Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If the backrest is not engaged, it could fold
forwards during a braking manoeuvre or in the
event of an accident, for example. The seat
backrest will then push the vehicle occupant
against the seat belt. The seat belt cannot
protect as intended and could result in addi-
tional injury. This poses an increased risk of
injury.
Before each journey, make sure that the back-
rest engages fully as described.
G
WARNING
You could lose control of the vehicle while
driving if you:
R
adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirror
R
fasten the seat belt.
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, steering wheel or
mirror and fasten the seat belt before starting
the engine.
G
WARNING
When adjusting a seat, you or another vehicle
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.
Observe the safety notes on "Airbags"
