Safe driving
Adjust and fasten your seat belt correctly
›› page 18.
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) Fig. 2.
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 dash-
board check translation). If you are sitting
closer than 25 cm, the airbag system cannot
protect you properly.
Number of seats
The vehicle has 5 seats, 2 in the front 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.
Before 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 ›› page 28.
While driving, always keep your feet in
the footwell. Never place them over the
seat or the dashboard, for example, or out-
side the window. Otherwise the airbag and
seat belt may offer insufficient protection
and also increase the risk of injury in the
event of an accident.
Risks of sitting in an incorrect posi-
tion
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all,
the risk of severe or lethal injuries increases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly if the belt web is properly worn. Incorrect
sitting positions substantially reduce the pro-
tective function of seat belts and, therefore,
increase the risk of severe or even lethal inju-
ries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is espe-
cially heightened when a deploying airbag
strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed
an incorrect sitting position. The driver is re-
sponsible for all people, particularly children,
inside the vehicle.
The following list contains examples of incor-
rect sitting positions that could be dangerous
for all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.
Never tilt your seat backrest too far to the
rear. »
