Front passenger's seat
Always move the front passenger seat into
the rea rmos t position .
To avoid contact with the airbag while it is de­
ploying, do not sit any closer to the instru­
ment panel than necessary and always wear
the three-point safety belt provided adjusted
correctly . We recommend that you adjust the
passenger's seat in the following manner:
• Move the front passenger seat into the rear­
most position of the fore and aft adjustment
range
q _& in Why is your seat adjustment
so important? on page 61.
• Bring the backrest up to an (almost) upright
position.
Do not ride with the seat reclined.
• Adjust the head restraint so the upper edge
is as even as possible with the top of your
head . If that is not possible, try to adjust
the head restraint so that it is as close to
this position as possible

_&. WARNING
-
-Never adjust the driver's or front pas­
senger's seat whi le the vehicle is moving.
If you do this while the vehicle is moving,
you will be out of position. Always adjust
the driver's or front passenger 's seat
when the vehicle is not moving.
- Be careful when adjusting the seat
height. Check to see that no one is in the
way, or serious injury could result!
- Because the seats can be electrically ad­
justed with the ignition off or with the
ignition key removed, never leave chil­
dren unattended in the vehicle. Unsuper­
vised use of the electric seat adjust­ ments may cause serious injury.
- To reduce the risk of injury in the case of
sudden braking or accident, front pas­
sengers must never ride in a moving ve­
hicle with the backrest reclined. Safety
be lts and the airbag system only offer
maximum protection when the backrest
is upright and the safety belts are prop­
erly positioned on the body . The more
the backrest is reclined, the greater the
risk of personal injury from an incorrect
seating position and improperly posi­
tioned safety belts .

A WARNING
Check all the roof rack connect ions each
time before eac h tr ip and re -tighten or re ­
adjust if necessary. If you are going to be
driving or rough terra in, you will have to
check the at tachments more often.
If you
do not do th is, the risk of yo ur luggage
coming loose and fa lling off is greater.
The p ins and the roof rack claws must en­
gage secure ly into the holes and in to the
edge of the roof ra iling when you tighten
the screws!
(j) Tips
You can adjust the width of the roof rac k
by using a hexagon wrench and turning the
screws on t he top . Let your author ized

Roof load
The cargo on the roof must be securely at ­
tached. Handling charac teristics change
when cargo is transpor ted.
The permissib le roof load for your veh icle is
165 lbs (75 kg ). The roof lo ad is the total of
the weight o f the roof rack, the attachment s
and the cargo you are carrying .
A WARNING
-The cargo m ust be sec urely attached on
the roof rack, otherwise you ris k an acci­
dent.
- Distrib ute the load as evenly as possib le
and do not make the roof rack wider than
the maximum permitted.
- You must under no circ umstances exceed
the permissible roof load, the permiss i­
b le ax le loads a nd the pe rm issib le over all
weight of your veh icle -risk of an acc i­
dent .
- Mou nt t he attachments to the roo f ra ck
only after you have placed the roof rack
on the vehicle .
- Consider that when tra nspo rting heavy
objects or one w ith a large s urface, the
handling characteristics change due to
shift in the center of gravity or the great­
er surface exposed to the w ind . So adapt
your driving and your speed to prevailing
conditions . We recommend that you do
not drive faster than 80 mph (130 km/
h) .
- Mounti ng a roof rack changes the heig ht
of your vehicle . Keep this in mind when
parking your vehicle in your ga rage, o r
when dr iv ing t hrough a tunne l o r u nder
