Voice activation system At a glance
Voice activation system Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. 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.
The concept ▷ Most functions that are displayed on the
Control Display can be operated by spoken commands via the voice activation system. The system prompts you to make your en‐ tries.
▷ Functions that can only be used when the vehicle is stationary cannot be operated us‐ ing the voice activation system.
▷ The system uses a special microphone on
the driver's side.

Sitting safely The ideal seating position can make a vital con‐ tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. The seating position plays an important role in an accident in combination with: ▷ Safety belts, refer to page 48. ▷ Head restraints, refer to page 49. ▷ Airbags, refer to page 92.
Seats General information
Do not adjust the seat while driving Do not adjust the driver's seat while driv‐ ing, or the seat could respond with unexpected movement and the ensuing loss of vehicle con‐ trol could lead to an accident.◀
Do not incline the backrest too far to the rear
Also on the front passenger side, do not incline the backrest on the front passenger side too far to the rear during driving, or there is a risk of slipping under the safety belt in the event of an accident. This would eliminate the protection normally provided by the belt.◀

Safety belts Seats with safety belt The vehicle has five seats, each of which is equipped with a safety belt. Number of safety belts Your vehicle has been fitted with five safety belts for the safety of you and your passengers. How‐ ever, they can only offer protection when ad‐ justed correctly. Notes Always make sure that safety belts are being worn by all occupants before driving away. Although airbags enhance safety by providing added protection, they are not a substitute for safety belts. ▷ The shoulder strap's anchorage point will be
correct for adult seat occupants of every build if the seat is correctly adjusted.
▷ The two outer safety belt buckles,
integrated into the rear seat, are for passen‐ gers sitting on the left and right.
▷ The center rear seat belt buckle is solely in‐
tended for the center passenger.

Putting on the belt Lay the belt, without twisting, snugly
across the lap and shoulders, as close to the body as possible. Make sure that the belt lies low around the hips in the lap area and does not press on the abdomen. Otherwise, the belt can slip over the hips in the lap area in a frontal im‐ pact and injure the abdomen. The safety belt must not lie across the neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid or breaka‐ ble objects, or be pinched.◀
Reduction of restraining effect Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the belt from fitting properly, and pull the shoulder belt periodically to readjust the tension across your lap; otherwise, the retention effect of the safety belt may be reduced.◀
