Seats And Head Restraints - Seat Arona 2018 Owner's Manual

For the sake of the environment
The exterior mirror heating should be
switched off when it is no longer needed.
Otherwise, it is an unnecessary fuel waste.
Note
If the electrical adjustment ever fails to
●
operate, the mirrors can be adjusted by
hand by lightly pressing the edge of the
mirror glass.
In vehicles with retractable external rear-
●
view mirrors, the following must be consid-
ered: if, due to an external force (e.g. being
knocked while manoeuvring), the adjust-
ment of the mirror housing is altered, the
mirror will have to be fully folded electri-
cally. Do not readjust the rear vision mirror
housing by hand, as this will interfere with
the mirror adjuster function.
The fold-in function on the exterior mir-
●
rors will not activate at speeds over
40 km/h (25 mph).

WARNING
The safe driving chapter contains impor-
tant information, tips, suggestions and
warnings that you should read and observe
for your own safety and the safety of your
›››
passengers page 63.
WARNING
Never adjust the driver or front passenger
●
seat while the vehicle is in motion. While
adjusting your seat, you will assume an in-
correct sitting position. Risk of accidents.
Adjust the driver or front passenger seat
only when the vehicle is stationary.
To reduce the risk of injury to the driver
●
and front passenger in case of a sudden
braking or an accident, never drive with the
backrest tilted towards the rear. The maxi-
mum protection of the seat belt can be
achieved only when the backrests are in an
upright position and the driver and front
passenger have properly adjusted their
seat belts. The further the backrests are til-
ted to the rear, the greater the risk of injury
due to improper positioning of the belt web!
Exercise caution when securing the seat
●
height into forwards/backwards position.
Injuries can be caused if the seat height is
adjusted without due care and attention.
To move the seat forwards and back-
●
wards, pull upwards and not sideways on
the lever, as the force exerted on it in that
direction could damage it.


Adjust the head restraint
that as far as possible the top of the head re-
straint is level with the top of your head. When
this is not possible, try to get as close as pos-
sible to this position.
WARNING
Never drive if the head restraints have
●
been removed. Risk of injury.
After refitting the head restraint, you
●
must always adjust it properly for height to
achieve optimal protection.
Please observe the safety warnings
●
in Correct adjustment of front head re-
straints on page 67.
