~ information and safety warnmgs ~on
page 66.
Adjust the steering wheel position before setting
off
and only when the vehicle is sta tionary.
• Push down the lever =>Fig . 50 G).
• Adjust the steering wheel so that you can hold
it on the outside
of the ring (at the 9 o'cl ock and 3
o'clock positions) with both hands and slightly bent
arms.
• Push the lever up firmly until it lines up with the
steering column
=> ~-
Incorrect use of the steering column position
adjustment and incorrect adjustment of the
steering wheel can cause serious or fatal in­
juries.
• After adjusting the steering column, al­
ways move lever CD up so that it engages se­
curely. This prevents the steering column
from moving spontaneously while the vehicle
is in motion.
• Never adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is in motion. If you determine that a
readjustment is necessary, stop the vehicle
safely and adjust the steering wheel to the
correct position.
• The steering wheel must always point to­
wards the chest and not towards the face.
This ensures that the driver front airbag pro­
vides maximum protection in the event of an
accident.
• While driving, always keep both hands on
the outside of the steering wheel, at the 9
o'clock and 3 o'clock positions. This reduces
the risk of injury if the driver front airbag is
triggered.
• Never hold the steering wheel at the
12 o'clock position, or in any other manner,
e.g .
on the hub of the steering wheel. If the
driver front airbag is triggered, you could re­
ceive severe injuries to the arms, hands and
head. ~--------------------------____ _j Sitting correctly and safely 73
