Notes on the correct driver's seat position

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

restraint, the steering wheel or the mirror

while the vehicle is in motion

If you fasten your seat belt while the vehi-

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.

Ensure the following when adjusting steering

depress the pedals properly

The back of your head is supported at eye

level by the center of the head restraint

You can hold the steering wheel with your

arms slightly bent

You can move your legs freely

You can see all the displays on the driver dis-

Observe the notes on correctly fastening the

seat belt (/ page 38).

Vehicles with an AMG Performance seat: if the

front passenger seat is unoccupied, this can lead

to noise caused by the seat belt tongue knocking

against the seat. You can prevent this by sliding

the seat belt tongue upwards with the seat belt

adjuster clip. If the front passenger seat is occu-

pied, ensure that the seat belt adjuster clip is

pushed down. Only then will the seat belt t

snugly against the body.
