WARNING  
Incorrect use of the steering column position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering  
wheel can cause serious or fatal injuries.  
After adjusting the steering column, always move the lever Fig. 1 1 up so that it engages  
securely. This prevents the steering column from moving spontaneously while the vehicle is in  
motion.  
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is in motion. If you determine that adjustment  
is necessary when driving, stop the vehicle safely and adjust the steering wheel to the correct  
position.  
The steering wheel must always point towards the chest and not towards the face. This ensures  
that the driver front airbag provides maximum protection in the event of an accident.  
While driving, always keep both hands on the outside of the steering wheel at the 9 o'clock and  
3 o'clock positions → Fig. 2 . This reduces the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is triggered.  
Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position, or in any other manner, e.g. at the hub  
of the steering wheel. If the driver front airbag is triggered, you could receive severe injuries to  
the arms, hands and head.
