Safety equipment
Never put your safety or the safety of your
passengers in danger. In the event of an acci-
dent, the safety equipment may reduce the
risk of injury. The following points cover part
of the safety equipment in your SEAT:
three-point seat belts,
●
belt tension limiters for the front seats,
●
belt tensioners for the front seats,
●
front airbags,
●
side airbags in the front seat backrests,
●
"ISOFIX" anchor points for child seats in the
●
rear side seats with the "ISOFIX" system,
rear head restraints with in-use position and
●
non-use position,
adjustable steering column.
●
The safety equipment mentioned above
works together to provide you and your pas-
sengers with the best possible protection in
the event of an accident. However, these
safety systems can only be effective if you
and your passengers are sitting in a correct
position and use this equipment properly.
Safety is everyone's business!

positions
The correct sitting positions for the driver and
passengers are shown below.
If your physical constitution prevents you
from maintaining the correct sitting position,
contact a specialised workshop for help with
any special devices. The seat belt and airbag
can only provide optimum protection if a cor-
rect sitting position is adopted. SEAT recom-
mends taking your car in for technical serv-
ice.
For your own safety and to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident or sudden
braking or manoeuvre, SEAT recommend the
following positions:
Valid for the driver:
Adjust the seat backrest to an upright posi-
●
tion so that your back rests completely
against it.
Adjust the seat so that there is a distance of
●
at least 25 cm between the steering wheel
›››
and your chest Fig. 65 and so that you
can hold the steering wheel with both hands
on the outside of the ring at the 9 o'clock and
3 o'clock positions with your arms slightly
bent.
The adjusted steering wheel must face your
●
chest and not your face.
Adjust the driver seat forwards or back-
●
wards so that you are able to press the ac-
celerator, brake and clutch pedals to the floor
with your knees slightly angled and the dis-
tance between your knees and the dash pan-
›››
el is at least 10 cm Fig. 65.
