Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the
upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important:
›
for safely and quickly reaching the controls;
›
for a relaxed body position that reduces fatigue;
›
for achieving maximum protection from the seat belts and the airbag system.
WARNING
Caution when adjusting the seat! You may suffer injuries or bruises as a re-
■
sult of adjusting the seat without paying proper attention.
As the electric front seats can also be adjusted when the ignition is switch-
■
ed off (even when the ignition key is withdrawn), never leave children unat-
tended in the car.
The seat backrests must not be tilted too far back when driving, as this will
■
impair the function of the seat belts and of the airbag system – risk of injury!
Never carry more people than the number of seats in the vehicle.
■
Each occupant must correctly fasten the seat belt belonging to the seat.

WARNING (Continued)
The front seats and head restraints must be adjusted to match the body
■
size at all times and the seat belt must always be fastened properly to provide
the most effective levels of protection to the passengers.
Do not carry any objects on the front passenger seat except objects de-
■

As the driver, observe the following instructions:
59
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehicle is stationary – risk of accident!
■
60 Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the steering wheel. Not maintaining
■
this minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to
60
properly protect you – hazard!
61
Ensure that there are no objects in the driver's footwell, as these may get
■
62
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
As the front passenger, observe the following instructions.
Maintain a distance of at least 25 cm to the dash panel. Not maintaining this
■
minimum distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to proper-
ly protect you – hazard!
Always keep your feet in the footwell when the car is being driven – never
■
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 becomes nec-
essary to apply the brake or in the event of an accident. If an airbag is de-
ployed, you may suffer fatal injuries when adopting an incorrect seated posi-
tion!
Note
After a certain time, play can develop within the adjustment mechanism of the
■
backrest angle.
For safety reasons, it is not possible to store the seated position in the seat
■
memory and remote control key memory if the inclination angle of the seat back-
rest is more than 102° in relation to the seat cushion.
When saving the driver's seat and exterior mirror settings, any previous settings
■
will be deleted.
