., re‐ duced lane stability during braking, a longer braking distance and altered self-steering properties.◀ Final tire failure Vibrations or loud noises while driving can indicate the final failure of the tire. Reduce speed and stop; otherwise, pieces of the tire could come loose and cause an accident. Do not continue driving, and contact your service center.

Therefore, it also describes equipment that may not be found in your vehicle, for instance due to the selected special equipment or the country version. This also applies to safety-related functions and systems.
Things to remember when driving Closing the trunk lid Drive with the trunk lid closed Only operate the vehicle with the trunk lid closed; otherwise, exhaust fumes could en‐ ter the passenger compartment.◀ If the vehicle must be driven with the trunk lid open: 1. Close all windows. Driving tips Hydroplaning On wet or slushy roads, a wedge of water can form between the tires and road surface. This phenomenon is referred to as hydroplan‐ ing.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving Objects in the area around the pedals No objects in the area around the pedals Keep floor mats, carpets, and any other objects out of the area of motion of the pedals; otherwise, the function of the pedals could be impeded while driving Do not place additional floor mats over existing mats or other objects. Only use floor mats that have been approved for the vehicle and can be properly fixed in place.
Things to remember when driving inside the tires. This could result in a sudden loss of tire inflation pressure.◀ Secure heavy objects Never transport unsecured heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment, as they could be thrown around and pose a safety haz‐ ard to the vehicle's occupants during abrupt braking or evasive maneuvers.◀ No fluids in the cargo area Make sure that fluids do not leak into the cargo area; otherwise, the vehicle may be dam‐ aged.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as low as possible, ideally directly behind the cargo area separating wall. Adhere to the information included with the cargo straps. ▷ Cover sharp edges and corners. Lashing eyes on the rear storage shelf Loading with the hardtop open Top: Before opening the hardtop, fold down the cargo area partition and make sure the cargo area is loaded correctly; otherwise, parts of the hardtop could be damaged.
Things to remember when driving Remove attached parts following use Remove auxiliary mirrors or rear-mounted lug‐ gage racks after use. Attached parts on the vehicle impair the aero‐ dynamics and increase the fuel consumption. Close both windows An open window causes higher air resistance and thus increases fuel consumption. Tires General information Driving tips When accelerating, shift up before reaching high engine speeds.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving Switch off any functions that are not currently needed Functions such as the automatic climate con‐ trol require a large amount of energy and con‐ sume additional fuel, especially in city and stop-and-go traffic. Therefore, switch off these functions if they are not actually needed. Have maintenance carried out Have vehicles maintained regularly to achieve optimal vehicle economy and operating life.
