Safety First Operating instructions Tips and Maintenance Technical Data
Always fasten your seat belt correctly before driving off
page 19.
Keep both feet in the foot well so that you have the vehicle under
control at all times.
Adjustment of the driver's seat page 127.
WARNING
An incorrect sitting position of the driver can lead to severe injuries.
Adjust the driver's seat so that there is at least 25 cm distance between
the centre of the chest and the hub of the steering wheel page 10, fig. 1.
If you are sitting nearer than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot protect you
properly.
If your physical constitution prevents you from maintaining the
minimum distance of 25 cm, contact a qualified workshop. The workshop
will help you decide if special specific modifications are necessary.
When driving, always hold the steering wheel with both hands on the
outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces the
risk of injury when the driver airbag is triggered.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other
manner (e.g. in the centre of the steering wheel). In such cases, you may
sustain injuries to the arms, hands and head.
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver during sudden braking manoeu-
vres or an accident, never drive with the backrest tilted far back! The airbag
system and seat belts can only provide optimal protection when the back-
rest is in an upright position and the driver is wearing his or her seat belt
properly. The further the backrests are tilted to the rear, the greater the risk
of injury due to incorrect positioning of the belt web or the incorrect sitting
position!
Adjust the head restraint properly to achieve optimal protection.
Proper sitting position for front passenger
The front passenger must sit at least 25 cm away from the
dash panel so that the airbag can provide the greatest
possible protection in the event that it is triggered.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an
accident, we recommend the following adjustments for the front
passenger:
Move the front passenger seat back as far as possible .
Move the backrest to an upright position so that your back rests
completely against it.
Adjust the head restraint so that its upper edge is at the same
level as the top of your head, or as close as possible to the same
level as the top of your head page 13.
Keep both feet in the foot well in front of the front passenger seat.
Always fasten your seat belt correctly before driving off
page 19.
It is possible to deactivate the passenger airbag in exceptional circum-
stances page 25.
For detailed information on how to adjust the front passenger's seat, see
page 130.
WARNING
An incorrect sitting position of the front passenger can lead to severe
injuries.
