Sitting safely

The ideal seating position can make a vital con‐
tribution to relaxed, fatigue-free driving.
The seating position plays an important role in
an accident in combination with:

Safety belts, refer to page 44

.

Head restraints.

Airbags, refer to page 80

.

Seats

Note before adjusting

Do not adjust the seat while driving
Never attempt to adjust the driver's seat

while driving.
The seat could respond with unexpected move‐
ment and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.◀

Do not incline the backrest too far to the
rear

Do not incline the backrest on the front passen‐
ger side too far to the rear during driving. Oth‐
erwise, there is the danger of sliding under the
safety belt in an accident. This would eliminate
the protection normally provided by the belt.◀
Also note the information on

safety belt damage,

refer to page 44

.
