The driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that the pedals can be fully
pressed to the floor with slightly bent legs.
The seat backrest on the driver's seat should be adjusted in such a way that
the upper point of the steering wheel can be easily reached with slightly bent
arms.
Correct adjustment of the seats is particularly important for the following:
›
Reaching the controls safely and quickly,
›
A relaxed and fatigue-free body position.
›
Achieving the maximum protection offered by the seat belts and the airbag
system.

■

the vehicle, never leave people who are not completely independent, such
as children, unattended in the vehicle - there is a danger of injury!
Never carry more people than there are number of seats in the vehicle.
