Safety notes
WARNING
Adjusting the seat during a journey could cause
the seat to move unexpectedly. You could lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of acci‐
dent. Only adjust the seat on the driver's side
when at a standstill.
WARNING
If the backrest is angled back too far, the pro‐
tective effect of the seat belt will no longer be
guaranteed. There is a danger of sliding under
the seat belt in the event of an accident. There
is a danger of injury or even death. Adjust the
seat before starting the journey. Adjust the
backrest to the most upright position possible,
and do not change it during the journey.
WARNING
There is a risk of entrapment when the seats
are moved. There is a danger of injury or dam‐
age to property. Before making any adjustment,
