Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Adjusting the front seats
Front seat heating
The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important:
›
for safely and quickly reaching the controls;
›
for a relaxed body position that reduces fatigue;
›
for achieving maximum protection from the seat belts and the airbag system.

The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will
■
impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.

WARNING
As the driver, observe the following instructions.
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!
■
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel. Not maintaining
■
this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to
properly protect you – hazard!
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get
■
caught in the pedal apparatus when driving or braking. You would then no
longer be able to operate the clutch, brake or acceleration pedals.

WARNING
As the front passenger, observe the following instructions.
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this
■
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-
ly protect you – hazard!
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven - never
■
place your feet on the instrument panel, out of the window or on the surfaces
of the seats. You will be exposed to increased risk of injury if it becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi-
tion!
Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
backrest angle.
