WARNING (Continued)
When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the out-
■
er edge in the "9 o'clock" and "3 o'clock" position. Never hold the steering
wheel in the "12 o'clock" position or in any other way (e.g. in the middle or
inner edge of the steering wheel). In such cases, you could severely injure
your arms, hands and head when the driver airbag is deployed.
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
The lever for adjusting the steering wheel must be locked while you are
■
driving so that the position of the steering wheel cannot accidentally
change during the journey – there is the risk of an accident!
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving, but only
■
when the vehicle is stationary!
Correct seated position of the front passenger
Read and observe
on page 9 first.
For passenger safety and to reduce the risk of injury in an accident, the follow-
ing instructions must be observed.
Position the front passenger seat back as far as possible. The front pas-
senger must maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel so
that the airbag offers the greatest possible safety if it is deployed.
Adjust the head restraint so that the top edge of the head restraint is at
the same level as the top of your head
Correctly fasten the seat belt
Setting the seats and head restraints
In exceptional cases, the front passenger airbag can be deactivated

20, Deactivating airbags.
WARNING
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not keeping to
■
this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to
properly protect you – risk of death!

Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – nev-
■
er 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 be-
comes necessary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an air-
bag is deployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect
seated position!
