A seated position that suitably reflects
your requirements is a vital condition of
relaxed, fatigue-free driving. In conjunc-
tion with the seat belts and the airbags,
the correct seated position enhances
the passive safety of the car's occu-
pants in the event of an accident. You
should therefore observe the following
notes in order to maintain the protective
function of the car's safety systems.
For additional notes on carrying chil-
dren, see page 61.
Correct seated position in relation
to airbags
Keep your distance from the
airbags. Always grip the steering
wheel on the rim, to minimise the risk of
injury to the hands and arms in the
event of the airbag being triggered off.
No other persons, pets or objects
should be held or permitted to remain
between the airbags and yourself. Do
not use the front airbag cover on the
front passenger's side as a tray, nor
rest your feet or legs on it.

The locations of the airbags and addi-
tional notes are given on page 60.
Safe travel with seat belt
Only one person should be
restrained by each seat belt;
babies and small children must not
travel sitting on the lap of an occupant
of the car. The belts should not be
twisted and must be positioned firmly
over the pelvis and shoulder, as close
to the body as possible. They should
not pass over hard or fragile objects in
your pockets. The seat belt must not
run across the wearer's neck, nor
should it be trapped or abraded by
coming into contact with sharp edges
or objects. Avoid bulky clothing and
remember to tauten the lap belt
frequently where it runs over the
shoulder. In the event of a head-on
collision, the lap belt could otherwise
slide over the hips and injure the lower
part of the body. In addition, the
restraining effect is reduced if the seat
belt is slack against the wearer's body.
Pregnant women should also wear the
seat belt, making sure that the lap strap
is well down on the hips and does not
press on the abdominal region of the
body.

For details of operating the seat belts,
see page 54.
Before adjusting, note:
Do not reposition the driver's seat
while the car is in motion. The seat
could move unexpectedly, leading to
the driver losing control of the car, so
that an accident could be caused. Do
not recline the seat back too far when
the car is being driven (this applies in
particular to the front passenger), or
there will be a risk of "submarining"
under the seat belt, so that the belt
loses its full protective effect.
Do not slide the seats to the rear if the
car is standing on a slope, for instance
a ramp leading to a garage or a steep
hill. This could lead to the automatic
seat belt height adjuster becoming
disconnected.
