WARNING
Incorrect seat adjustment may lead to accidents and severe injuries.
Only adjust the seats when the vehicle is stationary, as the seats could
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion and you could lose
control of the vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect position is adopted when
adjusting the seat.
Only adjust the height, backrest and forwards or backwards position of
the seat when there is nobody in the seat adjustment area.
There must be no objects blocking the seat adjustment area.
Only adjust the height, angle and longitudinal position of the rear seats
when nobody is in the way.
The seat adjustment and lock areas must be kept clean.
Danger of injuries due to an incorrect sitting position
If the seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all, the risk of severe injuries
increases. Seat belts can provide optimal protection only if the belt web is
properly worn. The seat belt cannot offer its full protection if the belt web is
not positioned correctly. This could result in severe and even fatal injuries.
The risk of severe or fatal injuries is especially increased when a deploying
airbag strikes an occupant who has assumed an incorrect sitting position.
The driver is responsible for all passengers in the vehicle, particularly chil-
dren.
The following list shows just some examples of incorrect sitting positions
which can be dangerous to all occupants.
Whenever the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle.
Never stand on the seats.
Never kneel on the seats.

WARNING
Every incorrect sitting position increases the risk of severe or fatal injuries
in the event of accidents or sudden braking or manoeuvres.
All passengers must assume the proper sitting position and be properly
belted in while travelling.
Occupants in incorrect sitting positions, not wearing their seat belt or
too close to the airbag run the risk of suffering severe or fatal injuries,
particularly if the airbag deploys and hits an occupant sitting in an incor-
rect position.
