Adjust seat and sit in correct position
The front seats should not be posi - tioned too close to the steering
wheel or dashboard. Maintain a
distance of at least 25 cm and sit in a normal upright position. The top of the head restraint should be at
eye level or higher. Always keep your feet in the footwell.
Wear the seat belt correctly
Make sure that the shoulder section of the belt is positioned over the
centre of the shoulder and move the lap section as far down over the
hips as possible. The belts should always be worn so that they fit
tightly
(see illustration).
Safety of children in the vehicle
Children under 12 should travel on the rear seat. They must be
protected by a child restraint system which complies with the
European standard ECE-R 44 and is suitable for the child’s height and
weight. The safest place for the child restraint system is behind the
front passenger’s seat.
WARNING!
Please follow the instructions in the Owner’s
Manual. Please also read the instructions for your
child seat.
