Adjustments

Sitting safely

The ideal sitting position can make a vital con-

tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In the

interaction with the safety belts, the head

restraints and the airbags, the seat position

plays an important role in an accident. To

ensure that the safety systems operate with

optimal efficiency, we strongly urge you to

observe the instructions contained in the fol-

lowing section.

For additional information on transporting chil-

dren safely, refer to page 50.

Airbags

Always maintain an adequate distance

between yourself and the airbags. Always

hold the steering wheel by its rim with hands at

the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions, to mini-

mize the risk of injuries to your hands and arms

in the event of airbag deployment.

No one and nothing is to come between the air-

bags and the seat occupant.

Do not use the cover of the front airbag on the

front passenger side as a storage area. Make

sure that the front passenger is sitting correctly

and does not rest feet or legs on the instrument

panel, otherwise leg injuries can occur if the

front airbag is triggered.

Make sure that occupants do not rest their head

on the side or head airbag, otherwise injuries

can occur if the airbags are triggered.<

Even if you adhere to all the instructions, inju-

ries resulting from contact with airbags cannot

be fully excluded, depending on the circum-

stances. The ignition and inflation noise may

provoke a mild hearing loss in extremely sensi-

tive individuals. This effect is usually only tem-

porary.

For airbag locations and additional information

on airbags, refer to page 78.

Head restraints

A correctly adjusted head restraint reduces the

risk of spinal injury in the event of an accident.

Adjust the head restraint so that its center

is approx. at ear level. Otherwise there is

increased danger of injury in the event of an

accident.<

Head restraints, refer to page 43.

Safety belts

Before every drive, make sure that safety belts

are being worn at all of the occupied seats. Air-

bags complement the safety belt as an addi-

tional safety device, but they do not represent a

substitute.

Your vehicle is provided with five seats, which

are all equipped with a safety belt.

Never allow more than one person to

wear a single safety belt. Never allow

infants or small children to ride in a passenger's

lap. Make sure that the belt lies low around the

hips in the lap area and does not press on the

abdomen. The safety belt may not lie across the

neck, rub on sharp edges, be routed over solid

or breakable objects or be pinched. Wear the

safety belt without twisting, snugly across the

lap and shoulders, as close to the body as pos-

sible. Otherwise the belt can slip over the hips

in the lap area in a frontal impact and injure the

abdomen. Avoid wearing clothing that prevents

the belt from fitting properly and pull the belt in

the upper body area periodically to readjust the

tension, in order to avoid a reduction in the

restraint of the safety belt.<

Safety belts, refer to page 44.

Seats

Note before adjusting

Never attempt to adjust your seat while

the vehicle is moving. The seat could

respond with unexpected movement, and the
