Steering wheel

Points to remember
Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can
adjust the steering wheel either manually or
electrically*.
G Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering
wheel* can be adjusted when the key is
removed from the ignition lock. Therefore,
do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle as they could become trapped as
the steering wheel is adjusted.
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 distracted
from road and traffic conditions by an unex-
pected movement of the steering wheel
and thereby cause an accident.
The steerability of the vehicle is however
not affected.
