Front seats  
WARNING (Continued)  
Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get be-  
hind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then no  
longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.  
Basic information  
The front seats have a wide range of different settings and can thus be matched  
to the physical characteristics of the driver and front passenger.  
Do not transport any objects on the front passenger seat except objects  
(e.g. child safety seat) provided for this purpose - risk of accident!  
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for:  
Adjusting the front seats  
safely and quickly reaching the controls,  
a relaxed, fatigue-free body position,  
achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag  
system.  
WARNING  
Never transport more occupants than the maximum seating in the vehicle.  
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.  
Children must be fastened ⇒ꢀpage 166, Transporting children safely with a  
suitable restraint system.  
Fig. 56 Controls at seat  
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match  
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be  
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your  
occupants.

and push the seat further until the lock is heard to en-  
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces  
of the seats. This is particularly important for the front seat passenger. You  
will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes necessary to apply the  
brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is deployed, you may suffer  
fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated position!  
Adjusting height of seat

Lower the seat if required by pushing or pumping lever  
downwards.  
It is important for the driver and front passenger to maintain a distance of  
at least 25 cm from the steering wheel or dash panel. Not maintaining this  
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-  
ly protect you - hazard! The front seats and the head restraints must always  
also be correctly adjusted to match the body size of the occupant.

The belts and the belt locks must be in their original position after folding  
back the seat backrests - they must be ready to use.  
The seat backrests must be securely interlocked in position so that no ob-  
jects in the luggage compartment can slide into the passenger compartment if  
there is sudden braking - risk of injury!  
Note  
In order to achieve a loading space as horizontal as possible, the rear head re-  
straints can be removed before folding the seat backrests forwards. Store the re-  
moved head restraints in such a way that they cannot be damaged or soiled.  
Pay attention that the seat backrests are correctly interlocked. It is only  
then that the three-point seat belt for the middle seat can reliably fulfil its  
function.  
Before folding the seat backrest back into the secure position, place the  
rear lateral seat belt behind the edge of the side trim panel. Take suitable  
measures to prevent that the seat belt is jammed between the seat backrest  
and the side trim panel and is thus damaged.  
1)  
If the front seats are too far back, we recommend that you have the rear head restraints removed  
before the seat backrests are folded forward, in order to achieve a loading space as horizontal as  
possible. Store the removed head restraints in such a way that they cannot be damaged or soiled.

Rear seat armrest  
With repeated pressing of the switch, the intensity of the heating is down-  
regulated up to the switch-off. The intensity of the heating is indicated by the  
number of illuminated warning lights in the switch.  
WARNING  
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,  
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),  
we recommend not to use the seat heating. This can lead to burns on the  
back, the posterior and the legs which are difficult to heal. If the seat heating  
is used, we recommend to make regular breaks in your journey when driving  
long distances, so that in specific cases as mentioned above the body can re-  
cuperate from the stress of the journey. Please consult your doctor, who can  
evaluate your specific condition.  
Fig. 63 Rear seats: Armrest  
You can fold down the armrest to enhance occupant comfort ⇒ꢀfig. 63.  
CAUTION  
Seat heaters  
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific  
points in order to avoid damaging the heating elements of the seat heaters.  
Do not use the seat heating if the seats are not occupied by persons or if ob-  
jects are fastened or stored on them, for example a child seat, a bag etc. A fault of  
the heating elements in the seat heating can occur.  
Do not clean the seats moist ⇒ꢀpage 193.  
Note  
The seat heating should only be switched on when the engine is running. This  
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.  
If the on-board voltage drops, the seat heating is switched off automatically,  
in order to provide sufficient electrical energy for the engine control ⇒ꢀpage 208,

Ventilated front seats  
Note  
The ventilation should only be switched on when the engine is running. This  
has a significant effect of saving on the battery capacity.  
We do not recommend you use the front seat ventilation and heating at the  
same time. Using the ventilation to cool the seat surface considerably reduces the  
heating capacity, at the same time affecting the ability of the control unit to de-  
tect the right seat surface temperature.  
luggage compartment  
Fig. 65 Rocker switch: seat ventilation  
Loading the luggage compartment  
You can remove heat and condensation from the seat cushions and seat backr-  
ests on the front seats.  
Please observe the following in the interest of having good handling characteris-  
tics of your vehicle:  
The ventilation is operated using the rocker switch ⇒ꢀfig. 65 in the front part of  
the seat cushion, in front of the seat control elements.  
Distribute the items of luggage as evenly as possible.  
Place heavy objects as far forward as possible.  
Attach the items of luggage to the lashing eyes or the fixing net ⇒ꢀpage 80.  
Thew ventilation of the front seat is switch on by toggling the rocker switch

into position  
- lower intensity, or position  
- higher intensity.  
To switch off the ventilation shift the rocker switch into the horizontal posi-  
tion.  
In the event of an accident, there is such a high kinetic energy which is produced  
by small and light objects that they can cause severe injuries. The magnitude of  
the kinetic energy depends on the speed at which the vehicle is travelling and on  
the weight of the object. The speed at which the vehicle is travelling is in this case  
the more significant factor.  
WARNING  
If, as an occupant, you have a subdued pain and/or temperature sensitivity,  
e.g. through medication, paralysis or because of chronic illness (e.g. diabetes),  
we recommend you consult your physician before using the ventilated front  
seat.  
Example: In the event of a frontal collision at a speed of 50 km/h, an unsecured  
object with a weight of 4.5 kg produces an energy, which corresponds to 20 times  
its own weight. This means that it results in a weight of approx. 90 kg. You can  
imagine the injuries that can occur, if this “bullet” is flying through the interior  
compartment and hits an occupant.  
£
CAUTION  
You should not kneel on the seats or otherwise apply pressure at specific  
points in order to avoid damaging the electronic seat elements or the fan.  
The fan is located underneath the front seat cushion. Do not put any objects in  
this area- may cause damage to the fan.  
Do not clean the seats moist ⇒ꢀpage 193.

WARNING  
Fastening elements  
Store the objects in the luggage compartment and attach them to the  
lashing eyes.  
Loose objects in the passenger compartment can be thrown forward dur-  
ing a sudden manoeuvre or in case of an accident and can injure the occupants  
or other oncoming traffic. This risk is still increased, if the objects which are  
flying around are hit by a deployed airbag. In this case, the objects which are  
thrown back can injure the occupants - hazard.  
Please note that the handling properties of your vehicle may be affected  
when transporting heavy objects as a result of the displacement of the centre  
of gravity. The speed and style of driving must be adjusted accordingly.  
Fig. 66 Luggage compartment: Lashing eyes and fastening elements (Superb/Combi)  
The items carried in the luggage compartment should be stored in such a  
way that no objects are able to slip forward if there are any sudden driving or  
braking manoeuvres undertaken - risk of injury!  
Eyes and fastening elements are located on the sides of the luggage compart-  
ment for securing the items of luggage ⇒ꢀfig. 66.  
You can also attach a floor fixing net to these lashing eyes for holding small ob-  
jects.  
Never drive with the boot lid fully opened or slightly ajar otherwise ex-  
haust gases may get into the interior of the vehicle - risk of poisoning!  
On no account exceed the permissible axle loads and the permissible gross  
weight of the vehicle - risk of accident!  
WARNING  
Never transport occupants in the luggage compartment!  
The load to be transported must be fixed in place in such a way that it can-  
not move during the journey and when braking.

The variable loading floor can be partially pulled out over the rear bumper. The  
variable loading floor which is pulled out in such a way is solely used as a seat, for  
example for changing shoes. When pulling out the variable loading floor, the front  
edge (close to the rear seats) is lifted at the same time. Thus, small objects can no  
longer fall into the space between the luggage compartment floor and the varia-  
ble loading floor.  
The luggage compartment can be divided with the variable loading floor.

supplied with the roof luggage rack system.  
Removing and installing the luggage net partition housing  
On models fitted with a power sliding/tilting roof or a panoramic sliding roof,  
ensure that the opened sliding/tilting roof or the panoramic sliding roof does not  
strike any items of luggage transported on the roof.  
Ensure that the opened boot lid does not collide with the roof load.
