Safety notes
G
Warning!
In order to avoid possible loss of vehicle
control the

following must be done before the
vehicle is put into motion:
R seat adjustment
R head restraint adjustment
R steering wheel adjustment
R rear view mirror adjustment
R fastening of seat belts G
Warning!
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Adjusting the seat while driving could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat
backrest in

an excessively reclined position as
this can be dangerous. You could slide under
the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under
it, the seat belt would apply force at the
abdomen or neck. That could cause serious
or fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat
belts provide the best restraint when the
wearer is in a position that is as upright as
possible and seat belts are properly
positioned on the body. G
Warning!
Your seat must be adjusted so that you can
correctly fasten your seat belt. Observe the following points:
R
Adjust the

seat backrest until your arms are
slightly angled when holding the steering
wheel.
R Adjust the seat to a comfortable seating
position that still allows you to reach the
accelerator/brake pedal safely. The
position should be as far back as possible
with the driver still able to operate the
controls properly.
R Adjust the head restraint so that it is as
close to the head as possible. The center of
the head restraint must support the back of
the head at eye level.
R Never place hands under the seat or near
any moving parts while a seat is being
adjusted.
Failure to do so could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury. G
Warning!
The power seats can be operated at any time.
Therefore, do not leave children unattended
in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked
vehicle. A child’s unsupervised access to a
vehicle could result in an accident and/or
serious personal injury. G
Warning!
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in the rear
seating positions than in the front seating
position. Thus, we strongly recommend that
children be

placed in the rear seats whenever
possible. Regardless of seating position,
children 12 years old and under must be
seated and properly secured in an
appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler
restraint, or booster seat recommended for
the size and weight of the child. For additional
information, see “Children in the vehicle”.
A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child restraints
are not properly secured in the vehicle and/ 264

Investigate and correct the cause of
interruption.
Now use memory button or seat
adjustment switch to bring the seat into the
desired position.
When folding the seat backrest forward
from a reclined position, and then folding it
back, the seat backrest stops in a more

seat passenger. Adjust the seat backrest
until your arms are slightly angled when
holding the steering wheel.
Head restraint fore and aft adjustment X
Push or pull on the lower edge of the head
restraint cushion to the desired position. Easy-entry/exit feature
This feature allows for easier entry into and

its most rearward position. The steering
wheel moves to its uppermost position.
With the easy-entry/exit feature activated
the steering wheel tilts upwards and the
driver’s seat moves to its most rearward
position
R when you remove the SmartKey from the
starter switch, or
R when you open the driver’s door with the
SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1
or the KEYLESS-GO start/stop button in
position 1
The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched
on or off in the Vehicle menu of the
COMAND system (Y page 190). G
Warning!
You must make sure no one can become
trapped or injured by the moving steering
wheel and driver’s seat when the easy-entry/
exit feature is activated.
To stop seat/steering wheel movement, do
one of the following:
R Press seat adjustment switch.
R Move steering wheel adjustment stalk.
R Press one of the memory position buttons
or the memory button M.
Do not leave children unattended in the
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Children could open the driver’s door and
unintentionally activate the easy-entry/exit
feature, which could result in an accident
and/or serious personal injury.
! Do not activate the easy-entry/exit
feature if the seat backrest is in an
excessively reclined position. Doing so
could cause damage to front or rear seats.
First move the seat backrest to an upright
position.
The steering wheel and driver’s seat will
return to their last set memory position or a
factory-set maximum forward position
