Important safety notes
G WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:

adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirrors
R
fasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint, steer-
ing wheel and mirrors and fasten your seat
belt before starting the engine.
G WARNING
The head restraints cannot provide the inten-
ded protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints
support the back of each vehicle occupant's
head at eye level before driving off.
Do not interchange the head restraints of the
front and rear seats. Otherwise, you will not
be able to adjust the height and angle of the
head restraints to the correct position.
Adjust the head restraint fore-and-aft posi-
tion so that it is as close as possible to the
back of your head.
Observe the important safety notes regarding
the seats (
