Set the driver seat in such a way that the
pedals can be fully depressed with your legs
slightly bent.
Set the driver seat backrest so that you can
reach the upper point of the steering wheel
with your arms slightly bent.
The correct seat position is very important
for:
reaching all of the controls safely and
●
quickly,
a relaxed posture that will not produce fati-
●
gue,
maximum protection from the seat belts
●
and airbag system
WARNING
Adjust the driver seat only when the vehi-
●
cle is stationary. Risk of accident!
Seats and head restraints
Be careful when adjusting the front seats!
●
Careless and uncontrolled adjustment can
cause injuries.
The backrests must not be reclined too
●
far back while driving. This could limit the
effect of the seat belts and the airbag sys-
tem. Risk of injury!
Never transport more than the permitted
●
amount of people in your vehicle.
Every occupant in the vehicle must prop-
●
erly fasten and wear the seat belt belong-
ing to his or her seat. Children must be pro-
tected with an appropriate child restraint

safely.
The front seats, head restraints and seat
●
belts must always be adjusted to the size of
the vehicle occupant to provide you and
your passengers with the greatest possible
protection.
Your feet should remain in the footwell
●
while the vehicle is moving; never rest them
on the dash panel, on the window or on the
seat! This also applies to passengers. An
incorrect sitting position exposes you to an
increased risk of injury in case of a sudden
braking or an accident. If the airbag is trig-
gered, you could sustain severe injuries due
to an incorrect sitting position!
It is important for the driver and front
●
passenger to keep a distance of at least
25 cm from the steering wheel and dash
panel. Failure to respect the minimum dis-
tance means that the airbag will not pro-
tect you. Risk of fatal injury if triggered!
Objects must not be placed in the foot-
●
well, as they could move to the area of the
pedals in the event of a braking manoeuvre
or change of direction. This would prevent
the clutch, brake or accelerator from being
pressed.
Do not place any items on the front pas-
●
senger seat other than those allowed (e.g.
child seat). Risk of accident!
Note
After a certain time, the backrest angle ad-
justment mechanism may gain a certain
amount of play.
