and you can hold it with both hands
on both sides, on the outer part, with your
arms slightly bent.
The steering wheel must always point to-

wards the chest and never towards the face.
Move the seat in such a way that you can

step on the pedals with your knees slightly

Adjust the height of the seat so that you
●
can reach the top of the steering wheel.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so
●
that you have the vehicle under control at all
times.
For the passenger, the following applies:
Move the seat backrest to an almost up-
●
right position so that your back rests com-
pletely against it.
Move the seat as far back as possible (mini-
●
mum 25 cm between the chest and the in-
strument panel check translation). If you are
sitting closer than 25 cm, the airbag system
cannot protect you properly.
Number of seats
The vehicle has 4 seats, 2 in the front and 2 in
the rear. All seats are equipped with a safety
belt.

Safety
WARNING
Sitting in an incorrect position may in-
crease the risk of severe or lethal injuries in
the event of sudden braking or manoeu-
vring, in case of collision or accident and if
the airbags deploy.
Before starting the car, all passengers
●
must be sitting in a correct position and
stay like that for the entire journey. This al-
so applies to a correct use of the seat belt.
The maximum amount of people in the
●
vehicle is the same as the amount of seats
with seat belts.
For children, always use a certified pro-
●
tection system, certified and suited for their

While driving, always keep your feet in
●
the footwell. Never place them over the
seat or the instrument panel, for example,
or outside the window. Otherwise the air-
bag and seat belt may offer insufficient
protection and also increase the risk of in-
jury in the event of an accident.
Risks of sitting in an incorrect posi-
tion
If seat belts are worn incorrectly or not at all,
the risk of severe or lethal injuries increases.
Seat belts can provide optimal protection on-
ly if the belt web is properly worn. Incorrect
sitting positions substantially reduce the pro-
tective function of seat belts and, therefore,
increase the risk of severe or even lethal inju-
ries. The risk of severe or fatal injuries is espe-
cially heightened when a deploying airbag
strikes a vehicle occupant who has assumed
an incorrect sitting position. The driver is re-
sponsible for all people, particularly children,
inside the vehicle.
The following list contains examples of incor-
rect sitting positions that could be dangerous
for all vehicle occupants.
When the vehicle is in motion:
Never stand in the vehicle.
●
Never stand on the seats.
●
Never kneel on the seats.
●
Never tilt your seat backrest too far to the
●
rear.
Never lean against the instrument panel.
●
Never lie on the rear seats.
●
Never sit on the front edge of a seat.
●
Never sit sideways.
●
Never lean out of a window.
●
Never put your feet out of a window.
●
Never put your feet on the instrument panel.
●
Never place your feet on the bench or on
●
the backrest of the seat.
Never travel in a footwell.
●
Never sit on the armrests.
