Sitting position .
WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the rear seat can cause accidents and serious injuries.
The rear seat should be adjusted only when the vehicle is stationary as the rear seat could otherwise
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is
adopted while adjusting the seat.
Adjust the rear seat only when there is no one in the adjustment area of the rear seats.
WARNING
Cigarette lighters left in the vehicle can become damaged or may ignite unnoticed. This can cause
serious burns and vehicle damage.
Before adjusting the seats, always make sure that there is no lighter on or near the moveable parts
of the seat.
Before closing stowage areas or compartments, always make sure that there is no lighter in the way.
Never stow lighters in stowage areas, compartments or on other surfaces in the vehicle. Cigarette
lighters may self-ignite as a result of high surface temperatures, particularly in summer.
WARNING
In order to reduce the risk of injury while the vehicle is in motion, the centre armrest must always be
folded up and the stowage compartment must be closed.
The middle seat on the rear bench seat must never be used when the centre armrest is folded down
– neither by adults nor children. An incorrect sitting position can cause serious injuries.
Never transport an adult or child on the centre armrest.
Close the stowage compartment only when there is no one in its closing path.
