Seats
Note before adjusting
Never attempt to adjust your seat
while operating the vehicle. The seat
could respond with unexpected movement,
and the ensuing loss of vehicle control
could lead to an accident.
Also on the passenger's side, do not incline
the backrest too far to the rear while the
vehicle is being driven, as otherwise there
is a danger in the event of an accident of
'sliding under' the safety belt, eliminating
the protection normally provided by the
belt.<
Please observe the information on damage
to safety belts provided on page51 and the
information on the active head restraints on
page49.

You can use the control knob to adjust var-
ious functions after first selecting them with
the buttons.

continue to provide optimized protec-
tion, please observe the adjustment
instructions on page47.<

supplementary support to help you main-
tain a relaxed, upright sitting position.

Shoulder support adjustment
6Adjust the tilt angle of the shoulder
support:
You can use the adjustable upper backrest
for supplementary support in the shoulder
region. This provides a relaxed driving
position and helps relieve stress on the
shoulder muscles.
Make corrections in the forward/
backward adjustment of the seat to
ensure that the safety belt still fits firmly
against your body. If you do not do this, the
protection provided by the safety belt may
be reduced.<

ious functions after first selecting them with
