& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if
the seats are adjusted by children
Children could become trapped if they adjust
the seats, particularly when unattended.
When leaving the vehicle, always take
#
the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the
#
vehicle.
You can adjust the seats when the ignition is
switched off.
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped
during seat adjustment
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that
#
no one has any body parts in the sweep
of the seat.
Observe the safety notes on "Airbags" and "Chil‐
dren in the vehicle".
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the
driver's seat not being engaged
The driver's seat may move unexpectedly
while driving.
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 becoming trapped if
the seat height is adjusted carelessly
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.
While moving the seats, make sure that
#
hands or other body parts do not get
under the lever assembly of the seat
adjustment system.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints not being fitted or being adjus‐
ted incorrectly
If head restraints have not been installed or
have not been adjusted correctly, 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
#
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.
