WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
an incorrect seat position
The seat belt does not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the seat
backrest to an almost vertical position.
In particular, you could slip beneath the seat-
belt and become injured.
#
Adjust the seat properly before begin-
ning your journey.
#
Always ensure that the seat backrest is
in an almost vertical position and that
the shoulder belt is routed across the
center of your shoulder.
&
WARNING Risk of injury due to excessive
load on the grab handles
If you apply your full body weight to the grab
handle or pull it abruptly, the grab handle may
be damaged or come loose from its anchor-
age. This may result in injuries.
#
Use the grab handles only to stabilize the
seating position or to assist in getting in
and out of the seat.
&
WARNING Risk of potentially fatal injuries
due to objects trapped under the front
passenger seat
Objects trapped under the front passenger
seat may interfere with the function of the
automatic front passenger air bag shutoff or
damage the system.
#
Do not stow any objects under the front
passenger seat.
#
When the front passenger seat is occu-
pied, ensure that no objects have
become trapped beneath the front
passenger seat.
* NOTE Damage to the seats when moving
the seats back
The seats may be damaged by objects when
moving the seats back.
#
When moving the seats back, make sure
that there are no objects in the footwell,
under or behind the seats.
The switches for adjusting the seats do not move.
You will therefore receive no direct feedback on
the switch while pressing the switch. Feedback is
provided only by the movement of the seat.
