Safety mechanism
E00302500218
If a hand or head is trapped in the closing window, it will lower automatically. Nonetheless, make sure that nobody puts their head or hand out of the window when closing a window.The lowered window will become
operational after a few sec-
onds.
NOTE●
The safety mechanism can be
activated if the driving con-
ditions or other circumstances cause the door windows to be subjected to a physical shock similar to that caused by a trapped hand or head.
●
If the safety mechanism is ac
tivated three or more times in
a row, the safety mechanism will be cancelled and the door window will not close correctly.In such a case, the following
procedure should be imple-
mented to rectify this situation. If the window is open, repeatedly raise the appropri
ate window switch until that
window has been fully closed. Following this, release the switch, raise the switch once again and hold it in this con- dition for at least 1 second, then release it. You shouldnow be able to operate all windows in the normal fashion.
WARNING
!●
If the safety mechanism is activated three or more times successively, the safety mechanism will be tem- porarily cancelled.If a hand or head got trap
ped, a serious injury could
result.CAUTION
!●
The safety mechanism is cancelled just before the window is fully closed. This allows the window toclose completely. Therefore
be especially careful that
no fingers are trapped in the window.

Seat adjustment
E00400300314
Adjust the driver’s seat so th
at you are comfortable and that
you can reach the pedals, steer
ing wheel, switches etc. while
retaining a clear field of vision.
WARNING
!●

at everyone travelling in
your vehicle is in a seat and wearing a seat belt, or in the case of a child is stra
pped in a child restraint.
●
To minimize the risk of pers
onal injury in the event
of a collision or sudden braking, the seatbacks should always be in th
e almost upright position
while the vehicle is in
motion. The protection pro-
vided by the seat belts may be reduced significantly when the seatback is reclined. There is greater riskthat the passenger will slide under the seat belt, resulting in serious inju
ry, when the seatback is
reclined.

!●
Make sure the seat is adju
sted by an adult or with
adult supervision for corr
ect and safe operation.
●
Do not place a cushion or the like between your back and the seatback while driving. The effectiveness of the head restraints will be reduced in the event of anaccident.
