Adjustments

Sitting safely

The ideal sitting position can make a vital

contribution to relaxed driving that is as

fatigue-free as possible. The sitting posi-

tion plays an important role together with

the safety belts and airbags in providing

occupants with maximum levels of passive

safety in an accident. Therefore, observe

the following instructions, as otherwise the

protective function of the safety systems

may be impaired.

For additional information on transporting

children safely, refer to page 34.

Sitting safely with airbags

Always maintain an adequate dis-

tance between yourself and the air-

bags. Always hold the steering wheel by

its rim with hands at the 9 o'clock and

3 o'clock positions, to minimize the risk of

injuries to your hands and arms in the event

of airbag deployment.

No one and nothing is to come between the

airbags 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 cor-

rectly seated, i.e. feet or legs not resting on

the instrument panel, as otherwise leg inju-

ries can result if the knee and front airbag is

triggered.

Never let an occupant's head rest near or

on a side airbag because the inflating air-

bag could cause a serious or fatal injury.<

Even if you adhere to all the instructions

injuries resulting from contact with airbags

cannot be fully excluded, depending on the

circumstances. The ignition and inflation

noise may provoke a mild – usually tempo-

rary – hearing loss in extremely sensitive

individuals.

For airbag locations and additional infor-

mation on airbags, refer to page 54.

Sitting safely with safety belts

Even though there is an airbag, wear a

safety belt every time you get in the vehi-

cle. Although airbags enhance safety by

providing added protection, they are not a

substitute for safety belts.

Your vehicle has five seats that are all

equipped with a safety belt.

Occupants should sit upright and be

properly restrained at all times:

infants and small children in appropriate

child-restraint systems; larger children and

adults using the safety belts.

Expectant mothers should always wear

their safety belts, taking care to position

the lap belt against the lower hips, where it

will not exert pressure against the abdomi-

nal area.

Never allow more than one person to wear

a single safety belt. Never allow infants and

small children to ride in a passengers lap.

Do not route the belt across your neck, or

run it across sharp edges. Be sure that the

belt does not become caught or jammed.

Avoid twisting the belt while routing it firmly

across the hips and shoulder. Do not allow

the belt to rest against hard or fragile

objects. Otherwise, in the event of a frontal

impact, a loose lap belt could slide over

your hips, leading to abdominal injury.

Avoid wearing clothing that prevents the

belt from fitting properly and pull the lap

belt periodically to readjust the tension

across your shoulder in order to avoid a

reduction in the retention effect of the

safety belt.<

For fastening safety belts, refer to page 30.

Seats

Note before adjusting

Never try to adjust your seat while

operating the vehicle. The seat could

respond with unexpected movement, and
