Always drive with the head restraints
#
fitted.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the centre of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
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 will not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the seat
backrest to an almost vertical position.
In particular, you may slip under the seatbelt
and injure yourself.
Adjust the seat properly before begin‐
#
ning 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 centre of your shoul‐
der.

objects under the co-driver seat
Objects trapped under the co-driver seat can
interfere with the function of the automatic
co-driver airbag shutoff or damage the sys‐
tem.
Do not store any objects under the co-
#
driver seat.
When the co-driver seat is occupied,
#
make sure that no objects are trapped
under the co-driver seat.

ing
The seats may be damaged by objects when
