WARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.

WARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could
move forwards as far as the next catch during
movement such as braking or abrupt changes
of direction. As a result, you would be pushed
against your seat belt by the unsecured driv-
er's seat.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. The seat belt cannot protect as inten-
ded and could result in additional injury.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the driv-
er's seat is fully engaged.
Observe the safety notes on "Air bags"
( page 43) and "Children in the vehicle"
