Important safety notes

WARNING

Children could become trapped if they adjust

the seats, particularly when unattended.

There is a risk of injury.

When leaving the vehicle, always take the

SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never

leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.

do the following while driving:

steering wheel or mirrors

There is a risk of an accident.

Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint,

steering wheel and mirror and fasten your

seat belt before starting the engine.

WARNING

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.

There is a risk of injury.

While moving the seats, make sure that your

hands or other body parts do not get under

the lever assembly of the seat adjustment

system.

WARNING

When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle

occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the

seat guide rail. There is arisk of injury.

Make sure when adjusting aseat that no one

has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.

WARNING

If head restraints are not installed and

adjusted correctly, they cannot provide

protection as intended. 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.

WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intended level

of protection if the backrest is not in the

upright position.When braking or in the event

of an accident, you could slide underneath the

seat belt and sustain abdomen or neck

injuries, for example. This poses an increased

risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning

your journey. Always make sure that the seat

is in the upright position.

WARNING

According to accident statistics, children are

safer when properly restrained on the rear

seats than on the front-passenger seat. Thus,

we strongly recommend that children be

placed in the rear seat whenever possible.

Regardless of seating position, children 12

years old and under must be seated and

properly secured in an appropriately sized

child restraint system or booster seat

recommended for the size and weight of the

child. For additional information, see the

"Children in the vehicle" section.

Achild's risk of serious or fatal injuries is

significantly increased if the child restraints

are not properly secured in the vehicle and/

or the child is not properly secured in the child

restraint.

footwell or behind the seats when resetting

the seats. There is a risk that the seats

and/or the objects could be damaged.
