PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Airbags

E69198

WARNING

Do not modify the front of thevehicle in any way, as this can

adversely affect the airbagdeployment.

Note: A loud bang will be heardwhen an airbag deploys and it isnormal to see a cloud of harmlesspowdery residue.

The airbag system comprises thefollowing:

• inflatable nylon bags (airbags) withgas generators.

• crash sensors.• side airbags• a number of crash sensors• a warning lamp in the instrument

panel.

• a passenger airbag deactivationswitch

• an airbag deactivation light in theinstrument panel

• an electronic control anddiagnostic unit.

E69206

Occupant protection

Page 14: ka_(CG1388en) 12-2006

WARNINGSRepairs to either of the frontseat covers, the sensors

attached to the seats as well as tothe roof lining should only be carriedout by properly trained technicians.Injuries may result if the side airbagsare triggered inadvertently.

Do not block, obstruct or coverthe airbag because it may

prevent proper deployment.

Do not poke any sharp objectsinto the areas where airbags are

fitted. This could damage theairbags.Do not use any accessoryseat covers that are not specificallydesigned for seats with side airbags.These seat covers must be fitted byproperly trained technicians.

E66553

WARNING

Always wear the seat belt andkeep sufficient distance

between the driver and the steeringwheel. Only when the seat belt isused properly, can it hold the bodyin a position which allows the airbagto achieve its optimum effect. Thereis a risk of injury when the airbagdeploys.

The seat and back must be setcorrectly for the airbags to beoptimally effective. See Sitting inthe correct position (page 62).

This is the ideal seating position forthe driver and front passenger andhelps reduce the risk of injury fromsitting too close to an inflating airbag.

E69199

The front airbags activate duringsignificant collisions which areeither frontal or up to 30degrees from the left or the right.The airbags inflate within a fewthousandths of a second. They willdeflate on contact with the frontoccupants thus cushioning forwardbody movement.

12

Occupant protection

Page 15: ka_(CG1388en) 12-2006

E69200

During minor collisions as well asoverturns and rear or side collisions,the front airbag system will not beactivated.

E69201

WARNINGSRepairs to the steering wheel,steering column and airbag

system should be carried out byproperly trained technicians.

Always keep the areas in frontof the airbags free. Never affix

anything to or over these areas.

These areas should only be wipedwith a damp cloth, never with a wetcloth.

Side airbags

E69202

A label on the seatback indicates thatside airbags are fitted.

The side airbags are fitted on the sideof the seatbacks of the front seats.In case of a severe lateral collision,the airbag on the side affected by thecollision will be inflated.

The airbag will inflate between thedoor panel and occupant. Once theoccupant’s body contacts the airbag,the propellant escapes, therebycushioning the impact.

The side airbags are not activatedupon minor lateral collisions nor uponfront or rear impacts.

13

Occupant protection

Page 16: ka_(CG1388en) 12-2006

PRINCIPLE OFOPERATION

Outside air

Always keep the air intakes forwardof the front windscreen free of snow,leaves etc., to allow the system tofunction effectively.

Recirculated air

Note: It is not recommended to userecirculated air for more than 30minutes as there is no air exchangeand the windows may mist up.

When recirculated air is selected, onlythe air currently in the passengercompartment will be circulated.Outside air will not enter the vehicle.

Fresh air filter

The fresh air filter removes mostpotentially harmful particles such aspollen, industrial fallout and road dustfrom the air entering the vehicle’sinterior.

In an automatic car wash, you shouldswitch off the ventilation blower toprevent the filter collecting waxdeposits.

Blower

The blower motor may emit noises.

Heating

The heating depends upon thecoolant temperature and is thereforeonly effective when the engine iswarm.

Air conditioning

Note: The air conditioning systemonly operates when the temperatureis above +4 ºC, the engine is runningand the blower is switched on.Operating the air conditioning leadsto higher fuel consumption.

The air is directed through thecoolant heat exchanger where it iscooled if the air conditioning isswitched on. In addition, humidity isextracted from the air to help keepthe windows free of mist.

The resulting condensation isdirected to the outside of the vehicle.It is therefore quite normal if younotice a small pool of waterunderneath the parked vehicle.

General notes oncontrolling the climate inthe vehicle’s interior

Close all the windows completely.

To warm the interior effectively, directthe heated air to the footwell area. Incold or humid weather, direct someof the air towards the frontwindscreen and side windows.

To cool the interior effectively, directthe cooled air towards the face level.

WARNING

If a brake circuit fails, you will atfirst experience a softer feel to

the brake pedal. You will then needto exert a greater force on the brakepedal, and make allowance forincreased stopping distances. Havethe braking system checked by anexpert before continuing yourjourney.

E66564

Your vehicle is equipped with adiagonally split dual circuit brakingsystem. If one of the brake circuitsfails, the other remains operative.

Disc brakes

E66565

Wet brake discs result in reducedbraking efficiency.

After leaving a carwash, dab thebrake pedal while driving to removethe film of water.

Brake wear warningindicator

WARNING

When the warning sounds, havethe brake system checked by

an expert immediately.

Once the brake pads have met orexceeded their useful life, a built-insystem will cause a metallic soundupon brake application.

HINTS ON DRIVING WITHABS

WARNING

Although the ABS ensuresoptimum braking efficiency,

stopping distances can vary greatlydepending on the road surface andconditions. Use of the ABS cannoteliminate the dangers inherent indriving too close to the vehicle in frontof you, aquaplaning, excessivecornering speed or poor roadsurfaces.

E66566

relieve the driver of his responsibilityfor exercising due care and attentionwhen reversing. In particular, someobjects close to the vehicle (approx.30 cm) and above or below thesensors may not be detected by thepark distance sensor and causedamage to the vehicle. Ultrasonicwaves, heavy rain and/or conditionscausing disruptive reflections maylead to objects not being detectedby the sensors. In addition, objectswhich absorb ultrasonic waves maynot always be detected due to theirunfavourable surface characteristics.

USING THE PARKING AID

E68984

The system is activated automaticallyafter the reverse gear is selected withthe ignition switched on.

A short tone will sound to indicatesystem readiness.

A system failure will be indicated bya deep continuous tone or by a deeptone sounding in three-secondintervals. In both cases the system isnot reliable.

Have the system checked by anexpert.

E68985

At a distance of up to 100 cmbetween the obstacle and rearbumper an intermittent soundappears. Decreasing the distanceaccelerates the intermittent sound.It turns into a continuous tone at adistance of less than 30 cm.

Many programmes broadcast on theFM waveband have a programmeidentification (PI) code, which can berecognised by audio units.

If your radio has AF tuning switchedon and you move from onetransmission area to another, thisfacility will search for and switch to astronger station signal, if one can befound.

123

Audio unit menus

Page 126: ka_(CG1388en) 12-2006

Under certain conditions, however,alternative frequency tuning maytemporarily disrupt normal reception.

With �AF-ON’ or �AF-AUTO’ selected,the unit continually evaluates signalstrength and, if a better signalbecomes available, the unit will switchto that alternative. It mutes while itchecks a list of alternativefrequencies and, if necessary, it willsearch once across the selectedwaveband for a genuine alternativefrequency.

It will restore radio reception when itfinds one or, if one is not found, theunit will return to the original storedfrequency. On certain units, NotFound will be displayed.

On some units with �AF-MAN’selected, the unit operates in a similarway to �AF-AUTO’ or �AF-ON’, butonly searches for an alternativefrequency when prompted bypressing a preset button.

With �AF-OFF’ selected, the originalstored frequency remains selected.In this mode, AF-OFF will bedisplayed every time the unit is turnedon.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM(RDS)

Most radio stations on the FMwaveband transmit additional codein their broadcast signal that allowsreceivers equipped with thenecessary decoder to present moreinformation to the listener. This isknown as the Radio Data System(RDS).
