Important safety notes
G
Risk of injury
The seats can be adjusted when the key is
removed and the door is open. For this rea-
son, children should never be left unsuper-
vised in the vehicle. They could adjust the
seats and become trapped.
G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle
is stationary. You will otherwise be distracted
from the road and traffic conditions and you
could lose control of the vehicle as a result of
the seat moving. This could cause an acci-
dent.
G
Risk of injury
If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or
others could be trapped and thereby injured.
Children in particular could unintentionally
press the buttons to electrically adjust the
seats and become trapped.
Take care that:
R
while moving the seats, your hands do not
get under the lever assembly of the seat
adjustment system.
R
children in the vehicle do not slide their
hands under the levers.
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when adjusting the seats.
Observe the notes on airbags.
Secure children as recommended; see the
"Children in the vehicle" section.
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that the back of your head is sup-
ported at eye level by the central area of the
head restraint.Ifyour head is not supported
correctly by the head restraint, you could suf-
fer a severe neck injury in the event of an
accident.Never drive if the head restraints are
not engaged and set correctly.
G
Risk of injury
Aseat belt can only offer its intended degree
of protection when the backrest is almost ver-
tical and the occupant is sitting upright. Avoid
seat positions that do not allow the seat belt
to be routed correctly. Adjust the backrest so
that it is as upright as possible. Never travel
with the backrest reclined too far backwards.
You could otherwise be seriously or even
fatally injured in the event of an accident or
sudden braking.
