Vehicle features and options  
Warning  
A heated vehicle may result in death to per‐  
sons, especially children and animals. There is  
a risk of injuries or danger to life. Do not leave  
persons, especially children and animals unat‐  
tended in the vehicle.  
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐  
cific and optional features offered with the series.  
It also describes features that are not necessarily  
available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the  
selected options or country versions. This also  
applies to safety-related functions and systems.  
When using these functions and systems, the  
applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐  
served.  
Warning  
Exposure to intense sunlight can cause child  
restraint systems and their components to be‐  
come very hot. Persons may sustain burn inju‐  
ries when touching the hot components. There  
is a risk of injury. Do not expose the child re‐  
straint system to direct sunlight or cover where  
necessary. If necessary, let the child restraint  
system cool down before transporting a child.  
Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
