General information
Make sure that:
►
To move the seat all the way forward or to the
original position, press the 3 button briefly.
You can stop the seat by pressing the button
again.
– The distance between your upper body and the
steering wheel is at least 10 inches (25 cm).
– Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows.
– You have a sufficient view of the area around
the vehicle and you have a clear view of the in-
strument cluster and head-up display*.
WARNING
Always make sure the front seats are upright
and securely locked in place.
– Power entry assistance also works when the
ignition is turned off or when the vehicle
1)
key is removed, so that rear seat passengers
can still move to the front of the vehicle in
an emergency situation. To reduce the risk
of injury, children should never be left unat-
tended in the vehicle for this reason.
– You are always holding the steering wheel with
both hands on the outer edge at the sides (9:00
and 3:00 position) when driving.
WARNING
– To reduce the risk of an accident, make sure
the steering wheel is adjusted correctly and
cannot be moved out of position before you
start to drive.
Tips
To prevent the head restraints from running
into the headliner, the power adjustable head
restraints* automatically move forward or up-
ward when the seat is adjusted.
– If you are too close to the steering wheel,
the driver's airbag cannot provide optimal
protection, which increases the risk of injury
or death.
Front center armrest
– Never hold the steering wheel in the 12:00
position or in any other way, such as holding
the center of the steering wheel. Otherwise,
your arms, hands, and head could be injured
in the event that the driver's airbag deploys.
