edg
e is at the same le
vel as the top of your
head, or as close as possible to the same lev-
el as the top of your head and under no cir-
cumstances below eye level. Keep the back
of your neck as close as possible to the
headrest

●
Short people must lower the head restraint
completely, even if your head is below its up-
per edge.
●
Tall people must raise the head restraint
completely.
●
Always keep your feet in the footwell while
the vehicle is in motion.
●
Adjust and fasten your seat belt correctly

The following also applies to the driver:
●
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
●
Move the steering wheel so it is at least
25 cm (10 inches) away from the sternum

Fig. 2 and you can hold it with both hands
on both sides, on the outer part, with your
arms slightly bent.
●
The steering wheel must always point to-
wards the chest and never towards the face.
●
Move the seat in such a way that you can
step on the pedals with your knees slightly
bent and with a distance between the knees
and the dashboard of at least 10 cm (4 in-
ches)

●
Adjust the height of the seat so that you
can reach the top of the steering wheel.
●
Always keep both feet in the footwell so
that you have the vehicle under control at all
times.
For the passenger, the following applies:
●
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
●
Move the seat as far back as possible (mini-
mum 25 cm between the chest and the in-
strument panel check translation). If you are
sitting closer than 25 cm, the airbag system
cannot protect you properly.
Number of seats
The vehicle has 5 se
ats, 2 in the fr
ont and 3 in
the rear. All seats are equipped with a safety
belt.
In some versions, your vehicle is approved
only for 4 seats. 2 front seats and 2 rear
seats.
WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position may in-
crease the risk of severe or lethal injuries in
the event of sudden braking or manoeu-
vring, in case of collision or accident and if
the airbags deploy.
●
Bef
ore starting the car, all passengers
must be sitting in a correct position and
stay like that for the entire journey. This al-
so applies to a correct use of the seat belt.
●
The maximum amount of people in the
vehicle is the same as the amount of seats
with seat belts.
●
For children, always use a certified pro-
tection system, certified and suited for
their weight and height

●
While driving, always keep your feet in
the footwell. Never place them over the
seat or the instrument panel, for example,
or outside the window. Otherwise the air-
bag and seat belt may offer insufficient
protection and also increase the risk of in-
jury in the event of an accident.
Risks of sitting in an incorrect position
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all,
the risk of se
v
ere or lethal injuries increases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection
only if the belt web is properly worn. Incor-
rect sitting positions substantially reduce the
protective function of seat belts and, there-
fore, increase the risk of severe or even le-
thal injuries. The risk of severe or fatal inju-
ries is especially heightened when a
