WARNING
Risk of injury due to head restraints not being fitted or being
adjusted incorrectly
If head restraints have not been installed or have not been adjusted
correctly, 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 fitted.
#
Before driving off, make sure for every vehicle occupant that
the centre of the head restraint supports the back of the head
at about eye level.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the front and rear seats. Otherwise,
you will not be able to adjust the height and angle of the head restraints
correctly.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft position so that it is as close as possible
to the back of your head.
&
WARNING
Risk of injury or death due to incorrect seat position
The seat belt will not offer the intended level of protection if you have
not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position.
In particular, you may slip under the seatbelt and injure yourself.
#
Adjust the seat properly before beginning your journey.
#
Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical
position and that the shoulder section of your seat belt is
routed across the centre of your shoulder.
&
WARNING
Risk of potentially fatal injuries due to objects trapped under the
front passenger seat
Objects trapped under the front passenger seat may interfere with the
function of the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff or damage the
system.
#
Do not stow any objects under the front passenger seat.
#
When the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that no
objects have become trapped beneath the front passenger
seat.
*
NOTE
Damage to the seats when adjusting
The seats may be damaged by objects when adjusting the seats.
#
When adjusting the seats, make sure that there are no objects
in the footwell, under or behind the seats.
