General information
Ensure that:
– Always check to see if the locking mecha-
nism is properly engaged by pulling the
backrest forwards.
– Never adjust the seats when the vehicle is
moving – this could lead to an accident.
– Your torso is at least 25 cm away from the
steering wheel.
– Your arms are bent slightly at the elbows.
– You have a good view of your surroundings and
can see the instrument cluster and head-up dis-
play* at all times.
Seat adjustment
– You always hold the steering wheel with both
hands on the outside of the rim at about the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock position while driving.
WARNING
– Before setting off, make sure that the steer-
ing wheel is correctly adjusted and that it
cannot slip out of the engaged position –
risk of accident!

– If you are too close to the steering wheel,
the driver airbag cannot protect you correct-
ly – risk of severe or fatal injury!
– Never hold the steering wheel at the 12
o'clock position, or with your hands inside
the rim or on the steering wheel hub. This
could result in serious injuries to the arms,
hands and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
