Controls Safety senger airbags lights up. This indicates that the child seat has been detected and the front pas‐ senger airbags are not activated. Strength of the driver's and front passenger airbag The strength with which the driver's and front passenger airbags are triggered depends on the position of the driver's and front passenger seats. To maintain the accuracy of this function over the long-term, calibrate the front seats when a corresponding message appears on the Control Display.
Safety Controls A change in the tire inflation pressure during driving is taken into account. The tires are shown in gray and "Resetting TPM..." is displayed. A correction is only necessary if this is indicated by the TPM After driving for a few minutes, the set tire infla‐ tion pressures are applied as set values. The re‐ setting process is completed automatically dur‐ ing driving. The tires are shown in green and "TPM active" is shown on the Control Display.
Controls Safety Do this by checking the air pressure in all four tires. If the tire inflation pressure in all four tires is correct, the Tire Pressure Monitor may not have been initialized. In this case, initialize the system. If an identification is not possible, please contact the service center. 2. Rectify the flat tire. Use of tire sealant, e.g., the Mobility System, may damage the TPM wheel electronics.
Safety ▷ A wheel without TPM electronics is fitted: have the service center check it if necessary. ▷ Malfunction: have the system checked by your service center. ▷ TPM could not be fully reset. Reset the sys‐ tem again. ▷ Disturbance by systems or devices with the same radio frequency: after leaving the area of the disturbance, the system automatically becomes active again.
Controls Safety A natural, even pressure loss in all four tires can‐ not be detected. Therefore, check the tire infla‐ tion pressure regularly. Indication of a flat tire The system could be delayed or malfunction in the following situations: There is a flat tire or a major loss in tire inflation pressure. ▷ When the system has not been initialized. The yellow warning lamp lights up. A Check Control message is displayed. ▷ When driving on a snowy or slippery road surface. 1.
Safety 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. Controls 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 con‐ tinue driving, and contact your service center.◀ 3.
Controls Safety Display ▷ When lane markings are covered in snow, ice, dirt or water. ▷ In tight curves or on narrow lanes. ▷ When the lane markings are covered by ob‐ jects. ▷ When driving very close to the vehicle in front of you. ▷ When driving toward bright lights. ▷ Lines, arrow 1: the system is activated. ▷ Arrows, arrow 2: at least one lane marking was detected and warnings can be issued.

Information stage The system indicates whether there are vehicles in the blind spot, arrow 1, or approaching from behind on the adjacent lane, arrow 2.
Controls Safety Brake force display Radar sensors The concept The radar sensors are located under the rear bumper. The system may not be fully functional in the following situations: ▷ During normal brake application, the outer brake lamps light up. ▷ Dirty or icy bumper. ▷ During heavy brake application, the inner brake lamps light up in addition. ▷ Stickers on the bumper. A Check Control message is displayed when the system is not fully functional.
Safety Controls ahead or stopped in front of you can also be de‐ tected within the system's range. Personal responsibility The system cannot serve as a substitute for the driver's personal judgment of the traffic situation. The system may not always detect critical situations reliably and in a timely manner. Adapt speed to traffic situation and drive alertly; otherwise, a risk to safety may result.

Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Things to remember when driving Do not remove the heat shields installed and never apply undercoating to them. When driv‐ ing, standing at idle and while parking, take care to avoid possible contact between the hot ex‐ haust system and any highly flammable materi‐ als such as hay, leaves, grass, etc. Such contact could lead to a fire, and with it the risk of serious personal injury as well as property damage. Do not touch hot exhaust pipes; otherwise, there is the danger of getting burned.
Driving tips Things to remember when driving In this way braking efficiency will be available when you need it. Therefore, traces of condensed water under the vehicle are normal. Hills Drive long or steep downhill gradients in the gear in which the least braking is required. Otherwise, the brake system may overheat, resulting in a reduction in the brake system efficiency.

Driving tips Loading Stowing cargo Floor net The floor net can also be used to Secure the load and to store small parts. ▷ Heavy cargo: stow as far forward and as low as possible, ideally directly behind the cargo area separating wall. ▷ Very heavy cargo: when the rear seat is not occupied, secure each of the outer safety belts in the opposite buckle. ▷ Cover sharp edges and corners. ▷ If necessary, fold down the rear backrests to stow cargo. ▷ Do not stack cargo above the top edge of the backrests.
Loading Driving tips Roof drip rail with flaps The anchorage points are located in the roof drip rail above the doors. Fold the cover outward. Loading Because roof racks raise the vehicle's center of gravity when loaded, they have a major effect on vehicle handling and steering response. Therefore, note the following when loading and driving: ▷ Do not exceed the approved roof/axle loads and the approved gross vehicle weight. ▷ Distribute the roof load uniformly.
