Passive Safety 165
Using the system Safety Driving Tips General Maintenance Breakdown assistance Technical Data
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident, we
recommend the following setting.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance between the steering wheel and
your chest is at least 25 cm page 164, fig. 160.
Position the driver seat in the forward/back direction so that you are able to
press the pedals with your legs at a slight angle .
Adjust the backrest so that you are able to reach the highest point of the steering
wheel with your arms at a slight angle.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head fig. 161.
Fasten the seat belt correctly page 170, “How are seat belts correctly
fastened?”.
Manual driver seat adjustment page 78, “Adjusting the front seats”.
Electrical driver seat adjustment page 79, “Adjusting front seats electrically*”.
WARNING
The front seats and the head restraints must always be adjusted to match
the body size of the seat occupant as well as the seat belts must always be
correctly fastened in order to provide an optimal protection for you and your
occupants.
The driver must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering
wheel page 164, fig. 160. Not maintaining this minimum distance will
mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect you -
hazard!
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the
outer edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering
wheel firmly in the 12 o'clock position or in another way (e.g. in the middle
of the steering wheel or at the inner steering wheel edge). In such cases,
injuries to the arms, the hands and the head can occur when the driver
airbag is deployed.
The backrests must not be angled too far back when driving otherwise
this will affect proper operation of the seat belts and of the airbag system -
risk of injury!
Ensure that there are no objects in the footwell as any objects may get
behind the pedals during a driving or braking manoeuvre. You would then
no longer be able to operate the clutch, to brake or accelerate.
Correct seated position for the front passenger
The front passenger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm from
the dash panel so that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety
when an airbag is deployed.
For the safety of the front passenger and to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
an accident, we recommend the following setting.
Adjust the front passenger seat as far as possible to the rear.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at the same
level as the upper part of your head fig. 161.
Fasten the seat belt correctly page 170, “How are seat belts correctly
fastened?”.
In exceptional cases the front passenger airbag can be deactivated page 182,
“Deactivating an airbag”.
