Vehicle Equipment
This chapter describes all standard, national and
special equipment provided in the model series.
Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle is
also described, for example the selected special
equipment or national version. That also applies
to safety-relevant functions and systems.
Safe seated position
A seated position that suitably reflects your re‐
quirements is a vital condition of relaxed driving
with a minimum of fatigue.
In the event of an accident, the seated position
plays an important role together with:
▷ Seat belts, see page 47 .
▷ Head restraints, see page 49 .
▷ Airbags, see page 92 .
Seats
General
No seat adjustment while the vehicle is in
motion
Do not adjust the seat when driving, otherwise
the seat could move unexpectedly, making the
driver lose control of the vehicle, leading to an
accident.◀
Do not incline the backrest too far towards
the rear
Also, do not incline the backrest of the front pas‐
senger seat too far back when driving, otherwise
there is a risk of sliding underneath the seat belt
in case of accident. The protective effect of the
seat belt is lost.◀
