Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger

do not

recommend that you adjust the passenger's seat
in
th
e
following manner:
•
Bring the backrest up to an (almost)
upright
position.
Do not
ride
with the seat reclined
.
•
For adjustable head restraints: adjust the head
restraint so the upper edge is as even as possi-
ble with the
top
of your head
.
If
that
is
not
pos-
sible,
try
to adjust
the
head restraint so
that it
is
as close
to
this position as possible
q
page 60.
Move
the
head
restraint so
that
it
is as
close
to
the back of the head
as
possible.

WARNING
-
Only adjust the front seat with when the ve-
hicle is stationary. Otherwise, this increases
the
risk of an accident
-
Exercise
caution when adjusting the seat
height. Adjusting the seat carelessly or
without check ing can pinch
hands
and fin-
gers.
-
The front seat backrests must
not
be
re-
clined too far back when driving, because
this impairs
the effectiveness of
the
safety
belts
and
airbag system, which
increases
th
e
risk of injury.
-
To reduce
the
risk of
injury
during sudden
braking or in a collision, the driver and front
passenger should
not
have their backrests in
the reclined position while driving or
riding.
The
safety belts and airbag system can pro-
vide
the
greatest protection possible when
the backrests are in
the
upright position and
the safety belts are worn correctly. The
more a backrest is reclined, the greater the
risk of
injury
due
to
an incorrect seating po-
sition
and
safety belt position.
