Important safety notes
G
WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:
R
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,
steering wheel and mirrors and fasten your
seat belt before starting the engine.
G
WARNING
When adjusting a seat, you or another vehi-
cle occupant could become trapped by the
guide rail of the seat, for instance. There is a
risk of injury.
Make sure that no one has any part of their
body within the sweep of the seat when
adjusting it.
G
WARNING
The head restraints cannot provide the
intended 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 brak-
ing, 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.
G
WARNING
If there is not enough clearance, the suspen-
sion seat could trap body parts between the
steering wheel and the suspension seat.
There is a risk of injury.
Ensure that there is enough clearance for
the movements of the suspension seat.
Before getting out, lower the suspension
seat completely.
G
WARNING
If you push the suspension seat bellows
inwards, your hand could become trapped.
There is a risk of injury.
Do not push the bellows inwards.
! Ensure that no objects in the cab are
blocking the seats. The seats could other-
wise be damaged.
! Ensure that the seats do not get wet.
Moisture can damage the seats.
Your seat must be adjusted in such a way that
you can fasten your seat belt correctly.
Observe the following points:
R
set the seat backrest to a position as near
to vertical as possible and sit as upright as
possible. Never drive with the seat backrest
reclined too far back.
R
your arms should be slightly bent when you
are holding the steering wheel.
R
avoid seat positions which do not allow the
seat belt to be routed correctly. The shoul-
der section of the belt must be routed
across the centre of your shoulder and must
be pulled tight against your upper body. The
lap belt must always be routed across your
lap as low down as possible, i.e. across your
hips.
R
maintain a distance to the pedals that
allows you to depress them fully.
Information on seat cleaning can be found in
the "Cleaning and care" section (
Y
page 152).
A seat with an integrated seat belt is a safety-
relevant component and restraint system.
Ensure that you read the safety guidelines in
the "Occupant safety" section (
Y
page 32).
