Sitting correctly and safely
Memory function
Airbag system
General information
General information
Applies to: vehicles with memory function
WARNING
The memory function can be used to store and
call up seat profiles via the recall buttons in the
door trim.
– If you do not wear a seat belt or sit in the
correct position, or if you are seated too
close to the airbag system, you will not be
fully protected by the airbag system. This
puts you at risk of serious or fatal injury. En-
sure that all occupants are seated in the cor-
rect position with their seat belts fastened
ðpage 70. This applies regardless of wheth-
er the seat is equipped with an airbag or
not.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, settings
such as the position of the driver's seat and the
exterior mirrors can be stored.
Storing and calling up seat profile
Applies to: vehicles with memory function
The memory function buttons are located in the
door trim.
– Never place your feet on the dashboard, out
of the windows or on the seat. To ensure
that the airbag systems can open without
obstructions, never lean forwards or lean on
the door or the side window. You could oth-
erwise sustain potentially fatal injuries if the
airbags are triggered.
Storing seat profile
SET
►
Press the
button. When the LED in the
button lights up, a seat profile can be stored.
Press one of the numbered recall buttons. A
tone will sound to confirm that the settings
have been stored.
►
– Persons, pets or objects positioned between
the airbag system and the occupant will pre-
vent the airbag system from inflating prop-
erly and could be catapulted through the ve-
hicle cabin – risk of serious or fatal injury.
Ensure that there are no objects between
the vehicle occupants and the airbag sys-
tem. Never secure or carry objects in the
area of inflation of the airbag systems, in
particular around the steering wheel, on the
dashboard, against the doors, on the win-
dows and in the footwell.
Calling up seat profile
►
If the driver’s/front passenger’s door is open
and the ignition is off, briefly press the recall
button once. All the settings for the seat profile
will be applied.
►
If the driver's/front passenger's door is closed
or the ignition is on, press and hold the recall
button until the seat profile settings have been
restored.
– Never apply stickers or other coverings to
the airbag system covers.
WARNING
– For safety reasons, never recall seat settings
when the vehicle is moving – this could lead
to an accident.
– The built-in coat hooks should only be used
for lightweight clothing. Do not use clothes
hangers to hang up clothing. Do not leave
any heavy, fragile or sharp-edged objects in
the pockets. This could otherwise interfere
with the effectiveness of the head-protec-
tion airbags.
– If necessary, the recall function can be stop-
ped at any time by pressing the seat adjust-
ment button in the door/on the display for
the relevant seat.
