with the steering column trim →
WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal
injuries.
·
After adjusting the steering wheel, al-
ways move the lever →
firmly. This prevents the steering wheel
from moving accidentally while the vehi-
cle is in motion.
·
Never adjust the steering wheel when
the vehicle is in motion. If you determine
that adjustment is necessary when driv-
ing, stop the vehicle safely and adjust
the steering wheel to the correct posi-
tion.
·
The steering wheel must always point
towards the chest and not towards the
face. This ensures that the driver front
airbag provides maximum protection in
the event of an accident.
·
While driving, always keep both hands
on the outside of the steering wheel at
the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock posi-
tions.→ Fig. 73This reduces the risk of
injury if the driver front airbag is trig-
gered.
·
Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other man-
ner, e.g. at the hub of the steering
wheel. If the driver front airbag is trig-
gered, you could receive severe injuries
to the arms, hands and head.

and the hub of the steering wheel. Ad-

wards or backwards so that you are able
to press the pedals to the floor with your
knees still slightly angled and the dis-
tance to the dash panel in the knee area
is at least 10 cm. If your build makes it
impossible to fulfil this requirement
then you must contact a qualified work-
shop so they can make any necessary
modifications.
Never travel with the backrest tilted far
back. The further back the backrest is til-
ted, the greater the risk of injury caused
by incorrect seat belt routing or an in-
correct sitting position.
Never travel with the backrest tilted far
forwards. When a front airbag is trig-
gered it could force the seat backrest
backwards and injure vehicle occupants
on the back seats.
You should always sit upright with your
back against the seat backrest with the
front seats properly adjusted. Do not po-
