when adjusting the seats |
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail.

no one has any body parts in the sweep
of the seat.

Observe the safety notes on "Airbags" and "Children
in the vehicle".
| WARNING Risk of accident due to the
driver's seat not being engaged |
| If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in
motion.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
- Always make sure that the driver's seat
is engaged before starting the vehicle.
|
| WARNING Risk of injury from adjusting
the vehicle settings while the vehicle is in
motion |
You could lose control of the vehicle in the
following situations:
- if you adjust the driver's seat, the head
restraint, the steering wheel or the mirror
while the vehicle is in motion
- if you fasten your seat belt while the vehicle
is in motion

| If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you
or other vehicle occupants could be trapped
and thereby injured. Children in particular could accidentally
press the electrical seat adjustment buttons
and become trapped.

under the lever assembly of the seat
adjustment system.

| WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints which are not installed or are
adjusted incorrectly |
| If head restraints are not installed or are
adjusted incorrectly, the head restraints cannot
provide protection as intended.
There is an increased risk of injury in the
head and neck area, e.g. in the event of an
accident or when braking.
- Always drive with the head restraints
installed.
- Before driving off, make sure for every
vehicle occupant that the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
|
Do not interchange the head restraints of the
front and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not be
able to adjust the height and angle of the head
restraints correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so
that it is as close as possible to the back of your
head.
| WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrect seat position |
| The seat belt does not offer the intended
level of protection if you have not moved the
seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
When braking or in the event of an accident,
you could slide underneath the seat belt and
sustain abdominal or neck injuries, for example.
- Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey.
- Always ensure that the seat backrest is
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the center of your shoulder.
