Assuming an incorrect sitting position in the vehicle can increase the risk of severe or fa-tal injuries during a sudden driving or brak-ing manoeuvre, in the event of a collision or accident, or if the airbags are triggered.
• All vehicle occupants must assume a cor-rect sitting position before setting off and maintain this position throughout the trip. This also applies to the fastening of seat belts.
• The number of vehicle occupants must never exceed the number of seats with seat belts in the vehicle.
• Always secure children in the vehicle in an authorised restraint system which Is suita-ble for their height and page 96, 87.
• Always keep your feet in the footweli while the vehicle is in motion. Never place your feet on the seat or dash panel, for example, and never ride with your feet out the window. When you are sat like this, the airbag and seat belt cannot provide optimal protection and could actually increase the risk of Injury during an accident.
A WARNING
Always adjust seats, seat belts and head re-straints to their correct position before any journey and ensure that ail passengers have fastened their seat belt.
• Push the front passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Adjust the driver seat so that there is at least 25 cm between your breastbone and the hub of the steering wheel. If your build makes it impossible to fulfil this requirement then you must contact a qualified workshop so they can make any necessary modifications.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far back. The further back the backrest is tilted, the greater the risk of injury caused by incor-rect seat belt routing or an incorrect sitting position.
• Never travel with the back rest tilted far forwards. When a front airbag is triggered it could force the seat backrest backwards and injure vehicle occupants on the back seats.
• Adopt and maintain the greatest possible distance from the steering wheel and dash panel.
• You should always sit upright with your back against the seat back rest with the front seats properly adjusted. Do not position any body part too close where the airbags are fit-ted.
• The risk of serious injury Is increased for passengers on the rear seat if they are not sitting upright because the seat belts are in-correctly positioned.
A WARNING
Incorrect adjustment of the seats can cause accidents and serious injuries.
• The seats may only be adjusted when the vehicle is stationary, or else the seat could change position unexpectedly while the vehi-cle is in motion, leading to a loss of control of the vehicle. Furthermore, an incorrect seating position is adopted while adjusting the seat. .,.
