G Risk of accident
Only adjust the driver's seat when the vehi-
cle is stationary. You will otherwise be dis-
tracted from the road and traffic conditions
and you could lose control of the vehicle as
a result of the seat moving. This could
cause an accident.
G Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stationary and do not pull away
until the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism is locked in position. You might oth-
erwise drive without the steering wheel
adjustment mechanism being locked in
position. As a result, you could be distrac-
ted from road and traffic conditions by an
unexpected movement of the steering
wheel and thereby cause an accident.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is
not affected.
Check whether seat 3 and the head
X
restraint are adjusted properly
( page 63).
