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 wheel, always move the lever 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.
