Always make sure that the driver's seat
#
is engaged before starting the vehicle.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
the front seat being positioned too close
to the cockpit
The front airbags can also injure the occu‐
pants in the front of the vehicle.
Always adjust the front seats so they
#
are as far away as possible from the
front airbags.
In addition, observe the notes on cor‐
#
rect seat adjustment.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the seat
backrest to an almost vertical position.
You could slip beneath the seat belt and
injure yourself.
Adjust the seat properly before com‐
#
mencing your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
#
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder belt is routed across the
centre of your shoulder.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints not being fitted or being adjus‐
ted incorrectly
If head restraints have not been installed or
have not been adjusted correctly, there is an
increased risk of injury in the head and neck
area, e.g. in the event of an accident or when
braking.
Always drive with the head restraints fit‐
#
ted.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the centre of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
* NOTE Damage to the seats and the seat
heating due to fluids, sharp objects or
insulating materials
To avoid damage to the seats or seat heating,
take the following steps:
Do not spill any fluids onto the seats. If
#
something does get spilt onto the seats,
dry the seats as quickly as possible.
If the seat covers are moist or wet, do
#
not switch the seat heating on. Do not
use the seat heating to dry the seats.
Clean the seats as recommended. See
#
the "Cleaning and care" section.
Do not transport any heavy loads on the
#
seats. Do not place any sharp objects
such as knives, nails or tools on the
seats. Use the seats only for people if
possible.
While the seat heating is in operation,
#
do not cover the seats with insulating
materials such as blankets, coats, bags,
protective covers, child seats or booster
seats.
