WARNING  
When fully open or not completely closed, the front centre armrest can restrict the freedom of  
movement of the driver's arms and therefore cause accidents and serious injuries.  
Always keep stowage compartments closed while the vehicle is in motion.  
Never transport an adult or child on the centre armrest. An incorrect sitting position can  
cause serious injury.  
WARNING  
The rear centre armrest must always be folded up while the vehicle is in motion in order to  
reduce the risk of injury.  
The centre seat on the rear bench seat must never be used when the centre armrest is  
folded down – neither by adults nor children. An incorrect sitting position can cause severe  
injuries.
