sure the steering wheel does not accidentally
change position while driving.
●
Never adjust the steering wheel while the
vehicle is in motion. If you need to adjust the
steering wheel while the vehicle is in motion,
stop safely and make the proper adjustment.
●
The adjusted steering wheel should be fac-
ing your chest and not your face so as not to
hinder the driver's front airbag protection in
the event of an accident.
When driving, always hold the steering
●
wheel with both hands on the outside of the
ring at the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions
to reduce injuries when the driver's front air-
bag deploys.
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
●
o'clock position or in any other manner (e.g.
in the centre of the steering wheel). In such
cases, if the driver's airbag deploys, you may
sustain injuries to your arms, hands and
head.

Safety
Danger of injuries due to an incorrect
sitting position
Number of seats
The vehicle has a total of 4 seats: 2 front
seats and 2 rear seats. Each seat is equipped
with a seat belt.
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. Being seated
in an incorrect position means the seat belt
cannot offer its full protection. This could re-
sult in severe and even fatal injuries. The risk
of severe or fatal injuries is especially height-
ened when a deploying airbag strikes a vehi-
cle occupant who has assumed an incorrect
sitting position. The driver is responsible for
all passengers in the vehicle, particularly
children.
The following list shows just some examples
of incorrect sitting positions which can be
dangerous to 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 dash 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 dash panel.
●
●
Never put your feet on the surface of a seat
or seat backrest.
●
Never travel in a footwell.
Never travel on a seat without wearing the
●
seat belt.
Never carry any person in the luggage com-
●
partment.
WARNING
An incorrect sitting position in the vehicle
can lead to severe injuries or death in the
event of sudden braking or manoeuvres, colli-
sion or accidents or if the airbag deploys.
●
Before the vehicle moves, assume the prop-
er sitting position and maintain it throughout
the trip. This also includes fastening the seat
belt.
●
Never transport more people than there are
seats with a seat belt available in the vehicle.
●
Children must always be protected with an
approved child restraint system suited to
