& WARNING Risk of accident due to adjust-
ing the vehicle settings while the vehicle is
in motion
You could lose control of the vehicle in the fol-
lowing situations in particular:
If you adjust the driver's seat, the head
R
restraint, the steering wheel or the mirror
while the vehicle is in motion
If you fasten your seat belt while the vehi-
R
cle is in motion
Before starting the vehicle: in particular,
#
adjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel and mirror, and fasten
your seat belt.
& WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the
seat height is adjusted carelessly
If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you or
other vehicle occupants could be trapped and
thereby injured.
Children in particular could accidentally press
the electrical seat adjustment buttons and
become trapped.
While moving the seats, make sure that
#
hands or other body parts do not get
under the lever assembly of the seat
adjustment system.
& WARNING Risk of injury due to head
restraints not being installed or being
adjusted 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
#
installed.
Before driving off, make sure for every
#
vehicle occupant that the center of the
head restraint supports the back of the
head at about eye level.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the front
and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not be able to
set the height and inclination of the head restraints
to the correct position.
Using the head restraint fore-and-aft adjustment,
adjust the head restraint so that it is as close to
the back of your head as possible.
& 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.
In particular, you could slip beneath the seat-
belt and become injured.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
#
your journey.
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
#
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder belt is routed across the
center of your shoulder.
* NOTE Damage to the seats when moving
the seats back
The seats may be damaged by objects when
moving the seats back.
When moving the seats back, make sure
