WARNING
The seat belt does not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the back-
rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-
ing or in the event of an accident, you could
slide underneath the seat belt and sustain
abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the backrest
is in an almost vertical position and that the
shoulder section of your seatbelt is routed
across the centre of your shoulder.

WARNING
If the front seats are positioned too closely to
the dashboard or steering wheel, the front
airbags could cause additional injuries to
vehicle occupants in the front. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always adjust the front seats so that they are
as far away as possible from the front airbags.
In addition, observe the instructions on how to
adjust the seats correctly.
!
To prevent damage to the seats and the seat
heating, observe the following notes:
R
Do not spill liquids onto the seats. Dry the
seats as soon as possible if liquid does get
spilt on the seats.

switch on the seat heating. Also, do not use

rying passengers.

cover the seats with insulating materials,
e.g. blankets, coats, bags, protective cov-
ers, child seats or booster seats.
