WARNING
Incorrect use of the steering wheel position adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the steering wheel can cause serious or fatal
injuries.
● After adjusting the steering wheel, always move the lever → Fig. 1 1 up firmly. This prevents the steering wheel from moving
accidentally 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.
